Std Turbo - Yeah - I'll have a look ! Wastgate actuator - nah, that was the first thing they changed.... We are pretty sure the cat is melted, there is a reason for that too, and another reason why the reason for the melted cat is the way it is. It all makes sense when you add it up.... But it was too late to pull the cat off and look at it - Will be done Tuesday. Cheers,

Boostd - I don't understand the groove inlet on the snout thingy... (my small brain). I can't tell from the pic either sorry... I think I need to see in real life or explained with one in fromt of me , for me to understand. BTW - I had a good look at my Exhaust housing yesterday at UAS as they had another one there. The exhaust wheel port had been fully bored out to max, and exhaust wheel fits nicely - no gap at all. The core is 550-600HP garett (same as 3040)..... I think. My compressor housing is T04e (bigger than T04b, I am told) which clears manifold as mine is tubular. All wheels are steel. Compared it to another Garett housing there (dunno which one), and mine is much bigger by the look of it. As side note - I don't think my boost problem isn't surge as the boost doesn't fluctuate - it's more likely a restriction somewhere as boost drops off suddenly at high RPM and high boost. We have and idea it's the cat - but this is not proven yet (Tuesday will tell) and if it is so, you will not beleive the story/theory to this. After boost problem is fixed, I'll let you know the dyno numbers. /edit - changed is surge to isn't surge - DER !

Hi Sydneykid, What I meant by 'just magic' was the design of the plenum/inlet - not the quality of the manufacture. Infact I agreee with you whole heartedly about the casting dags. I found these myself and posted a different thread about it (to which I only received only a small response). But as you would know, these dags are easily removed (yes I can hear you say more money wasted on a plenum).... Oh by the way, when I took my standard plenum off, there were many more casting dags and manufacuring imperfections on it than the Greddy plenum. Back to the design. It was pretty clear to me that the Greddy plenum has been designed to at least try and get even air distribution to all runners. Unlike (in my opinion) the standard one where air from the TB hits runners 3&4. At high boost that can't be a good thing (IMO). If I take the Greddy plenum and look directly through the inlet where the TB goes, I can physically see all 6 runners. The plenum is angled back near to perfectly so that the distance between each runner (plan view) is the same - hence (I would think) a more even air distribution. Notedly, this doesn't take into consideration the time it takes for the air to get from the front of the plenum to the back of the plenum. There are no flat stops withing the plenum all intake runner to plenum joins are curved nicely - even 'looks' to have a kind of bell mouth effect at the end of each runner where the runner spills into the plenum chamber. When look into the standard plenum, I see runners 3 and 4 only and that's it. I got my figures mixed up in the previous post it was more like 340 cfm to 3 & 4 - 260 cfm to 1 & 6 - Still a 22% differenence. I have no-doubt that you are seeing 500HP cars with standard plemum - I would think though they are seeing more air flow to 3 & 4 than 1 & 2. I also have no doubt that an RB26 head swap to my RB25 is a good mod. To me, this sounds like a very expensive mod too , with maybe only a few good workshops in Sydney having the experience to perform this - And I bet they would charge me for it too. ! And those without the experience but have the ability - would charge me for it too. What would be the price of RB26 head, plenum, multi throttle boddies, gaskets, machining plus installation onto and RB25 ? I would be guessing maybe $2000+ for the head and what, a day and half to fit (12 hours) x $90 per hour - Roughly $3000 all up. (my Guestimate). In my case - I needed a new plenum anyway. I had $1500 for the cost of the plenum and labour to fit. I didn't have $3000 for RB26 head upgrade. Yes - the RB26 head upgrade would get me more than twice the performance increase than the Greddy plenum would give me. But I have already spent way to much money on my car - so every $1500 I save, I can put into my mortgage. Lets look at it from the other perspective - I go back to standard plenum - $200 for standard plenum, TB & TPS (I had to buy a new plenum,etc as my old one was butchered to make my crappy custom plenum). $200 worth of piping to redirect pipework from LHS to RHS. 4 hours labour incluing all the TIG welding - $400. Thats $800 cost to me - (note the above is a guesstimate) Lets call the difference between the $1500 and $800 - 'high heels' Cheers,

Dude - I should note that I 'used' to have a spare one - I'll have to check that they still have it if you are serious......

