  1. Buy something cheap, like an 80 series cruiser. And shove a Barra turbo in it. From memory get Barra after June 2006, and it'll happily make 500kw. So then wind the boost in, injectors, FMIC, and go rip skids. Even better run the ZF6 gearbox and turn the cruiser RWD just for the drag racing Lols. I reckon you can easily get a 80 series into the low 12s in that combo.
  2. I haven't had LEDs in a skyline however I replaced the low beam in the cruiser. My initial result: My high beam became basically useless. The lows were awesomely bright and I loved them. The highbeam lotto no further down the road, and only lit more of the tree tops that were close by (adjusted properly). The only way I got to see further was to turn the light bar on. The end result: about twelve months later one dimmed and the other died completely. I pulled both out and have halogens back in there. Why do I have halogens: they were cheap and I needed them immediately. The lights I had were cheap eBay ones. $40 for both. I am however about to order a set through a supplier from work who make the LEDs we're now sticking on trains as their new headlamps etc. So these are a quality unit, direct replacement globe, with no need for head sinks etc on them. PS I'm sick of the shit halogens in my cruiser!!! Oh I also never had an issue with the cops up here, and that included when they went on a 4WD blitz!
  3. I used to be a top loader guy, then I got a front loader. Will not go back to top loader.
  4. Looks mad, how many Litres/KG of load so you get with that washer? Have you thought of tuning it a bit to get some more spins out of it?
  5. Sames, though occasionally I disappear for large chunks of time and can come back to only 50 new posts...
  6. That explains it more for me. Thanks
  7. If that's the case, you'd get a drop in power as RPm increases. This has a drop in power AND rpm meaning it had to slow, right? RPM is measured, graph trace left to right is increasing, to get a loop, rpm had to go right to left, meaning it dropped. That's what I don't understand.
  8. If it's a hub dyno, are you saying the dyno is forcefully slowing the rpm of the engine after a power spike? I'm legit curious on this BTW.
  9. Is the rpm reading coming from a calculation on the roller speed or a sensor off the engine? The only time I've encountered an issue with ramp rate and having issues was actually that the dyno couldn't keep up with the tyres, at that point power just dropped as the tyres were wheel spinning on the dyno. When this happened neither the retarder or the engine rpm dropped like the graph is showing happened. I understand it giving the jittery issue above that, but not a drop in rpm.
  10. On the fuel tank, where the large black ring screws down to keep the fuel pump in, there is a big ring gasket, how much delivered to 4300?
  11. I'm curious, why the drop in rpm and hence power/torque on the graphs? It's like you back off after starting the run and then hit it again yet your torque/power never gets back up there. It's a solid drop in 25kw from what I can make out when it does it.
  12. When you say hitting the dyno, I'm assuming you're tuning it to clean up the richness and make it a lot nicer? If tuning, very low 300, but it should be nice and responsive and fun as hell to drive. Will make a wicked fun daily.
  13. Someone needs to make a set of chasers, but with the Chev bowtie instead of the holes all around the edge. Would make a fortune!
  14. Save your money, buy an FG XR6T for 20K, drop 15K on it, run 11s every day, do epic skids, and still have 32k spare...
  15. Why? I'm not advertising it forsale, but I am happy to sell it if someone wants to pay. We're now having a nice friendly chat about skylines.
  16. You know why they name cyclones after women? Because they come in all hot and wet and leave taking your house and car...
  17. How many houses in Sydney will one need to sell for it?
  18. Is Piggaz even selling his, or is it a case of "everything is forsale if the money is right"?
