Happy New Year's all!

Ever come across some car on the net that made you uncontrollably giggle like a little school girl...?

I had that experience tonight at work. Was surfing along, quiet as at work... then BAM!

Rocky Auto S30 with dry carbon panels, a RB30D (yep, 3 litre, with a RB26 head, and 3 duel throat CARBS!)

Now, I've seen Rocky auto stuff featured before, but it hasn't done much for me in the past. Anyways, the car is currently FOR SALE for about 13 million JPY. So if any of you buggers picked up the new years lottery... buy this...NOW!

That is hotness.

Meanwhile, this is the nicest time to year to drive to work. Everyone else sleeping, and I just cruise in with every green light. Love it!

Chris Tucker is gold!!!

1000km run-in service & dynotune on Friday.

Forged bottom end, ported head with Tomei cams, gt3076 highflow, S15 450cc injectors, chipped ecu + tuneable piggyback ---- what boost should I have it tuned to?

[KiwiRS4T]

1.5 bar!

[Tangles]

I believe the ATS Gt3076iw BB turbo losses efficiency around 21psi.

I'm thinking 18psi should be fine, allowing spikes to 20psi (if that happens).

Don't want to stress the engine tooooo much; might just settle for between 1.25-1.33bar I guess.

[KiwiRS4T]

Ideally the tuner will just keep ramping it up until there is no return for the extra boost and then set it at the figure thats still giving benefit. Hope you get to keep the car although to be honest they are not cheap to run - I am spending $100 - $120 a week on petrol alone!

[Tangles]

True. To keep costs down im thinking tho im best to say X-psi tune thanks. Yeh stuff it, I'll tell them tune between 1.25 & 1.3bar thanks very much, and go from there.

Most likely keeping it, biggest (only) worry is "suspicion of defect" by an over zealous Officer in which case id be reamed big time as I have stuff all stock parts & can't deal with the hassle of inspections while at Uni, associated costs, etc. Only been pulled over once in my ownership for a RBT but admittedly its on my mind a fair bit..... Just the What-If factor.

[KiwiRS4T]

Dunno what system you have in your state but in NZ there is a Low Volume Vehicle Certificate with an inspection carried out by licensed inspectors (not the police). I just have to get driveshaft loops and then an inspection which costs $400 -$600 and then a certificate stating that all my mods are safe i.e. that the braking and suspension are suitable for (more than) the doubling of stock power, that the seats are properly secured in short that all non oem stuff is fit for the pupose. You also get a plate to go on the bulkhead and then just have to point out the plate and if necessary pull out the certificate if you ever get stopped by the cops.

Yep, we dont have anything like that. If the police pull you over they can send you to be inspected for suspicion of having modified the vehicle even if they know nothing. Read countless stories on SAU about guys having cops point out "Turbo timers" in their engine bays which are actually alarms, etc etc.
