Your ass getting sore from sitting on the couch (yes sitting on the couch, I'm not implying anything else) this summer...

List of SAU VIC Events for Q1 2014.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/437237-welcome-to-2014/

No excuses, I'd seriously be putting September 28th aside btw.

well now FPV is dead, the GT motor coming out in the XR8

so priced just over 40K new.

oh the 335, it has an over boost feature so if you give it a prod it does 375.

that's some bang for your back.

and considering the 2 AU built cars I've ever owned have been the ones that fell apart more than any other, great engine or not I think I would pass.

I'm sure when the FPV were done "bespoke" they were much better, but now they assembly line things, meh.

40k for the 335 supercharger engine? if the interior is elevated above taxi spec this would be fairly awesome - not a massive ford fan but that engine is amazeballs.

:wub: ham!

I've got heaps of spare hubs if you want one huy

Got to see if the other ones are broken or not, not too promising when two studs on one is broken.

Richo, will post photo of tyre later tonight.

one, more, have a pair of fronts and 2 pairs of rears I'm never gonna use.

i maintain my opinion that the new 5L ford engine is awesome. so easy to make power out of it.

oh I agree with this part

my mate may have one for sale as he is shooting for 1000hp and using a crate engine if your interested :P

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
