There is going to be subaru's there? i'm yet to meet a subaru driver who isn't a complete twat. I'm sure there out they, they must keep a low profile though.

Car started being a bitch on the way home today so i don't know if i'll even be able to bring that. Worst case senario i'll bring the missus corolla down and have a look.

I might pop down for a look and say hello, but i can't afford to get my club membership or pay day fee's so i'll have to do that for the next one.

Seen a white 34 on regent yesterday. At a guess i'd say it belongs to a nik.

Seen a nice black 33 with black rims turning onto derwent park road around 2pm today. Looked good from what i seen.

i couldn't do it. I went 3 months without driving my 31 and almost died. I've just had an image pop into my head of you going into the workshop and caressing the car and whispering to it while no one is watching. haha.

far out. just a little power to play with. how longs it been since you drove it? and does it have a name?

I'm really looking forward to seeing this completed. Do you have any power figures in mind? Also, i would pay money just to sit in this car. Seriously i would.

As much as i'd like to come along i doubt i can afford it this time round. we will see though.

posting for lols.

ah sneaky sneaky.

Is it hiding something? i've left mine there to make it look kinda standard. Eventually i'll put a custom water/air intercooler where the stock air box and have the intake from the turbo go into it from below where you can't see it then have the stock snorkel dummy connected to the black painted intercooler to look stock.

At the moment because the rear sits high (i had clearance issues) with the s13 coilovers and because the front suspension is f**ked and sitting lower then before you can see it from behind. When the car was level you could stand 3 or 4 car lengths behind and not see it. I'll take a picture when i get the suspension fixed. I got pulled over the other day and the cop had a look over the car and asked me "whats that pipe coming out of the muffler" and i replied "i wouldn't have a clue sorry" and that was the end of it. He must have been refering to the oil feed. I have a different elbow join then pictured above now.

Alrighty, here's the other picture: And i've been listening a bit more, it has a very pronounced flutter, i will be installing a recirc bov at somepoint to hopefully make it quieter. I am trying to be as sleeper as possible. And i found out what the boot spoiler is. It is off a VL Nitron. See: And here: I will try to get a picture of mine up soon. I had a look yesterday and it looks like it was slightly modified to accomodate the boot lock location. All those posts are copied directly out of the other thread. so if some of it makes no sense it's cause i haven't been over it. Will keep ya's updated if i remember, Cheers Kurt

Been a bit slack, i don't think much has changed on the car. Bought some rims yesterday, 17X7, unsure on the offset. Here they are: Unsure if i'm going to put them on or not. Will see what they look like, if they stand out to much i might not bother. Bought them cheap (The four rims with tyres in the pic plus 4 hald decent tyres for $150). If i decide i don't want them my brother in law wants them for his s13 so we shall wait and see. Haven't got a picture of the boot spoiler yet, but will do this arvo hopefully. It has a nice crack along it but i'll get that fixed eventually. Now for those of you who don't already know, early march i had some scum smash my windscreen and scratch the bonnet. Was due for a new windscreen any way, so i'm not really out of pocket. Plus when they get charged (we know who they are) my insurance will refund my my excess. Here's a picture for ya's: Any who, within the month she'll be fixed (already replaced the windscreen). I'm getting some more work done at the same time. The whole bonnet will be fixed (a few stone chips) and resprayed along with the two gaurds fixed up, resprayed and the inner lips rolled a little for when i get rota rims. Also the lip along the top of the bumper done along with my brand new standard front bumper installed and resprayed. Will also be getting the rest of the car cut and polished to make matching the paint easier and to make her look a bit nicer. So pretty much everything infront of the doors will look as new. Unfortunatly thats all i could afford at the moment. I will get before and after pictures for ya's of course. Need some input though. Should i have the little silver badge (the one that says ultra) on the front of the bonnet removed and smoothed over or keep it? I think i want to keep it. unsure. Also, do i need the plastic on the inside of the gaurds? If not i'll rip them out when i get home cause i'm healthy of them rubbing (front suspension need replacing) plus they'll need to be cut when they roll the gaurds i assume. Ah and one last thing, is there any need got the sound deadning under the bonnet? Or should i turf that too. Cheer fulla's. Will get some pics of the boot for ya's soon.

