yea i was not really refering to the dynos more the weather conditions. water meth makes a great improvement for up here, you can squeze more timing safely with out the worry of pre det, plut extra fuel from methanol. what size rear did you get with that turbo? that's the usual choke point if the size was to small, you would notice a boost leak on your dyno graph depending on how bad it was. and its hard to be happy with out a goal, i guess the way to look at it as $$$$$$$$$$$= how fast do you want to go? then you reach that goal and start all over again cause your use to it and its slow again. i dont know how a top fuel driver could get through in life, imagine him driving his wifes toyota yarris!!!!!!!!!!!!! dear god come on it took like 5 mins to get to 100kmh! ha ha ha. still i must say you have a nice car, i see it all the time around town.

Thanks man.

Yeah I'm getting over the whole thing lol

Had set a target of about 270rwkw or so maybe 280

If it made it there. Was hoping to run e85 one day and just wind down the boost a touch so I was making roughly the same power with less boost. And have an agressive e85 tune to get me to 300rwkw and maybe a touch over even but yeah lol

Pro s is capable of everything I've mentioned, hence the disappointment In ending up with this version lol. Sydney tomorrow so car is the last thing on my mind :)

hay cal i had a look at your dyno chart today not bad at all made good tourqe in the end, a little lower than 260rwkw but still not bad. it will be fun for you at the next test and tune.

im usualy at adrenalin performance, so i had a look while i was there. yea it was not 720nm it was 680 ftlb, its not accurate but that roughly work out to be 920nm! hence not accurate.(it was a bid let down for me to stupid dyno) if you make that much nm wheelstands would be occuring! :thumbsup: its annoying to say at the least but generaly you nm output should be dam close to the flywheel hp of your motor, so 320 atw pluse roughly 20% for other losses = 384fly wheel hp so it should be doing around 390-400nm at flywheel. how come your putting new rims on your car arnt they 18's already?

Haha yeah couldn't remember the exact figure. But that's pretty decent.

Nah I have 19's ATM (buy them off me? There nice :))

Getting 18" Raiden (Lenso) D1R

Snapped a driveshaft not long ago and I'm pretty sure it's from the big wheels with the large rolling circumference. Think they are a bit heavy to, but damn there strong and they suit my car pretty well

yea dont think snapping a half shaft or drive shaft it from 19's you get less grip with the smaller side wall and also under throttle you tyres toe in so less rubber on the ground, if they run gtrs into the nines with stock half shafts and drive shaft pretty sure we would be hard out to break them, i still have stock driveline and never broken it once, but i do take it off every month and check it all. if i was to buy rims they would be 15's or 16's, mickey thompsons are so much cheaper in that sizes pluse less wieght in rim. are you going to this import meet at bj's tommorrow?

Gtrs run thicker half shafts, I've done some research lol.

Cause I thought the same thing, but turns out gtst ones are sligtly smaller but they still shouldn't break

My wheels may just be to heavy. All I know is it does grip lots

.dat file from latest tune? In Sydney right now, not home till Wednesday so I'll try and remember

any one looking for some side feed injectors? i got a set of jec's 550cc just been bech tested and cleaned that im chaning out if anyones interesed. going to 850cc top feeds. hit the limit of those 550's already.

New wheels turned up yesterday :)

What made you change your rims Cal i didn't mind the old ones, i just ordered a new set for the R32 today should have them next week, got a set of the Latest AME Tracer TM-02 19x9.5 +22 they are gonna be the show rims waiting for a quote back on some Advan Neova AD08 Tires 275/30R19 can't wait they are gonna be awesome.

Main reason is tyres

I always wanted 18's but im fussy with wheels and after choosing about 3 different wheels that I liked only to find out they didnt come in the right offset in 18" etc then I finally settled on the 19's I just took off.

There a great rim, they look great and they are so tough, but every time something happens and I need to change wheels in a hurry, It costs me $600. I can get cheaper wheels sent up from down south but last 2 times ive had to change tyres its been urgent so had to source them locally. And I end up with Nankangs cause I cant afford anything better (Had a quote from one place for $700 EACH! for Yokohamas) And noone had the 19" tyre size in stock.

The new wheels are really growing on me, but I still think the old ones are a great wheel :)

I dont like those wheels on the black skyline there but should look good on a white 32 :) (Your not painting it a different colour right? haha)

Edited by 89CAL

Yeah i see where your coming from tires are freaking bullshit here in Australia, I've never seen them rims in the flesh before are they the D Project Ones, things always look different in a pic compared to real life. But Yeah not painting them AME wheels going for the panda look on the R32 Black and white is sexy gotta get the Enkei RPF1's powder coated black to match the new rims.

yeah they dont suit the black 34 but should look Good on a white car, How is the drag car going, will have to go check out the thread again, its been a while

The D1R's are quite nice for the price they are, Alot cheaper then the Koya Inox R1's that just came off it..... lol

Yeah the drag cars going ok, just gotta get it painted now then it's all done. Jason from HPI Magazine wants to be the cover car for one of his issues, so we are super happy bout that, can't wait for the finished product.

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
