The Bogan

The cheapest way to not suck hot air, and/or get defected is the way to go Me, I wouldn't worry about anything you cannot see

Incoming purchase

Doesn't the Supra use a slushbox? The new "slushboxs" aren't the lazy old things like they once were from what I've seen, and they seem to work fine, both in performance and reliability/strength wise I am happy to be schooled on this

Looks like the old race logics one Pretty cheap, which sort of worries me I wonder who can wire this puppy up for me?

Cool, my info must be off, the guy I was talking to was pretty confident and says he is tight with the owner

One possible benefit is due to opening up to the huge US market prices might settle a bit Currently the 2500T goes for around $4500, then add in pinning it in, and tuning, and the other "supporting" stuff that it needs, it will be a costly endeavour You seem to be all over "tuning and stuff", do you have any experience with torque management???? Fom my research the Haltech torque management is awesome, and there's no point in having alot of powers if you cannot lay it down

Want torque management Like dis > Haltech also sold to Holley today for all of the money's Another Aussie brand gone offshore

Got some video of a run or 2, purely for my enjoyment pleasure

Nice, I do like the classic stuff in the background

Pics or its a Hyundai getz

You seem to like them from all your posts about them, do you own one?

What they use for manifolds is carbon steel

I had a brand name stainless exhaust manifold on my R33, it cracked, I then got a steam pipe one made up through "Unigroup Engineering" and had it ceramic coated, that survived, even after wrapping it in, um.....wrap, to minimise underbonnet temps It was a nice looking bit of kit too

Got the car back Autotech hooked me up and decided to replace my beaten up old condenser, at no cost to me, they were most apologetic about the leak, and whilst they didn't actually do the welding, or gassing, they fully owned responsibility, they prioritised the job and got the job done, and as stated I ended up with a brand new shiny condenser, which is nice The aircon actually is also markedly colder now, I actually only had it regassed and seals done about a year ago, but, the aircon now is even colder than it has ever been, and that's with the interchiller tapped in With ambient air temps at 20°c the IAT now sits under 35°c, no matter what I'm doing I flicked the little switch which isolates the cabin aircon and the IAT dropped down to 30°c I'm very happy with it now Sadly never got the R888R fitted up, that is now a next Monday or Tuesday job

Nope, lent the car to Mrs to pick up dinner Yeah, I paid for that hard She now puts the Bogan Cruise Ship in the ssme boat as the R33 GTST boat. i.e. she called the R33 a sometimes car, because sometimes it worked, she now calls the Dunnydoor a sometimes car She hates the car hard now It will take time, and gifts of shiny things, but she will come around, eventually.....

Been there, done that with my old boat I'm all about the bogan now, I would need a whole new wardrobe of clothes, JDM etiquette states you are not allowed to drive a import wearing jeans and flannel And talking about hunting, this was on the sports field at work, Oh deer, nice rack

Arrrrggggggg One of the welds for tapping in the interchiller had a pin hole The car basically was losing gas even before it hit the dyno Hence why the highest IAT on the dyno was 36°c, then 40 driving it home, then 50°c ladt night, then 68°c taking it back to the wksp at 0800 this morning Hopefully it will be fixed by close of play tomorrow, I promised my daughter a "daddy daughter day" involving a early breakfast, 10 km river walk, some gym, and finishing with a late lunch, in Goulburn, on Saturday I want the car because it is getting cold, and might be wet, yes I could, and have, gone down for such activities on the bike before, in the cold, and wet, with a bag full of stuff, but it is a royal PITA, and the older I get the more it hurts on the trip home If you see an idiot on a Harley heading down the coast in bright yellow rain gear, at dark O'Clock on Saturday morning, looking pissed off, wet, and cold, then that would be me, and the car isn't fixed

But I'm lazy and don't want to swap rims all the time, I can deal with the compromise.....I think..... The R888R will have to be better than the RS4 though, and still good enough to plod along on a hwy in the rain In the end the car is a streeter, and I'm not keen to put the wear on it that racing does to a car, I'm happy to give the car a hit or 2 to see how it goes on a sticky surface, but I want to avoid chasing 10ths, which is probably what I would do if I got drag radials, because I would be chasing a 10.99 If I can get a compromise between lots of wheel spin from the dig, and from rolling on at 60kph, to being able to hook at 60kph roll, I will be happy.......I think....for now...... I'll get the R888R's fitted tomorrow If it wasn't so bloody rainy all the time, and coming into winter, I would run drag radials At least the winters don't seem to be getting as cold as a 20 years ago Global warming has that going for it, pity global warming also means more rainfall I miss the drought....... TL;DR. Tax time is coming soon, I might get another set of Gold FR1 17x9.5 and some M/T or M&H drag radials 🤣

Finally got the car back Results Everything fits under the bonnet A little more NVH from the Tuff Mounts, but nothing that annoys me, and it is really only noticeable at idle New Walbro intank pump only, but the tank, lines, injectors and wiring harness was all cleaned and/or replaced Driving home, with the cabin aircon on, the IAT was at 40°c, before, on a hwy run, it sat on 50°c, typical traffic temps were 50-55°c When I got stuck in slow traffic for about 5 km the IAT was still at 40°c, before that it would have been at 70°c stuck in traffic After shutting down the car for about 1/2 hour the IAT was at 65°c on start up, it took less than 5 minutes to bring it back down to 40°c I'm curious about how it will go when I press the blue switch, which isolates the cabin aircon and sends to the chiller only Dyno thingie because internets I've also got some Toyo R888R 275/40 17 to fit up, because the 255/40 17 RS4 fail miserably when giving it some beens, both from the dig as well as rolling on from 60kph Will hit WSID soon, Spiro from Autotech said it just needs drag radials for a high 10, he laughed when I said I was putting on 275 R888R's to replace the RS4's, he said they won't hold and I need "real" drag radials in 275/40 17 Meh, tax time is coming up, and that is like free money

TO4Z for eva

Rebuilt with good gear and a proper respray Read the whole tread It will also be handy if your renovating your house And don't be put off by him calling it a shitbox, it is far from a shit box Shit box, boat, peice of 5hit, money pit, are all terms used by owners of modified cars.......or is thst just me

The gears in truck transmissions are huge, well they are in a R series Mack We pulled a old Mack R series box to peices years ago for a look We taught alot of people to drive in these, there was a huge amount of "cleaning the teeth in the gearbox" with the new drivers Once they work out road speed, RPM and what gear their in, with a little rev matching and mechanical sympathy they are as quite as Lots of fun taking off from a set of lights on a hill in a loaded Mack Dump with a trailer carrying a 15 ton bit of plant equipment It's like tap dancing I miss our old trucks

Samsung 11S I think I call this "car on truck" I call this one "crawling child" I call this "shot in the foot". I does have alot of "special features" to do all sorts of picture stuff, which of course I never use

I haven't owned a GTR, but if I did decide to get one, which is always possible, I would look for a car with twins in the original location Why, because I would only use it as a cruiser, and keeping it "twin turbo" would be with keeping the originality of the car I also wouldn't worry about really big power either, just enough power for the street, I would be more interested in a responsive car that pulled from idle, over something that needed alot of revs and a big launch to beat a Hyundai i30 of from the lights Stock body kit, stock wheels, stock intake, hell basically stock everything, including stock block I'm kicking myself, in the balls, hard, really hard, that I didn't get a R32 GTR a few years ago when they were cheap

Test Turkey Nope auto correct seems dead
