I heard not so good things about Glendene. Something about an SR20 rebuild taking 6 months and costing $18,000. I can't vouch for any of the truth, just came up when I was talking to my panelbeater about the overall uselessness of automotive industry to get things done at a reasonable speed.

contains pics for the starion internals into a l200/sigma gearbox case http://www.dentsport.com/gallery/v/dsg/tech/starion/ In regards to "wideblock" vs "narrowblock" As a rule of thumb: Turbo + North/South orientation = wideblock, 330mm between bottom bellhousing dowel pins All others (including East/West orientation Turbo) = narrowblock, 310mm There are exceptions to the rule though, some 4G52s and 4G54s are wideblock depending if auto or not, and some later model 4G64 van engines are wideblock also.

Cheers boy

Well considering he's got 2 more cyclinders and about 700cc more than me, probably a good idea.

How do I find this out? And wouldn't the chunks get caught up in the intercooler anyway?

Hey guys, I have a turbo off of an R33 2.5 skyline. It's a ball bearing T3 as far as I'm aware (pretty much positive). Anyway, just wondering if anyone knows what pressure / hp these are rated to? Cheers

Coupes don't look good in matte black. Kills the lines. I think I'm just gonna keep it primery or maybe just get one of those paintmatched cans made up, that'll look patchy as fuck.

We'll see. I'm just figuring out who can do this. I'll assess the damage when it's all primered up.

I could be looking at just an easy respray. Acrylic will do. Not even door jambs. Just so the car dosen't look all hagardy and primer-patched.

Who was it? I'm sure he was down south somewhere and were keen to paint some cars if we could bring them to him. Obviously will help with sanding and anything else, just can't afford a proper job. Temp stz.

Ok then, in light of this, where would I get a rebuilt kit, and what is in them?

I have no idea, I'm just lazy Nah it's probably all good, although I suspect that there is a gasket grafted to it that just aint coming off.

Get a custom plenum made! WEST said he was interested in doing some manufacturing work.

Yo, Where abouts in Auckland can I get a throttle-body rebuilt? Or reconned or what ever... Chur

better go well

They are coming from a shop called GemRacing in Melbourne. Forgies floating on shotpeened rods, all set to the right compression for use with the stroker crank.

Turns out they were most probably SR20 pistons. Bore is 86mm. Dosen't matter now, getting a new set anyway, forgies here I come

Might be a good idea to bring spare brake pads.

Some Hilux diffs don't need to be shortened. Mine was onle 20mm wider so was still good.

Sparkle, was it a red one? A friend of my one of my mates with a Strada has a very very brutal one.

Welcome dude, I have 2 mates with Strada Abarths too. Awesome little cars they are!

Probably not worth the effort tho. The Chevette hatch has the same diff mounts as the Gemini wagon, they are angled. The piazza ones are upright so you'll have to modify the mounts on it if you wanna use it.

(off topic) Mark, sorry I keep deleting your account.. your username looks lots like a spambot and I obviously haven't been paying enough attention when I go through them. Sorry dude.

Yo, Any one know how much oil I'm supposed to put in my Hilux LSD? Chur

Yeah, I have my doubts tho, I asked this on the Gemini forums and I'm sure someone would know if they were an o/s replacement. + I don't recall any oversize pistons being avaliavle with dish.
