are you taking the piss Cara or you are seriously thinking of putting a 800 hp super charger on your car?

ive seen you drive NA and i can asure you with anything over 300 hp you will become a statistic.

please be careful.

hey darren,

no im not taking the piss.

and i will not becoming a statistic.....do you honestly think ill be driving the 34 as a daily with a 800hp supercharger hangin off the side? dude, i aint the frikin stupid. i have a plan in place and i will be sticking with it and that includes doing advance driving etc,, when tho the car will be mainly show/dyno queen and every now and then going down the track. everythins is being looked at to make sure the car is done properly before she goes on the track or road. im doing this properly. no shortcuts, yes it will be expensive, but in the end it will be worth it,

Cara, have you thought about going a bit more custom and running dual stage injectors?

It'd make low rev driving better/more responsive.

:thumbsup:

yeah i could ruby, lol but this whole thing is headache already and i dont wanna make it even more a headache lol

i just spoke to my guru, John Keen, and he said i can go 850cc without any dramas, he was running 850cc in Jakes VL and that was doing 650 rwkw and still had plenty left in them before they maxed out.

what fuel setup are you planning Cara? External pump/surge tank/ braided lines?

most likey damo

im guessing your engine is getting a full forged build not just bolting this stuff on....

and if u only 'upgraded' to gt-t brakes and kings springs i think money can be spent elsewhere...

ive already upgraded to that lol

and yes my engine will be getting a full rebuild and will be having a RB26 crank/pistons/conrods combo which will mean she will be stroked to 2.7L.

ill be going with ISC coilovers for my suspension, but there is alot of other nitty gritty things that i will be needing to speak to John Keen about when the car goes in for her service and tune next month, im hoping i can then finalise everything i need on my list and then get bit by bit.

what happened to the 2.8 litre stroker idea? that would've been the way to go

not at $10,000 just for the kit its not a good idea lol

i think stroking to 2.7 L is gonna be enough and i can do it for less, a new RB26 crank is about $1100

i don't know but i have seen n/a cars that go! e.g. k20 in a eg and the dude pulled 12.8 on the quarter. in america there are single cam 4 banger n/a ripping up 9's! so go figure

drag racing (and driving around in circles) is what americans do, its no wonder they can get n/a cars to put down good numbers. theyve also had more money invested into them than most people will spend on a house.

if you wanna see a wierd n/a haul some ass hpi dvd 4 has a 260z with a L6 (original motor) with a bottle of nos and some other stuff no doubt,

and then go's on to drop a 8sec quarter, had to rewatch it about 10times before i believed that the orignal motor could pull that sh*t

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
