Merli

23 years old. Owns a GTR. Lost licence twice already. Still on P's from previous licence suspension (I assume). Then goes and does it again... Amazing. We all speed now and again, but the smarter people with more evolved brains don't speed at such speeds to risk losing their licence if they're caught... Obviously you haven't reached this stage of evolution yet... 30-45 over in a 110 zone sometimes isn't that stupid, but why would you risk it? $565 would get you to 3-4 trackdays where you can go as fast as you want with no risk of licence loss... Not exactly a hard choice is it? They should have much harsher penalties for repeat offenders (read: morons who don't learn) like multiple year suspensions and community service. Can I ask why the hell you thought to come down to NSW to do this?

Congratulations!

Can you post pics of the Pirelli P Zeros please? I'd like to see how much tread is left... Cheers, Andrew.

As I was saying in the other thread, Men's Gallery is a much classier establishment than the dodgy-ass Kings X clubs (Porkys, etc, whatever else there is there) you're used to Tony

That wasn't from lack of torque, a Z06 Corvette has about 3 times the torque of your GT-T It's because he was a complete dumbass and backed down the ramp so far that his rear bumper touched the water.. and then his taillights... and then his boot... and then his rear tyres which then proceeded to float, eliminating ALL chance of salvation as they're RWD cars and the front wheels couldn't pull the car back up the ramp... No chance of that happening with a GTR :)

To me, being low mounts, it suggests that they are meant for light tune, stock capacity RB26s... Whether or not that constitutes "misleading advertising" or not is something we could talk about until the cows came home. Fact is, before I had even read anything official from HKS about the GT-RS, I had people telling me that "oh there's the duck's guts" and promised everything the 2540s were meant to be and so much more... I remember quotes of "Oh they'll spool faster than 2540s and make more top end"... Well now I can think back and say "What a load of rubbish."... 20/20 hindsight From those (uninformed) reports, I guess I formed an opinion in my mind that they were light tune upgrades and suited for stock capacity RB26s... I'd bet my house on the fact that that's what led the first GTR-owner pioneers when they ordered their GT-RS turbos... Not information from HKS, rather the promise from uninformed sources that they were worth their weight in gold.

What's that? You're changing your name to Santa this year?

Can I please get confirmation on what date I should expect my Sea-Doo delivery?

There are setting knobs on the back to set what boost level you want to run on each of the low and high settings.

meshmesh, can you buy me one too whilst you're at teh Sea-Doo dealer?

Absolutely that would be fair!! Why do you think it wouldn't be fair? Whatever, you're just proving what the turbos are capable of. If they need a 3100cc engine to work optimally, then so be it! I never said that. Please don't assume that everyone on these forums are just concerned about peak power, I'm much more interested in area under the curve, so that's quite insulting that you reduce me to such simple mindedness... And you say that because the GT-RS are a low mount turbo, it's a light tune. How's that? In Japan, "Light tune" means any modification that doesn't involve building the engine. I could strap on a twin GT3240 kit on my stock RB26 without touching internals... Do you then classify that as a light tune, or do you say I'm stupid for using those particular turbos without the engine to support them? Why can't you say the same for people using GT-RS on standard RB26s? Just because they're low-mounts, it doesn't mean that they work best with standard RB26s... The results we have all seen suggest otherwise. I'm not sure if you read the GTROC UK forum, but they went through these same conversations about 6 months-1 year ago and only realised good results from the GT-RS with bored and stroked engines 2.8L and above... If that's what the turbos need to work efficiently, then so be it. They're simply too big for 2.6L... Doesn't mean that they're crap now does it?

Why should all that be listed? I would take all that for granted if you're bolting on GT-RS turbos to your engine. You'd EXPECT the engine that they're bolted on to be a fully built and balanced engine, and most probably bored and stroked as well. Remember we're talking about HKS's largest low mount turbo upgrade here, rated at 700ps, with the next step up being twin high mounted GT2835Rs. Also, I don't think it matters what the engine has had done to it. The more the better, as that's showing the TRUE potential of the turbos. All those mods aren't necessary, but help let the turbos run more efficiently and produce what they're capable of. In fact, I would go as far as saying if you DIDN'T have all that, THEN you should state as much, so we would realise that you're not pushing the turbos to their true potential. Not the other way around like you're suggesting.

Holy fark dude... I was kidding!!! HAHAHAAHAHA!!!

Oh, and WORST PHOTOS EVAR!!!!!11

Tutorial: 1. Add nitrous 2. Well... that's about it really Lesson learnt: Nitrous RULES!!!

bling bling

50hp jet should be fine

I love how they claim it's a Top Secret car, just because it's gold It's not even the right shade of gold for fcuk's sake!!!!!!!

Changing jets is cheap (they're only little brass restrictors), and most workshops will allow you to try different jet sizes to see which one you want... I can guarantee that you'll go as big as you can, and end up with the 50hp jet

Remember that nitrous jet sizings are rated @ wheels on a naturally aspirated car. These gains are amplified on a turbo car.. So: 50hp shot would result in a 50hp@wheels gain on a civic. 50hp shot would result in a 75-ish hp@wheels gain on a turbo skyline You can use either... I've used both wet and dry systems on my cars... Depends how big a shot you want to go and how big your injectors are... For you, I'd suggest a wet kit

Ahhhh... I see by "also shows the results seen here are nothing..." you mean seen here as in SAU, I thought you meant the HKS page Those graphs aren't too much use as they don't show the curves in relation to the stock turbos, so they look fine as they are, but if you overlaid the stock turbo graph on top of that GT-RS one, you'd see just how much bottom end you're losing. Even just looking at that GT-RS curve, it looks abysmal for bottom end response... But then again that might suit some people... Depends what you're after really Also that GT-RS graph is run at 1.8 bar :wassup:

Yep, stock computer will be fine... Engine will be fine, just stick to a 50hp shot or less...

That works just fine, but make sure you screw in a little plug to plug off the end of that nitrous line to contaminants don't get in there... I think cops will still be very testy if they find the nitrous bottle in your boot, so I never ever drive around with it in my boot unless I'm headed to the drags. The less ammo you give the cops the better IMHO. Kinda... What you want is for it to only come on at WOT (full throttle)... So you can either use an electronic output from your ECU (if you have microtech, autronic or something like that) or just hook up a microswitch onto your throttle body that turns on at full throttle. If you have it hooked up like that, just don't go 100% throttle unril you hit your desired rev point (usually 3000rpm) EASY!

No, if you just wanted to spray, definitely use the cheaper CO2. But you realise that it isn't illegal to have nitrous INSTALLED in your car right? It's only illegal to have to bottle hooked up in your car whilst driving on public roads. Just use the car as normal when driving, and when you hit the drag strip, hook that baby up and see those times drop like an anchor! Just ask 2rismo Where you might come to grief is that your insurance company might not like that idea (some do, some don't)... Most people don't tell their insurance about nitrous But it's PERFECTLY legal to have installed in your car.
