it was a dip with no warning signs that was behind me before i could even say "what the f**k is that."

had another look just now. castor brackets are bent, castor bushes are leaking, cooler core has been bent and damaged a little bit, bottom edge of the cooler and the pipe work has been pushed back about half an inch, exhaust is now a smaller diameter than it was, front guards need the lip hammered back up again (tyre has gone up into the guards, caught on the lip and pulled it back down), leading edge of the sump has taken a small hit but looks fine from the front (if not, kts high cap sump kit here i come), but the rear end and the rails look fine. the castor brackets absorbed most of the impact at the front end.

but yeah, my fault, even though there were no warnings, if i hadve been paying attention to the road instead of my passenger id be right. shit happens.

probably. but itd be a lot more effort than its worth.

and they could easily come back with 'you were exceeding the speed limit' (not by much, but i was, plain and simple) and 'if your car wasnt so low, it wouldnt have been a problem', which is true. if i had actual ground clearance i wouldve just scraped my exhaust.

Holy crap! Pretty lucky there Dave i'd say!

Oh and Luke, any tricks when fitting or is it pretty straight foreward?

Guess it will be off with the HKS pods then, just for the extra points with the ladies :)

Piece of piss really, just a tight fit. Handy tip: Fit the AFM's to the box first, then fit the box into the corner, then attach all relevant pipework.

If you need a hand, let me know :)

Will do man, may inlist your help mate, give you a chance to give it a look over too :(

Sounds good mate, just let me know when and I'll be there.

I got mine from someone selling it on NS, managed to pick it up for $450.

As for the bigger sump, the motor will have to come out, a mod I'd love to do on mine but I've always said if the motor comes out, I'll rebuild at the same time

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
