then the normal mods followed hks dump and front pipe, full titanium cat back, bilstein adjustable shocks and cusco springs all round.

Then a new front lip

Just after fitting this on the way to work i hit a roo. It put an end to the lip bumper, bonnet and grill. So i decided after looking for bits for sale i found a full gtr n1 front end for sale. All the work was done by all type crash in Adelaide to get everything right. however it did not come with a genuine front bar instead a huge after market one that did not look to good. I found the headlights on ebay.

So the enkeis that i had only just purchased were far to small to fill the new front gaurds

so i was on the hunt for new wheels again.

whilst visiting some local importers i purchased a power fc and gtr wing.

i found a new Trust bar for sale yes i know it a fibreglass copy but it looked better then what was on there and fitted the gtr wing

The new wheels arrived 5zigen gn race pros however 17x9.5 +17 whilst fitting fine on the front were 6cms out on the back with my choice of tire being a 255 40 17 r888

with some work and help from my old man we managed to get the 6cms out of the gaurds whilst still retaining the flat lip on the edge

    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
