When will you get it back Scottie?

Sometime tomorrow mate. Few things got on top of him today and at like 7pm his welder ran out of gas. So best to put it till tomorrow. Another 2-3hours of custom fab work and it will be all good to go.

Joys of a full customer exhaust i guess

Long story short dint have enough time to get it completed. Least they were good enough to lend me a car for the night

Skid vids! :P

Just got the call from the exhaust shop I've been waiting all day for. Exhaust is all good to go, Plan A was them drop the car to me, however do to the "modification list" on my car the workshop weren't comfortable driving it on the road incase they get pulled over by the boys in blue... I will head down after work to pick it up.

Here is a few pictures in the mean time

Muffler, boooooo :down:

Just joking mate, looks good! Vids or it sounds like a Lancer...

Haha, Its still going to be obnoxiously loud I think. Specially on gate with screamer....

Because who needs a cat ;)

Well I am more of a dog person.

Car is a lot deeper than the old system and at WOT on gate is not as full on loud but still got a lot of noise. Not as raspy if that makes any sense to people.

Due to it being pretty late and dark when i got home i avoided making a sound recording. I might take it for a spin tomorrow after work and see how it sounds on record

Now that could be tempting as I can't actually make the normal cruise. Where does it start?
Well I'm guessing where it is suppose to start at the Yatala BP servo. Best to check with Mike first.

I will meet him at Mt Tamborine in the town centre

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
