I'm looking forward to seeing all these cars and seeing what numbers they run.

I finally got my FMIC installed today so hopefully I won't be completely embarrassed. I'm bloody annoyed though that my ebc hasn't arrived in the post yet so I can get everything tuned up properly. At least it will be interesting to see what just a bigger exhaust and FMIC combo will run over my previous run on the dyno when everything was stock - 105rwkw!! I think the dyno operator said something like "better not let this one get away from ya".

Fingers crossed it's not gonna be too hot - it seems it always is whenever there is a drag, drift or dyno event on!!

doglet, its not just about big power, its about seeing where your car is at, and at the same time, it will provide some valuable info for people looking at doing different mods cos we can all compare on the same dyno on the same day with different levels of mods.

Matt, yeah what T-man said:)

Yeah I know it's not all about big numbers but it'll be nice to see some higher numbers with the bigger amount of cash that has recently been spent! :( Hopefully it won't be like my ex- girlfriend where I ended up getting not much in return after all the money I spent! hehehehe

Looking forward to seeing some R32's with RB20DET's still under the bonnet ;) so I can see where I am heading.

I'll be there mate, nothing wrong with the old RB20's :( No doubting how effective the RB25/30 swap is though, considering it cost similar dollars to build a fresh RB20 or RB25/30, you'd be crazy not to think about doing the swap if your motor died!

Will be good to see some big power cars though, cant wait

Hey matt/steve : do u think shaun would mind if i just had a look at the setting on my cam gear. I have checked them and it seems to be 2-3 notches to the left looking front on.

What does this equate to?

Joel: Do u think the dodgy wastegate mod of urs would work on my car. Im having problems holding any more then 13psi over 5000rpm.

Yer it would work. It takes a bit of fiddling to get right.

When adjusting it, it might be worth pulling all the timing & pumping as much fuel as you can in to it so when you send boost over 15psi for a second it won't damage anything.

I did call it bodgy for a reason though. :(

heheh would i be able to do this. WHat toolz will i need, as i have a huge tool kit, i will just need to by the equipment.

By asjustin the wastgate, will this change to boost pressure, or just allow it to hold better.

Oh oh....

NO saturday for me.. :)

I have to work with my old man.

I really need the money as I havn't bought books for Uni yet.. Instead blowing it on the Motor. As you can see I've got my priority's sorted.. :)

Enrico,

I've got a pic of the wastegate when I pulled it off I'll edit it so you know what it should look like.

basically you just elongate the holes so you can pull the turbo away from the turbo (towards the front of the car).

It reduces the travel of the wastegate actuator so in turn the wastegate flap never fully opens hence boost will hold in the higher rev's.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
