iv recently just upgraded my turbo to a pretty sedate little item...

while tuning, we got a final figuer of 236rwKw, and even with decent 265 rubber on the back, im skating all over the place in 3rd at fullboost

seriously, i dont see the point of having anymore than 250kw at the REAR wheels

i understand if u have a 4x4 trim, but seriously..its occured to me that i simply cant justify having this much power

what's classified as fullboost :confused:

:P:P

mmm... Denham, you aint even rebuilt your motor... and it's been off the road for how long? :D

Anyone would think spending how ever much you have been, both time and money, you were rebuilding the motor ???

j/k :shake:

But if your on stock internals... enjoy! i will be to, we can both blow a motor together :)

Just how much HAVE you spent denham (if i can ask)

to chase your power goal?

I was gonna go the full hog and rebuild the motor but i am saving that $$ for my new house.

As for the total spent from transforming it from stock as from when i bought it, there isent much left from 10g of the $$ i sorta know of for performance parts, other $$ was spend on cosmetic stuff!

hey ppls i am currently building mine at the moment got nothing betta to do (lost my license :D ) i am hoping to get about 330rwkw but the only thing with that is it gonna be a bugga to drive on the road i think around 250rwkw is plenty for a daily driver anywhere ova that and it becomes a little unpractical, im not saying its bad i love big powered cars but if u gonna have that much power have a second car as well and save the animal for when u wanna have some fun hehe.

What is enough power? Hmmmm, good question. Wardest has summarised my views quite well in saying that my stock WRX was awesome for the 13 months I had it and then I wanted something different and the GTR was the answer.

Upgrading the GTR was initally just something I was toying with. With 210rwkw and my Tien suspension, it felt awesome, cornered well and had decent straight line ability. It wasn't until about 15 months ago, I decided to build a sick drag beast which could still be street driven. What inspired me to push harder was the FangArtists. When we met up, 200+rwkw had credit but it wasn't enough to keep up with some of the more powerful cars out there, so I made the decision to do the turbo conversion and work the internals at the same time to save pulling the engine down over and over again to put new bits in there.

At 450+rwkw, the car is a true animal on the strip and street. It's no fun playing with other cars now. Bikes are the way to go :D That's the only way there's a chance of losing. Now I'm not saying I'm the best driver in the World and I can beat anyone out there, all I'm saying is that when you have almost double the hp of most performance cars on the street, anyone can win driving my car as long as you can change gears and keep the car staight.

Racing with the hp which my car puts out is dangerous and therefore is now kept to the strip only so if you see me out on the street, please don't try to race me as it will be a waste of your fuel, time, effort and possibly your licence :)

good answer leewah but what r u gonna do if u happen to pull up beside obehave? that thing is an absolute beast. not saying yours isnt i saw yours on the dyno at auto saloon.

ah obehve , yes ive come across this beast on dandeong road. And what a beast it is. it passed me doing about 300km an hour all i saw were a couple of round lights and his plate. I was scared and excited at the same time.

i was cruising along minding my own business. then out of somewhere i see these headlights getting closer and closer then i hear something which sounds like a jumbo jet then this almighty roar a huge whooosh and that was it. Ive seen it parked outside of ATP as well.

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
