  1. Looks liek an S14 dash. Great work! Strippers look about as good at washing cars as junkies windscreens in Melbourne
  2. I have been trying to tell folk here that if you are running E85 than the -7s will make more power. The smaller, later model -9 compressor seems to do the same job with a smidgen better response on 98-100. But generally when bolted to an engine and I have observed the difference is usually in the tune, health of engine and quality of bolt ons....not a night and day difference due one or the other turbo. ON 98-100 On E85 they seem to make a bit more power when you wind the extra psi in where as the -9s hit a wall sooner. I guess its to do with E85 masking as few little things and ultimately the little bit of extra flow that is in the different trim/aero compressoris realied with the -7s. I have seen far more 340-360 rwkws results with -7s then I have on -9s and generally 330-350rwkws with E85 One thing i think I can safely say is I have never seen -7s that are more responsive than -9s. I am curious to know how this has come to be summised as a reliable rule of thumb. Not to say its not true, I am just kicking around my experience, most reliable being two identical R34 N1 engines with the same Jap workshop ported head, same cams and near identical pipes etc and -7s and -9s with the same Sydney tuner. The trend observed with those cars is generally what I see play out with other setups. Too many supposed N1s arent N1s and people then equate N1s to being -7s yadda yadda yadda Either way bang on 350awkws is a stout-one of the better result for a -9 setup!
  3. Well just confimed the turbo for the Cossie them 7670 is probably too big Hanog on ...is this Pete?
  4. Careful...you will break down on the last lap of a race like Toyota at Le Mans when you use Wiggins clamps Looks neat. A friend who has owned a few ex Gibson cars say that over time they can vibrate open so not a bad idea to just put a cable tie around them. Seems odd but i am not going to argue as mine are all hidden by diffuser etc and not accessible and be a head fark if they ever opened.
  5. Baby steps doing dome work a few nights this week. Got thre front end all back together with Nismo inner upper mount. Alloy hubs, modded Ikeya LCA, Noltec upper arm and all new king pin bearings and wheel bearings. New RCA tie rod ends. In the rear got the new diff gusseted cradle all dummy fitted with Nismo inner pick up braces all dummy fitted. So over weekend will grease up all the bushes and get that all bolted home too
  6. Well...i needed to clean them up to post them so gave them a quick hose. As can be seen they are in good nic...if you are really anal a light polish will have them looking like new Happy to post
  7. Any particular reason why you booted the HKS manifold?
  8. Near new conditon stainless steel exhaust. Has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust for a while. Font pipes are 65mm into 80mm exhaust. Was going to keep this for rego purposes before doing custom but bugger it...will worry about a street exhaust if I run into noise issues with my custom twin system. $450 from the MX front pipes. Sorry about the pics showing dust and crud. If i need to I will give them a wipe down so that you can see the excellent, low km condition
  9. Always wanted an LJ. Strangely I am more a 6 cylinder guy than V8s. I was really trying to get my brother to buy one but I ended up getting him an SS Chevelle out of the US. Mega cruiser but LJ would have been a more entertaining drive
  10. At Monaco it was a little embarassing that the sound of the GP2s off the city was miles better than the F1s
  11. Mint looking Torana. Any pics of the VCT feed?
  12. Point he is easily good enough to get the job done if Lewis doesnt fire on a particular weekend. Between the two of them even if they didnt have a good car advantage you would imagine they woudl still be qualifying well and racing well and taking solid points haul I am surprised to say I feel a little sorry for the Russian....he is absolutely gutted and lost at the moment. Bring back Petrov
  13. So thats a 0.82 on a 2L Evo? Thanks for posting. I am simply going on the single example I have seen in person and then reading various sites, and as per that link i posted some pretty detailed testing vs the 3076. I am asking questions here more than making statements. And yes transient response is ace...but I am a poor bastard and whilst I would love to have all the power and response in the world...my budget means I need to compromise somwhere...to invest what is about 4.5k in a 7670 installed on my car....well I need to really warm to the idea if it going to make the same power as what just came off
  14. 87mm bore, 9:1 comp, Kelford 272x9.33 cams, OS valves. What manifolds is the lil RB25 running? Its the T4 TS 1.05 housing?
  15. Ahh....I had missed those posts. Will go digging for it . Thanks!!!!
  16. Also found these in the bottom of a box and forgot I had them. I run 343mm rotors rather than the 340mm these were intended for when used with the Biot 340 rotor and Brembo F40/F50 caliper. About the biggest rotor / caliper arrangement you can get under most 17" wheels ( I run TE37s with no clearance problems) There are several cheap Brembo F40/F50 setups for sale on SAU at the moment so will help you get a good setup for reasonable dollars Off this kit http://www.biot.co.jp/products/biot/caliper/f50-4pot/ http://www.biot.co.jp/products/biot/caliper/f50-4pot/brembo-f50-4pot-340/ http://www.biot.co.jp/products/biot/rotor/front/ Asking $300 delivered for them Ther ppls posts on suitable calipers being for sale
  17. So I old all my 2.4L Tomei pistons and Procams a while ago and have these still laying around. Tomei Part No. 163006 (16108x24) All in vacuum sealed bags so no issue of any corrosion or damage since their removal http://www.tomeiusa.com/_2003web-catalogue/e097_v-lifter.html Happy with $300 for them delivered
  18. Couldn't tell you. I bought them several laptops ago and emails, and details are long gone. If you have any means of telling them apart I am happy to check
  19. Yeh, there are some Evo 8 thru 10 results that tempt me..but bascally its 3076 response and power with better transient response. Which is ....wishy washy stuff. Tempted to just go 7163 and give it a gut full and at least habe it all in...but that is wooftah 427ci cave man stuff. Its a turbo car....it shoudl be about soaring top end
