you have a stagea? I will prob get it tuned down here but it's allways good to know who is avalible. What are the drift days like up there ?

I have 2 of them, I would get the car tuned up here as the mapping will be out for the hotter climate (unless its done in Bris around Chrissie - cause its fcuking hot there too).

will be driving from Brisbane to Darwin in 2 weeks , any advice for a long ass drive in the NT ?

Just did trip from sydney darwin only hints are

Dont travel on Qld roads after dusk due to bloody big skippys

Try to do Barkley Hwy in the cool of the day

Most importantly enjoy the roads in the Territory with open speed limits and far better conditions than Qld & NSW. And dont speed through the towns on the Hwy as it is easy revenue raising.

Take lots of CDs

Its the wet season, I would try to run up the centre. The road out of Mt Isa is an absolute shocker. Avoid at all costs this time of year.

Oh yeah, take heaps of CDs and give us yell when you arrive.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
