Calling Tuggeranong Nappy Valley started WAY back in the late 70s early 80s when all the young couples moved out that way and built homes and hatched babies... It was hugely cheaper to to buy / build out that way compared to living in 'inner' Canberra. Plus for years it was the only place where you could actually buy land and build somewhere new......(Gungahlin was still sheep paddocks)

Queanbeyan used to be called 'Struggle City' (still is by some) as for years you only really lived out there if you were deathly poor. Homes, units, flats purchase and rentals etc were all CHEAP compared to Canberra.

:elaugh:

Hey all,

It is candy apple red and has a Plazmaman FMIC, Garrett GT28 turbo, BOV, FR17" Simmons, Stinger 4424 EMS, borg warner 3.9 diff.

I've been poking around this site for quite a while now and there seems to be some pretty good info.

See you all around!

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
