what did u decide on doing Todd???

what did u decide on doing Todd???

I decided to wait because I just got the following off Sam Murray:

High-mount turbo manifold

Dump Pipe

Front Pipe

GTR Injectors

Plus depending how the discussion goes I am thinking about getting a china copy t3/t4 turbo with garret internals! (I am being told that they are crap and won't start to spool up until 5500 and wont hit full boost until 7000 - I find it hard to believe with a t3 exhaust housing and genuine garret internals)

So all I will need now is a z32 AMF and a retune (bummer it can't all be done before I get my remap by Dr Drift this weekend! But atleast it will only be a trip to melb and an hour on the dyno!) and I should be at my 200rwkw mark!

Well i can say is be very carefull mate and that it is actually "genuine" garret internals. :)

I cant see why someone would pay that money to put into a $50 turbo when they could of highflowed a Rb25 or similar.

I know of 2 people that have bought that same China copy and both ended in tears mate.

Hope its ridgy didge and works out for ya, if you change yuor mind and want to go with something else let me know ya budget and i'll see what i can find for ya :)

damn!! That looks sweet! Looks like you had to roll the guards for that though... How wide are those rims? Am interested though!

The wheels are 9.5 inches wide with a GTR style offset hence the reason that the guards had to be flared, with more normal wheels there shouldnt be a problem!

how low does that sit? and how much would you be looking at selling for?

I dunno but it sits low enough that you cant run your hand around the rear tyre with out it getting stuck!!

As for price?? how does half the price of a new set sound?? (I would have to find out how much that is BTW)

Todd

have you had a chat to Steve at Autobarn at all about whiteline springs???

TimmyB put them under his GTS-t and it made a HUGE difference.

I think they were about $140ish brand new so might be worth looking into???

That would be for a pair would it not?

rrp retail price is $169 a pair for whiteline (They are what I am getting through a mate) Also they are a good inch and a half higher than the springs on my car now. It wont look as good but my car is being set up for tarmac rallies so I cant afford to be that low anymore!!!

YEP, if u want me to get you a price let me know :O

If your thinking of doing drift days at all or even take your car on the track or for a hard drive then you would be mad to get anything lower in my opinion!!!

But thats just my opinion :(

Im pretty sure they retail for about the $150 mark but they are always on special and have a fair bit of room to move with the price.

Even better if you know someone hey Bunta :yucky:

My springs work well for drifting!!!! That and the Apexi damper adjustable shocks :P

And yeah when you know the QLD supplier the springs are very cheap!!!

But Catkicker if you want the slammed look all 4 springs are yours for $150 (The rears are not even a year old!!)

    • I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?    
    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
