  1. @ theo and Marlin!!
  2. Sorry mate, I thought you were just joking around with those location details!! :Oops: That's a pity, because your car sounds like one of the most complete 2540 setups I've heard of Would have been great to have you attend the day!
  3. Twin Turbo V8 = KING!!! Sounds like you've got a great setup! Whereabouts do you live? Up for a drive to Melbourne sometime later in the year? We're organising a dyno day for all GTR owners with low mounts upgrades (or power goals in the vicinity of 300-350awkw) so we can dyno them all on the same day, same dyno and stop all the misconceptions once and for all!!! Should be a great day, I think I'll drive down, and truck the car back home
  4. If you want a nice street driven GTR, I would think the R34 N1s would be awesome! Go bigger and chase mid 11s, and you'll get more lag... Personally I think stock GTRs are too laggy as they are standard... 4000rpm is WAY too late for boost to kick in for a street driven car IMHO. So going for 2540s (bad idea) would reduce boost threshold until about 5000rpm. Is that what you want??? The problem is that everyone has different definitions on what they think a "street car" is... Personally I want torque... LOTS AND LOTS of torque, and as early as possible. To be honest I couldn't give a sh1t what my peak power figure was. For a street car you should be aiming for a fat, plump, even OBESE area under your power curve, starting from as low down in the rev range as you can get it.
  5. :werd: Power under the curve >>>>>>>> Peak power dyno queens. No, the reason FLYBYE lost wasn't due to no traction, it was due to a power curve that resembles* this: * A tiny bit of artistic licence has been employed in the attached diagram
  6. So 303rwkw... That would correllate quite well with jezzrrr's 285awkw... If anything, that would translate to LESS than 285awkw Yet you run 128mph, and jezzrrr runs 118mph. jezzrrr: Do you see now, why people think that your reading is a little optimistic? Couple that to the fact that peak power means nothing... I just heard about a certain race between FLYBYE (making in excess of 400awkw) and a 270awkw WRX in a 600m standing start race at Bathurst (can't remember the event, I'm sure others will), and the WRX beat FLYBYE, as well as another GTR of Domenic Russo (Autostyle) lighting up the dyno with more than 400awkw :Oops:
  7. Did anyone tape it? or capture it? I only caught the last 15 mins
  8. pentae: I think you hit a sensitive spot with Krzysiu
  9. Performance stickers are the DEFINITION of rice "Rice" is the undertaking of modifications that do not actually increase the performance of his car by any significant amount, but rather, try to give the appearance of high-performance. Have a read of the website from the guy who INVENTED the word. http://www.riceboypage.com/ I quote:
  10. AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! They just showed Kelly hitting the cone at the end of the skidpan
  11. Doesn't look right. Square front end and rounded rear end =
  12. Paint Codes for BNR34 TV2 : Bayside Blue QM1 : White KR4 : Sonic Silver KV2 : Athlete Silver GV1 : Black Pearl AR2 : Active Red EV1 : Lightning Yellow LV4 : Midnight Purple II LX0 : Midnight Purple III WV2 : Sparkling Silver QX1 : White Pearl EY0 : Sillica Breath JW0 : Millennium Jade I'm pretty sure it's Midnight Purple III that you want, but check to make sure
  13. Doesn't sound to me like you've learned anything with your past 3 licence suspensions I guess some people just don't get it :Oops: edit: very nice car Hope you get your power/weight ratio issue sorted... And in case you didn't get it before, stop speeding on the roads, and you'll draw less attention to yourself... Amazing isn't it!!!!
  14. Put it up on: www.carsales.com.au www.drive.com.au www.carpoint.com.au Remember it's a buyer's market, so you'll only get what someone is willing to pay for it. e.g. Say your GTiR is worth $25,000, but no-one is in the market for one. Everyone looking for a performance hatchback would prefer to buy a WRX hatch for the same price. There is only one guy interested, and he's thinks your car is worth $20,000. Well you can either accept the lower value, or keep the car and wait for the right buyer to come along and pay what the car is really worth. Warning: you might be waiting upto 6 months to sell your car if you're waiting for the right buyer to come along. Good luck!
  15. What was your terminal speed on the 11.9 run jezzrrr?
  16. Okay, I'll get in on this one. I'll take: 1x Oil Cap (Old Style) - $120 1x Low Temperature Thermostat - $110 1x GT Titanium Gearknob - $210 PM me your bank account details
  17. You could always install a thicker headgasket and decompress the engine, but if he's only going to be running 7psi max, then I wouldn't bother. Already covered by Roy, restrictive exhaust is a bad idea... Have it as free flowing as you can get it. As for the idea of a restrictive intercooler, what purpose does that serve? So your turbo will spool upto blowing 7psi of pressure, but the intercooler creates a 4psi drop, so you're only getting 4psi at the intake plenum... What does that do? Well your boost controller is asking for 7psi at the intake plenum, so now your turbo has to blow 11psi to make 7psi at the intake plenum. Restrictive intercooler doesn't sound like too great an idea now does it
  18. sharing's caring!
  19. Is this Stacey or her pit-bitch? Why are you two chumps sharing an account anyway? It's free to register :uhh: Time to go get your own account pit-bitch!
  20. How do you know that he didn't send them and Australia Post lost them?? It's not like that's the first time that would have happened. The reason I ask is that Chris (g00kboi) had an email confession from DESCR8 with him admitting that he didn't have the turbo to send to him, nor the money to refund him. This is why I always try to send via Registered Mail so I have proof that I sent the goods...
  21. Wait until it appears in your account.
  22. As soon as I start uploading pics to the gallery, you remove the random images on the main page
  23. Don't lie... We all know you Teletech people went to Maccas
