What sort of valving was done on the Bilsteins? Street or Track?

ummm...im in for 1 gear. Hopefully some more peeps get in on this!

Does it sound like nuts and bolts rattling around inside the engine? What petrol you using? Find a dyno operator with a standalone knock monitoring device and dyno test, for piece of mind.

Agreed. It seems 'Marko' and 'im late' are the main players getting a rebuild or upgrading their shit at the moment...a new thread for each question and each different component on their engines. Getting pretty draining.

Haha that would look funny high mounting that pissy little turbo! Waste of time.

Nothing wrong with low impedence.

A VG30 is pretty much the same thing as a R34 GTT turbo. 220-260 is a big gap. Which is it? 260 will render a large and laggier turbo. 220 could be had by a HKS2530 very easily with awesome midrange. Just see the RB20 Turbo Upgrade thread, you will find what youre looking for in there.

Youre right that really is a monstrosity!!!!

BAHAHA Swallowing wins the game LMAO

DAMMIT! Same day as 2LSS at Sandown :)

Fark me that pic is huge. Just resize in photoshop or something. By 5" I think he means 5" body, not the in/outlets.

He probably didnt do the stable idle procedure either. You can put in temp correction through the hand controller from memory, so no excuses for that. It was knocking so he reduced IGN to 15. Overall at the cas or in the map? Sounds like he just moved the cas, as removing timing from up top shouldnt make it sluggish. What cat do you have?

Dont forget to remove the manifold completely before you lift out the turbo. That way you lift up rather than out and save the oil and water lines. I have to do this soon as well

Wheres the front water outlet fitting in the manifold? Its missing? It should fit standard injectors and rail. You will need to mod your intercooler piping as well.

Yeah would be a great idea to change them all to brass to save the headaches later...

Looks nice. When my engine was built I asked the question about smoothing the inside of the block but was told microscopic filings are caught in the block surface, and will always loosen over time and get into the oil. Was recommended to put the stuff they put on electric motors to hold the wires together (terminology?) inside the block to smoothen it. I didnt bother! Looks good though! Are the welch plugs std steel or brass?

I cant see how you could possibly have better throttle repsonse with a single TB compared to six smaller ones basically bolted straight to the ports in the head? As for lean on one cylinder, most a/m plenums have the same problem anyway with distribution. Has anyone driven a SR20 Silvia then driven a GTI-R straight after? Tell me you cant notice the difference...not power wise but response. And you cant really compare a built 26 with std TBs which probably runs lower CR too. My car is slightly 'doughy' compared to a factory 26.

Nah no sex, and I think they say f**k once or twice. I reckon it was ok-to-shit, as above not enough car stuff in it, too much storyline...at least Tokyo Drift had some nice drifting scenes... I hated they way they did standstills and drifting in that 34 GTR, pretty disgraceful, and they banged it up hard! They banged up every car! How that 5 series beat it off the line I dont know... AND WHERE DID THE R35 GO? He chose it then we never saw it again?! That stupid GPS thing made it seem like they were in a video game...gay. I hated the racing in the underground tunnels...gay. The good things were that alot of the original cast were in it...especially Mia. Dom's original challenger? was good to see too. References back to number one were good too. Was more of an action movie than a car movie.

Well did you give him a bad trader rating then? Thats the best way to deter others from purchasing from him.

Haha Shotgun! SMS Sent!

Yeah...I dont know about that. I wouldnt. The collectors can warp over time, I know mine was bent like a banana when I checked it, I wouldnt risk the 2 odd hours each way for a day or so of your car being off the road... Better to keep the entire intake side in sets.

Well you want to upgrade...but what do you want? 180kw? 200? 220? 260? Midrange? Top end? Budget?

I reckon GT-SS would choke the 2.8's power potential...if I spent all that money on the 2.8 id want some decent power out of it..nothing short of 400, which would easily be achievable without excess lag given the extra displacement. -5's on my 2.6 arent even laggy really...if you man up and learn how to drive it its perfect....-5's all the way!

Bahaha you guys. You need force on the tailshaft to activate the LSD, ie like a 2way, the only way to make it openwheel is if you push the clutch in, ie no force on the tailshaft. Drop the clutch and see what happens.

Very funny Russell. Mines a standard plate from Vicroads, white and blue, I just happened to be given that particular one when I rego'd my car. Not personalised.
