They don't care, when I asked them about modifications on the phone, the answer was if you want to do a twin turbo LS, that's fine. The only catch is, if your modifications where responsible for your accident, they would not pay out. Eg. You modified the brake system and it failed to stop the car, you drove with slick tyres in the wet. Etc. Your car will be fine. Give them a call and discuss your situation. They insured my car with a list of 30+ mods and agreed to the value i asked for without drama. Now, how good they will be when it comes to actually making a claim I can't answer. Some input from someone who has made a claim would be great.

Chicken?

Maybe its an ultra low reading dyno, either that or something is seriously holding it back. An Atr45sat should be easily over 300rwkw on e85 even on 16psi. A member on here had that turbo on a 33 and it made 290rwkw on 98, around 18psi on jem's dyno. My own car has a HG 21u high flow. Made 260 rwkw on 98 18psi and 312 rwkw on e85 19psi and that's way smaller than an Atr45sat. Stock manifold, internal gate, return flow cooler, holds boost pretty good up top and iat is pretty good. Figures are on a hub dyno. Car has done at least 25 track days over the last few years, stock engine has held together well, compression is still around the 160psi mark. I recently had the head off for a suspected head gasket issue that was a wrong assumption. 23 year old gasket was still in perfect condition. Obviously i replaced it since i was there with a new oem gasket, serviced the head and added arp head studs. Didn't really need any of that. I reckon 300 rwkw on e85 is a happy place for a healthy rb25. As said above look at your data and try to pinpoint anything that doesn't look right. At the end of the day, power is not the only thing that makes a car quick. Setting up the car to turn, brake, grip and have a nice useable power delivery is better than a billion kilowatts. Ive chopped cars with way more power than mine at the track and have also been chopped by cars that have way less power. Lol.

Sau has decided, sequential it is then?

What thoughts are you having?

They're not too bad at the traffic light Grand prix either. Quatro launches have surprised quite a few.

I followed in the footsteps of fatz and bought a Q7. 160k km for $12k. Tows like a boss, has air suspension that keeps it level. Going off fatz's reliability testing i should get at least another 170k out of it. Time will tell, so far up to 175k without issue and pretty happy with it.

Wait until it breaks, then you'll know for sure?

Or you could just use a private road somewhere in Mexico like the rest of us. Shh, i didn't just say that.

Actually, Mega Dan spec has a better ring to it ?

Don Dan spec. I likey.

And LS1 or LSA if baller.

Edward Lee's

Very nice, top notch workmanship ?

Don't know about that kit specifically but after buying a 2nd hand box, rebuild kit and labour costs, it may not make economical sense considering new gearboxes are around 3000 - 3500 aud. There is also a lot of parts in a 2nd hand box that may be worn and not incuded in that rebuild kit either. Unless you know what you're doing and rebuilding it yourself, probably not worth the hassle and uncertainty.

Well, they are just a more modern Datsun.

So, samsonas?

Yes, it 'may' fit.

In my experience, the answer to these types of concerns is always twin turbo LS1 2 or 3. You'll learn your new car very quickly in the above configuration.

FYP

Going out and chopping some M2/3/4's will make you feel better.

Doesn't look too bad. Stress to your insurer that you would prefer repair. Otherwise try to strike a deal to purchase back and repair privately. Hope it all works out good for you.

This one is NASA big spec

Please do and post video. I really like straight pipes out through the bonnet. Looks and sounds tough as.
