PM-R33

They stole your strut brace?!?! Jesus, thats getting a bit too keen on their behalf.

A W427 came to work the other day, so had a good look at it. First one in Townsville from what im aware. Dude said he paid $170k for it! F**k that! Honestly i don't see where the extra money is over a VE GTS. The bigger brakes, bigger engine and the few other tweeks here and there are not worth an extra 90k.

Bit of both lol.

Yeah but he said he loved the Monaro at the same time aswell Said it was a great non-nonsense rear wheel drive platform. Can't remember what episode it was, but they pretty much spent the whole time drifting it around the track and then tested it against the supercharged Jaguar and i cant remember what the other car was....an american car of some sort maybe? I dunno, can't remember.

Nah lol. I finish uni exams in a few weeks and start working more hours during the holidays so gonna take the head off and do some work to the car, havn't really done much to it lately. Got the gasket kit, valve springs, arp head studs etc, just need to get some poncams. Wondering whether to bite the bullet and just fork out the ridiculous price for all the parts these days...

mmjc, guessing you have a 34 GTT from your profile, therefore these injectors won't fit your NEO RB25. Nismo only make 480cc injectors for the NEO.

I havnt been able to order my Poncams cause they have gone from like $799 to $1300

T3 flange, not sure what the exact specs are exhaust housing and compressor housing wise on the stock turbo. Same size wise there isnt too much available, but then again if you are spending the money wouldn't you rather get something a decent size bigger? Your call. Closest thing a little bit bigger is something like a 2530 or similar, just go something in a T28 series range if you want the same response as the stock turbo but atleast you'll have a bit more head room.

U heard much about their work? Might look into this, so much better to do it on an exhange basis when you can't afford to have your car off the road for a long period of time.

Thats a great link and not bad prices either!

Yeah, doesn't boostcruising do that? *i dont use boostcruising, my mate was selling a car on there, only reason i know this lol*

But the GTR is speed limited to 180km/h aswell. Both cars can reach way above this with the limiter removed. Top speed of a vehicle is determined by the top rpm the engine can reach or is rev limited at multiplied by the gearing ratio in the top gear of the car (5 speed/6 speed), then multiplied by the final gear ratio in the diff (3.73:1, 4.11:1, etc). This gives a hypothetical top speed of the vehicle, however the vehicle then needs the power behind it to over come the force from the air pushing against it trying to slow it down. Hence why the Veyron and other cars need so much power behind them to reach over 400km/h. Looking at this, you can see that most vehicles can reach quite a high speed, especially ones with tall gear ratios and a lot of power, therefore the only logical thing to do is limit them to a certain speed electronically to stop people pushing the car to its top speed when the rest of the car (tyres/brakes/aerodynamics/supsension/cooling) aren't designed to withstand that high speed and strain on the vehicle.

Correct, he said it on the Super Car Special (The one where he keeps pouring all sorts of alcohol into a big cup to describe the Lamborghini and how they keep adding more power hahahaha). Said the mercedes would need 300km/h tyres, 300km/h brakes, 300km/h suspension etc etc and that would make the car so much more expensive, therefore they speed limit it so they don't need to build it for such a high speed. Makes a lot of sense when you think of it from an Engineering point of view when you have to build a car to a certain budget.

$700 for the 430 + dump pipe + spacer is a pretty good price however. What's he charging you for labour? Be warned, the car will run like a bit of a dog on the stock ECU and the KKR430.

Wow! I didnt know about the store getting hit by gunfire. That the main reason they moved to Dubai? Thats where they went isn't it?

Yeah i know, i was corrected earlier. Didn't realise all of those weird combinations were actually made.

Under a grand doesnt leave you much of an option other then getting yours highflowed or buying a KKR (unless you find something second hand). Most garret bolt on options will set you back anywhere from $1500-$2000 depending on who you buy from and what size you go, 2871R, 3037, 3071R etc. What else is done to the car? Basics covered? Cooler, exhuast, ECU, pump etc...

What turbo?

F***d ringlands around the entire piston actually, good old detonation for ya.

+1 Lots of threads lately regarding S2 headlight options of some sort, so the interest is definetely there.

Looking forward to see what you make man.

Yes it will, along the lines of: "Will offer head if you make my car go pshhh-tu-tu-tuuuu-tuuuu....." as every second post in the Forced Induction forum. lol.

You gotta admit though, 99% of people wouldn't know that a RB20 came out in a R34, that you can get a carby CA18 in a R32 and a SOHC RB20 in a R33. I told a couple of mates about it tonight and they didn't believe it until we did some searching on google. Good thread though, learn something new every day On another note, god u'd be pissed if you bought a R34 without checking under the bonnet and found a RB20 lol. Surely the rb20 wouldn't have much power down low to move a fairly heavy R34 (compared to a R32) that well.

There was a thread on an extrude honed RB25 stock exhuast manifold and no real gains were recorded. Most likely the money can be better spent elsewhere.

Umm obviously...
