^^^ Japanese company with an office in Australia. I am thinking about one of there Throttle response controllers for the 8 as well...

Nengun want $570 plus shipping but there AU eBay store is only $460 delivered...

Main engine/performance modifications are 3" turbo-back exhaust, Blitz intercooler, nismo 480cc injectors, and a high-flow turbo I picked up second hand (don't know the full specs). Turbo has a 10psi actuator on it, and is using the factory boost control via nistune (which brings it a little over 12psi).

Martin seemed very surprised at how well the turbo came onto boost, etc.

Wow. Just wow. As if you would drive in such a state, in such a car, in such circumstances, past the LARGEST POLICE STATION IN SA! That is a whole new level of stupid.

Bout to do an oil change any oil people recommend? And also a filter

I've been using royal purple 10w40 in my gtr for a while now. And just the ryco filters from repco, supercheaps etc

Can anyone figure out where the scam is going to come in here. I'm selling my ranger ute and i know i'm being scammed because of the language that they are using but i can't figure out how the scam is going to work;

I work for EMC and i'm presently away in Darwin on a project with no means of getting home, i need this vehicle transport myself and my tools back home as i'm originally from Sydney.
Please send me your bank details as i'm ready to transfer the payment for the vehicle to your account in full.
Kind Regards,
Craig.

Hey Craig,
As stated in the Gum Tree advertisement, i have received a promotion and my new salary package includes Toyota Hilux so i have no need for the Ranger as it is a second vehicle.
I am happy with the price of $12,5000 and i am sure that there is no finance on the vehicle as i carried out a check on the vehicle when i bought it and i paid cash, but i will forward the VIN to you tomorrow.
Just to let you know i will not accept payment through paypal and i will not be transferring any money out of my account to verify my details. Preferred payment is cash in pickup and i will be reluctant to accept any other form of payment.
Dale

May i know your reason for selling this Vehicle, please let me know if there's any money owing on it.
I can pay $12,500 and I will be delighted if you consider me as the next owner, let me know if my offer is good enough.
Craig.

Hello Craig,
Please find attached the service history for the Ranger Ute that you inquired about on Gum Tree the night before last.
There are interior pictures in the Gum Tree advertisement, is there anything in particular that you want shown in the interior.
I will get the VIN off the VIN plate tonight and forward to you.
As for price $12,500 is the lowest i will go before i start removing items from the sale like the canopy, aftermarket chip, and cruise control.
Thanks
Dale

Definite Scam... They often cruise and bulk hit Carsales adverts.

They then say that they are out of state and will have a transport company pick up the car.

They send the payment via paypal or something and then that money is held under order by them.

They put the hold and say that once they have a receipt from transport that the car has been picked up that they will then notify Paypal.

And here is the Scam... You can see the money in your Paypal account waiting to clear (so you think all is good) but they then say to Paypal that they never received the receipt of pickup and as such do not know who picked up your car. They stop the transfer and your car has already driven up the road on some transport that they have arranged as part of the scam.

They tried it on my 33 a few weeks ago. Reported it to Carsales and they have now blocked the email address. The one used for mine was [email protected]

Hi Guys, Sorry to interupt.

My OP6 Turbo failed on sunday (seized) R34 GTT. I was lazy and got a local workshop to pull it off and was advised to get it Highflowed.

Not having much experience outside of my 32GTR I let them handle it. (Before reading the Hypergear thread :( in F.I )

Short story they had sent it the same arvo to Adelaide Turbo Services (ATS) before I could advise to send to Hypergear.

Oh well didn't know better or expect such speedy service.

Just wanting to know the good, bad & ugly if any one has used or heard of them please.

Cheers

Richard

ATS will be fine, they use a garrett ball bearing core instead of the journal that Stao uses, so the price will reflect that. I would imagine if your keeping standard front and rear housings its getting hiflowed to 2871 spec, will make a lazy 250-260 with supporting mods.

Dale, all you need to register a car and transfer ownership these days is a VIN and a receipt (you don't need rego papers).......he's got your VIN and probably a nice fake receipt now.

Hopefully he isn't able to get owner details from the VIN, i.e. your name and address to be able to complete the receipt.....without that you're pretty safe.

Cash or Bank Cheque buddy!!

Thanks Ben :thumbsup: appreciate the reply mate.

Likely grab a Z32, Nistune, injectors and perhaps upgrade fuel pump so I can make use of the extra killerwasps

Already got the FMIC, Splitfires, Xzorst.

As it's my daily Auto wont go too wild or the Trans will be off to MV's

Edit: Likely see some of you guys at the Nats in my 32

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • 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.
