^^ Ohhhh were all gettin new cars hey!! Last night i ordered my 19s, today i got Ryan to get me some Coilovers, and im about to book into Auto Perfection for some nice tint and alarm!!

So Skandy what are you gonna be getting now then??

Lee whens your beast land on a dock near you??

Well the legnum was in Brisbane on March 2 - but only got cleared from Customs on March 20! Rang Toll yesterday (doing transport from Bris-Adel) And the car should be at the depot on Monday March 31. Then off to Premium Motor Co for compliance, so expecting to be on road HOPEFULY by Friday April 18.

In the mean time my parents are off to NZ for 2 weeks, so i'll have Dad's 275rwkw XR6-T to drive for a couple of weeks, from April 6 :ermm: So next week should be the only week my wife and I will be down to 1 car.

My mate owns a 309.9rwkw xr6-t ute. Youve probably seen it around. It's red with the numberplates SLOW. Driven it a heap of times including back from melbourne....To be honest id rather drive my 33.

^Don't get me wrong, I certainly wouldn't prefer the XR6T over my legnum, skyline etc. BUT it sure makes a nice daily for a few weeks rather than my sisters old clapped out VT Commodore V6 which was my other offer for a car LOL

So Skandy what are you gonna be getting now then??

dunno, been flirting with the idea of a modded s13 or an ST165 celica GT4, but a few things are changing in regard my living situation, so i know id be better off saving my money... probably means no car for 6 months or so, and the celsior was the only thing keeping me sane, should make for an interesting couple months.

yay, receive final payment on my ute lid tonite.........take it to get taken off tomorrow

securing final details for a canopy :D wagon styles. its going to need a rattle can job (from white to red) but im going to have a shit tin more storage space (its a high roof version, highest point is about 800mm above the edge of the tray :D)

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
