Well if you knew how to read you would understand. Youre only reading what you want to read. This guy wants a cheap job. Why recommended Micolour who are a top notch shop who do 6k+ resprays? Thats just stupid and you are in no way helping this guy. Contact Patti Panels. Theyre in Campbellfield. They should be able to do a job for close to your budget, and please let us know how you go.

Just out of curiosity wondering why you chose this turbo over your previous Hi-flow when they are both capable of making your target power figure of 230?

Does the clutch hold on under power? You may need to make a longer pushrod for the slave. Do that and take as much play out of the pedal as possible.

Hmm seems like this isnt going to go ahead. Oh well. FYI These gears are also available from GKTECH, they are good quality and reasonably priced. Installed and tuned a set the other day. Good gears.

What do you need to testdrive a car for? All you need to know is skylines handle really good, and when you put the foot down in a NA, not much happens. Just testdrive the car you actually want to buy to make sure its all good etc etc.

I laugh at the fact that people recommended Micolour even though this guy is asking for a backyard job...all you get a grip. Theres more shops around than just Micolour. You need to ask around...find a mate or someone who is an apprentice painter that will spray the car for you for some extra cash. 1000 is close to possible if you know the right people. Get your mates girlfriends cousins brothers mate to do it. Dont expect the best result though. Go for a drive around springvale or dandenong, there will be someone around willing to do a quick job for around that price, its been done before.

The prices seem to be fairly right. The only reason why this thing hasnt gone to plan is because the mechanic underquoted, which is mostly his fault, probably lack of experience with these things, BUT sometimes things go wrong and take way longer to do. Modify Manifold: He wouldnt have quoted for this at all. Things like that bump up the price. Stupid little things that take hours. It seems his knowledge is poor as he thinks a 040 can handle 370kw, and that the PFC isnt up to the task, which it certainly is. 550 injectors are definetly cutting it close fuel wise too. He is right to suggest ~700 injectors, but you would expect that he would have known this before even starting. No point saying 'it only made 310' because the supporting mods arent there...yet. It will make the power in due time. Dues this mechanic work on skylines all the time, more to the point highly modified examples? Sounds like a V8 mechanic trying to work on Skylines scenario.

Are the Sydneykid Bilsteins valved for street or for track? What are the differences between R32 and R33GTR Shocks? I notice the rear lower mount looks wider, are there any other differences? Are they Sydneykids Eibach springs?

No, thats what it pulled. Spiked to 11 then bled down to 10 up top, like I said, no boost controller, just straight hose from intercooler to actuator. And no, the intake sensor was not hanging near the exhaust manifold! Anyways....get the tune done and let us know how you go, I would expect youll be impressed with the end result.

HKS 2530. Its a very responsive turbo out of the box, will spool early like you want it to, and has a fair bit of headroom if you find you dont have enough power (guaranteed you will get over it), you can make up to 230kw with this turbo earlier on in the rev range, which is great for around town and will give you some awesome corner exit speeds around the track. With Tomei 260 cams, adjustable cam gears, 20psi boost, GTR injectors and PowerFC, we made 230kw at 6,000rpm. After that the power dropped off considerably but its was a manace on the street! Amazing mid-range torque! Id also think you would be able to find one of these turbos for around 1500 second hand, youd be stupid to pay anywhere near 3k for this turbo!

BAHAHAHA!!!!! That is farking hilarious!!! The cop shop is 20m from there!!!! Good job whoever did it. Managed to score the frontbar as well. LOL!

HAHA yeah no shit... Will give the box hill place a call if it cant be fixed. Cheers mate.

Ive been to court as well for sliding me ute in the wet one night lol, got off easy and I had to attend the "trauma" thing as well, its really quite pointless, thinking back now they made us write down 5 things we would do to imrpove our driving and/or attitude on the road, they were meant to mail it back to us 3 months later so see if we had been doing it...I never got it sent to me!! Very efficient program me thinks!

Might have to stop chirping second so I dont attract this unwanted attention again.

yes and yes.

Not sure on the exact difference apart from the fact that its older. You can upgrade the V3 to V4 software AFAIK, and you can have a plug n play loom made up for around 200. Thats what it was going to cost to have it wired for a CA 180SX when we enquired.

MEH I dont give a crap about the bird, its my raditor I cut about lol. He looked young so I doubt he had a chance to make babies. Plenty of other birds in the sky haha. Thats what happens when you hoon around in the air, you put yourself and others at risk.

So one night I stop to pour some petrol, have a bit of a chat, come back to the car to see a small river of red stuff coming out from underneath the car...(I have red coolant) I find my Koyo radiator is leaking from the middle of the core! No sign of damage from the inside (not running factory fan). It was only a slow leak so I fill up the water and drive home. Sunday I pull the radiator out to see if I can get it repaired (not looking good), and I find a freaking dead bird sitting in between my radiator and electric fans! Must of gone swish through the N1 vent, through the fan and hit the radiator and then tried to PECK his way out! Dammit! LOL

So how would you get a 300kw car to read 400kw then? (just curious)

R33 < R32 > R34

What increased boost? You should be seeing around 11.5 at the top end with your mods and a healthy EFI system, so yes its quite lean. I would guage it as unsafe. Could be your fuel pump as stated, could even have dirty injectors or busted fuel reg (reg unlikely). You need to monitor fuel pressure while doing a dyno run as a start.
