I ordered the parts on the 25th of August. I did get a great deal on the kit although some better communication skills wouldnt go astray.

My first email said "When funds a cleared parts will be sent immediately"

I also got no reply to questions in my emails.

However I couldn't get the same prices in Australia for the gear I got and will be ordering from them again.

I went and dropped the turbos to Autotech this arvo. Motor is looking pretty mean!! Shell is looking pretty dead :cheers:

I was told today that the car is one week from completion. Then 1,000km of running in and back for tuning.

Delivered in 5 working days. Order was made a month ago.

Taking them to get fitted tomorrow and then motor put back into car.

Can't wait. Car has been 4 months to get back on the road.

Can't wait for it. Can finally make some cruises/events!!

Good to see you finally got the kit, I also decided to go the GT-SS kit off Nengun :cheers:, been close to 3 weeks since I ordered and payed for them, got to be patient, haha.

You've got to let us know how things progress when you get it tuned/dyno'ed.

now days the gt42 800hp capable turbo is smaller in dimension wise than gt30 600hp capable turbo that is only 6 yrs old... both housings and wheels are smaller and more efficient as well as better core :(

did you refresh your engine internal to cope with the turbos?

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
