not convinced about Ladyboy Gaga just yet, but until confirmation....

oh, and just heard on the news that a Skyline was driving erratically on a reserve off Gorge Rd, Athelstone last night. Apparently residents reporting it to the police on fire somewhere in the area. If it was thieves, sorry to the owner, if it was the owner, tough f**king luck.

well, the 200 made 171rwkw. dirty and untuned on 14psi (the turbotech wouldnt go lower without fallin apart...).

its leaning out a little bit in the top end though. thinking afm might be a little out of it.

now shopping for a z32/r33 afm (whatever will see 220rwkw and be cheap, lol) and a fuel pump.

also dropped in on w.e.b suspension/modbury tyrepower and had a look for that knocking noise i can hear on corners.

dave who works there spent the better part of an hour checking basically ever nut, bolt, bush and bearing in the front end. all sweet.

then we noticed the passenger side engine mount, its pretty much farked. so ill be hunting for a new set of mounts me thinks.

best part is, he didnt charge a cent, which was pretty awesome considering how long he spent under my car...

Still very very respectful figure. Nice you got the knock source kind of sorted too.

    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information 
    • What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs.... 
    • I’d go the smaller rear just because you’re staying on 98, if e85 I’d go the bigger one
