Will be good to see some quick 32's around as well, give the R33 boys some competition

Hopefully power up plan stage 2 will commence shortly for mine, although 230rwkw will do me nicely for a RB20

reckon its great work to finally see alot of projects coming to completion, although as with all car stuff, I'm sure they are all a work in progress, good stuff :D

yeah joel i have a flywheel off the rb20, have a os tripple going in so its not needed, PM me if your interested

When finished i hope to have the power that these 33s have but with about 200kg less weight to move around

There will be a couple sleeper 300rwkw R32's 'idling' around adelaide soon also.. :D

 

Problem is I need a stock RB flywheel so Andrew can balance up the RB30.. Think I can find one.. No sir..

I've got one, I'll sell it to you for $5000 if they are that rare :wassup:

What a bunch of R32 floggs! Gotta be wankin yourselves! :thumbdwn:

Thanks for posting that up Matt, go the stock internals:)

Joel, get a twin plate NOW, and balance it complete - you will need it with all that RB30 torque:)

Twin plate = broken RB20 gearbox. :D

But you never know, depends how the prioritys work out if I come in to some more money. 1. Engine, 2. ECU, 3. Turbo, 4. Injectors or Clutch depending, my clutch should hold a decent amount when the front g/box oil seep is fixed.

I hope you don't mind Steve I borrowed your 9kw to add to my lawnmower. Grass won't be growing back for a few wks.

Hey I got ripped too! Lach used my 17psi tune not the 19psi one :) Gimme the 19psi tune you bastards, I need to exploit my strengths over you higher CR stockies hahaha :rofl:

But in all seriousness I agree with Lachlan, it's great to see so many 250-300+rwkw Skylines in Adelaide :) Makes it better for our more modestly power brethren, 'cause now potential traffic light opponents won't be too sure if they're about to get nailed or not :)

And now back to the thread....... talking about ME & MY STUFF :) j/k

I have to give a HUGE thanks to our very own Steve for setting up a damn fine deal! I now have ~35L of ELF LMS fuel in jerry cans sitting here ready for tuning, & then the Nats :D

ELF LMS is 102RON unleaded that was developed as control fuel for LeMans. A number of rally teams use the stuff too. The 102RON doesn't sound like a big deal but it sure packs a lot more oomph than it would seem!

Thanks to Steve I got in contact with Trent from Autobarn Mile End & he gave me 35L of LMS for the grand total of $0 Autobarn are now (or soon will be) selling LMS for ~$6.50L (35L x $6.50 ='s $227 for free - I'm happy:) ). My car will be sporting Autobarn Mile End sponsorship for the nats as a thankyou.

LMS is not cheap, but considering the gains, & how healthy it is for your engine, it's not a bad alternative to Nitrous. A couple of real world examples of how much extra grunt LMS can unlock:

Martin's HPI Soarer went from 288rwkw to 336rwkw from additional timing & boost all possible due to the LMS. The engine showed signs of less heat build up & NO sign of any detonation on the PFC.

The 10sec Morpowa Lancer was able to gain nearly 100kw via tuning on ELF LMS!

*Note* this was info from the engine builder.

The downside to ELF LMS (apart from cost - although not too bad as a once in a while drag/track day) is the massive headspins it was giving me while driving around town with it in the back of the Liberty!

I also have an Apexi wastegate actuator ready to go on. It came off an Apexi AX53B60 kit & although I don't know what bar it's rated at, I have found info from Apexi that confirms it is, "strengthening spring internal organs actuator", so if it doesn't fix my boost drop I can always have it surgically implanted to strengthen my organ :( Once again thanks to Steve for teeing up that deal (didn't cost a cent!)

Last but not least, I "MAY" have a deal on some R34 GT-R seats! Hopefully in ~2-3wks :D

Hey Matt, thanks, but dont thank me, seriously, thank the generosity of those guys who were willing to donate to a good cause.

Trent is a really nice bloke, loves imports, and fortuneately for us, gets the good gear in cos he actually knows what he is doing, unlike so many other auto parts shops around.

So when are you testing the ELF on the lawnmower, you will probably get another 10-15rw out of her yet.

:( Yeah Lach', Steve & I are just stuffing about, but keep the comparo' graphs coming mate, they're excellent.

Steve,

Very true re Trent (& Irish).

I hope you don't mind mate, but I swapped your 9kw for a Niki 650, pretty much a straight swap really :)

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
