So, does anyone else find it interesting. The top two cars for the day were #9 and #5.

#9 was the Lance in his Dark R33 GTR with the white LMGT1's a prime example of a beautifully modified GTR.

#5 was ~Anna~ in her essentially stock MX5

Just goes to show that you don't need $1000's in a modified high power car to perform well at Texi. Well done to both.

Yes, I'm familiar with the GTR. Has a fair bit. Can't remember the power figure but pretty sure is north of 300kw. Also that Kakimoto zorst sounds horn. Last time I ran against him in my 33, he beat me every time (he can steer too!).

So, who wants to see some texi results? :whistling:

Why not head over to the BRAND NEW SAU NSW Website and check them out!

You'll find them in the "Leaderboard" section!

Well done on the website Eric, great initiative mate

Hi Guys & Gals, awesome day & as usual well run & organised, so big up's to those dedicated few that donated their time. Personally I think that was the best Texi yet as I'm sure no one could complain about a shortage of time on the skid pan!

Definately most fun I've had learning to do heli's :no:

I've owned my car for 5 years & love that I can still continue to push the boundary's of both my ability & the car's ability. Bring on the next Texi.

Watched BMY.74G GTR pull away about 10 times so far, so clean and smooth, :yes:

And watching the red GT (Agro's car????) made it look easy.

Might make an appearance next texi, i've been away from texi for long enough.

Skill level seems much improved from years back as well.

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
