 yeah, but an exceptional one:D Is that Gavin Wood at Labrador? I've heard just recently he's the man for skyline servicing in SE Queensland.

$1500 bucks for all the parts:rolleyes: from what I could find that's enough to cover the box only!!!

Yeah. We've been to him 3 times now. All for different problems. One being the HICAS. Its fixed now but something else is wrong (which wasn't his fault) and we've had it serviced by him too. Can't complain about anything. Cept the Boost gauge we got put in stopped working but thats only cause the line crimped behind the face of the gauge.

He's not too expensive either.

Well I'm Gary,

Most of you will remember as Gary from the old SDU forums. I have since sold my 33 gtst.....(sob sob) and am soon expecting my new 260 RS Stagea, and boy am I looking forward to that day... I live on the Western side of Brisbane and enjoy going for "spirited" drives through the mountains... Now that the new forums are up and running I will speak to you guys more often. I guess I will see you all later at some time.

Cheers

Gary

Just an update, for anyone who cares... I finally got my dirty little hands on an R33 GTS25t over the weekend. It's sitting in Osaka at the moment, but should be in Bris on the 5th of August and in my dirty little hands about two weeks after that.

Car: Don't ask what I drive now, but just had a loan approved, so I'm about to hunt down an R33.

Occupation: Sysadmin (professional geek) at the same place as Squizz.

No doubt will meet some/all of you when I finally get the new car.

 Hi Sciby.... you still with OCAU?

 

Hey Jay,

Yup, still doing the OCAU thing, but I haven't done news posts for ages. Typing all that out gets very boring after a while. I mainly write articles now, but I still administrate the forums and irc channel as well.

Was rather surprised to be recognised on here via OCAU. :(

Well the car has to be complied as standard.....(bugger)...

Mine is to get upgraded turbo's, new computer, exhaust, 18 (maybe 19) inch wheels, and dropped on it's guts. I'm also thinking of stroking the RB26 up to a 3 litre:D Then it should produce around 500 horses at all wheels. I'm also doing a bit of a body modification, but I'm keeping that secret at the moment.

What I want is, evryone to think WTF!!!

Be patient and all will see the unleashed beast.

Cheers

Gary

As much as I'd love a 34 GTR, there's just something about a super fast WAGON that I can totally dig. Imagine some wanker in his V8 Ute thinking he's king of the world, next thing this big arse wagon with huge wheels pulls up next to it and looks over. Then bang, what ute ?

I'm sure that's what you're thinking aren't you gary :uh-huh:

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
