hi guys,

i live in sydney & i am buying an r32gtr which is in coffs harbour.

ive looked at the car last weekend & its looks great, however, i want to organise an inspection to make sure that there is no accident damage & that the suspension/bushes are not showing any signs of circuit abuse in its previous life when in japan.

which workshop is recommended in coffs harbour (hopefully within 30min drive) who can look at it on a hoist?

im set to pick up the car next wed so i could get the car there anytime after 8am...

regards

marko

Oh man - I worked in Coffs for a year and a half and the only thing to say is unless you're mates with a workshop, or any other company, they are a pain in the ass to deal with.

If you get stuck I know a couple of guys in Coffs that I used to work with that have rather extensive workshop available to them.

I will check out with mates to see if they have access next week. I found Coffs to be the most frustrating place when it came to business. They truly have the 'if you're an outsider, get f**ked' approach to life.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
