The Bogan

I ate some dead bovine and fishy, t'was good. P.S., LOL at packet disintegrating within 5 minutes, as usual................... P.P.S. E85 smells so good.

NA-NB

AWD says bring it on. Sadly mods to the Rex will not commence till next Wednesday, I be rollin stocko. I will make up for it by eating lots of dead animals. Mmmmmmm, dead animals. BTW Andy, isn't the RS4 a lover of all things wet and slippery?

This is another thread that I will need to revisit in 5 to 10 years.

Buy nice R31 GTS R, apart from the R32 GTR that would be a nice Skyline to hold on to with the view of making a few bucks in the future, or at least not lose 50% of the cost price. Much safer bet if you ask me, there may be a demand now hence the inflated prices, what happens in 5 or 10 years, I wouldn't buy a 34 as a investment, yes its the most advanced Skyline GTR but being the most advanced or last model doesn't mean its a worth while investment, a car needs history. Ask any modern fan boys about their cars, Honda S200, Toyota GT4, Mazda RX7, Subaru 22B, Falcondoore VLXRSS8, every one says their cars will be collectable. Anyways, keep up the good work. Disclaimer: I could never keep a car nice enough to be classed as investment quality, some smart bugger once said something like, "Not driving your car is like not sleeping with your girl so she is more desirable to the next guy". LOL, cars as investments, good luck with that.

I would keep the R32

Ummmm, more pics and specs please

I found my old dyno shot, the curves are basically the same just a lower HP and torque reading was used.

From my experience I never got to peak power, I think it was making 380ish or something at 7000rpm, it was making 350ish at 6250rpm, BUT, shifting at the lower RPM whilst being lower in power was at the point when my torque was staring to drop off, so when changing at the lower RPM and lower hp the car actually accelerated faster. I cannot remember what my torque numbers were but I played around a bit with my shifts based on my torque curve, I never went into different shifts points for different gears, I did look into it but it seemed a bit to much hassle for the occasional outing. As for cams, I had a exhaust cam that unigroup speced which whilst good was fairly mild IMO, inlet was stock. As for the screamer Im sure that with some calcs a exhaust size could be calculated, mine was 3.5 if I recall, it made over 400 on the dyno and the only issue was the injector duty maxing out, flow was fine. There are plenty of 400kw 25/30's out there, have a squize at some dyno sheets.

Limit revs= I found with mine that it was quickest when I shifted at 6250 if I recall right, it kept it in the sweet spot on the torque curve, your build will see a different torque curve so limits will be different, also from my understanding the 30 will be more reliable keeping the rpm down a bit, harmonics or some shit. Noise limit= some joints don't like screamers due to exceeding their noise restriction limit, plus what is the benefit of a screamer over a plumbed in gate?

Access is via Moorebank Rd off the M5, Anzac Ave isn't going to be used. Expect road works.

I would ask who did the belt, you can replace the belt by itself , BUT, generally you replace the belt, pulleys and water pump at the same time. Or at least that's what I do when a timing belt needs doing.

Limit revs with 3.0l. Plumb back. No screamer (noise limit) 26 cam covers have a larger volume. Oh, and a built gear box, or lots of spare stock ones.

Silly question, were the idler pulleys replaced.

The land has been handed over to the company but I believe they are in court with local gov, I would say that Liverpool council is upset because they haven't followed the usual Liverpool Council procedures of brides and corruption. Plus land contamination, but I wont let that get in the way of a good conspiracy.

I drive past the old DNSDC yards where it will be built in Moorebank every day, nothing built there yet. Where are you talking about?

M5 original plans had 6 lanes, once contract was signed company cried poor and weak gov said OK to 4 lanes. The only civil works in NSW with a eye to the future was the harbour bridge, from then on its been a joke. I would vote for that car driver party but sadly they also support the gun happy people party who like killing furry animals with big guns so my kids are safe from kangaroos, rabbits and deer when we go camping. Also need to fix freight rail to get trucks off the motorways, the trucks coming out from port botany are a joke, they have enlarged the port but not the infrastructure that supports it. Bring on the Intermodal.

Yeap, if you want to pay premium at a dealer for a used car, or you could buy private and save. I wonder how much the dealer paid for them? negating any repairs that may have needed to be carried out.

A car with under 6k on it isn't a good example of a average car, if it has been stored correctly you are basically buying a brand new R34 GTR. Look at the price any premium car with minimal km. What's the price of them selling with 50k on them or 100k, I saw one with 60k on it for 45k$ a while ago, admittedly that was a bit rough but the average price I've found advertised is 70k-80k, how much they sell for is another story. Plus its a well known fact that most cars are assumed to have tampered speedos, even non import fans I know talk about wound back clocks when talking about imports, unless of course you have full documentation for the car. I've learnt that what someone advertises a car for and what they eventually sell it for are two different things. Get on the carsales sites, there plenty of every model on there, some cheap stuff, some not so cheap, low ball the f**k out of them, you will get someone who needs the cash, some will complain, just give them your card with your number, most people are asking to much for their cars anyway, and after trying to sell it for a few months at a inflated price reality hits when the bills come in. And whilst they are apparently desirable in other countries how many are being shipped from AU, the market will always be talked up by the owners and fan boys, some people will spend to much on buying whilst others will get a good deal if they are smart. Me, I'm wondering if I should have dropped my money on a clean 32 instead of the new STI, whilst its a really nice car Im missing the angry RB.

First I would get a compression and leak down test done. Then if all is well I would go the restrictor. See how it goes and maybe get a well engineered can if needed.(Sorry but I really don't like the engineering, or lack of, of your current catch can) But that's me.

Also the head drain is more of a vent, i had major issues with oil control but once i had it fixed right it was fine, happy reading

Wow, stock restrictors, revving to 9 I'm not surprised that the oil hasn't spewed out sooner. Best of luck getting it sorted out.

That can looks like it was designed to spew oil, how much baffling is in there. Have a good read of the link that Bob posted. BTW lots of nice shiny stuff, get that thing sorted.

What restrictors, it just seems like something has happened after your launches, at the power levels you are talking about it won't take much for bad things to happen. Hell, at 900 HP I recon if you get more than a couple of thousand k before a rebuild you are doing well. And one big lean run and games over.

Put up some pics of the can and the routing used