Here's a link to the thread in SAU: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/340173-sts-turbo-setup/ And here's some dyno results, before and after. Just keep in mind the auto is rooted! Got another picture here for ya's. Just a picture of the setup sitting in the boot. Wasn't completely put together though but gives you an idea.

Alrighty, thought it was about time i put up some stuff about my car. I will update this post as time goes on. And i will add pictures as soon as i get around to trying. Firstly my car is a Blue 1986 GXE Sedan. I got the car off a family friend as a car to loan when i first arrived in Tas so i had something to get around in and to/from uni. It didn't take long for me to get attached to the car and after some browsing through these forums i soon decided i had to make it mine. I asked if i could buy the car and sure enough it was mine in no time. Here it is: In the early days the beast was a bit tired and and the first thing i did when i started driving it was running in on BP Ultimate (now running on Vortex 98). This made a noticable difference. Only a few other things were replaced/installed over the next few months including things like a Bosch AFM and a few other minor things i can't think of. Early last year, around may, my car was stolen by two 16yo's and a 13yo where they took it for about a 15km thrash, which ended when they blew the exhaust off! At the time they stole the car it was still running like a pig and i hadn't really spent any money on it. The little pricks were caught later on that day in a Subaru Liberty after stealing about 4 cars. (The 16yo driving was pursued by police in december after another string of car thefts and was run over by the police, which resulted in 2 broken legs. I was quite happy to hear that.) I took the car around to the mechanic who i had been talking to for quiet some time and we had a full custom exhaust (Stock extractors) an oil cooler for the auto transmision and a few other minor things that i can't recall. After some TLC the car ran better then she had before but as always these things never really last and soon i had a failing fuel pump so that was replaced with a Bosch 040. The next thing to cause trouble was the crank angle sensor which was replaced and made the car run like never before. Now, onto the more serious stuff, i had finally got some money together to start some performance work on my car. I first purchased a new motor off a bloke who had it partially rebuilt with forged parts and had the valves polished. It also has a 292degree cam in the sucker. Along with the engine i purchased a Garret GT3082 with the housing brought out a bit. I dropped the car in to get the engine installed along with the sts turbo setup. Now for my turbo setup we have it mounted where the muffler normally would be with a straight tail pipe coming out of the turbo, it's got an external Sard wastegate and a lot of pipework up to the inlet. At the moment i don't have an intercooler yet but it seams to be doing fine, i can take it out and thrash it, hop out while she's still running and hold onto the intake directly above the engine with out burning my hands off. Along with the engine i got bigger injectors, Nistune, a stall convertor and i've drawn a mental blank. Will update this when i get home. The results, Stock: 66rwkw and 193Nm Torque. Modifided: 163rwkw, 434Nm Torque on about .8Bar At this point i'll mention that we were making 175rwkw on the dyno with a few more pounds of boost to go, but the auto was slipping so we tuned it back to 165rwkw for the time being so the box doesn't shit it self too soon. When i get home i will update this and include install pics and dyno results along with a more detailed list of mods to date. Home now: Will get back to ya's soon. Cheers Kurt

haha. I need better brakes before i get to much more power. I'll just play it as it comes. Here are some of the posts from the 31 site build thread.

Not much has changed really. I did put S13 coilovers in the rear and we also found an exhuast blockage that had been there from day one. So throttle responce is a bit sharper and she spools up a bit sooner. Also fuel economy increased a fair bit too. It really needs a new transmission and a retune though. It's current tune is holding it back so much. Should have it in the body shop to get the entire front end tidied up depending on how tax time goes. And then later this year i'll have martin putting my new gearbox in it followed by a tune. Other then a few mild hiccups we seem to have ironed out all the creases and its running really reliably.

you probably need a post count of at least 10 or something. not sure. whats your user name? the links work for me.

Awesome read. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Your really taking the weight reduction seriously. Just waiting for you to say that the roll cage is going to filled with helium or hydrogen haha.

is it just the blade design that has changed? reading this part "Outline interchangeable with Garrett® GT Series turbos" it makes it seem like i could just buy the better blades that fit my turbo for a cheaper upgrade.

i seen it at spg a while back. also has toffy's old 33 come through work.

there a fw pages. will have a go maybe.

Ah i forgot about that. But yeah, just sign up.
