  1. I used this on my 33
  2. Budget for a gearbox that will hold that power if you plan on using that power
  3. Cheers Sadly RaceTCS has no harness I've just ebayed a 7 meter length of CAT 6a for the ABS and 10 meters of 10 core RVV for the injectors, I'll strip it back and make up a harness, I also ebayed some Deutsch 2 way connectors to intercept the neutral I spent yesterday looking at electronic stores and stuff, buying 8 different coloured wires was an impossible feat, and they only had 7 core RVV I went overboard with the 10 core and CAT wire, but I want to use the same colour wire for each intercept, the routing is about 2.5 meters one way, so 5 meters may have worked, but that didn't leave alot of options for routing the harness With 10 meters of 10 core and 6 meters of CAT6a I could fit the box in the boot if I wanted, which I don't, but I could My only concern is tapping into the correct ABS line, I may get someone with more skills than me to find which one is which, the rest of the wiring and harness making, is a cake walk I would hate to think what a shop would charge to do the wiring It's a waiting game now though as I needed to get the 10 core from China, and if it coming by sea I believe I may be in for a long wait
  4. Option 3. 10 meters of 10 core 0.75mm RVV
  5. Can you shoot me some info about how you wired it into the injectors and abs My plan is some stranded CAT6 twisted and sheilded for the ABS How did you/what did you use, to connect into the ABS/injector wiring? Crimps/solder??? Chewing gum??? For the injectors Option 1: I'm either going to get 9 different coloured 0.75mm stranded wire for the 8 injectors and 1 earths, then make up a harness with corrugated conduit and heat shrink Option 2: Get 4 x 5 core 0.75 FVV, 2 x 5 core each bank for my injectors in and out (allows me to keep the same colour wire for the cylinder in and out, and the spare for the earth Any pics or recommendations would be most welcome I'm looking at option 1, but I may be missing something simple Now, where or my wiring tools that I last used 22 years ago????? Who am I kidding, Jaycar here I come
  6. You need to engage, and pay for, an engineer first, there's a list of authorised one on the RMS website if you in NSW He will inspect the car and then tell you what you need to be compliant, once you address everything he can get it singed off In truth an engineer should be sought prior to any work to avoid the requirement to redo stuff that wasn't done to spec Engineering a car can get costly
  7. Yes, you can turn it off and rip skids....in Mehiko Or for heating up tyres at the drags Have a google, apparently you can fit sensors to anything really, cost to fit said sensors is ????????
  8. Stupid US dollar My impulsiveness kicked me in the balls with the current exchange rate, and shipping was exxy for what it was at $107US Meh, as the cool kids say "Yolo, sent it, hold my beer" or something like that
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Looks like the old race logics one Pretty cheap, which sort of worries me I wonder who can wire this puppy up for me?
  12. Cool, my info must be off, the guy I was talking to was pretty confident and says he is tight with the owner
  13. 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
  14. Want torque management Like dis > Haltech also sold to Holley today for all of the money's Another Aussie brand gone offshore
  15. Got some video of a run or 2, purely for my enjoyment pleasure
  16. Nice, I do like the classic stuff in the background
  17. You seem to like them from all your posts about them, do you own one?
  18. What they use for manifolds is carbon steel
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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.....
  22. 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
  23. 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