Advanced driving course $500 FMIC - $1500 Boost Controller - $250 Power FC $1400 plus tune $600 Sorry - $250 over...... Make sure you budget for incidentals as they always always always pop up

Brett - I'm out mate - Sorry Was looking forward to this, but I've still got that boost drop off issue. Damn it.... Missed the drift day today too - damn it. I'm sure it will get sorted - just a matter of 'when ?'

One I call "Gloria" The other I call "In the furken workshop all the time" but when it is not, Skyrod

Silver - if it makes you feel any better - my long weekend has been ruined too.... R33 still in workshop....... No Drift day (already paid for) (Sat) No Dyno day (Mon) No Track day (Mon) Friggin modified cars......

If you Northside ppl see this post, go without me. I'll be goind to check out the isssue with my R33 - If they can fix it by lunch, I'll come down. If it looks like it will take a while, I 'might' bring Gloria, but only run if it is wet.... Fatz, If I don't make it - I'm good for the extra $50 if you don't get all the numbers......

Thanks guys - good to meet all of you ! I agree with Merli - BOOSTD - nice car mate ! Cheers for the turbo tips too. What happened to Mark & Ken - it got a bit hectic there when we were leaving the car park - I hope everyone wasn't too rushed ....... Thanks for the tyres Andrew - did you check the funds ? I'm pretty sure it was right

Guys, the time is approx 9:15 for the cruise - In the Archer St Carpark - Where Maccas used to be.

I got 1 good one and 5 busted ones

Not looking good for me fellas...... Fatz, I don't think the Auto, Single Spinner, heavy, 4 door, underpowered Gloria would be much good at drifting, especially in the dry - I tried drifting it once (on the private track near my house *cough*) but she is just not built for it I think. The Corolla would have a better chance but.

Sounds like they were disturbed if they didn't take anything. Bad news, but good news they didn't take the car !

Fatz - I just heard that there 'may' be a delay with me getting my car in time for tomorrow - So this is just a heads up that my spot might free up - I'll post back here and call you on the mobile when I find out the status - for sure. Bugger.......

The guy that did my R33 didn't have a problem with mine. Justin - did they charge you extra for for the fiddlyness ??? Or fixed price ??

List updated. See first page Sewid, SOs OK as long as they bring frieds for the rest of us ! ha ha ha ha Please post back if I missed your name or there is a change in plans. I have booked for 12 and I have 12 names on the list.

Thanks for that guys. Cheers - helps me out a lot ! Cheers,

Greetings Comrades, I was hoping someone might help me out. I need to know some distances - I have no idea where these places are in Melbourne. Just rough is OK - As the crow flys, not driven distance please. Exhibition St. to Box Hill Exhibition St. to Hawthorn Clayton to Box Hill Clayton to Hawthorn Thanks in advance

Update: Spoke to tint guy - he is super busy and will get back to us Tuesday next week with the price. Yes, I said price (singular) - It's too hard to work out prices for everyone's individual cars (ie 2-door, 4-door, this tint, that tint) So, he's decided to just give us one price for what ever we want (per car, within reason - sorry Roy, no flames) * Note this excludes 4WDs - so we'll get a diff price for these. Thanks for being patient.

I'm in !

Good shit there Buster and 2rismo ! Well done guys - ! Hopefully we will see a few more Skylines kick some Rotor & Supra ass !

Frankie - here you go mate - It's not the covertable version - I have seen one, but I can't find a pic........ but you get my drift hey !

Thats it Carlo ! Special this week - B-Man's port and polish job with worn out angle grider bought from Super Cheap Auto for $16.95 Stop whoring this thread B-Man. Are you talking to yourself again ?? Yes Oh, OK ! Shut up
