The exhaust was worth doing the other two mods are debatable...well actually an unsheilded pod is a step backwards in power for sure. Hopefully the car is actually quicker for you and you are enjoying it.

Iridiums are for people who light cigars with $100 notes. A waste of good money even on very high powered cars a set of correctly matched and gapped copper plugs are no problem, so why the hell are you still buying them guys? NGK coppers. Inexpensive, reliable and work a treat.

The GPS speed limit restriction doesn't help the GTR on this one. The Z06 has the power to weight ratio to outgun the GTR in a run for the money in a 1/4 mile race environment . The Z06 is a hell of a car and deserves respect given it's able to go blow for blow with the GTR in a straight line , around corners and like the GTR kill cars double or more the price. People should stop being fanboi GTR haters of the corvette I would love to own one if given the chance.

fnf is the new police academy. Actually it's seeks new lows through technological advances in retardedness.

First car a long time ago; 1974 RX4 coupe with the 13B 4 spd (when good examples were cheap). Fast car additcion started. Ruined for life.

I can't wait till one day we are all forced to run this sort of stuff running on alcohol? yes please!

the gtst can be competitive on a tight budget however if you can afford to own and run the GTR, it will always give you more overall as a package that is always a better road going friend for half the year (winter). If you have the 'choice' the GTR is much nicer to drive every day, nothing wrong with the gtst variants however if you can't quite afford one.

nissan do the 5.4L V8 as well.

theres the problem then.

yep they don't do that well at all. Having owed a few beefed up Rx's thats a rather big problem. Throw some wet at it and the rx7 would be nicely landed in one of the many trees on the side of the road Maybe make it 4wd? The point of the touge is to win and at least in this case the rx7 did that...well sort of.

RB20/25 AFM's work too.

Owned a few of each type and the GTR is very clearly faster end of story.

There's nothing in it between them . You had the Rx7 only win the races it lead starts and for the GTR the same. No clear winner at all. Go the rx7 for ending up with no hearing and no sensation in your ass. At least they proved you can listen to your favorite tune in the GTR while doing the Touge whilst recovering from hemeroids

crap looking tho' isn't it?

Since the CAS was farquared then you have to ask why. Time to take a good look at the cams and check them for straightness, cracks and correct torque on retaining bolts. If the CAS is chewed up this could be due to something amiss. Have a look at the new CAS just in case there are some signs of metal shavings starting again. The install of these cams I reckon is best done with new cam bearing retainer bolts and absolute care on torquing, old bolts aren't quite as accurate for torquing due to stretch and can break or crack (check them all). Snapped and bent cams can happen in the process, the RB cams are fairly long making them a little more prone. While your at it checking all the individual valve clearences something funky may show up here before you get them out and help spot a problem like those above.

they aren't cheap to run on fuel. As long as you are cool with that who cares?

I had the same thing happen to me with my old gtr. I replaced the stocker with an ARE unit. same size basically but, improved flow. www.are.com.au

without an air filter you stand 100% better chance of rooting the AFM. Don't drive around without one, it's very silly. To top off the fact that the 'dose pipe' isn't nice to the turbo you are letting it suck in dirt too.

The factory ecu is not getting the recycled air from the bov on decelleration, so you get overfueling. Can cause stalling and other issues. Sounds like removing the factory BOV hasn't been a good move for you so far. I'm sure you don't hate your car but, not running an air filter on top of everything else isn't good for things.

the arc cores are something else. They have blended entry into each tube. I remember seeing some pics at somestage (see if I can find them again) The local guys ARE (www.are.com.au) make some excellent intercoolers and I know of a back to back on one with a china core make more than 80rwhp extra over a china core of the same size on a race car. They have flow designed end tanks with internal baffles. The china cores offer some good value but, they aren't equal.

Sounds like you have a vaume leak, hopefully thats all. check all the connections Including ones like the intercooler pipes. I assume you have an aftermarket ecu or something to account for the decelleration fuel values if stock ecu?

Moderators; Can we move this one to the wasteland where it belongs?

too easy dude , glad you found the issue. Now you can get that power up
