Added to the Steady growing stock pile

Purchased a 2nd hand Turbo via import Monster for a high flow upgrade, to prepare for the inevitable ceramic wheel failure.... (78000kms current)

Purchased the new Greddy Profec boost controller threw just jap (its been annoying watching the gauge and feeling the factory boost settings dropping of back to 7-9psi.)

Looking forward to installing all at once

Oil and filter this weekend, first car I have owned in which i changed oil on time instead of kays.

Used to doing 30+k a year, new job, new (old) car which wifey & young daughter get shaken up and now I'll be lucky if a crack 10k a year.

On the down side, found a ruined drivers inner CV boot and probably a dead breather in the gbox, I have a smurf bood dribble down the box...

Explains the gearbox oil smell after it gets a few revs.

Pain in the A though.

Nice! If you dont mind me asking - how much did the turbo set you back?

I installed my aux cable to the TV tuner on the weekend and replaced a few cracked vac hoses - not much, but its something!

The last Hypergear turbo took a month, as Tao was in China. It's a very good idea if you can get one, although you will never get that sort of money back for them over here, not unless they are running perfectly.

Perhaps I can loan my spare out for a small fee? I would love to have a highflow on the shelf to help customers out, but I can't justify having $1300 tied up in a turbo sitting in the garage.

The Nm35 2nd hand turbo was $437.50 thats delivered to my place inclusive...

Today

Purchased Blitz catback exhaust...

Purchased R34 GTT RDC brand replacement cross drilled dimpled, slotted front rotors ill get the new callipers once I do a bit more research & bargain hunting...

roof racks mounted, rear cargo net also put on, not sure what it's supposed to mount down to, so just have it hanging from the room like a net

hopefully put the suspension in over the week, have so much to do :(

I fitted my replacement headlight in my sII and the light is poiting waaay to far down, tried to adjust it up with the screw and the electric adjustemnt fights me and just moves it back down...am i missing something here on how to adjust it up?

make sure that the globe is sitting correctly into the fiting it might be sitting up on one of the tabs

My mechanic relearned the throttle body. What a missiin that was. No body touch your throttle body (besides craig). I was unaware before and now after going through the mishap wouldnt recommend it to anyone. On a lighter not received the oem hids that I will be installing this week.

It is a bit of an epic if you don't get the timing of each step right, but a bit of practice gets it done.

You'll like the HID's. ;)

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
