  1. was shopping around for plugs and thought that the .7 would be the bizz. until i found out that they foul up if they are used on arround town applications, not RACE cars, also i "think" their life span is only 5000km aproxx PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG!!!
  2. IRAWAY BKR8E race plug i THINK only has a short life 5000k's so you need to replace them every few months when you change oil, becomes $$$ when they are $30 a pop. That is what i was told Please correct me if im wrong.
  3. R34 N1 rated at 320hp ea. Since you are in brisbane have a talk to mike vine turbochargers, (capalaba) been around turbos for a ages, maybe a little pricey but his turbo selection is second to none, I went for a pair of his Gibson Motorsport spec T28, AWSOME!!!! HKS head gasket good around $350. bit pricey!!
  4. I went around a fair few repair shops for some repair prices, like a few my RB26 spun a bearing approx 2 months after purchase, (direct from Japan) After some recearch i found out that a few shops were contracting out their rebuilds to JHH I found him great to bounce ideas off, eg N1 oil & Water pumps sump baffells and turbo setups. My main goal was 500rwhp BULLETPROOF, daily driven, The total cost for engine in&out will be approx $8000, "Race clutch" from Jim berry $900. with fuel pump,injector,intercooler,computer,oilcooler&remote mount, diff oilcooler,gearbox oilcooler to follow after initial bedding in.
  5. here we go!!!!!!!!! JHH performance engineering. 10 Timms court woodridge Qld 4114 ph:3208 6274 P.s. I have seen some of his adverts in the back of some import mags, HPI Zoom and the like
  6. Sorry Ronin09 i didn't realise that we were talking about track work over two years as long term.
  7. I am a qualified mechanic, and have been out of that for a fair while, I understand that technology changes, but there is still the wear factor & reliability, and by pushing things well past their "designed power" output i feel that there life expectancy will suffer greatly.
  8. Yeah just like "top secret's" 1200hp r33gtr travelled all of 400km in last 3years (hpi dvd) I'm not saying its not possible but physics tells me that "midnight racer" might be struggling for "long term use"
  9. I wonder how many times he has had to rebuild it Think about it 14ltr truck engines produce approx 500hp and you want to put 1000 through 3ltrs and want it to be reliable...... don't think so!!
  10. PITS is one of the best, very profesional, and i thought cost effective complete tune on a r33 gtst full remap using PFC $420
  11. just had my RB26 rebuilt by John Hill performance engineering, ported the head, new cams, timing gears, forged pistons, shot peened rods rebuilt water & oil pump, fully ballanced. modified sump, 650hp engine and he has a great reputation for his work charged me $7200 $5000 not too far off. WORD of advice go to someone with a good Rep, there are too many 20yr old experts out there!!!
  12. darrin, had the same fault when fitting my pfc, missing on one cyl, changed back to standard ecu and running on all cyl. The fault was the main connection to the pfc not being completley home and therefore causing the miss. Check the main connection to the pfc. Good luck. DoubleD
  13. are turbos still for sale, are they complete, any chance of pics!!
  14. if it's not to late I'm in. Will fax order Monday DoubleD
