So what 1/4 mile time does your Munroe run on normal street tires Luke.

Hey shaun. i have'nt actually ran the car yet as i get SFA time to myself.

Looking to get to heathcote towards the end of august

Need some help guys, my mates at work all love cars that are 4.5+ L displacement engines. every time someone buys milk or juice it becomes a chance for me and the car to cop shit.

My favourite is still, "only cask wine comes in 5L"....but they're bogans, so they might think its boutique.

Or, perhaps, "Hey, HSV finally hit 300kW with their 6.0L LS series engines! Welcome to where Nismo had a 2.8L RB back in 1996. I knew you guys were slow, but I didn't think it'd take you 11 years to catch up."

Mentioning Bathurst is a bit tired these days. You could bring up how many Targa Tasmania victories a big bore V8 has taken in recent history, compared to a 3.6L Porsche, 2.6L GT-R, or 2.0L WRX. Or ask them which side of 8 minutes the Commodore runs at the Nurburgring.

There's plenty of ammunition out there.

2.5lt v8s can make big power... but stuff all torque... how could they pull thier boats otherwise ? its all design for purpose.

i still want an s2000 with a supercharged lexus quad cam v8

but i want allot of things.

money money moneeeeyyyyyy.... moneyyy!

putting a rag in one of their petrol tags and lighting it up is always a nice, friendly way to settle things.

failing that, have sex with one of their parents/siblings/children and send them the photos - that's always a good situation neutraliser.

good luck

How about getting a frontal lobotomoy like all the other wingnuts arguing over this rubbish. If you like cars then you like all cars. If you are so brand loyal then half the time you think your car is a fashion label or you care more about what other ppl think of your car...which really is missing the point

LOL...hey, truth hurts. Thats my take on things anyway :down:

I have a respect for any car that is worthy of it. Any person who feels the need to talk rubbish about any car based purely on ignorance is not an enthusiast. And thus i wouldnt waste my breath talking to them about something im so passionate about.

Well before you start writing off large displacement yank cars, make sure that they are in fact inferior. I think you will find plenty of American muscle cars that are a awesome machines

Or try this guy in any Jap car!

Your doing well to keep up with these! :)

i just tell them that if my 2.5l makes 346rwkws your 5.7l would have tomake 788 rwkws to be any where near as efficient. and seing how gts-t weighs only 1370kgs and a vx monaro weighs in excess of 1700kgs,i rest my case. had a mate at work tell me that even though he concedes that my skyline would beat his vx gto monaro in a race , that his mates 10 sec vl would destroy me lol! whats he trying to say about his car?

i don't know why there has to be such a divide anyway. i love all fast, powerful and sexy cars! give me a camaro rs ss any day! i could just look at and rub my crotch on it all day long....mmmm

the only come back i've got is, if it aint a nissan theres parts missin... and that grows old very quick.

help me with some come backs to these fuel guzzelling barstards!

only cheap wine comes in 5l

Its like the Melbourne vs Sydney thing,

- there is no right answer, they both have pro's and cons, though I think there is more of both of those in Sydney!! :thumbsup:

I love em all, 4's 6's and V8's, hmmm.. actually anything that ignites and goes BANG!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
