Yep, cos I can't work out why you'd say G35 in the equation when we were talking about ye olde r33...

Because you then went on to say different technology, so I then gave you an example with current technology, even the same price.

And the $1400 tune still comes up on top

I was commenting on the $1400 tune as the use of the word tune made me assume it was simply a tune... if he had said eco and tune i would never have mentioned it.

in reference to 370kw, well that's a pointless argument... it's a 1.75 tonne 4 door sedan with a 5 lt v8 and a supercharger from factory that cost leigh 50k

compared to a 10k 2door coupe that is 15 years older.

Talk about apples and oranges!

for 50k i'd be well above 370kw in a skyline if that's what i wanted, but I dont see how it's comparable as i could also be there in an older falcadore, an ae86, a nissan patrol or pretty much anything available.

so what is your point?

end of the day, leigh's car is fkn quick and fkn awesome and I would drive it in a heartbeat.

(it's not worth 50k to me but thats beside the point)

You've confused me further. So I'm not going to say any more.

you can make the power throwing money into a older car sure, but as I said wanted something new stuff throwing 50k into a gtst lol

that's the point aarons making, comparing new cars, new technology etc

screw driving around a 400kw skyline you get pulled over you're f**ked in the ass

guess you could buy this instead :P dat dere 2.0l:

You can have 400kw Skyline and not get reamed when the bonnet is open.

Someone here have 34 NUR, RP motor blah blah blah and think he got pulled over and got done for height, no EPA from memory.

Again, horses for courses.

Also Leigh, you know me liking to take piss on you for your 'taxi' and your going on about me getting a Falcon.

this is my point.

yeh but got lucky right?

and this lol

Course he got lucky, you can get defected in a standard Skyline and that's what's shit about driving Jap. Leigh's car is awesome value for what it is. I think Aaron has a good point too...it used to be that old / falling apart Jap cars were the only cheap way to get big power...now a brand new Aussie sedan can have $1400 spent on it and kick it with the supercars.

I'd buy one if I found the FG attractive...

on another note, 90kg bench press today! woohoo!

Nice, how much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? I just started to gym again for a month now and struggling bad...

Need cash work now

Me too!

    • 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:
