Man even 380 is more than enough. Dont want to worry about gearboxes or driveshafts like others do

Hah! Just reminded me, My clutch only handles up to 380rwkw anyway

Yeah serious detune after 1 power run i think

Huge power for RWD Skyline, almost too much lol. But yeah, might as well take advantage of the huge power and get Trent to make it a conservative tune for longevity! Just be careful with third gear...albeit the most fun, they are also the most susceptible to instant gearbox destruction in GTS-T and GTR boxes (especially). What rubber are you running?

Also, I believe you owe me a post-tune ride in your vehicle, Tony.

Can do post ride

I agree too much power i think 350rwkw is an ok number to settle with for driveability and traction

What power rating does the gearboxes take before shit starts to happen?

Hankook rs3's 265

Once I get new rims I will probably go for a 285 tyre

Toby gotta take me for a spin when you get it back!

what turbo you running / engine still 2.5? strong unaware of your build.

Can do

It's pretty much a xr6 turbo. 3582. Smaller than a Garrett one though

Still 2.5L, internal gate, stock turbo position

Be me

Drop r34 off for transmission work, before 6 week holiday rattle abounds (auto)

Told 1 week

Told no problem

Go on trip, life is awesome for weeks

Return

Car not ready, can't find part over christmas

Ok

Still have daily, eta 1 week

Daily dies 1 day later

Shit. Obtain many lifts

Pick up car on birthday

Pay 2000

Car dies 20 minutes later on highway due to dead fuel pump 5km from barwon prison when you live in eastern suburbs

Hope your day was better!

Ouch! That's a kick in the dick... at least it wasn't someone wrong within the box and it'd be off the road for another month!

I have and/or had a brand newish (5000kms) walbro 460l..

I am rather unlucky at cars.

It's rather dark out here looking for a tow.

Dd you ever think 'ok. That thing is cursed and if better move it on for something else?' at some stage?

Cos I recall you first had that issue with just na+t 3+ years ago.

What is it with Lankan's with wings.

Best I've ever had were some my mate who from Sri Lanka did for us

maybe you have same recipe!

Lol dunno. Wings are the poor mans meal anyway.

I hope it's not the same lol I looked at a couple of base recipes and just ended up making my own.

I have a spare 460L here if you need it, and a screwdriver. :P

Yeah I was only hoping for 320rwkw+

Rev limiter will be set to ~7,800 to 8,000rpm pending so will sure be interesting.

Trent thinks ~400rwkw

Might have to ask for a detune otherwise be too scared to boot it :mellow:

What did I tell you ;)

it replaces wasteland for past couple years.....

oh yeah

Mods fk off
hypergear turbos are boring
D1R's crack if you drive over a speed bump
E85 is only good for moonshine

OH and any-one who travels outside AU is a loser.

What's better? Faster? Crisper? Gentler?

Picking up this weekend, will be pinching keys quite quickly

beauty of it all being electronics, you can leave standard gentle and slippy, and get him to make sport a bit more savage for when you want a go :P

his contact info should be on the site and he lives in melbs, can tune the engine and trans and has a fairly pimp evo 10 too.

also, if the service history doesnt show any services to the auto trans, SERIOUSLY look into getting the fluid and filter changed if more than 40,000km then do it every 40,000km after for a long happy trans life.

You've driven mine, at 270rwkw it only just hangs on to 2nd gear with quality 265 tyres and the 1.5 way. E85 powered turbos come on fast and strong; you'll definitely want those 285s! I'm still very happy with my power for a street car; no desire to upgrade or change it.

That being said, a good right foot controls how much boost you get, so you can always go all out on the tune (within the limits of the clutch) and train that foot. Are you going to have a separate 98 tune or is yours a flex tune?

Gearbox tolerance for power is a piece of string...plenty of people pushing your power levels through these boxes safely; they handle a lot. Others can break the a box with standard power. This is where not so grippy tyres and a soft clutch are your best friends.

What did you tell me :/

I don't know about Aaron, but I certainly told you to just E85 the SS2 :P

Oh well, if you can find a way to get traction...maybe wait for 4th gear...should be epicly quick.

Dd you ever think 'ok. That thing is cursed and if better move it on for something else?' at some stage?

Yes, the previous owners of this car and my daily are both dead. There is a running joke that the cars ARE cursed and they break until you sell them, then they kill you after and it continues.

I've had it 6 and a half years, and done 25,000ish kms. Its supposed to be a daily doing ~40km a day :P

Also the tow cost $532.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
