It's a two way street hahaha

No wonder i never sleep

Shannons & Just Cars are now under Suncorp for instance

People usually start with the base PFC map and go from there really

You always get used to the power. I had the smaller turbos on there, for a street car that i took to hill climbs/motorkhana's and so on on the weekends it was the best setup. Putting -5s on they are laggier, and 1st/2nd is pointless as you really need to be 140km/h++ before the -5s come into their own. The only reason -5s feel faster is because they take longer to spool and then hit harder with the torque later on. Yeah they make more power so at a track like Philip Island they might well give you benefit - but go to Sandown/Winton the smaller ones definitely shine. Plus you'd still need to do transfer case, front/rear diff, suspension. They make the biggest difference dollar vs gains IMO over power/rebuild - just there is 10k on its own. So add in another 15k for the motor and everything and you've done 25k there. Hence why my GTR was such a bargin really @ 30k, and sold easily And his MPH @ the track showed he didn't have anymore than 300rwkw at the time. So take the result with a massive grain of salt.

They do. Users have posted pictorial evidence many times before. Use the search and see for yourself. oh and in future before starting another pointless thread, use the search as well.

Ant isn't running -5s either far as i know. Newton driving Chris's car was into the teens a couple years back for a Dutton or similar and i think he did as well... This was before he took the reigns too End of the day my point simply is going fast @ the circuit is more about setup than it is about outright power, especially whilst learning. A lot more to be sorted out first. If you aren't going as fast as people around you with similar power then you've gotta improve setup and/or driving. Given Harry has been doing c/ship rounds I'm guessing that is where he is heading in terms of direction. If it's just street he is talking about then do whatever fits my earlier post RE: budget/builds and so on.

Nope -7s on Chris's car. And that's what i mean about setup (and learning to drive it as well) Funny thing is everyone said you needed 380rwkw/-5s to do it, but the time now stands @ 1:17 without it

Umm wow. That is insane! Yes but energy rating of 1 You'd be lucky if your beer even stayed cold

Boost is but one thing to consider right. You do know it's not the single factor in motor longevity? If you can't afford. or don't want, the rebuild - anymore than 300rwkw is not for you. If you do have 15k standing by to go all out, then by all means chase the power. You can get well into the "teens" at Sandown with those baby turbos and a well setup GT-R, and really, that is fking fast all things considered. So if you aren't there yet then you've got more to attend to than turbos for now

lol

+1 Same for area's down here in Melb. Just giving them a different post code can see premiums alter by $300 without a drama at all. Also a lot of VIC's have noticed a premium hike in response to hailstorms in the past 12 months (the excuse we are being fed)... But then that's what we pay insurance companies for in the first place so i cannot see how it's a legitimate reason. My premium went up by $250 overnight! Any major disasters in NSW they can attribute it to? Perhaps alien abductions?

And people put the HX35 onto 2.6ltr motors and then wonder why they are buckets of sh*t

A tight/well built motor should never really have piston slap in this day & age unless you are running a 600rwkw+ monster that needs a bit of extra clearance. Out of my 3 built motors, mine are all silent.

So you had the same problem back in July? Or is this a new compression problem? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/404483-rb26-melting-pistons/ If it's a NEW compression problem i would suggest 1. Getting a better tune 2. Learning how to drive 3. Selling the car all together

Really great pics Kory! Very impressive... No doubt a couple of those to make it to the Nats site for Russman's feature You'll need more than 9000rpm of RB20 me thinks

Yeah I'm sure it'll have 1psi by 3500pm 20psi+? No

Strongly advise you to take off the manifold and change all the studs at the same time. You are highly likely to find there are 1-2 broken already as it is... So better to spend extra and do it now, rather than deal with it later on especially if you are upgrading the turbo which will be more heat and so on. To note: you will break some studs in the head. Not many people get them all out without breaking any. In this instance call the "thread doctor". There is usually one guy in each state and getting them to do it is far cheaper/easier than trying to DIY for that particular job.

You can use any BOV for any setup really. You just need to route the piping and the VAC feed to suit it. I've seen GTR BOV's dump enough air from 550-620rwkw (one Supra, one GTR) setups so they will be fine in most applications really. Not the shinest option on the shelf though i guess.

Just use the stock setup? Still works fine with a single, just alter the feed pipe and job done.

wont be oil drain, its 4x the size of the feed. feed will be blocked, meaning there is gunk elsewhere in the system most of the time... cause if there wasn't - how can it be blocked?

Yeah but Mt Baw Baw was closed, part of an event. Could use ALL the road. Very fun, would recommend to anyone

Nope. That's the Facebook plug-in playing up (for those that use it), it usually fixes itself in an hour or two. Those that hard set their Profile pics, do not have issues.

excellent

I'm well aware of plenty of those types of roads The 10min run up Mt Baw Baw @ the Mountain Motorsport event i did in Feb was truly the most epic thing I've done in a car yet. Then add in absolute bucketing rain for good measure to make it really interesting
