[steve_R32]

What are you going to be doing there? Hope you enjoy it whatever you're doing,

Steve

[RevsPerMin]

Thanks.Well,everything. Being a mechanic and tuner at Mitsubishi Motors for several years and having experience with the EVOs I'll be doing my stuff in RPM.

Cheers,

Ivan

Do you guys have a dyno down there? .... I'd sure love to dyno my car while it is still fairly standard .... before the LS1 dyno day (when I hope to have my exhaust etc on by then).

What sort of dyno/dyno-tune deal could you get me? *cheeky*

[RevsPerMin]

Yes we have a dyno. I'll speak to Tim, and get back to you regarding a dyno run on your S15. I'm sure I can twist his arm regarding a deal for you Andrew and all the Skyline Aussie members.

Or otherwise give RPM a ring at 82772266. And ask for Ivan from next Monday.

[NitRaTe]

Hey bro...as I've said before, I'll say it again, good on you!

It's gonna be cool cause i bet you'll be enjoying your work there! I'll come down and visit you whenever possible.

Cheers.

Ivan,

You'll be seeing me from time to time then mate I've had a number of modifications done by (or in conjunction with) Tim, Mick, & Steve.

Come to think of it, you'll be getting your hands dirty on a 1UZFE (4.0L DOHC V8 Soarer eng') transplant into a Hilux Surf very very soon :uh-huh: My father in-law is booked in to have his turbo diesel Surf given some mumbo!

I'll be seeing you soon myself, I've got a few basics I want to get done before the dyno day, gotta’ squeeze those last few rwkw

Cheers,

Matt.

[RevsPerMin]

Andrew Nightcrawler, we can do the power run for u for $40, we can 'tweak' it up to get more rwkw for your 200sx.

If you want a dynotune it will be $137 plus parts. Ring RPM and we will fit u in before the LS1 dyno day. Mention Ivan.

Thanks Matt and Aaron. Will be looking forward for the hilux!!

[RevsPerMin]

Matt, let me know what you need doing for your car and I can work up a good price for you as well.

Cheers,Ivan

[Clint32]

Cool, ill keep that im mind when I need some more parts for my car.

[Nightcrawler]

Thanks Ivan .... I'll definitely take you up on that!

Congrats on the job btw .... I'll bet you can't wipe the smile off your face - get to play with hot cars all day *lucky bastard*

hi. just wondering what the cost is involved with that?

thinking of doing it my self.. did you use a crown engine or a soarer?

thanks,

Dave

Ivan,

Thanks mate I just want to do a basic once over, change fluids (diff/box/eng/filter) I'm too slack to do it myself & with the hoist it's much easier I've already got all the fluids/parts so it'll be a pretty simple. Hopefully I can drop in around the end of the month?

I'm also thinking about trying a set of NGK Iriway7's too? Nobody stocks them on the shelf in Adelaide yet (to my knowledge?) & Autobarn want $30+ea!

For those that didn't know: Iriway/Iritop/Irimac are the newish range of NGK Iridium plugs designed with performance, high comp' & boost levels in mind. They only come in 7,8 & 9 heat ranges. According to AB & NGK rep's HKS plugs are re-badged versions of these plugs?!

For more info read here - http://www.ngkspark.com.au/bulletin_SB01-1.htm

dAVE,

Give Tim a call @ RPM PC, he can give you a good run down as he put the package together. The engine they've sourced was from a Soarer.

I suggested the conversion to the Michael (father in-law) & he said, "Yeah lets do it!" The whole package drive-in / drive out will come to ~9-10k, that includes the g/box, clutch & flywheel set-up sourced by Michael via Melb'. I'm still working on convincing him to add a supercharger :uh-huh:

Cheers,

Matt

[RevsPerMin]

Matt,

I've just emailed Tim to find out about the NGK Iridium series plugs. I will let you know as soon as he replies.End of the month will be cool.

I wouldn't mind having a set of those plugs on my Proton as well.

Ivan.

[whatsisname]

Thanks mate

What ya' doin' up @ this hour! My sleep patterns are screwed up, & will be for a looooooooong time to come now the bub is here :uh-huh:

[RevsPerMin]

Gotta get up early to do the milk rounds,man!!

[RevsPerMin]

Matt,

We can do the plugs. But I would recommend the NGK BKR7EVX which is a platinum no7 heat range plugs for mild 1/2 serious street car.The Iridium ones are good for SERIOUS race applications but they are proven no better on the dyno for HP than the BKR7EVX.

When Tim was in Brunei tuning some cars for street drags, there were some cars over there which were running the Iridium heat range 8 and 9, thay were TOO COLD for daily driving and were fouling up. They were then replaced with the BKR7EVX and were running clean all week and were not missing at all.I'm sure the Iridium are a great thing but you will probably end up favouring the BKR7EVX for your car.

The Iridium and the BKR7EVX retail for $30each and $22 each respectively. But I can do them cheaper if you ring me at the end of this month.

Hope this helps,

Ivan.

[whatsisname]

G'day mate,

Really appreciate the help dude!

I'm actually already running BKR7EVX's so I guess I'll stick with 'em I've noticed a few GT-R owners have mentioned they use them too, & we all agree they're an excellent plug! I guess it's a case of, "when it ain't broke don't fix it"

Hope Corey's rail runs some good numbers next weekend!

My car is going in to RPM this Thursday.

Make sure you don't use the powerwindows.. New tint is going on Wednesday Afternoon

Fixing up the thermo's.. I need 2 relays for the Twin Thermos..

I was going to get it tuned but I've got it running pretty well now, I've dropped the timing to std now that I'm making 15psi up at 7000rpm, don't want to risk pinging in the hotter weather we are coming in to and i've also wound the Fuel pressure Bleed all the way in as i don't like the idea of it leaning out at all in the mid range.

Anyway it feels quicker than it did when it dyno'd at 156rwkw.

Turbo is coming.. soon.. Then I'll get the ECU re-mapped and bring it back to tims to get a possibly final Dyno Read out

I'm aiming for at least 200rwkw.

[Clint32]

decided on a turbo yet joel?
