I think all is now in order, are boost pressures right?

Will be better on the same dyno, Grepin's had a stronger mid range on the Boost Worx dyno compared to Tilbrook's.

EDIT: Oh yeah, kept the pink one for ya Matt, nothing else looked right!

Also made changes at 90km/h.

i think you need to put a vaue of 120kw @ 90kph for whatsisname's graph... it looks freakishly good around that point at the moment :( it will shape it more like the dyno graph with that value in... just being picky...

it's got an awesome mid-range though... i calculate an average of ~35rwkw extra between 80 and 130, with as much as 60kw at 100kph... that's almost like having an extra NA rb20 at the rear-wheels at 100kph :)

any chance of graphing an RB26 with around 260-280rwkw/awkw on there... would be interesting to see the difference in the power delivery.

Thats a great idea actually Lachlan, when was the last time we had an SAU dyno day? Do you think Shaun would be up for it?

It would be really nice to have a sort of comparison chart on here so people could see what different combos/mods have made - it would be a great info resource, and a fun day as long as Matt lays off the ELF:)

I hope all you guys are all competing at the Nats next weekend .... I wanna line some of you up :) - see how my wussy little stock internals and turbo SR20 goes against the big boys :)

Hey just curious wat either steve, freebaggin, greppin or whatsisname have done to there supension and diff for extra traction, if use have any traction.

Nice work on all your cars, use have all done very well for ur selves. Hope i make it to that stage myself, one day.

Top stuff Lach', love your work. Yep you got my boost level correct mate (1.3bar)

You know I like that pink so much I might just paint the car in it :D

Hope the carpet did the trick Steve? Yeah good idea re the SAU dyno day. I'd say Shaun/Boost Worx would be happy to host it. I'll have a chat to Shaun today (7Feb) & see what he thinks. I'd suggest waiting a month or so till temps come down a touch. Then I'll whack some ELF in & cheat ...... :) J/K

Mate I'd love to go bigger in the turbo dept, but $$$ are needed in other areas atm, so what I've got will do for now. I agree that my CR & response are surprising! Fresh engine perhaps? Headwork. Port matching manifolds. Could be a combo of things? Plus the turbo itself.

slyr33,

To help with traction I have:

Standard shocks - with king spring lows

Adjustable rear camber kit - set to minimal neg' for a flatter contact patch

Sub frame bushes (pineapples) - set for traction

RE540S rubber - my normal rubber, not really that good for drag use but I'll see how I go.

I really don't have big goals for quick ET's, I'm actually more interested in my TS, & having fun :D

I wanna get me camber done as well whatsisname. Where did u take your car to get done. I've seen a few tyre joints, but none seem "professional" :) in this area. ie I wanna take me car somewhere where someone else has been where they don't thrash your car and do a good job for the price. :D

does that make sense?

Bl4ck32,

I've used:

Southern Steering & Suspension down south - Whiteline dealer/know their stuff

Web Suspension on Nth East Rd - did aligning myself, but their equipment is top notch

Bridgestone on Gouger St - The current aligning was done by Laurie & the boys, Laurie no longer works there though, pity as he is a bloody top bloke :D

Joel,

Sure am mate :D Promotion @ work & a tidy bonus helped :) I've still got a few bits to be bought & fitted, seats etc...

The Missus actually asked me last night......

Her - "So what other things do you want to do to the car?"

Me - "Ahhhh..... quite a lot, why do you ask?"

Her - "Do you want a bigger turbo? 'Cause isn't the one you've got old & not good enough?"

Me - "YES I'd love a new turbo!!!!"

Her - "You've already spent enough for now"

Me - *under my breath* - 'damn it!'

GT-R seats will keep me happy in the short term :)

Matt, I just passed it on to the guy building my sub box, hopefully it will be done by monday.

My sus mods, ohlins coilovers, set only medium hard rear, pineapples and hardmount spacers for the rear cradle, whiteline swaybars, castor bushes - and I have a 1 way mech diff coming. I seriously need to do the adjustable camber thing - I might see if I can get some adjustable arms for a reasonable price, but if no luck I will do the whiteline kit thing - also want to piss off the hicas. Currently I am running some goodyear revspecs, which dont hold too well at WOT in first or second.

Matt, how typical of the fairer sex, raise the spirits with expectation, just so you fall harder when they pull the carpet out from underneath;)

Well nothin TOO fancy for me in rear end:

King spings (progressive)

Bilstein shocks (used to get heaps of axle tramp at AIR when at 200rwkW but now none)

Superpro offset/adjust upper-arm polyurethane bushes (they give me 1° camber, up over 2° without which is too high for street applications)

Whilteline non-adjust solid swaybar

"Clint32" HICAS lock (not bad for an R32 scrubber :D )

Rear tyres are 265mm ZE326, nothin special but hook up surprisingly well at AIR, although not as good as RE540s.

I reckon Bridestone in Gouger are the best for wheel align but make sure you get a bloke that knows hi-po stuff now that Laurie has gone.

Steve, see Clint32 re adjustable arms.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
