The Bogan

Got any recommendations on trackers mate? I was looking at something at Supercheap for $300, and then I assume it's a phone plan thingie?? Cheers

Have you checked your dash vs GPS The up to -10% thing is a factor for error that the manufacturer factors in They are not allowed to have a speedo reading of 100 kph, but actual speed of 101 kph So the error is -0% + 10% I believe I believe this takes into consideration variations of tyre sizes with different models, and tyre wear

Excellent result

"If you cannot afford to buy 2 GTR's, you cannot afford to modify 1 GTR" ...I think #Pigazz threw those wise words out 15 odd years ago, when GTR's were worth $15-20k

The old girl is just about to hit 140k km, so near on 25k km since I got it in April 2020 And whilst the initial plan was to only keep it till I found something better, it has grown on me, to the point of I cannot see myself selling it Even Jackie has come around and enjoys going on long country drives, although she does sleep through alot of the driving, it's just like cruising on a comfy lounge chair I am truly owning the bogan V8 cruise ship lifestyle

Nope Need height for gutter jumping

Stuck the suspension in 4wd gasser mode go on Guard to center of hub Front 365 Rear 355 Clears all the speed humps around work, no scrapping on the driveway at the girls Dampening set to 10 clicks from full hard, may soften it up a bit more though Car needs s wash bad

Slightly less bogan without the reverse cowl Paint match of the bonnet and front bar by Fineline is spot on, again Also sold the old bonnet with the cowl pretty much straight away, which was nice, as it triggered me every time I looked at it in the shed In other news: lowering the engine to fit the spacers looks like a combination of lowering the engine mounts by 5mm and the K-frame by 5mm, this will give me all the clearances required and not screw with rhe steering geometry Well, that's the plan

New suspension arrived Just need time to fit, maybe this weekend, maybe next Made in the Republic of China, otherwise known as Taiwan, so you know is good

Do it, what could possibly go wrong Luckly you didn't pay for the car that is going to get hacked up and ruined Well, not actually ruined if your a 15 year old boy going for other 15 year old boys instalikes, oh, and also not worried about resale Meh Just do it

As a wise man once said, "use ya brain" People have given their view as you asked them to, you cannot ask the same question and expect different answers, what you had planned was a poorly though out idea, even before talking about it being a scam But hey, your 15, so you'll be sweet

No

My commodore LS1 has a stage 1 cam, my RB25 had a stage 2 cam, I believe the Ford Coyote engine has a stage 4 cam, or was that the total amount of cams an engine has???? Sorry I blame marketing and the youth of today for their "stage" builds You really need to know the cam specs for your application, a turbo cam should have different specs to a NA or Supercharged cam, as well as what you use the car for, is it a race car that will live at high rpm, or a street car that requires manners down low, big turbo or small turbo, what gears you run can come onto the equation as well Incorrect cam choice based of "stages" sounds like a recipe for disaster There are some knowledgeable people here, "I'm NOT one of them", but in the end I would talk to a "reputable" engine builder with your requirements and make your cam choice based of actual induction type, vehicles usage and all the other technical magic that can actually help, not picking a "stage" cam based of a random person on the interwebs recommendation https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.motortrend.com/how-to/how-to-pick-the-right-camshaft/amp/ Have fun, have a plan, have a budget (and then double your budget)

It's like asking the history of your girlfriend or wife, sometimes not knowing is better

https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-12v-6-amp-7-stage-battery-charger/544705.html?cgid=SCA01060203#start=7 The catch phrase is: Zero Volt start-up, enabling recovery and charging of a completely discharged battery

My 5 amp Ctek won't bring back a dead flat battery, my 6 amp supercheap one does though I only use the Ctek as a tender for my bike I deal with alot of flat plant and truck batteries at work, whilst cheap, the super cheap auto brand one work well I've had one getting bashed around at work for years reviving plant and truck batteries that weren't isolated and which have sat around for months unused but still connected

Possibly the 1st time you lay into it, possibly the 50th time Anyone can make big power bolting a turbo on a car, making it reliable is the hard, and expensive part If you don't have $20-30k to drop on the engine and drivetrain then just do a nice NA build If you want a fast car, buy one that someone has already spent the money on making it fast and reliable

Yes you can Yes you should Keep the single cam for "historical" reasons (twin cam heads go foe drug money) There is a bazillion things for sale on the interwebs to help you do it Talk to the person who is building the engine for what you need Finding a transmission that will survive could be a costly hit to your budget (anything RB is going for drug money) Thread needs pics

The car is a great place to be in cruising along, inside the cabin you can barely hear the growl of the engine

Hwy fuel economy, basically cruise control set at 100- 110kph for 99% of the trip Holsworthy - Goulburn - Canberra- Goulburn- Holsworthy = Averaged out at 9.5L/100 Km No drags last night because of rain In orher news: My thermal spacers and blanket arrived yesterday and my lowered tuff mounts arrived today 😀

I hope so, LOL 😆

Lowered engine mounts are on their way So with the bonnet frame clearanced and the lowered mounts (13mm lower than stock) but with a 5mm spacer so the headers clear the K Frame, I'll have heaps of room under the bonnet for the thermal spacers and underbonnet insulation without have speed holes in the bonnet In other news I recovered my Harley seat with some marine grade vinyl after thinking that tying on a steel tool box to it to take some tools over to a mates house was a good idea, it wasn't and the seat ended up with a big tear It wouldn't win any prizes but at least it doesn't have a hole anymore

If it wasn't for all the non-skyline, non-rb flavoured stuff there wouldn't be alot to read here Still love a good GTR or GTS-T though Don't see many used in anger anymore though, I would be refraining from bending or breaking them myself I keep hearing the stories of people hunting for blocks or heads and either unable to find one within a budget, or the parts they get are rubbish Meh, I'll buy a R32 GTR when I win lotto, until then, I'll not read about then hitting the dyno

Thread needs more LS1's 🤪
