November 6, 200817 yr comment_287921 Just come in/up and see if I'm home next time. I was outside doing something and didn't realise I had a msg. So how long till she's back on the road again? oh btw, do you still have the cressy? Mate of mine bought one the same earlier in the week, very sentimental as it was his late grandfather's car 10+ years ago. Still bloody neat for it age and got it for $900. I gave him evil ideas about NA motors the other night, but either NA or turbo it will be getting a 2JZ conversion!!! :) Report

January 8, 200917 yr comment_306027 Wouldn't use that T3 if I were you. :P Do you wanna be restricted to under 14psi? Edited January 16, 200917 yr by Taz_Rx Report
January 9, 200917 yr Author comment_306131 yes its a r32 rb20det T3 i figure it will flow allot more than the ct20, and for $50 who could say no, has minimal shaft play back and fourth, and the car it come from got a boost increase 2 months ago but they run a boost cut sound any better simon? I'm making a flange adapter thing off plans from google, headf@$k converting inch to mm :P also i thaught it might make it easyer for an upgrade Report
