Dunno if anyone gives a shit but I thought I'd share and give a heads up that the Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica has leaked online 10 days before release... watching it now, hoping for the same awesomeness as BSG :P

Wow, I never knew that Dom was like that, I know they are all stories and he said she said bullshit but seems like he's screwed a fair few people...

Funny thread none the less :blush:

Moral of the story, always pay your bills

Nope, not a clutch, although I'm curious to hear that story!

when his car was being loaded up to go to blood sweat and gears, it still had the factory fitted organic clutch, that burnt out loading it and unloading it from the trailer, so he blamed the transport company, the transport company obviously wasnt responsible (nigh on 500kw car, organic clutch, smallest slip will kill it), but did the right thing and got xtreme to hook him up, one rather expensive clutch later, he was back in the running, but was expected to pay for the clutch, last i heard it was still in small claims. and thats straight from the guy that transported his car.

How we looking for the car part fitting weekend Dave?

lookin good, gonna tackle a fair bit of it tomorrow (coils), then well just need a couple hours on a friday or saturday next week to fit the brakes (fingers crossed).

    • Yes, it's similar length. 
    • Is the CD009 similar length from bell to shifter?    car will just be for the street with the odd track day. It’s RB30det, and weighs about 1000kg
    • The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.
    • VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
