Dymchurch ... kent ...

... anyone local who could pick up a turbo for me if I win it on Eblag. Possible collection this weekend or next.

[gregster]

No-one that springs to mind is real near there Neal...dunno if any of the lads from the planet-thanet will be heading that way for a trundle?

Has it got manifolds etc on it, cos if its just the turbo then Parcel2go wont be dear and it will be on you doorstep within a couple of days...

[Drift]

I reckon £20 with a courier with the manifold attached

[RatCav]

No manifold ... just the turbo ... will investigate parcel to go ... just easier to collect from a fogger than trying to arrange with a seller for him/her to wait for a courier.

I think I am the closest but its a three hour round trip.
If they can get it to Littlebourne near Canterbury where I work I could put it on a carrier from there.
I think a carrier would be easiest maybe the seller could get it collected from their work.
However I do find myself doing surprise trips as i am self employed so it may be that I could be down that way soon.

[RatCav]

No worries lads. I will keep looking and mail the seller.

Hi Neal...I live the closest to Dymchurch at the moment mate.. Are you just requiring it be collected from the seller and you pick it up from me ? I go down to Dungeness to walk the dog so could pick it up for you but i can't forward it coz i aint got no fronty at the moment..I go with my neighbour to Dungeness

[RatCav]

If you can collect it I can then arrange a courier from you. That would be grand. I just have had issues with courier collection from sellers as they want exact collection times.

Neal - hopefully you'll get a result with the other lads, but if you don't and your seller ventures near Tunbridge Wells, if he is willing to drop it off at my works, I could become a part in the jigsaw puzzle if it helps.

P.S. if he's breaking a Trooper and the gearbox is the same MUA as used on the Fronty As (except the 2 litre Sports) I might chance my arm and see if he will sale me the Rear Transfer Box casing. In which case I could collect for you. - Trying every angle now

[RatCav]

Its not for the Trooper buddy ... its a Garrett T28 Turbo off a Nissan Skyline R32 ... its for my Nissan 300ZX.

[Kevin1964]

Watcha. If you bid and win the item.. Best you pm me the collection details but i will have to work round my neighbor in having it collected when we next walk the dog so we can do a detour to Dymchurch on the way home...

Will let you know the result later this week.

Cheers once again buddy.

Hi Neal. If Kevin is unable to do the pick up for you i'm just a bit further away in Hastings if you need my services.

Alan.

[RatCav]

Got to love FOG.

You are all stars for helping me on this one. Will let you know on this thread if I win it.

[Kevin1964]

I should be ok for the collection but you never know things can always run against us if we plan stuff..If things change for me i'll drop you a pm so you can make other arrangements.. Only happy to help out

[Kevin1964]

Just incase i missed something with this post i sadly can't collect the item if it was won as i still have no transport...Best try the other Foggers fella

[RatCav]

Thanks lads ... it eventually went for silly money so I bowed out while the going was good. I will keep the hunt going for another.

Hi Neal was it that particular T28 Garret Turbo you wanted or would one of a 300ZX do.

[RatCav]

Any 300 ZX will do, but if a twin turbo I need the one off the passenger side.

Basically it goes like this:

1984-1986 Z31 300ZX Single Garrett T3 turbo
1987-1988 Z31 300ZX Single Garrett T25 Turbo (mine)
1989+ Z32 300ZX Twin Garrett T25 turbos

Essentially I am upping the power of mine by a boost increase and the best method is to use a T28 as found on later 2.0 200SX's and Pulsar turbo's.

A T25 will suffice but it limits my eventual power plans. In all honesty at the moment I will accept anything to get her on the road again so happy to settle for a T25

[alsavs]

I have asked my son to see if he can get hold of any he said he might be able to get hold of a couple of the 300ZX's but not off the 200's. He used to tinker about with the skylines too so has a couple of contacts.
