]']overtaking lane is for people overtaking not people cruising

Yeah, I had a run-in with a Mercedes station-wagon who refused to get the fcuk out of the right lane, even though he had a line of cars banked up behind him.

Bloody sunday drivers :chairshot

I just wanted to put in a big public thanks to Jaala, Mel, Jodie, Kel, Duncan, Andrew, Dan, Neil, Jase (and cousin - Dion?), Christian, Ian, Mitch, Mars, Nick and anyone else I've forgotten.

Also thanks for coming to all of the entrants and thanks for the thanks from everyone too.

Rukus - we did try to give out that sort of award. We gave some APX Lightweight wheel nuts to someonstolecc for best drift damage, about 10 tshirts, stickers and other bits and pieces for other random things.

There was only supposed to be one prize for each category but with R33 GTST on first count there was a tie with ULOOOK and MPH459 so www.fueltank.com.au donated an APX Titanium gear knob for second prize. 1st prize was a Turbosmart Stealth series BOV. I didn't realise until today that Malcolms car was only one point behind in third place. It goes to show the quality we had.

There's gotta be some photos of VNOM somewhere.  That car was awesome.  It was a show stopper without an engine bay redo, imagine what it would have done otherwise.

ye it was nice

faves of mine were CYIFLY and the black r32 gtr with the single turbo (i think it was a t51r?)

    • Honestly: Buy a name brand turbo. Garrett or Borg Warner. Anything else you will be chasing "but why doesn't mine end up like the dyno graphs the sellers post?" Buying a brand name turbo gets your result right where other people with the same turbo experience. Also, 600whp in any country - expect your engine to become a consumable. If you're okay with that and can plan for that then all the power to you. Also consider your clutch will suck and your grip will be less than stellar. Aim at 450whp. You'll have a better car and more fun actually using it, and it'll probably be faster for every scenario with the one exception being drag launching it on drag radials at a drag strip where you might be a tenth faster. Sincerely, Wiser, cooler heads.  
    • I've driven it around "in da hooodd" and it seems ok, have driven it around with the A/C on as well to generate more heat. So far no leaks. Yet to do a long drive OR a track day in it, so both will be the tests. I think if I were to do it again, I would just plumb the water return straight into the intake manifold's bleed ports (un-used) on the top side, noting that I have an aftermarket one. I hope this works well, because I cannot be fked working on the car ever again     In terms of your usual highflow kit, I would just return the water to the hardline behind the head.
    • I know. It was there when I bought it, I don't know if I hate the scrape or the totally wrong coloured "touch up" paint more. I do plan to fix that when I can build up enough confidence 🤣
    • Do you have a link to the kit you bought? I don't have anything helpful to contribute other than suggesting to make sure that you do it right. It's a pain now, but it will be even more of a pain down the line if you have to fix it again. I've been ignoring a small leak on that return line fitting in my car. Still weighing up what to do with it. Jonny @Dose Pipe Sutututu has routed it back to the front of the engine to make it less painful. See this and following comments in his build thread. Not sure how it has been holding up since though.  
    • Awesome! Thank you for the confirmation. We’ll see if anyone has experience with HyperGear, Pulsar, or other turbo brands with good response and overall power.    After more research, I’m leaning towards the HyperGear ATR43SS3 ProR with .63 turbine. This a dyno graph from an RB25DET Neo with following mods: • 1650cc injectors • adaptronic plug-in ECU • 600x300x81mm Intercooler • 3in exhaust  • 4in downpipe  • R35 GTR Coilpacks  • twin scroll manifold  • twin 50mm wastegate    What do you think?
