Hyper gear look good, cheers

I generally do everything myself, including engine builds and tuning.

but have always thought, automatic transmissions and turbos are for the people with the correct tools and know how, correct me if I'm wrong.

You could assemble it yourself with that kit if you could find the tolerances, but you would still have to pay for the VSR balancing. Easier to just give it to Stao and have him build, balance and warrant it. Sometimes, when the turbo seizes in operation it will twist the shaft and require replacement.

He could also modify the thrust washer for less friction or enlarge the wastegate and puck if internal gate, and if you want more from it add a billet compressor wheel. ;)

I wouldn't recommend trying to assemble a small high speed turbo chra yourself....

You can't really enlarge the wastegate 'hole' and puck... it swings the wrong way and will foul. already looked at it.

I rebuilt my engine and valve body a few months ago, what makes you think a turbo would be difficult? I have a lathe here to machine the housings for highflow and a milling machine for the wastegate. Anything is possible with ingenuity.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without a mechanical background... Just have a chat with Hypergear. ;)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
