Yes but they are gtrawkw

So that's like an extra 40% power in the real world yeah?

Mini Cooper s convertible was adamant on dragging the Gloria one quiet Sunday morning. Rolling back and forward at the lights, revving the motor etc. Auto and low down torque make it a piece of cake to launch, after that the mini never gained any ground. He pulled up beside me grinning, trying to exchange a glance or something? Tint was too dark, so he couldn't see shit lol #VIP #eadc

At least... it's also faster in all situations despite the extra weight over a gtst.

LOL

For some reason there were only 2 cars that HAD to try it on when I had the 33... Cooper S and golf GTI/R

Some dude in a cooper S tried it on once to impress some blonde bimbo in the passenger seat, I held it level with him for a bit of fun until about half way through second... gave him a toot, gave the 33 a clutch kick and left him in the rear view... At the next set of lights on the private road the look on his face was priceless... pure rage.... and the bimbo was almost in tears laughing

I could hear turbo spool so could have been turbo swapped and was sporting an exhaust.

Probably flash tuned though for dat fuel economy.

The JCW minis are factory turbo

Mate of mine has a modded one, bit strange considering he's a great bloke

the ones that are offset by the lack of VCT?

Better plenum, head flows better than GTS-T, generally makes torque earlier on than a GTS-T which makes close to 300kw. Not sure why you think a GTR 9 times out of 10 isn't going to be faster than a GTST with similar power.

What about this guy

Hamish is probably refering to track times on the basis of 4wd and higher weight vs rwd and lighter weight if all else being equal

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
