Amen to that, I've got one (VR4) sitting on the wharf at the moment and I am just about OVER all the V8 knuckledraggers who want to race the 'line when I am just minding my own business driving home from a shitty day at work. With the Galant I will take pleasure in how many of them go home thinking they just got OWNED by a "skinny Magna".

It really makes me laugh how much trouble these falcadore knuckledraggers go to in an effort to prove that their brand new low km, $70,000 dollar, car is fractionally better than someone elses $35,000 dollar car with 100,000km on the clock. HELLO? So it bl00dy well should be!! But by a hell of a lot more than fractions of a second over a quarter mile. If you want to know the best bang for buck car around have a look at getting hold of a sub-$10k VR4, spending about $5k on it and run deep into the twelves. Personally I think holdens are POS and fords are not much better. 230kw from a XR6T? 4 litres with a GT40 on it blowing 6PSI?!?!? It should be making lots more boost and 400kw. If they wanted to strangle it down to 300hp why didn't they put a GT28 on it and have it spool just off idle? How responsive would that be?! W@nkers the lot of them.

telling us what your car is and your current level of mods would be a help...

Yep, well spotted, neglected that bit of the equation. D'oh.

I think EVERYBODY has a set of them sitting at the back of their garage. You could try flogging them to some knuckledragger with a falcon. They'll fit and be a decent upgrade from his 15's

P.S. I'm an Aircraft Engineer and have seen the insides of gearboxes that would give you nightmares (a diff is just a type of gearbox). I have also rebuilt several car diffs over the last 25 years. (mostly the one from the POS Cortina I had back in the 80's)

Give this man a prize. He's the only one who knows what he's talking about in this thread so far. Think about it this way. 1. Take your open diff car and put both rears on axle stands with the wheels clear of the ground. 2. With the engine off. Put the gearbox in gear (or the trans in Park). 3. Rotate one of the wheels by hand (say at 10 rpm) and watch the other one. 4. As if by magic, you will see the other wheel turn in the OPPOSITE direction (but the same speed) to the way you are turning the wheel on your side. 5. It's not magic.... it's the diff centre (bolted to the crownwheel) being held stationary by the pinion (bolted to the tailshaft) which is locked by the gearbox and stopped engine. The right axle rotating clockwise will transfer its motion through the side gear in the diff via the spider gears and then to the opposite side gear which will rotate in the opposite direction. THE AVERAGE OF 10rpm and -10rpm IS 0rpm. The speed that the tailshaft is doing in this example. If you don't believe me, go out to the garage and try it. If you are showing 50kmh on the speedo and you have an open diff and one wheel is stopped, the other one will be doing 100kmh. This is the fact of the matter. Believe it and be educated or don't and remain ignorant. (look ignorant up in a dictionary before you get insulted, it means "Lacking information or knowledge" not "Stupid") If you think this is hard to visualise, just wait intil you have to understand a stacked planetary gearbox...

Have a look in the for sale section. You can pick up a "Hybrid Copy" for just over $200 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ght=intercooler I have one on my car and there is nothing wrong with them. All that is missing is a brand name badge.

Get used to it mate, it's called life. There will ALWAYS be some di(khead who is jealous of what you have and they don't. You have a car better than most people would have after being at work for many years so naturally there are going to be more people "below" you and hence jealous of what you have got. My first car was a $800 shitbox Mini that I bought when I started work (with money saved from 2 years of after-school job) It was a POS but had a nice metallic burgandy paint-job. Some co(khead even keyed that! Face it, IT'S A CAR. It's out there in the big bad world and it WILL get scratched, dented, sh1t upon by birds (and worse), faded by the sun, rammed by run-away shopping trolleys and generally fuxxored by everything and everyone. Any time you drive it some half-wit school-mum in her 4WD Tank could run up your ar$e because she is more concerned with the brats in the back than the carnage she is causing outside the windscreen. Nothing you can do will stop crap like this happening other than locking your car away in a vault, just looking at it through a 6 inch thick bullet-proof glass window and taking the bus... A skyline is meant to be driven, enjoy the bl00dy thing. If you want something pretty to look at go get a fully riced "fake EVO" Lancer. As far as the clowns who shake their heads and make "unsafe car" comments... just smile at them as they get into their falcodore and drive off. Maybe even give them a little wave, (a nice one, not the forks) secure in your mind that they paid more money for an inferior car.

