For all those interested, I got it brand new from Greenline Performance. Jason was an absolute champion to deal with and despite being told that I probably won't get it til early april to due stock out, here I am with it. I'd prefer not to publicly announce the price but it was consderably cheaper than what a speed shop here would sell it for. There obviously were cheaper alternatives but end of the day, it's still a brand new HKS turbo. I was lucky and didn't get stopped by customs so no GST or import tax for me.

Will let you know how she goes once I bolt it on. More comparison photos between this and stocker on way too.

Hmm.....drag combat eh....sorry Paul, if anything else goes wrong with the car now i'd be too far up sh!t creek financially to recover and still keep the car. Not willing to push it at this point in time cause I need my beast to get me to work. Will have to wait for another time....

I will be down at SST this saturday getting her tuned though. Booked it all in with Steve the other day. Do you know if steve's got fuel pressure reg's for sale? i think he may find i'm gonna need one when he tunes it on sat.

Tune didn't go so well. Drove it on with 7psi and immediately laid down 244RWHP but as soon as I went to wind the boost up she would lean right off. After much mucking around, we put it down to an incorrectly installed fuel pump so I left unhappy and faced with more $$$ to spend. Am getting a fuel pressure reg too and possibly a Z32 AFM cause i'm hitting boost cut around 0.98bar.

As far as a start goes, 244 @ 7psi isn't a bad one. Turbo feels fuggin awesome when it kicks in (about 2-300 later than stock), comes in much stronger than old one but will have to wait for dyno graph showing 300+ for the moment. Rest assured I'll post it up when it happens. Just waiting on parts and $$ now.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
