The Asians are loving them Billy!

Working in the CBD I'm seeing more and more appearing literally by the week. All on tampon taxi's with a million f**king teddies across the back windscreen and a driver that can barely see over the dashboard.

Sounds about right. They're a complete waste of money though.

I❤BRZ plates are available. The inner little girl in me is screaming out that I should buy them. But alas, I think I might fly under the radar with this car, I've owned too many personalised plates. PULSE.R on the Pulsar, GTT4DR on my R34 and CUBE.3 on my ummmm... CUBE3. Please convince me I shouldn't buy them.

I'd get them. Would look better than some standard issue plates.

oh.

i want an evo.

drove one on sunday, a blue evo 6. 212kw. at all four.

felt much quicker than my 200. i want one.

the end.

Dooo eetttt! lol

^ this man he knows

should have taken you in my car was at 235kw *le sigh* I miss it

Would seriously consider one. Tune on e85 with some Injectors 20psi would be great. Nick I heard how much you sold yours for. I could kill you for not telling me

20psi? haha try 25psi for daily duties, mine was on 24psi

they run insane amounts of boost..... I know built engines that daily on 32-36psi

Yeah I picked it up cheap too, but price was shit due to the km's on car. However they were pretty much all highway cause of where I live

Apparently it's frequents Lygon like crazy now too, few people I know always see it there.

i dont think i'de actually get a 6 though.. probably 8 or 9.

IMO stay away from late 6.5 and 7s they tend to have weak rods for some reason

early 6.5 are fine but I'm not sure exactly when they changed the rods in them, but if your going to build engine doesn't matter

And the rods are fun to about 240awkw anyway

But go from a 7 on wards, the ecu's can be remapped instead of needed a piggy back or standalone ecu like the earlier models (you can mod a 7 on wards ecu into earlier models however)

But 7 on wards do feel less 'race' oriented while driving, much more refined car so its a better streeter

Aaron I'm much the same: 8, 8MR, or 9 ftw. Will have to see what the prices are like in a bit over a year though... 8 so much more affordable than the other two atm :S

Edited by kaitoukid

in a year and a half ill be looking at buying something nice to drive around in..

choices are R34 GTR, E39 M5 grow up, buy a house and and get married or someshit lol

An e60 will be a better option in a few years e39s are all fkd already massive kms great car but won't be worth it in a few years

I'd say stuff cars set up your future I pissed so much $$$ away on cars could have been in a way better position now but eh hindsight

imo 8s look horrible unless they have a nose chop, but they need a badge in the middle too

i like the clean look of the 9's too..not much of a fan of all the holes and vents all over the 8's either, but keep it standard, just a tune. maaaaann

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
