Interesting dan.... yes I do know the head was ported and polished, I think 360 is probably pushing the car as far as it can go without major upgrades like sequentials and diffs etc, should be fun!

Hey lads brasil trip has been pretty damn crazy so far and found myself in a favela for a good week...now in santa Teresa at a real nice pad and heading out for a boat party tonight. Military police stormed the favela Saturday morning and gunfire for a good 5-6 hours. They were back at it again on sunday morning just after I left on a motorbike. So anyway GTR made 360awkw with 20psi in the low end , falling off to 17psi in the top end. Scott thought might be the gates holding it back. Anyway, looks like this motor makes grunt & should keep me entertained !!

Dose....twin restrictions.....good way of describing them lol Matt we are doing a full flex tune with an Emtron, & I've got oil & fuel pressure / temp sensors in place as motor protection. Dan, I'm a little bit gutted that it's not already single tbh....I mean 330 should make a plenty fast street car....but I'm not sure if thats enough to be "scary".... well, for my latina passengers it will be but maybe not for me after being in Piggaz car. It's pretty annoying that for nascar grade power its nascar grade money.

Car was fired up as of yesterday afternoon and is running.... It should see the dyno at some point this week or next How much power do you guys think it'll make ? Noting the head is ported & polished as well....

I could never live on a farm I have no interest in working the land Flight to Rio is on Tuesday, Copa America is on so it should be buzzing over there Here we go again ?

Well to be fair everyone was on the house bandwagon and look what happened to that... I predicted the crash 3 years ago, wish I had the know-how to of 'shorted' the market lol

Think I’m going to Brasil next week accom booked just need to confirm with manager and I’ll book a flight. need to get away from Australia and all this post GTR ownership trauma lol

Well lads I start my new job on July 1st I might bite the bullet and go back to a brasil for 2-3 weeks before I start the new gig dont want to think about all this car Jazz it’s just dollars dollars dollars seriously, I’m overwhelmed lol its so much more fun being in the mix and chasing women stay tuned moral of the story is for anyone thinking about doing a don mega GTR build you need to be a don millionaire. Cheaper and better to be the don womaniser ?

Yes Piggaz has offered the car to me but it’s big money and is worth what he’s asking. Hmm, I’ve already got a custom surge tank, 2 billet filters and $2500 worth of fuel pumps for the S15, and some earls ultrapro Teflon lines and fittings. I think 50% of the outlay is done for it.

Realistically, Piggaz car is the best decision possible. The reality is, the next EFR stage is a $65k exercise allowing for brakes/sequential/diffs/turbo package/fab/retune. However, I have time on my side as I’m sure there’s fun to be had in the current package. And then, I’d need to budget for a built motor...and by then I’ll have a car with as big a spend as Piggaz. Logistically, attaining Piggaz car is next to impossible without finishing both the S15/R33 GTR and selling both. Selling the S15 is a major challenge because of how much money has been pumped into it and how little they’re selling for. Sure it’s stuffed full of good bits but I don’t know what I’d be able to get for it. And plus, after nearly 4 years off the road I’d love to see if it’s a really fun fruitcake to drive. I have to say, without making a post with my usual sense of humour, that building cars has been the biggest rollercoaster decision I’ve ever made. There is a LOT of stress involved, so it’d be nice to turn the key to something that’s just DONE. I could stop now and enjoy both cars, but is that possible, I’m 90% sure it’s not.... Hmm, it’s a bad feeling being at a crossroads....

The problem is I don’t have the venture capital. I’ve got an R33 GTR & S15 and after this round of mods I’m damn near broke.

Yeah well I might of bitten off a bit more than I chew going for Don Mega standards, the don medium is closer to the mark.... Just this round is definitely huge dollars involved.

Hummm, I really do prefer the sound of a 26/28 bottom end.... Piggaz car acceleration is like back to the future so I can see 2 options, an 8474 or the mack daddy 9280. I’m just not sure if the 9280 is a good idea simply because I’d probably start breaking things.....and even the thought of any more power than an 8374 Is a bit frightening

Hmm - so the next step I really need a built bottom end. Although it seems a lot of people get away with a completely stock bottom end for 500kw... 2.6 or 2.8L? Which will feel scarier? I’d have to redo the whole motor I think as it has a HKS Step 2 head system but the piggaz ran into issues with Valve float using the same I believe....sigh

Hmm.. well yeah the dash 7s definitely are an anchor....If I had the money I’d get rid of them now and sell them. What is supposed to be the limit of stock rods ?

Has had? The past doesn’t count Dan, neither does being a has-been! Where’s your GTR mate? If having tigers blood puts me on the spectrum, absolutely, I’m a thaumaturge pal & the sooner I EFR this lead sled, the sooner Ill be shutting all you player haters up. This is an all out “DON” build how many times do I have to say it. Can’t wait to post my Dash 7s dyno graph, now that I’ve got the right fruit to make an easy 340-350awkw.

Are you asking that because you were biting the pillow last night?

The friction material blew itself to pieces. It was a reused unit & boost controller reads 729ps. So I don't know, either user error or it was already on its last legs. Bit of a weird question but not since I got back from Chile & Brasil, I was in completely in the mix over there with the latinas.

It wasn't enough clutch for how much torque the car is making.

Look, I've done the maths & I'll be running sub 1.04's. But my best is a 1.15 in a stock S15 on warmup lap, previous night was rain.... After my 4th warmup lap I flew past the grandstand like Orido on the Gunsai Touge.... was all set for a 1.12, got onto the straight flat throttle all crossed up , then hit a patch of ice, spun and bounced over the ripple strip. Threw the alignment out so I was fighting the steering wheel for the rest of the day.

RB26 with all the fruit. Emtron. Ohlins. NASCAR grade fuel system. Factory grade panel gaps. This puppy has all the right ingredients to chop the pretenders. Now who’s organised the bookie ?

Why is it that GTS-T guys always want a shot at the title? You’re gonna get scissored by my GT-R! With the dash 7’s and with the 9280!!!!! BOTH!!!!!

Awesome Steve, but careful mate they’ll tell you the black sharpie pen is an angle grinder hole ?

Quoted for truth. Finally getting credit when credit is due. Thanks mate

It’s a straight line battle akin to the Option DVD speed battles. My GT-R is a Wangan build not a time attack build.
