hey Krishy. how was the cognac mate ? fin it all ?

It was like the nectar of Gods mate....PM sent

I just made the hottest fkn lamb curry and for the first time ever struggled to even consume it!!! Great excuse to cool it all down with beer :)

Nothing is every too hot for me...also beer doesnt help it will intensify the heat lol

pritty sure there is a guide on the site??

also i thought that the 040 is not a direct fit replacment?? but maybe thats just for gtr's

The Bosch 040 that i use in my car went in without problems....but i can assure you that it does have pickup problem once it goes below 1/4 tank.....tried it once to test it out....and on a hot day the car just cut out.....still had 1/4 of fuel in there chucked in 5 litres it was fine enough to get to the servo....never doing it again lol

Hence why i am thinking of getting NISMO GTR replacement one....similar to the OEM one

Just an excuse for why there were so many empty cans when the mrs got home from work :( Was fkn hot however

Damo, you can check your battery/alternator with a multimeter if you have one.

While on the topic of electrics ... who's got a timing light I can borrow? I think someone offered the use of one previously, but I never took the offer (been so damn busy!)

Tried fixing my old one, but it just won't work. I bought it 6 or so years ago for $30 ... the same timing light is for sale now for $60! :rofl:

Also, found the fueling problem with the Stagea. Fitted the stock FPR in last night and its running better. :(

ahh i am a member, sounds like a plan, thanks Luke!

need to get the 34 retuned as well, Boostin Oz is $150 to see where its at, then they ring and tell you how much it needs and how much it costs. But, they don't work Saturdays, and id have to take time off work to drop off and pick up the car. Also, they are only 10 mins from my house. Southern Hi Tech is $350 for a retune, but they are open Saturdays, so no days off work, but they are down south, about 30-45 mins away. decisions!

    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
    • 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
