I know boss its getting all crunched up at the moment an producing a lovely amount of axel trans? I think that's what it's called

Tramp, well thats what i know it as. The biggest thing it affects is the bump stear which will make the car very unpredictable. again your choice but i ran mine at optimal height and never had the thing do anything unexpected.

Keep it low and once its out of your system you will see the difference.

pushrod v8.. you know you want one

i changed to an east/west 6 cycl na all wheel drive and couldnt be happier. nothing wrong with a v8 (had a calais once) but just dont like the aust cars. Would consider one of the new ford supercharged v8 things (GS?) but thats just because its go silly power from fact and with little to no help gets tons more.

Yeah I have to take the coilovers out to get the yellow of so I will definitely be raising it up. Will also make it easier on changing wheels up at the track so I don't have to cart pine blocks around with me :)

I've got a bit of axle tramp when dropping the clutch in the wet at low rpm, once she's running again I need to get a pro to have a look.

Got my freshly machined crank, bearings, Reimax oil pump gears, new timing belt and oil pump gasket ready to go, just waiting on access to the workshop!

I like budget. It is my favourite. I went up to the track and one of the trainers was like you need this this this and this and then he was like it's only gonna cost $1200. That is like my yearly centrelink salary :\

centrelink blow big chunks. We applied to have rent assistance (along with other stuff when i lost my job) and we were only going to get 10% of the rent back!!!! so out of $200 a week they said it was fair to get $20 extra. no wonder people cant afford to buy food each week.

on topic,

what did they tell you to get griff? did you find a r32 mani?

Steering rack spacers, rear camber arms, castor rods, those solid bushes for the rear subframe and something that adjusts toe? I can't quite remember exactly what it was :)

I just ended up doing a botch job on the mani and drilling out one of the holes so it would fit on nice and snug.

Wasn't really to worried about it because as soon as the yellow comes off the mani with the gate flange will be going back on.

you can get adj. bushes instead of complete arms. they should do you till you get better and will cost less. i would suggest caster rods but again the bushes are fine everthing else is nice but not essentual till later.

cool as long as it works till then you are laughing.

Yeah I'm thinking about just saving the money and getting arms so in the long run its cheaper but I have to get it back over the pits first hahadomokun.gif

I'm not having to much trouble with it at the moment but I just want more lock and a bit more traction whistling.gif

MOAR TRACTION?:laugh:

Rebuilt the bottom end on the weekend and drop the engine back in the car, now to hook back up all the wiring and piping.. if the weather holds off and nothing else pops up, should be driving by the weekend :banana:

Yeah I need to start thinking about building up more speed and a bit quicker so I can get longer slides happening :P

Keen for a noob to come down watch you doing the wiring?

Bushes will be fine, dont cheap out on the arms get very good ones that can be serviced.

If you want to come learn some stuff and lend moral support, I'll be trying to spend a couple of hours each night after work on it :thumbsup:

Sounds good to me :)

You still have my number from way back? Probably lost in your PM's due to the fact that you are a mod and receive all kinds of important things these days domokun.gif

Glad to hear it's coming along Bubba. I've cleaned my garage out and moved stuff i wanted to keep into the shed, threw out 2 trailer loads of "crap" just gota put the wheels on the car and move her into the shed to start playing

Cheers mate! Bet you'll be happy to start tinkering on the old girl again :P

I'm itching to go home and work on mine.. stupid day jobs :( Also need a 26 p/s pump bracket otherwise I'll be getting a massive workout driving around town :laugh: stupid ATI balancers :dry:

Yeah its been sitting there way too long, missus is starting to push me a bit more which will help. Bart had a 26 sitting down here, he might be able to help out with that bracket

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
