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.

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

    • 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?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
