How much Killer Wasps now? (compared to before?)

with injectors and plenum by themselves

+15 wasps and -3psi boost :)

same Ramp Rate (RR) and Dyno set up as previous run!!@!

overall temp (according to Nismo) but have no way of telling easily is supposedly down 18%

Fuel economy (again according to Nismo) 4% better but bugger all realy I would think.

Plenum is supposedly worth 2-5Kws. So if you haven't got all the fruit then spend your money elsewhere (Suspension, tyres etc..)

Plenum provides an extra litre of air (fact) and reduces the need for the 32 to be tuned so rich for cylinder 5/6.

this ^ is what I have read. SO tech heads, mechs and numpty's who wish to debate - go away and Mass <---

ID 1000's make it easier on your tuner :) besides the other benefits.

Currently running at 55% of fuel pressure capcity, so got some head room left (80% is close to max out)

So I was in sydney yesterday in the stupid 45 degree heat, stuck in traffic.

"hey babe, what is that smell and why is there steam on the front window"

OH BOY!!

Pulled over and found out the top tank was leaking something chronic.

Thankfully I had a mate who was working at just jap who was kind enough to let me buy an alloy radiator over the phone and deliver it out o me with some tools. We got the old one out, as we were putting the new one in we realized the drain bung on mine was in a different place to the alloy one.

Problem?

No worries, worked out we could use one of the plastic cell inspection plugs on my battery and screw it into the radiator.

Filled it up, bled the air out and made it back to Canberra by about midnight with less than 100ml leaking out from the bush mechanic drain plug.

Still hell cheaper than a tow back.

Past few days I've been repairing and prepping a Type M ??? front lip (waaaaaay too windy to paint yesterday), did it today ! Put it on and some of my fiber glassing cracked. :(

But it's on. :thumbsup: Only did it Black but may eventually do it in the KN6 Dark Grey Pearl it should be.

I reckon it looks Phat ! :woot: Just gotta cut n polish it.

Also swapped over to a manual centre console (so I don't have the Auto Power switch hole anymore) and slapped a Skyline H pattern sticker on it.

Pulled out some old wirings and switches I still had in there from the "High Boost Mod". (don't need anymore as I have had an R32 actuator for a while now.)

Question : Is it a legal thing that you Must have the gear pattern visible in the car? as in, on the gear Knob or elsewhere? either way it's there now.

i put them up tomorrow, tyre fitting joint put two of my tyres ( even though they are slicks the have arrows) on the wrong way. so its looking funny atm

trackday with circuit club, just havent been out for awhile - starting to get itchy fingers...

Heres some crappy pics, i get some better one over the wend.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
