Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

Noticed there's a Team Red Stage sticker on a white ford station wagon in the carpark at work. Wonder if that's the same person with the 33 4 door?

But given he hasn't noticed he's been spotted maybe not much chance he'll see this!

Although... There's something pretty white and shiny in there today. 500kw daily driver FTW!

The point of the 400+kw etc threads is it makes it easier for people to discussed things and look for what setups people are running rather than trolling through the massive thread of people putting a pfc in their standard car and running 200kw. It is also an easier place for discussion for common known hurdles around certain power levels etc.

They are actually very useful threads.

I get what the point of them is. Unfortunately I read more rubbish than good.

I'm well connected with multiple workshops that are going to give me much better factual information based on experience which is 100000000x more valuable than some of the shit I've read in there.

Each to their own. I dont believe most of the crap thats on here, nor do i take everything i get told by workshops as gospel. My opinion only. I dont expect anyone on here to believe what i write, for all they know i might be 13 and own a pushbike and nothing else, and have never worked on a car.

What works in/on one engine may not work on/in another. Trial and error is the only way you know what works and what doesnt. Just sucks its so expensive and time consuming. Power figures are just a number, you can make the dyno read whatever. As long as your happy with how it goes who gives a fk!

I've seen you plenty haha, I'm in the grey 32, saw you after the downshift meet as well.

But bummer to the defect.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
