  1. I had an absolute blast. Managed to knock off 3 seconds from my time last year which I'm stoked about. A huge shout out to the organisers, thr marshals and time keepers at SMSP and to Dave running around all day keeping things running smoothly. Also a thanks to Nick for riding shotgun with me giving me tips, I've got lots to work on. I'll upload some footage over the next few days which also includes some epic flamage from the Nur
  2. Car serviced, alignment done, license done, 20l jerry can purchased, getting the car washed now. Still need to pick up another battery for the gopro and fill the car up. Bring on tomorrow
  3. So the stock BOV had this....
  4. My best at EC is 13.6 and I've been told by my mates and mechanic that with the power the car has got, my times should be a little better than this. Perfect launch, perfect gear change, foot to the floor but I could never get any better than 13.6, so I've always put this down to my driving on the night and never really thought it could be a problem with the car After diagnosing the surging feeling in the car last night, my mechanic decided to "test the car". 1st and 2nd gear feels really strong but when in 3rd, it's lacking some power. So either the cams aren't keeping up, maybe the stock ones are too small for the GTRS or the VCT is causing the problem (I know the VCT is playing up as this was one of the things Scott @Insight mentioned) We'll play around with the car on friday and saturday and see if we can work this out At least I know now the crappy times at EC isn't me
  5. I've noticed since getting the turbo rebuilt that I'm getting like a surging feeling when slowly bringing the car on boost around 3-4k rpm. It was happening before I blew the turbo but it wasn't this bad I thought it could of been few things, fuel pump letting go, BOV starting to die, wastegate on the turbo being a bit flimsy. I did notice that for some unknown bloody reason, the boost solenoid was burnt.... Thinking this was the cause (hoping actually lol) I went and picked up a second hand one from SKyline Spares, changed it over and took the car for a drive. Hoping for a quick $30 fix was too much, this wasn't the cause. So after a service last night myself and my mechanic took the car for a spin. Once he felt what the car was doing around 3-4k rpm he knew it was the BOV causing the problem. So we'll fit this up either friday or saturday.
  6. Perfect condition, no dents or scratches Gun metal grey if possible but not fussed Pick up only, near Blacktown or Greystanes area
  7. Nice build so far Did you have to modify anything to fit the 26 cam covers to the 25 head?
  8. If they are tuning your ECU for the first time (whether it's been tuned by someone else previously) you will be looking at the $800-$1000 mark Go back again with the same ECU with further upgrades it should drop down to $400-$500
  9. I use Insight at Arndell Park
  10. From the 32GTR cruise the other week
  11. Nick I'll let you take my beast of a civic around the track, it haz da vtec
