Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

Between 2k - 3K? Yeah right.

BTW Mick, I fixed what you blew up the other week, backed it out and have it some

[Marko R1]

V8s are great down low but once u hit 5krpm, the show is over. Quite a narrow powerband when u think about it

[Ants]

why are we discussing V8s? Paulies sperm whale would fkn destroy 95% of all V8's out there!

[Marko R1]

Where are the other 5%? I'd like to see that

[XKLABA]

Yeah sorry that's my bad, A v8 is what was said and my father in law has A v8 and Paul makes more rwkws at 3000 then that v8 makes peak at the fly

That said spend the kind of coin I guesstimate Paul has making his the machine it is to a V8 and between 2-3000 rpm you'd be pissin in the wind trying to match it

[Ants]

Where are the other 5%? I'd like to see that

twas just a guestimate Marko but you know what I meant

[Mick_o]

Thanks Moose .

A V8 is always gonna feel better low down on the street though. That's just how it is. It's definately nippy .

Haha nippy! You been hanging around me too long! My baby 270kw Evo is nippy the sperminator bitch slaps you in the forehead when she comes on!

Now that's my idea of a vl turbo

ye...no

Wow at VL!

[Marko R1]

Almost a shame putting that engine in a vl and that is coming from former vl owner...what a piece of engineering!

[Piggaz]

Nice pins..

The suspension isnt bad either

[Piggaz]

So, the dampers arrived but Dejan didn't order the pillow tops as he thought we would reuse my current ones. Only issue is, how do I sell my Nismo's without tops? Errrr. So new Bilstien ones were ordered.... Wern't cheap. Now, just my luck, the guy that assembled the dampers wants to put these tops on. Something to do with the height of something (not sure why Dejan can't put them on but anyway....). This guy however is on a flight to god knows where and won't be back till Tuesday. Grrrrr

So now the plan is, install everything on Wednesday, modify the HICAS lockout bar to move up then point the wheels in the right direction on Thursday.

Just got home after unbeaching the whale off Unigroup's shores.

Suspension feel's incredible. It's on number 2 of 8 or 9. Soaks up bumps and stuff with ease. Very progressive in how it breaks traction too. You can almost "feel" when its about to go. On hard breaking, the nervous and wandering around rear end is gone completely! Having said that, there was a few little geometry changes which would have helped eliminate that.

We ended up with spring rates of 14 kg/mm on the front and 9 kg/mm at the rear. Feels softer (and definately more compliant) than the Nismo S Tunes I had in there a few years ago.

The car is sitting fractionally lower than what it was before, but, no problems over speed humps and driveways. Thank god! I made sure Dejan knew it's not a time attack/track pig!
