    Oh and also... Given the higher price ($120) and only around 30 cars... IMO, best value DECA yet. 4 runs out the back of both courses alone is double the norm (for less than double the price!). If it gets capped at 40 cars, I'd be more than happy paying a bit more for future events if that amount of track time is going to happen.

    Thanks to ALL organisers and volunteers. I had a blast. Running out of tyres @ 11am was set to be a problem, lucky there was a shop in Shepp that had 20s I'd prefer if any videos of my car stay off the internet for 3-4 weeks. I'll dump the ones I have in HD on YouTube when time is right and post back up here!

    There is always a lot of VLs doing that lol. It's been going on since they left the showroom floor, I'm sure of it
  4. R31Nismoid
    Yes, you do. Trust us. We've been there and done it. I put a non-ALSD rear into my R33 GT-R... Believe it or not, the non-vpsecs are actually better from a modification point of view as the A-LSD is just trash.

    Don't ruin the fun of knocking people back boys...

    A lot of tuners have a simple sensor you can weld a bung on to attach and done. Cost maybe $50 for the bung welded and use whatever they already use Handy to have IMO, especially if you wanna play around with a setup a bit.

    Yeah you don't wanna be 'that guy' that rolls in at 8.30-8.45am as driver briefing is almost starting. I think I'm doing scrutineering and I wanna be done by 8.30am to get everyone out as fast as possible

    A GT35 will do 400rwkw on E85 So a fair bit further from your 300rwkw. It'll also be well outside a lot of the other parts you've already fitted. Stick to the "around" 300rwkw, don't go for more.

    That's the front housing... Not the rear housing. Why would you change the front housing? A minor A/R change front housing it's really going to alter things too massively. The turbine housing is listed on the other graphs. https://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/turbocharger#GTX3076R If you just go to the main site and plug "3076" in you can then click both tickboxes and compare. You'll see they are quite different... The bulk of GTX results on RBs are E85 and higher boost than you'll be able to run due to the fuel restrictions. A GTX might well perform quite well at 20psi or below, but not many people are doing it so do you know it really "will" work? GTXs were promised to give "better response" but they kinda didn't... So it's hard to say it's gonna be worth it on a $$ scale for the lower boost levels you are after. The maps suggest they are more efficient at the same points as a GT3076 but the real world hasn't really seen anyone do it on PULP and 18psi say. The real differences people have noticed are when feeding the GTX the boost it isn't scared of.

    You'll find Amayama have a No ETA simply because until someone actually hands over the money they won't go and order it. Makes logical sense for a part that isn't stocked by them. This just sounds ordering a few items for less than Aus (which you can do from basically any O/S supplier). And you haven't followed the rules here either as you've provided no ETA, no shipping costs, taxes/duties and all the other stuff that all alter the end/delivered price. Update the thread as per the GB section rules. They are there for specific reasons, reasons which ensure people actually know what's going on.
  11. R31Nismoid
    EOI's are pointless. Everyone "wants one" until it comes time to hand over the cash. Start a proper thread following the rules please.
  12. R31Nismoid
    You'll love good diffs. Make sure you do the rear as well though. haha you sound exactly like me now. +1 though. If I had another GT-R, I would change our the ceramic turbos and then do the diffs/transfer case hands down (provided brakes were half decent etc). Absolutely rate the drivetrain after doing it.
  13. R31Nismoid
    You need to look at the compressor maps etc. They flow more air at higher boost levels. Well yeah it might seem to be a bit backwards but you've actually done more than what most people do - given a decent amount of requirements. The fact you are not going E85 is the biggest one. The GTX Turbos perform well, you just need to put boost into them to really make the most of them. Most people singing their praises will be running big boost (20psi, and above 20-22psi is where they really do shine). I challenge you to find a result of a GTX3076 running under 20psi - I honestly don't recall seeing one
  14. R31Nismoid
    How much boost were you running though? I've never seen a GT3076 / GTX fall over @ 18-20psi. 25psi+, different story of course.
  15. R31Nismoid
    A turbo is the MOST important part, bar none. Cheap out there, the rest of the set up will never be as good as someone with a better turbo for the power/area etc. If you've read the forums as much as you have said, you'd know the GT3076 in a .82 rear would be the most popular pick for 300rwkw. Read the dyno thread, pages of GT3076 results to look at. Or consider something more on a budget from Hypergear. Again, they have a long detailed thread, you've just gotta decide for yourself.
  16. R31Nismoid
    Split pulse GT3076 with a .82 housing Job done for a responsive 300rwkw on a 18-20 psi to account for your fuel. Or you'll need a GT35 to get closer to 350rwkw with maybe a smidge more boost, obviously will come down to the tune GTX Series from all accounts seem to prefer running more boost and thus means E85, certainly not an option if you are quality of fuel limited.
  17. R31Nismoid
    Most certainly a retune, you're altering the air supply which means altering the fuel. However you would benefit FAR more from spending the money on a decent turbo on than changing inlet manifold. You'd live with an extra 10mins to do plugs if you could pick up both power and response every time you drive it. You've spent decent money on things like a Haltech ETU, Wideband yet you've got a turbo from the 1970s on there, does the setup zero justice IMO. And realistically based on your power vs boost figures, at a very broad guess, the turbo would seem to be running out of puff anyway meaning 300rwkw is going to be almost an impossible stretch. It *might* be doable with E85 but not if you're outta turbo flow, which seems to be the case.
  18. R31Nismoid
    Would think it to be fairly unlikely. Worth checking of course
  19. R31Nismoid
    Yeah, the upgraded ones I mean - aren't that big realistically
  20. R31Nismoid
    +1. That's my bet as well!
  21. R31Nismoid
    Yeah they shouldn't be hard to fine. Lewis Engines or whatever are also up there in Syd. Hell, just call most workshops - They'll let you know who they use most likely
  22. R31Nismoid
    You only have to look at how small the XR6 intercoolers are when they push 400rwkw without a drama. Definitely no need for something the size of a radiator and thick as a brick Anyway - the only way - test it.
  23. R31Nismoid
    Ah don't be a pussy! You can go as hard or not as hard as you like, often slower can be a bit faster (especially in the wet). So it's only dangerous if the pilot is being dangerous Given how wet I was one year, after standing in the torrential rain for a good 15mins directing cars, safe to say no matter what the event goes on! Viva la DECA! (I may or may not bring cheater EVO if weather looks sketchy lol).
  24. R31Nismoid
    Never used O2s, only had them there to keep the Poleeece happy. A decent tuner will tune better than what the O2 will provide in terms of "trim" etc. So go back and talk to them. Don't go spending money if you don't need it, and really, you shouldn't.
  25. R31Nismoid
    ^ I'm with Brett... Neither. T04Z is very old, far better choices out there. Sell T04Z and do a good upgrade to compliment the $$ you've spent on that motor
