Mixed day today.

Took out another dyno comp at JEM.

427rwkw! We put on my HKS funnel and put a bag of ice on the plenum ;)

This definitely means i need a bigger intercooler, water-to-air im thinking.

Bad part was i got picked up by a red and blue on the way there. Now the car has to go to the DECC.

Ill either get it passed or if its too much stuff to get done i will de-rego the car and strip, cage it.

damn nice power figure dave. Unlucky with the canary mate but it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise too.

I'm just waiting for the day they pull me over so I can say. "Its stock officer" and then watch the looks on their faces. :3some:

my car will be deregistered that day too. ;)

at least you got the decency of being pulled over for it, i got a letter in the post telling me mine wasnt road worthy. though i am jumping through all the hoops to get it engineered rather than make it track only.

you will have to get it emissions tested before and there is a ~4-5 week delay before you can get in for testing (penrith test on monday, bottany on wednesday). if the engineer says the car is safe and it passes emissions testing it should be apples, but for a car with your mods expect 1500+ for the engineers + any changes that have to be made.

where did u get pulled, what suburb?

was it an rta vehicle or highway patrol?

nothing worse than getting ar5e raped!

this is why i should get an eng. certificate for my gtr...in the 90s i had a gemini with a 2ltr twin cam & got pulled up, simply gave him my report in the glove box & i was off on my way (the police copper was burning). i also kept my eng. report in the car when i had my dato 1600 with fj20t - also got pulled up & said to the officer "its legal" with the biggest grin on my face.

They knew the dyno day was on an were patrolling the area. Got picked up just before Ingleburn.

They should spend their time kicking in doors of drug dealers rather than waiting to pull over a few cars, but kicking in a few doors doesnt make them as nearly as much money than defecting a few cars.

There is no point really going to the DECC. Even if i pass, ill get picked up again eventually and if the mods are back on its a huge fine and the car will be taken.

Ill get it caged and start tracking it.

Oh and ill be at the next Friday session at WSID so come and watch me get booted :banana:

Dont be silly man, change your plates and get it engineered... Dont give up something you love for the sake of aus best organized gang..

As said above, engineers and pass emissions and you should be fine. Next time you get pulled show em a photocopy of your engineers report. As long as it is concise you will be fine.. Most of them dont know enough to think past the engineers report, and the RTA knows this.

when i bought my 1st big bike in 99, i bought an r1 off a guy who had a bad reputation & the number plates were very well known as i found out after the 1st week when i was riding to my mates house...i had 6 highway patrol cars on my tail for 10min, rode to my mates house & they all jumped out & surrounded me, until i took my helmet off they calmed down off & strongly suggested "change your plates otherwise you will be pulled up every time"

i thought i bought a hot bike...geez!

moral of the story, the new plate worked for 5yrs :D

The car sounded like an absolute animal on the dyno!

As discussed though Dave, I think you'll find it will go back to more than just the plates, I told you the way around it! See you Friday night :D

Oh and BTW Friday nights at WSID are for ANDRA licence holders if you don't already have a Super Street licence.

read this thread the other day from cover to cover, wow.

Spoke to Paul at Red R Racing today regarding an RB30 twin cam engine for my car. He certainly knows his stuff and also mentioned your car among many other monsters he has created. I cannot wait to get mine built now, will have to catch up with you next month when i move up to Sydney permantly.

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
