The bonnet is shut. :P

Haha

But it does stand out and makes it look even bigger.

I am tempted to get it done locally, going to see another mob tomorrow and see what they have to say, should at least be interesting :)

Go twin 3"

Exhaust sits higher (avoids defects), flows better however its more expensive and heavier

It's a single, not low mount twins. Lol

I'm sure a 3.5 or 4 inch will be more than enough.

Hi Pete can't believe the things I've read and seen mate UNBELIEVABLE! I really feel sorry for you :(

Have you had an explanation on why they made such a tiny exhaust?

IF you are coming to Sydney again id gladly knock you up something REAL nice. I can shoot you some pics of my work if you're interested ;)

Thats a great offer, love to see some pics of your work, How long does it take to do something like that. I would have to get the down pipe and Cat sorted before I give it to the builder or get them to do it before they can really fix the farked tune , thanks for the offer, I do not know what to do at the moment :/

My problem is I am a single Dad and have no other family here where I live and the kids have to go to school etc. When I drive down and if it is going to take longer than a day or 2 at the most, I have to fly back. So each of these trips cost me about $800 return.

This is why I try and get everything done at the same place at the same time, seems it is not working out real good,haha

I feel the build is so close to being finished but with a lot of nagging problems that need fixing and the builder has to fix the ones that I feel are his responsibility and I need to give them a chance to sort this shit out.

Mick_O , no one explains anything because I think it could be like admitting that they caused a problem, no one in business likes to give themselves up and take responsibility for a fault and they try to dodge the bullet :)

If it's still losing water and it's not obvious where from, it'll probably be staying with them more than one day.

Sure will, just hope that is an easy one to find or it could get ugly.

I will drop it off and if they think they can do it in 2 or 3 days I might be able to have the girls looked after and stay in Sydney until it is done , but I do not like using people up with this type of thing as there can be more important reasons for asking for a favour.

Disable the car and chuck it on the back of a transport truck and deliver it to them. Job done and no favours asked.

Haha, you jest !

Do it that way and it would be tucked down the back somewhere until " they had time to look at it "

I will wait until they have the time and then give it to them :)

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • 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.
