Hey guys.

I have jus brought a R32 GTS-T and will have it in two weeks.

It has a 3" cat back exhaust but i muct remove it as it bumps me over the power to weight ration.

So i am looking to swap it for a stock exhuast plus a small cash ajustment.

Anyone interest Pm me.

Please dont ask what brand or anything as i dont have the car yet and dont know exactly.

Mark.

I'll give you a wise piece of advice. If your car in standard form is under the power-to-weight ratio you have mentioned then you are fine to drive it with the 3" exhaust.

Police don't dyno tune your car and say "Sonny, your car is now over the power limit because of your exhaust"

This is a common misconception: provided your car is modified legally you can still drive it on your P Plates. You could have a 1000hp Excel and cops won't get you for power to weight.

read the guidlines on vic roads website for p plate legal cars.

The limit is 125 kw/tonne, and it states any modifications to the vehicle that improove performance, then the car must be re assesed. And i have spoken to them several times about this.

Basicly i wouldnt care about the cops getting me, its the fact my car would be un insured as it would be over the power to weight limit.

      High temp brake fluid?

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?

      Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.

      Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?

      The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.

      I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
