  1. No more mods, car is done, etc. So turns out my tiny AF lift pump is still moving enough fuel to pressurise my surge tank and even the fuel rail when both surge pumps are off. I'm getting about 0.55bar of fuel pressure at the rail with the surge pumps off and only the lift pump running. This means that the OEM venturi/siphon is causing a massive restriction, enough to build that pressure. I've been told it's not too much to be worried about, however the inner efficient Asian that I am says no! Pressurisation of the surge tank & running the lift pump harder does three things: degrades the surge pumps quicker more load on the electrical system as the surge works harder by product of the above, more heat is generated (possibly point 4) more heat generated means all 3x pumps swim in a warmer fuel soup and degrade faster So yeah, at some stage I will need to remove that stupid fuel tank lid/hat/cover whatever the fk you want to call it and pop off the OEM venturi/siphon and pop this one on - pretty straight forward really, just massive CBF as I will smell like shit and inhale heaps of petrol in the process.
  2. Club Sprint should be: Street registered Factory ABS only Factory style gearboxes, no sequentials, no DCT/ZF swaps A/C working Road legal tyres Full interior No sound deadening allowed to be removed lol... No modified suspension pickup points That would make it a bit more fair.
  3. That's good, so budget friendly (ish) tyre. Might try something like that next year (hopefully) when I hit the track again.
  4. How do you find the Nankang CR-S tyres? If you were to rank all the tyres, where would it sit in say this list: Yokohama A050 Yokohama A052 Yokohama AD08 or AD09 Hankook Z221 Hankook Z232 aka RS-4 Nankang AR-1 Nitto NT01
  5. These are probably the worst photos lol. Engine bay was ripping hot when I remembered to take it. I'll try get better ones soon.
  6. SP Mufflers (they bought all the tooling and IP off SMB).
  7. It's kind of funny the mod of the month is sound deadening lol @R3N3 😎
  8. They say copying one person is plagiarism, copying many is research and development. So if we look at most 90s shit boxes that are owned by people over the age of 30, generally they would have or in the process of sound deadening to make their cars less shit by increasing the comfort levels.
  9. I'll take a photo of mine soon, there's enough clearance to run a Nitto head drain and the hard NEO water lines
  10. Offer is still there, buy my KAAZ 2 way and it comes with a full working R33 attached to it. $40k USD and call it a deal 😎
  11. The whine does sound a bit concerning, hopefully it's normal for the speedtek gears
  12. Imagine they put a twin scroll, single turbo onto the GT-R. (Waits for all the Muricannnns to say twin turbos are better and that putting on 3" exhaust systems for back pressure adds response).
  13. They did ok, when compared to Toyota. Ever seen a Chaser? Btw.. my sound deadening efforts was worth it. Cabin noise has dropped, once I do the front doors and the roof lining it's going to be 0.01% less shit overall.
  14. Sound deadening some more, repaired the OEM mat between the rear seat and boot, covered its mum in sound deadening too. New Maxi Cosi Titan Pro seat in too, got it for $299 on sale with 2% cash back via Cash Rewards. Brings it down to $293!
  15. The 20s ride ok, just not with the Continental Contact Sport 5 it comes with. I've replaced them with Pirelli Scorpion Verde and it rides much better, albeit lost cornering grip and straight line traction. I can blaze the front tyre(s) when I mash the pedal before the Haldex kicks in.
  16. Lol so have 2x SUVs at home? I doubt the Tiguan R would perform well at SMSP 😂
  17. Just swap it out anyway
  18. Maxton Designs do small lips and stuff that might suit your aesthetic needs. Not sure if you got the PFL or FL MK2, just have a look here: https://www.ausbodyworks.com.au/collections/tiguan
  19. Is your front timing cover back on? If not I hope you've spaced out the CAS. Is your CAS still in good condition?
  20. Modernisation of Shit Box Part 839231. Since the rear trim was pulled off to run the reverse cam, new RCAs, tidying of wires and shit, I decided to sound deaden the rear quarters. As you know, these shit boxes have 0 sound deadening on the rear panels, not even a simple oddly shaped pad to absorb any kind of vibration! Bought some cheap eBay crap to do both the outer and inner skins. This should greatly reduce road noise, unpleasant noises made by the car externally, etc. Not the best job, however you can't see it and the trim will be reinstalled after re-tinting is done. Will be removing the rubbish 2000s super dark tint that has gone purple and going for a more legal tint, also means I can see when I'm at SMSP at night lol.
