Another R32 Money Pit

[battery]

where did you get the turbo beanie?

hows it holding up? the ones i have seen don't last too long and have a habit of smoking really bad after a while.

Ebay, it's branded autobahn88...

So far so good, between it and the heat wrap on the dump it smoked for a while but now has cleared up and is fine

w00t all set for the T67, just waiting on some cash 2 morrow and it will be orderd. then its just a matter of a new dump/inlet and changing my intercooler piping a bit fun times ahead.

thanks for this build thread man, it is a good read and hopefully i gan get the 350rwkw im aiming for this time round and it tuned at status also.

Failed to make it down to the drags this week because I tried to reinstall the rear stock suspension to get a bit of squat in the rear end and because of all the alignment changes the bottom seat of the spring hits against the upper camber arm!

So I had a bit of a hissy fit and went f**k it I'm not going down at all and left the rear end in bits and on jack stands...

Going to get my shit together tonight and put the coilovers back in and then probably just raise the rear end a inch or 2 and run it like that down the drags with some MT ET streets, probably won't be a good time due to getting kicked out as soon as you run a 11.99 or better but will be good to see how high the mph will be.

Fingers crossed for at least a low 11 at 130+mph

Sold my wheels, will be ordering the http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-2-4-TD06H-GT-60-1-T25-Flange-/270710578738?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f079b9e32 for my rb20 2moz

hopefully it will bolt straight on!

[SimonR32]

I wouldn't recommend that turbo for a RB20, it's not the TD06 I was talking about...

That thing is massive and you wouldn't be very happy with it, I've sent you a PM with some more info

Ah damm... So are you planning on taking it down next wednesday?

[SimonR32]

That's the plan at the moment

[SimonR32]

Well drags went ok, didn't get the best launch in the world but went for it anyway, ended up getting kicked out so only 1 pass on power.

Ran a 11.03 @ 132.5mph and the ANDRA official kicked me out and said to not come back without 10.99 or better regulations.

So close but no 10, at least the mph was healthy

Fck yeah mate, thats awesome. what tread did you use? with the coilovers or stock?

[Roy]

thats moving. I think my t67 with 10 cm housing is goung on with rhe cams and e85. will see what abuse it can take and whether the lil 20 can keep on the boil down the qtr. god knows it will ne a shitty track setup

[ahh 33 s2]

I always thought it was a 10.99 you needed before getting the boot, either way a very good time

[SimonR32]

Coilovers, stock suspension hits on camber arms now. MT ET streets 255/50/16

Mine was set up for track really, all I did was would the rears up 15mm and bolted on tyres. Those ET streets are surprisingly grippy haha

I always thought it was a 10.99 you needed before getting the boot, either way a very good time

11.99 you need a harness, tailshaft loop and andra licence etc... Because I was so close to a ten and mph was high he said I had to sort the 10.99 or quicker requirements as well, so cage plus lots more

[SimonR32]

[ahh 33 s2]

First run?

[SimonR32]

I did a 2 practice launches and rolled through so I didn't get banned... Then that was my first full pass

awsome time man. woohoo, my T67-25g turned up today, im gonna have fun building this weekend.

[blue_vl_t]

wow, that hooks, a 10 sec would be faily easy with a few more goes, 1.9sec 60' is a bit slow too, so MPH all the way, love it
