Anyone Heard Of Crown Engine Wa ? In Canning Vale ?
bubba replied to danny14's topic in Western Australia
Grant @ Per4manz put me onto a mob in Kewdale (will have to find out what they're called), got my crank welded up and machined there and will probably get the next bottom end built there. -
Yeah turned across in front of me, had time to wash off maybe 5kmh then ploughed into his back left door/wheel/quarter and punted him around into a traffic light pole hard enough to send his sub flying 20m down the road!
-
+1 for Kermit but some other options might be Rotomotion, Briffa Engineering, Embleton Engineering, and possibly even Mettams Mufflers in Morley as I hear they do a lot of performance work.
-
Can you chuck up a pic of the setup please mate?
-
Start it and drive it, ECU's have a cold start function for a reason, just don't load it up until things are nice and warm and that includes the driveline! If it takes a few minutes to reach your maximum oil pressure then you have problems.. on cold start I've got 100psi within seconds of the engine firing

Thought I'd offer this goodie up for sale in the national area, took me a while to find it and now thanks to a knobhead P-plater, it's up for sale (don't ask about the GTR sticker, it came from Japland like that and I didn't feel like cracking it open to remove) Item is located in WA and the price is $550 shipped, firm.

Cheers Matt

I've destroyed a couple of 20 boxes Umm.. A P-plater tried to make the gap across a set of lights in front of me but failed miserably I'd only just got all the teething problems with the new setup sorted and wasn't far from winding some boost into it and getting it tuned

Very nice! Makes me rather sad

merry xmas bro, stay safe!

I've just looked into this and my parts guy reckons the early 34 GT's are 12mm bolts and the later ones are 14mm. Luckily for me I run adapter brackets so re-drilling/tapping for 14mm is a non-issue. If I was the OP, I would be going for 32R or 33GTSt brakes over the 32gtst (sell your 32gtst brakes to some silvia guy and buy some 33gtst).

^^ same

I did the welshplug mod to the tiptronic in my Stagea and for a mildly modded car that was struggling big time on the 1-2 shift it made a WORLD of difference but wasn't overly harsh in anyway. The pretty much instant 1-2 shift makes for good times when the old bus starting spinning the tyres

Super happy fun sideways time will shortly ensue!
-
Hmm ok then, scratch that idea
-
There is an easy and cheap way to do a simple shift kit that any auto-trans place should be capable of doing.. Drop the pan, remove the 1-2 and 2-3 shift accumulator pistons & springs from the valve body, replace with welsh plugs (50mm IIRC).

Are you sure? or are they self calibrating? The Innovates we use require calibrating every so often, you have to take them out of the dump pipe and calibrate in clean air or you get quite bizarre readings.

6.0 L L98 Swap Into R33 - Rb26/30 On Stand
bubba replied to stomper's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Happy dynos aside, if they run it up before and after and there is a 90-100kW difference, that's all that matters.. not the actual final figure. -
My understanding is that A2A is better for sustained loads whereas W2A is more effective on a street car with short bursts of WOT. Sustained thrashing with W2A will eventually heatsoak the system and start doing more bad than good.

CP do make twincam specific pistons, pretty much everybody does nowadays.. on the spool website he lists DOHC RB30 pistons for 8.2:1 and 9:1 CR.

R34 Sway Bars Whiteline
bubba replied to Addicted2BoostR34's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Huge bang-for-buck upgrade for ANY car. A set of decent swaybars will do more for your cars handling than a set of coilovers. -
Balanced on or off the car? my guess is they balanced off the car, then fitted rims up with spacers which has thrown the balance out. I also wouldn't be letting a franchise wheel/tyre mob anywhere near my cars.

Of course the people love it, it is their wagon.
