we have a guy is S.A who works on the IT Helpdesk.

He has no arms and picks up the phone with his feet, rests it on his shoulder and then types up the ticket

I expect he uses a headset most of the time but it's amazing just the same

the picture above reminded me of him

[gtr judd]

Get your L's and I'll give you some driving lessons. I got my HR at 19...7 years ago, if I can't teach you a thing or two no one can lol

Have you driven a truck before?

in NSW, dont need ls to start learning.

so long as you have car licence, and teacher has held truck licence for over 2 years, go for gold.

So I'm putting together a rough plan on what I will need to get my R34 to around a safe 250-280rwkw on a low boost and be a true flex fuel car.

What do you guys think, am I missing any parts or do I have any prices wrong?

I'll be trying to find second hand parts for not so important things like exhaust and intercooler but for the injectors etc I'll be buying brand new this time around.

ECU: Adaptronic = $1100

Turbo: High Flow = $900

Injectors: 1000cc = $650

Coil Pack: Split fires = $450

Fuel Pump: Walbro 400L = $180

Intake Pipe: Metal Pipe = $200

Flex sensor: GM sensor = $300

Intercooler: Return Flow = $500

Suspension: BC BR = $1150

Clutch: KB Clutches = $450

Tune: DVS JEZ = $1700

Rough Total = $7850

Bryce I'm calling you out here because you are going down the same road haha

[D.I.Y. Mik]

On the motorsport thread, people have said the BC suspension is cheap, and performs like a cheap one.

Id say they would be fine for the street, but real good stuff is faster on the track.

I guess it depends on what you want to do.

Ps: i went around Wakefield for a couple of laps... so now im a racecar driving expert.

[B-rice]

Not sure how your ECU works but you might need IAT sensor and MAP sensor. Unless if you want to tune with MAF which is restricted up to 250kw with Z32 ones.

Spark plugs

Dump pipe (JJR $215)

High flow Cat (100CELL has least resistance, could get the venom ones on ebay $250)

Turbo lines too but not essential

Get a boost gauge. oil temp gauge know whats going on with your temps at all time. But may not be necessary because if the adaptronic is like a vipec it will probably go into RnR or do something to stop it going on.

you'll need a MAC boost control solenoid. Get the ECU to control the boost and never worry about changing it.
Depending on the size injectors you get you may need a new fuel rail and pressure regulator but the stock has been proved to work up to +400kws.

"Ps: i went around Wakefield for a couple of laps... so now im a racecar driving expert. :laugh:"

Love it

[Manuel Kasko]

Adaptronic does use a map sensor so I can ditch the AFM for this application.

Exhaust will be a JJR but in going to make sure it matches the gasket. I hear they can have some good/poor quality.

As for the BC BR's they will be fine for the street application and occasional track day that I will probably do.

Already also have a greddy profec 2 boost controller which I'll try use depending on what features this adaptronic have. I still have to work out if DVS feels comfortable about tuning with that or if he recommends something different.

Also go the 100cell cat exactly what you recommended a venom one of eBay a few months back;)

You should be able to reuse your Scotty intake pipe too.

[B-rice]

Don't forget good tyres to put the power down.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Who had that rusty coolant pipe problem?

I found this: http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au/Parts-Shop/uas-chrome-molly-upper-radiator-outlet-intake-manifold-76.aspx

I was kind of hoping this would not be the case so I could buy it off him haha

[Trozzle]

Regarding suspension, have a look into how much it'd cost for some good springs and shocks instead of coilovers. Just a thought.

[B-rice]

Yeah Ohlins and Bilstein ftw if I had money but good luck buying those. Without stressing out your wallet. BCs are pretty good for a budget and pretty comfy for street . People have driven mine and think it's a lot softer than theirs Huon etc are my witnesses.

[Manuel Kasko]

I'll possibly use the Scotty porn pipe again and buy one of your stock ones Rob to use on the 33. The pipe needs to be modified a little by Scotty though because it doesn't fit up to factory air box and the hoses run too close to the engine.

Fingers crossed the car might come with some secret goodies but who knows

[Got a Pulsar]

I can provide.

The PORN pipe Scotty made for me does fitup to stock box with the hose ports slightly different to yours.

I'm sure he can tweak it. Or just get a freshy and sell yours to Chris.
