1. 1983 Mazda 626 - slug, but never let me down. Cramped.

2. 1992 Mazda 626 - even slower! awful gearbox, crap motor, smoothish ride, had air-con at least...

3. 1996 EF Falcon - much better to drive, pretty reliable until I did a head gasket.. lots of single legger burnouts

4. 1992 Soarer GTTL - mines, ecu, 3inch dump back, trust springs, mines ecu, GCG turbos @ 14psi, Torsen LSD - freakn rocket ship, blew diffs like no tomorrow (went through 3 of them)

5. 1973 XB Falcon Coupe - my baby, bought it for $900 when I was 15 and still own it. 351, 750dp, 2v close chambers, big hydro cam, tricked C4, 3000 stall, 3.7s 9inch Detroit tru-trak

6. 2003 350GT coupe - bought it only 3 months ago. TIen springs, 19s, exhaust, JWT popcharger, plenum spacer going on next week

1 - 1988 R31 Skyline - hand me down, first car, you know how it is ;-)

2 - 1988 R31 Skyline - 1 owner grandpa car, ended up painted, turbo'd, R34 brakes, coilovers, work wheels etc

3 - 1988 R31 Skyline - death trap - forged RB30ET with GT35/40 and manualised auto w/3k stall. did a 12.6 and but nearly killed me one night as the stock brakes were so bad I went straight through a red light intersection trying to pull it up.

4 - 1994 Lexus LS400 - VIP'd with coilovers, deep dish Leon Hardiritt's and Jap exhausts

5 - 2001 Stagea RS4-s - Good mods, good suspension, good wheels, great car - BAD fuel bills.

6 - 2001 BMW 525 Msport - awesome car, looked great, rode nice - but no power and stressful to own wondering what was going to break next!

7 - 2008 Mazda MPS - 200kw atw and over 400nm of torque through the front wheels. Little rocket ship that surprsises everyone. But close range 6 speed is a nightmare in traffic - currently for sale.

8 - 2006 V35 Coupe......that's the plan!

    • 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:
