its got jaggies and stuff but it was going to take a bit to get it 100% im not an artist just like playing

Thanks Stevo.....I'll give it a go.......looks good bud. :P

Hey no probz Dave......I reckon Patrick is organizing a DVD for me so don't go out of your way bud, but I'd be curious to see what's available in Adelaide next time you're there. :)

KISIN - Yes i actually have GTR fronts in mine but there is no differance in the front from GTSt to GTR

Yeah it would still be there Jess but sau has a bad habit of making links go bad if you just copy and paste without coding them :(

Oh :D again..This is the first time it has done it to me..

All good cause Sled found them on ebay anyway!

I'm excited about Go Karts and catching up with you SA folk :woot:

There might be no house purchase for me this month :)

House at auction went for way more than I was willing to go (which was well above market value)! :D

House I put an offer in I had a second inspection last night on and there's a few things wrong with it. Getting a building inspector to go thru it early tomorrow morning (before I got interstate), and I've instructed him to look for water damage in the ceiling and down the wall cavity. I strongly believe there will be hidden damage, and the owners thought paint would cover up anything. Considering the vendors are asking $5K above median price in the area (on par with Cheltenham houses) and especially $50K above suburb prices (houses in Rosewater range $310K to $330K average) ... I do not believe it will be worth $375K even with the extension (which I suspect does not have Council approval). :down:

Shopping for a house is so much hard work ... jesus, there are some real disappointing homes out there ;)

There is one final house I'm looking at in the area well within the market range and looks to be in better condition. I might arrange an inpsection next week when I return. If nothing comes from this one, I'm giving up looking until the end of the year. Everyone knows the housing market is on its way down, and most vendors are trying to get as much as they can now despite there being some problems with the house!

I'll have pleasure telling the vendor I'm retracting my offer due to hidden faults with the house they were aware of, if it comes to that. :P

WOOT.. 302rwkw 17psi

Best part though...

3500rpm = 200rwkw

4000rpm = 265rwkw

Comes on super smooth no snapping and actually really easy to get the power down.

The 2" FMIC piping and 450x300 small FMIC was causing a few issues and wouldn't allow us to push more than 17psi in to it up top. :D

Not to replace the fmic and its 2" skinny arsed piping :P

Very Nice!!! :P

NICE joel!! im sure ur a happy man..

whats next hahaha?????

Thats a silly question... :)

E85 haha

+ FMIC with 2.5" piping.

The cams have really woke the car up.. Right off idle it feels much more responsive, spools the turbo earlier etc. I must admit I was a tad scared the 265/263 9mm regrinds would kill low end but its been the complete opposite.

Best thing.... I've just pulled 400km's out of a tank and almost a 1/4 of that tank was on the dyno!! :D

hey Joel.....did you have to retard the exh gear to compensate and bring the power curve back to the left?

I'm abit confused, cause even though 9mm is not huge lift, when I went to school, bigger overlaps always caused a shift in rpm in a northerly direction.......maybe it's more to do with your tune than the cams cause I always thought that better response is not generally a side effect of bigger overlaps :)

Regardless of the size of the cams the way they are setup they run less overlap than the R32 RB25DE cams (8degrees) I previously had in there.

From memory they were 240duration inlet 7.8mm lift and 232duration 7.3mm lift. Inlet had an LCA of 112 degree's and exhaust 117 or 118degree's. Being a total of approx 8degree's overlap.

The new cams... Inlet LCA 110 exhaust 115. Overlap is 4-5degree's so even though they are bigger cams they are setup with bugger all overlap.

The Inlet LCA and exhaust are exactly the same as how JUN or HKS I believe setup their RB20DET cams.

Less overlap helps turbo spool improves bottom end which is most likely why I have not lost any fuel economy or low/mid power yet still picked up decent top end due to the 265duration and 9mm lift. I presume. :S

Still got some tweaking to do it was only on the dyno for approx 1hr. It wasn't worth spending any more time on it as the FMIC is crap and causing problems. Most likely the IW 1bar actuator is not able to hold much more. Much the same as the problems Dangerman4 experienced with his IW garrett housing. Needs a nice stiff actuator.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
