The Bogan

Googling the 400R has them above on sites like Wikipedia and some other initial review sites Meh, don't care, cannot afford

WTF is it with that, the pin striping and flairs I mean?????

You "may" be able to register a late model RB engine into a 350GT, last R34 was 2002, 350GT from 2002 ????, so maybe, but why, there is much newer, better, lighter and cheaper bang for buck stuff out now LS3 You will need to engage an engineer first before even starting, no point in doing it if the engineer won't sign off on the "swap kit" or mods you want Want different, throw in one of those new 5.2 BOSS engines in from the Mustang, those things sound wicked

Gave the engine some new HPR 10 and filter And, ohhh noooss, the blower is just touching the bonnet liner thingie Time will tell what cunning plans will ensue, probably somethong like the carbuilder deadener that is under it, just a bit thinner, maybe In other news, car is awesomeballs

The transmission tune is all sorted I think I want to put a gilmer rear drive on the back of the blower to make it even more whiney and annoying, speaking of annoying...... Funny story, I was waiting for the Mrs to pick up some takeaway, she overheard a couple outside the shop complaining to their friends about the noisy car in the carpark, she heard the friends say,"WTF, that thing sounds hot, not everyone wants a POS car like yours" It's the little things that make you smile, and annoying people, I always smile when I annoy people Sorry, no skid vids

If you use a steamer window tint just peels off easy The hot steam just melts the glue and off the tint comes I removed 20 year old tint recently and with the steamer it took me no longer than 1 hour Good quality window tint would be a no brainer, the tint doesn't even need to be dark Are you really going to climb in and out of the back seat everytime you park the car?

Yeah, 20 year old cars suck Hey, wait.......

The most important thing when working on cars is safety Have a plan Have a budget Remember to enjoy yourself, stuff will not always go as planned Start a build thread, it helps to keep track of things, and gives me something to read

Is that on an 'merican dyno? And yes, every engine bay needs a sewing machine, I mean a LS1

Is it smokey Turbo seals?, blocked PCV? What does your intake pipe and IC look like I accidentally kinked a PCV hose once and it pushed ALOT of oil, was really smokey though

As all the cool kids apparently say "SEND IT" ...."it's not mine" My bag of donuts is on a bearing spinning at high rpm from oil loss, or, the rod going at low rpm from torque Take video either way

Bloody rain, you cannot really road tune a transmission when there is an inch of water on the road... Next week

The market is good for selling the 33

Because posting random mad skids on the interwebs has never ended badly for said skidder..... When I hit the drags I'll attempt to get one of the kids to take a vid

LOL, sorry, for the confusion I have added all my vehicular Bogan news into this thread The slammer kit drops the whole bike about 1.5" and firms up the suspension Plus the OEM stuff is shite, this is "apparently" a little better

Im not a fan of slammed cars So.....

Booked in at Craigs to get the transmission tuned to suit the new powahs. From talking to a few different people, and the googles of course, not adjusting the transmission tune after power mods can be a sure-fire way to reduce transmission life. As it only costs around $500 for the transmission retune it is a no brainer to have it tuned to suit.

After a quick squirt with brake clean and some flat black rattle can action, I present......stealth mode It's still wet but you get the gist With no actual hands on prep, the fisheyes on the hoee clamps, and a few missed spots behind a bracket or hose, it is just like a Holden quality paint job...poor quality IMO it does look better than before though

And a LS Nanna would want it that way

I needed to pop back in to get the speedo calibrated, it was set to whatever the stock centre was. I called and talked to Spiro and he said pop in whenever I was available, I said I am, he said bring it on in, so I did, he also stuck it straight back on the dyno and tickled the tune a bit because he wasn't happy with the idle when off throttle. Excellent service Everything is GTG now, plus I just took the long way back to work It is nice and whiney, on the throttle, but not overly, you can only just here it in the cabin, which is nice, outside, it sounds The car cruises like a dream Coolant temps, on the stock gauge at least, hasn't changed, even when I was sitting in traffic for 10 minutes trying to get off Parramatta road As for bonnet clearance, it easily fitted and there was no need to chop up my new under bonnet liner thingie, winning.... I might paint the trans cooler black to hide it a bit

So, the dyno results hey With the blower at around 5-7 psi at it, it got to 317kwatw and about 950nm... So a gain of about 47kwatw, but a extra 500nm of gearbox destroying, rubber laying torque From talking to the tuner though the final kw number and shape of the curves can be taken with a grain of salt because of the highstall slipping, and stuff....... yadda yadda yadda......meh........it's all black magic to me On the road, it's a freight train, I could only give it a little hit, but the before and after difference is, well, big My next thing to do is revisit Craig's Automatics to adjust the autos tune, so it locks up a bit sooner, "or something" then hit the strip to see what it really does in anger Overall, on day 1, I'm happy and haven't broken anything, yet, well, apart from traction

Yeah, it seems to be a recurring theme

So far so good, should see dyno today and ready for pickup tomorrow Much excite

Add grout for reliable 1000hp tiles

Just dropped off the car to Autotech I have all the excitements
