im back! im all good, just got 2 jobs on the gold coast this morning, got a place to live, it all systems go!!

hola hombres

I work on friday too. Bit of a weird time for a cruise me thinks (is it a holiday in qld on friday?)....

yeah - i don't think i'll be going for a hi-flow unit. probably a HKS of some kind..... It all depends on what you want to do with it eh.

lol

GCG do hi-flow exchanges for about 2200, but im sure you could get it done for alot cheaper than that at another place....

Chef_32 - very nice idea. It might need some strengthening but would be a very cheap alternative to the others. Driveshafts might need to be modded too.

Not sure if i can come, got -2 points left on my license. oops

If gentle on the highway at 110 - 580km Around town on 8psi - 400km BP Ultimate - R33

I'm not sure about the cost of upping it to 2.4L. I'd imagine you'd de-stroke an RB25 crank, or stroke an RB20, but it might be too much of a reach for the RB20 crank, and i'm not sure about what rods you'd need to use as well.... The RB30 block is about 25mm higher than the RB25. If your using the stock R32 GTSt ECU I guess a remap would be fine for most combinations. I would go for something very revvy and responsive: 1) Hi-flow the R34 turbo 2) re-map the ECU 3) fuel system thats if the drivetrain and handling is all good. -rb25

What Roy say....

I changed mine at 80thou and it looked like it had done more work than that. Don't trust the km's on the motor.... So take the CAS off and the cam gear cover off and have a look at it, if its even a little bit dodgy change it. What people forget is that these cars spent alot of time idling, and sitting in traffic in japan. That and the fact that the odometers are wound back.....

rs73 - you can get some heat shield from century foam and rubber.

you could hi-flow the stock turbo, that way it bolts straight back on, no mods to water, oil lines etc...

I've got some Castrol Syntrax to put in this weekend. Hoping its better than the Redline Ultra Lightweight, its shocking.....

I've done tests with a pod filter and partition with the stock air duct feeding into the partitioned space. I'll post results like Robo's did: 1) the temps stablise at 60+ even in heavy traffic (not 100) 2) pod does get warmer by 5deg when you slow down a bit. but cools down again, as long as your over 60km/h 3) POD's temperature rises straight away at the traffic lights by a massive 25deg. on idle for 3 minutes, not 5deg. it took 7 minutes of driving at 70km/h to lose the heat soak. 5) travelling on the freeway with 2 quick bursts in 3rd, saw the pod drop by 3deg., not rise 5deg. Driving on full boost saw the pod actually drop in temp. I think the important test is plenum and intercooler temps (actual intake temps), not pod temp. This was done on stock boost, stock intercooler, 3" turbo back exhaust. (R33) -rb25

lol - me too

I lost 4 points on sunday docile. I got negative 2 now.... I lost 6 points in one go once too - not a good feeling.

Thanks heaps Jim

i'm hugely interested in this too, i rekon we all could do with another cog up top

lunch

lol - im leaving lennox in 3 weeks I could take her to ipswich and we can laugh at the abos drinking in the park.....

Niz - I'll have to organise something fun to do hey neo

how much of a gain did you notice? what mods you got?

niz - have you been to all the theme parks?
