  1. nice work...you didn't leave much spare track, and that is a damn quick time.
  2. btw, shoe shown in photo of the tread is not included either
  3. lol good point...first post updated.
  4. I have a set of genuine R32 GTR Vspec wheels for sale in very good condition. 17x8 +30 offset, forged. I was saving them for a vspec restoration I was planning....but plans change so they are for sale. Price is $1200, firm. Pickup or delivered in Sydney, forget posting! 3 wheels in excellent condition 1 with minor kerbing 4 centre caps (some paint flaking, they are plastic from the factory) 2 tyres (unknown age) with useable tread 2 tyres (unknown age) below wear limits Excellent wheels, at a good price for anyone who is putting together a stock vspec - they are also a very good strong, light wheel for someone looking for a set for general use.
  5. The bottom one looks like a GTR actuator to me, so it could be from an R32....just not a 32 GTST....
  6. 9.3! Damn that is quick. I live my life 1/4 mile at a time.
  7. Thanks Alex for putting this together, despite the crap traffic at first everything ran smoothly, and everyone was well behaved (except that damn Skoda driver that kept cutting in). Also great to put faces to a bunch of screen names No traffic on my way back home, I reckon I used twice as much fuel as on the way there. Had to fill up 3 times to get back to Gladesville
  8. Tom thanks for this thread, it has been helping people for 5 years Including me today. I've fixed the pics in the first post too. Anyone else with issues with threads, please use the report to moderator button, I didn't realise the pics were borken!
  9. I'm coming if Craig isn't....so see y'all there
  10. at the course I was at they put 2 cars on the dyno, one had a powerfc, the other had a nistune. there was really good coverage of the fundamentals, and then practical applications. eg how timing works, then how to test/set it for a given car, and then how cams/cam gears/vct might afftect it.
  11. yep that is very helpful. but there is still a problem that is a real pain: the topic is unhelpful - the subject of the email should be changed to the topic title to allow common emails to be grouped.
  12. It was worth every cent, and more Yavuz covered some theory to explain, and then lots of time on the dyno with a couple of different cars demonstrating different points
  13. good to see this running again, I went to one last year and it was excellent
  14. Hey Andrew, it doesn't chirp second, I put good tyres on it It does happily spin all four in the wet at full throttle though. Lucky I am a sensible mature gentleman in a station wagon. Bob, you are dead right. Conservative is exactly the point of this car and setup, in fact the tuner sounded disappointed that the turbo would not take any more boost. We ran it as high as 24psi (about 280kw) but it just started to ping on repeated runs, suggesting the turbo had probably got past it's efficiency. There's no doubt it is a 350+ setup with a bigger turbo and maybe bigger injectors You should be happy with that curve, and I'm surprised it is still making power all the way up with the crappy stagea head - or have you got something different cams wise? And it's great to see you hitting the track in it too, it must be classic watching the stagea go past everyone else. Alex, sorry, no print out with air/fuel, it was a pretty steady 12:1
  15. yep rb30/25....blue and black lines are the same setup except turbo red was the standard, auto rb25
  16. interesting. it feels like the power comes on very early, so I overlaid my last dyno run (china turbo, same boost, same peak power) in blue, and the car when it ws stock in red. 2 points worth noting: At the same boost, and the same sized turbo, the ball bearing one makes 80% more power at 3500rpm. The new setup makes more power at 3000rpm than the standard one made at peak power
  17. I finally gave in an put a garret water cooled, ball bearing highflow into the china housings after 4 of the china ones died over a couple of years. It seems to come on boost at about the same revs, but it has less lag (ie time between mashing throttle and full boost arriving) The guys at Unigroup did a tune for me today, here are the results: 19psi was the max the turbo was happy with, no doubt with a bigger turbo it could make more power....but that is hardly the point is it.
  18. See you there Ryan. Adam, if you want a passenger seat, I will be heading through Ryde about 4ish.
  19. you need tips from James/Sirlordvanderwhatever One common approached I've noticed is to add a stay from the front edge of the splitter up to the reo - this creates the triangle that you need for strength at the front.
  20. 1. Buy stagea 2. load with tyres 3.??? 4. Profit BTW....Dave said box. Over and over again. See y'all there. I'll have some tools there, and there are a few things in the club trailer too.
  21. sprung....I hope I was being good. were you in the stag or undercover?
  22. that is a C34 under that, isn;t it?
