So are you going to bring it to Texi in June?

And some of these expensive batteries, all it takes is one full drain to kill 'em. I had the same thing happen to my Red Top. Next time I'm just getting a big sealed unit from Big-W. Cheaper in the end even if I have to replace it every two years.

My current battery I bought one a UPS sealed jobbie off a guy here on the forums. Not bad, but could use a bit more current.

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

this is the website/ebay place I got it from

http://stores.ebay.com.au/ALL-PURPOSE-BATTERIES-ONLINE/12-volt-batteries-/_i.html?_fsub=134846119&_sid=230461229&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

they have actual store in Smeaton grange, go to the lithium batteries section in the left column, super start or ultra lite

the one I have I have let go dead 4-5 times now, I keep forgetting to undo the isolation connection on the terminal, charged it and take car for a drive and it's still working

and I most certainly want a ride in this monster :D

Talking to Yavuz today. He wants to try and squeeze 500 out of this setup. Airbox in place. He reckons there is a little left in it. Lets see how the little Turk goes. I don't think it'll get there

You may have to run this engine in operating hours

The amount of fuel Yavuz uses I'm sure it's safe. I have always said " I don't want it unless I can belt it around a track". It's not a one run screamer! That 472 is only after 9 runs from a totally new ECU. It's hardly "the finished product".

I Don't see why it won't be capable of 500rwkw

I had 1 2860r-5 on my sr and it made 251rwkw at Unigroup on 21psi dropping to 19psi and he thought itll make more power on more boost

SR versions are different to RB26 versions. We have a smaller rear housing.

I simply fail to understand this? 472rwkw is a sh!t load already.

Stop wasting time with the dyno, spend the money on new tyres, battery, diff or whatever it is that you need to drive it and enjoy it Paul!

are the v-spec and non v-spec diffs the same width ?, I thought not cause I was expecting to change the CVs as well but I could be wrong

Some guys you need shafts, others say you don't. I'm a little confused myself.

When I get the housing and diff centre (this week hopefully) ill take it to Award and plonk it on the table.

You shouldn't need to do shafts, the diffs are same width hub to hub and the shafts are the same length.

Just finished sorting out A-LSD delete in a mates 33gtst using a non vspec gtr diff so had everything there to compare.

The sperm whale got strapped to the rollers tonight. Light load tuning of the E85 tune then Yavuz worked his way down to PULP. Final figure on PULP was 425 at 23 psi top end (25 early on). It was making close to 435 but he backed it off. Final cold start on 98 tomorrow, drain tank and one or two more runs on E85. Yavuz brought back the tune on E85 a bee's dick just to make sure it's a happy camper. He said around 460 it should make.

Pick up is tomorrow :D.

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      Custom titanium intake

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