Pointless thread for a pointless car...... They do make good mobile chicanes but :kewl:

I have a S2 R33 GTS25t with K&N panel, HKS Dump/Front/Super Drager Cat-back, Hybrid copy FMIC and 10PSI on the stock Turb. This gives 160-170 RWKW depending on the air temp. I have had a couple of "private Road" drags with a guy at work in his SS Ute Gen III 6spd has had extractors and exhaust done. Very even, it really comes down to who gets the better start and keeps the treads hooked up. They may be a dinosaur POS but some of them are quite quick. But they're still a POS.

13.6 is 19.8 mpg. Sounds like the pom failed maths

Don't worry mate. I know him. He's yanking my chain.

bloody wharfies...

The Galant VR4 that I bought in SEPT last year finally his Aus soil on Saturday. 5 Frikkin Months and then there will be all the crap of compliance etc. By the way. Anyone recommend a compliance workshop for 15yo in Brisbane?

Not quite correct.

Damn that sux. Odd thing is that something made me make an "impulse purchase" of a 89 180SX just over a week ago. http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=1894 I guess now that $5100 (landed) purchase looks better in the potential resale value if/when we ever sell it. We also have a VR4 Galant that should be landing here on the weekend. Guess we will just have to make the most of them. bugger, I was looking to get hold of a MR2 or even a 3000GT later in the year for my wife.

ok, I bought a Mega-QuickPick so now all we gotta do is wait... (silly post and a free bump)

I have used similar pipe routing as the Biltz intercooler kit. i.e. crossover pipe tucked up in between the cooler and radiator. I made the piping myself from less than $200 worth of parts and an afternoon with a MIG. Inlet and outlet hook up to the stock plumbing and there was no metal bodywork cut, drilled, hacked, bashed or bent. Had to do a bit of surgery to the front bar to fit the intercooler but it all fits nice and neat now. (actually I have to make a new bend for the driver's side of the core to let the piping tuck up a bit tighter... THEN it will be tidy as.) Intercooler is a 600x300x76 Hybrid "copy". It looks totally stock from above the engine and would be a easy swap to return to stock. (none of the stock parts butchered to fit new setup, except the front bar and fill in the holes with black expanded mesh and ... no problemo) Will be pulling the bar off in a couple of weeks to finish that second bend and will try to remember to take some pix.

Boost pressure is just a result of the "restriction" that the engine causes to the compressor discharge flow volume/mass. more restriction for a given flow rate = higher boost pressure. Extreme example take your 2530 and bolt it onto a 1.3 litre engine. It would probably be happy pumping 2 bar or more into a tiddler of an engine like that. Now take the same 2530 and strap it on top of a 7 litre V8. At high revs it is quite possible that the V8 would be trying to suck air through the turbo because it was trying to swallow more air than the poor "little" turbo could pump. P.S. I would hate to see the shaft speed in the second scenario!! 2530 is probably a little small for an RB25 if you want high power at the top end. 2835 would be better but the 2530 would have a hell of a mid-range.

and just what planet are you from? The stock dump may be a restrictive POS but it aint gonna restrict it from getting to wastgate actuator opening pressure. Perhaps if you ask him nicely Sydneykid will explain things for you...:flamed:

I got mine mainly because the std size plate won't fit the back bar of a R33 and I didn't want to be driving round with a bent or cut numberplate there screaming "DEFECT ME". The combo? well among other rhings, PTR33 could be a very jumbled up version of PETER... Only one or two people have seen that without it being explained to them but.

If you keep overall tire diameter the same and offset the same as say 17x8's there should not be a problem. except the cost of 245/30 zr19 tires or similar $$ouch$$

I got a S2 coupe with 17x8 38mm offset wearing Federal SS595 235/45 17's front and 17x9 38mm offset with SS595 255/40 17 rears. Stock suspension, no scrub, no rub, no probs. At just over $200 for the rears and just under $200 for the fronts ( from Bob Janes with SAUQ discount) they're surprisingly good tires. My car used to spin the same size p5000 pirelli's without really trying but these just stick like glue. If they use them on the 9 sec GTR that Brisbane Street Machines run, they are good enough for me...
