  1. What are the offsets on these bad boys? I would be interested in a set 18x11.5 or 18x12.
  2. Front seats provisionally gone pending payment, sorry. Pricing for the other items is as follows: Rear seats: $300 Door cards: $350 (pair) Carpet: $100 Roof lining: $100 All other plastic trim (includes everything, all pillars, parcel shelf, etc): $300
  3. Brad, what are you using for the power steering system?
  4. Sure you will run boost... how much based on the fuel is the limiting factor.
  5. But they are not building race engines... they are producing OEM products with strict guidelines, regulations and laws. If you choose your turbocharger poorly then yes you might be outside its efficiency, not if you have a compressor map and can design the package effectively.
  6. You answered your own question... OEM's are tight quench, high compression engines for a whole bunch of reasons not directly related to big horsepower. Efficiency across the whole rev range, emissions, etc In terms of making big horsepower in a boosted application it is far from different. No quench and lower compression (lower is very subjective) and obviously high boost pressure is favoured. I can see the appeal that the OEM's go for and also what others do on here with their builds; but for 500kW throw that approach in the bin.
  7. Forget high compression if you want big boost... waste of time. The small amount of hp you will make lower off boost will not offset the amount you could make by winding the boost up further and not having any issues. Lower compression and no quench for big power and high boost.
  8. Ok fair enough... you could make them hollow too if you were ambitious; not sure on his machine capability but if you could gun drill the whole thing that would be cool. Don't know man, try them out... if you got significant head porting and a 1:1 ratio (or better) boost to exhaust manifold back pressure then go 290's. But if you are not designing the system for low turbine back pressure then forget it.
  9. There are off the shelf cams available in that size; depends on what you want to do with the engine/car.
  10. Ended up ordering the S366 with 0.91 divided rear end... need to wait a while to get the 1.00 A/R but should be able to do a back to back measuring exhaust manifold back pressure!
  11. I am going through this at the moment. Best you work with the guy porting your head to determine what would work best. If you got low turbine back pressure and a lot of porting; got with big duration and big lift.
  12. Oh shit Dahn they look freaking awesome!!! I am glad you have been getting something done while hiding
  13. What brake setup did you go with for the 380mm discs?
  14. I was told it would support 330kw without any issue. If you are set on a twin no worries, if not let me know.
  15. I have the whole airbox if you want it, including snorkel if you want it. Did you still want the intercooler? Sorry I never got back to you.
  16. How much power do you have? I have a NPC single carbotic button with billet chromoly flywheel. Done only street km... Text or call me if interested.
  17. Hi Matt, I am near the airport... can do a cashy for a bit less.
  18. The sound from that Ti exhaust would be like a "banshee"... bit corny maybe? Pics of exhaust when it is done!!!!
  19. Andy, sorry I should not have said mint. They are pretty bloody good, but they are a little stained with brake dust and as I mentioned one rim has a scratch. Worth a refurb and it will not cost me a lot for them to look brand new. I would accept a pretty close offer on the lot.
  20. Can you post the 400R bumper to 5950? Thanks.
  21. Thanks mate, is that a GTS it is being fitted to in the photo? Hence why it looks like the bumper is too wide...?
  22. Interested in the 400R front bumper for R33 GTR; if you can post up some photos that would be great. Is it fibreglass?
