what mods are you running to make 210Kw?

Full 3" exhaust

Pod Intake (hks mushroom)

Power FC tuned by RPM Morayfield

Yellow Jacket Coil Packs

Return flow IC (just been swapped out as it was giving me severe pressure drop above 5k 4.5psi) Now a HDI GT Spec Cooler

If I have done anything else I have forgotten what it is.

It was running 204.4 KW after the tune with a leaking turbo gasket after fixing that it was rocking 210kw (turbo only had 2 nuts on it when I brought it so I discovered)

I am hoping that with the new cooler not dropping pressure she will produce 220 - 230kw as the sheet was looking like it would do that if it didn't have that pressure drop.

next mods will be injectors, pump and turbo I guess maybe even a z32 afm depending on if I get power hungry again.

Yeah Clint should be alot better once she's has the mid and top end of the tune finished. Ya bastard ya got in front of me LOL.

Yeah I was gonna come down Friday arvo but I was rooted after fitting the cooler so I rang Pete, I'll let Pete work his magic and see what she makes and If she will need a new clutch to go with the power.

How was Harry's the other night?

Wasn't to bad. quite a few cars. They filled the other side of the road car parks. Cleared out pretty quickly though.

so what is everyone up to today?

was going to be a car clean and sort out day. but its too windy outside to clean it. and i got a sic girly to look after :mellow:. so mines a quiet day....might reassemble the back of my car this arvo.

got my coilover adjuster extender thingy's sorted and the inside of my car back together and clean....about bloody time.

I ended up using a 1/4inch universal joint and medium lenght 1/4 socket extention on either side with a little black cap on the top. the original idea was to make them out of anything other than Metal as metal can be heavy and rattle, hence why i had some timber and rubber ones made up (which didnt work), so metal it is. hopefully they dont rattle to much.

Hmm, im thinking morayfield this week. And if anyone is keen id like to get something happening during the day, even sat/sun arvo. Game of footy or cricket, something different.

As for this week, yea im not sure.. We could go to our usual spot but turn ups have been bad the last few weeks, people loosing interest or w.e

However, id like to get pictures of each car as i am extending my knowledge base on web design. (i would be making a website to do with our pride and joys)

You will b abke to upload, comment etc at other peoples profile!

yeah guys im in for a local feed this wednesday. happy laps is this weekend....but i wont be going to that either. car needs new brake pads and im far too lazy/busy to get it done by then.

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
