  1. I finally gave in an put a garret water cooled, ball bearing highflow into the china housings after 4 of the china ones died over a couple of years. It seems to come on boost at about the same revs, but it has less lag (ie time between mashing throttle and full boost arriving) The guys at Unigroup did a tune for me today, here are the results: 19psi was the max the turbo was happy with, no doubt with a bigger turbo it could make more power....but that is hardly the point is it.
  2. See you there Ryan. Adam, if you want a passenger seat, I will be heading through Ryde about 4ish.
  3. you need tips from James/Sirlordvanderwhatever One common approached I've noticed is to add a stay from the front edge of the splitter up to the reo - this creates the triangle that you need for strength at the front.
  4. 1. Buy stagea 2. load with tyres 3.??? 4. Profit BTW....Dave said box. Over and over again. See y'all there. I'll have some tools there, and there are a few things in the club trailer too.
  5. sprung....I hope I was being good. were you in the stag or undercover?
  6. that is a C34 under that, isn;t it?
  7. the simple answer is they increase the preload by adding more or thicker clutch plates, similar to the preload mods on a mechanical diff. I'm sure there is much more science to it in getting it right, in fact the first rebuild i had done was a disaster and left me with a broken xfer case chain (if you've seen it, you'll understand just how big a f**k up that must have been) and a rwd GTR to do Targa Tasmania in.
  8. good thread...keep posting updates
  9. For sale: Terraphone Rally Intercom. Very popular, entry level intercom. I ran this in the rally car for a couple of years until I moved to something more expensive with noise cancelling. The only issue with this was a little background noise which is common in the cheap intercoms, but it is perfectly usable. Includes: Intercom, CB speaker and Mic connections, 1x helmet headset. Also includes custom Raceworx ™ rollcage mounting kit (piece of bar on top to clamp to rollcage) You will need to buy a second helmet mic/speaker kit, only 1 is included. Retail: ~$200 Price: $50 pickup in Sydney, post at buyer’s expense
  10. I've confirmed the offset on these today, it is 17x8 +30, same as the 32 gtr vspec wheels. they would be a good fit for any skyline/stagea/silvia etc.
  11. fark...hope he is able to up and around again soon. nasty.
  12. got the stag back with the new turbo on it today...response is good
  13. Auto Meter 5744-M Phantom Full Sweep Electric Pyrometer Gauge details here: http://www.autometer...search&gid=3300 Included: Gauge, thermocouple and wiring. All in working order. They retail for about $250 new. Price $100 pickup in Sydney, or post at buyer’s cost
  14. out of interest, how much power do you think is being fed to the wheels under braking? That "review" was anything but credible, but hey, there is nothing like a famous developer's name and some internet hype to get some viral marketing, right? A transfer case rebuild will cost $1-2k depending on how bad the existing case is, plus remove and replace and fluids. Yes it can make an excellent different, particulary if the old one is in poor shape. It however also offers no adjustability like the controllers do. I think a controller for a couple of hundred bucks is the way to go for most street users, unless you have too much money to spend. Once you talk about maximum performance for track etc it is a different story - I would (and did) do both a rebuild and a controller. You can get controllers on ebay from $90 so it is a cheap bet: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GTR-Torque-Split-Controller-TSC-GTS4-GTS-4-RB26-Stagea-/110896719839?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19d1f5a7df
  15. lol wrecker motors don't blow up, you know that Pete.....they just leak a little.
  16. Good call pete, Marulan is a good place for a dirt cheap track day.
  17. no problems, $50 with a free WB02 controller to be honest this is cheap to just stop it gathering dust. *edit* just saw why, the splitters retail for $99,999.99! http://wbo2.com/hw/splitter.htm
  18. I spotted Craig. Long before he spotted me
  19. actually, I always take flags seriously. If I see them through the red mist. BTW did you notice he almost caught that....rear grip came back just in time to spear him directly into the car.
  20. good lap, but I suspect with new tyres there is still more in it. What are you thinking of running at superlap? And man does it pull, that must have been great fun. Re the sump, I have tried Trust, custom and Hi-Octane, and had a good look around the Gibson sumps. They are all pretty much the same thing, so go with any of them. None of them have kept my race motors alive more than a season at a time though.
  21. Excellent work Russ, congratulations
  22. Techedge 2A1 Wideband sensor controller.

Includes onboard datalogging of the o2 sensor and up to 7 other sensors. Comes with an RJ45 splitter so you can connect a gauge and PC at the same time. New equivalent units are about $250. What you still need: An o2 sensor (Bosch LSU) and cable. Tech Edge sell them for about $150. What you probably want: An o2 sensor display. Tech Edge sell them for about $150.
