24. I think...???

Ive always thought that the age was very biased towards younger people. which is interesting considering the number of 33s in the mix - theyre affordable fun, but theyre still not super-cheap.

Its not to say that I didnt think younger people would have fast cars, just that I thought that there would be a majority towards thirty, not twenty.

I guess it's an interesting reflection on the changing mentality between the generations - with more thirty year olds tending towards the monaro/ss type markets and the younger people more willing to embrace different, or possibly better marketed, imports.

I'd hate to think of us as a fast and the furious generation, but the tag might not be so far from the truth.

I didnt buy my car after seeing either of those movies - but I know some (mostly sub 20yo) people who love them...and ultimately probably aspire to them. we might not like the analogy, but it's difficult to avoid.

Id prefer to think of the movement towards jap imports by the early 20 somethings as a response to growing up watching the GTRs whoop everyone in the touring cars, then get banned cause they were too fast (and too expensive to compete against), rather than out of more recent street racer hype....

Well the age group is broader than I thought. It's actually surprised me given the cost of running one of beasts with insurance, price of after-market parts and fuel economy but I suppose if you love the marque then you're prepared to pay the price. (sorry for going a little OT).

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
