The old days have truly gone. Where is the talk about double pumpers, Mallory twin point dizzys, double hump fuellys, Roller rockers etc etc.

The conversations on the weekend went along the lines of. Yeah its fully sic with an A4RT1 hooked up to an RG437T overriding a series 2 phase inhibited L61J With twin over head shaved XV67s mounted to a straight through maxed out B42 pushin XR53s @ 12000rpm on 57lb boost. Its just riciulous when the OLS kicks in at half boost and then pulls strong right through to max where the 451GRX! limits the blowback through the cardio mac 2 gizmo.

WTF

Listening to a high performance conversation these days is like eating alphabet soup. How bout a thesaurus for old farts. Post up the letters safc11 for eg and tell us what it stands for. :(

safc....super air flow converter

afm...air flow meter

fmic....front mounted intercooler

ebc....electronic boost controller

Im with ya on this one Dingo, I'm learning as I go too. :(

The first car I did up was an HQ Holden

I built a full ported, balanced 186 bored out and stroked with a yella terra head, roller rockers twin point dizzy, triple delorto carbs ( Spelling ) etc. Then removed this engine a dropped it into an LJ 2 Door Torana it was absolutely insane. I went thru alot of M21 Gearboxes and Banjo Diffs with that engine. Could never afford a top loader and 9'inch Diff when on $215 a week apprentice wages back in 1989.

Ahhh to be young and stupid again :(

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
