T.D

Hahahahhahahah

GoPro video as soon as I get some free time Cheers mate! That pic was taken when we were still finalising lines but every line (including braided lines) are all wrapped up in heatproof wrap and brackets amde to secure the whole lot so very little movement Ahhh good idea! I actually didn't think of that. I'll try that out tonight and see how easily it can be viewed from that location. Thanks mate!

Haha nah, screamers are far from subtle when on full noise but with the two turbos, the exhaust note is a lot quieter now. The note is somewhat "beefier" and less raspy than previouslym. Very happy with how the whole thing panned out. I'll try get a pic without the front bar and plastics off sometime soon so you can see the piping in all its glory lol

And the car has been back in my posession since last Friday and I am stoked! TOTALLY fallen in love with the car again! Car pulls like a train without any noticeable lag and doesn't hesitate to light them up when you give it some curry. I'm still getting used to the new clutch, as it's pretty heavy and doesn't really allow you to slip or ride it. Basically on or off. Coupled with the diff and cam that's in there now, anything less than ~1700rpm and you can feel it buck and can tell it's not happy at those speeds. Doesn't really bother me at all, gives the car a more "raw" feel that I've been longing for since I moved away from the R33. Bit of a learning curve, especially from hill starts. Low-speed roundabouts requries clutch in and blip of throttle before engaging gear but overall, I'm extremely stoked with the manual conversion and the TT View of the Turbosmart 38mm external gates with twin screamers before it all went back together Still waiting for a radiator cover panel to finish it off, but pretty much 99% there. Turbosmart Kompact Dual Port BOV hidden inside the gutted airbox. Still waiting on another trumpet to replace the plumback port to make it a Megasonic. Keen eyed observers will notice the MAF has been gutted and is just a shell, since we're running MAP, only needed the MAF body for the full stealth look Overflow tank and catch can. I might fab up a small shield to hide the filter, but from the pic, you can see the overflow tank and 90% of the catch can is hidden under the intake resonators. Full manual conversion done witht he ripshifter in there. Love it. Boost controller is mounted on the lower side of the dash, near where your left leg would rest. I'm looking to move this somewhere where it's in the line of sight. Was thinking on top of the steering column but I dummied it up and it didn't fit Anyone have any ideas?

Anybody know of anyone selling a racing seat office chair? Being a tight ass and looking for something <$50 and can pick up like, now. Or anytime really lol

Cheers mate!

Thanks mate! Hits the rollers tomorrow so fingers crossed I get her back over the next day or so Yeah, we'll be using the K&N short-stack pod filter That was the original plan but being GT3076Rs in 56T, there's absolutley no room to run pipes without going to rubber pipes. Tuner is hesitant to use the rubber pipes as in the past they've sucked shut on full noise. Cheers!

How do I change the thread title anyway?

Yeah man, I'm now broke as a joke

Firstly, the minor things. Installed and programmed E1 HSV dash cluster and HSV flat-bottom steering wheel (soz, no pics of this sintalled yet). The HSV logo on the face is a bit dicky for me, so looking at getting a new face overlay. And now the major part that's been in the works. Started with these: Then this: And finally this: UPDATE: Car went into the mechanics/tuner yesterday morning to begin taking the blower off and start fabbing and installing the twin turbo setup. PLOT TWIST: Car is also getting converted from the standard auto 6-speed to a 6-speed manual at the same time as the TT. Got a few pics of the parts I picked up in the past week. Tuner/mechanic has got the rest such as Turbosmart 40mm external wastegates, intercooler, BOV etc. Ripshift. Everyone says a ripshift is the bees kness in a manual commo, so figured I might as well get one so that it can get dropped in at the same timed as the box going in: Turbosmart E-Boost Street. Originally had my heart set on the E-Boost 2 as I was wrapt with the series 1 E-Boost in my R33, but the more I read into it, the more I noticed that alot of the features I wasn't going to use. So it made sense to go the Street as it had eveyrhting I wanted. Twin Garrett GT3076Rs. 0.82 exhaust housings with V-band. And I also went on a memorial crusie for a very close mate of mine that passed away recently. Cheers to AL Photography for the pics! Keen to get a photoshoot done with him as soon as I get my car back Popped down to MPW last night to have a bit of gander at progress. Everything on track and looks exactly how I envisioned it, so cheers to Adam and the boys there for getting it how I want. Fingers crossed she's all done either later this week or early next week. Turbos all mounted up and good to go. Just need oil/water lines and external gates to be chucked in Bar and plate 'cooler sitting somwhere behind the front bar. Stealth, just how I like it Here you can see the cold side intercooler piping that leads to the throttle body going through the gutted airbox And this is how she looks under the bonnet. Still need to get the radiator cover panel and change the blue silicone to black.

Thanks mate! Ahhhh so glad to hear! Would love to catch up sometime and see how things have progressed Just realised I haven't updated this thread in ages soooooooo, brace yourself for Twin Turbo V8 goodness. I'll start back from when the saga began

Sorry for the noob question but what does that mean? I've got 2 bonnet pins on either side of the bonnet, but that's not what you mean is it? lol

Hmmm true true, but it's jsut a pain in the ass to have to unlock the pins, then pull the bonnet latch. Was hoping to remove catch all together so it's just a straight process of undoing pins. Not wanting to get defected for it though so thought 'd see if anyone has any info regarding

I heard that the old clip style ones were illegal as they protruded from the bonnet too much, but eh flush ones are ok?

Anybody know the legalities of removing the bonnet catch and having the bonnet secured only by flush bonnet pins?
