Yeh as Howie said.........and then a S1 is pretty cheap these days also. Just remember when buying a car to check the service history and to get a check done on the car to make sure it's mech A1!

Yeah ruffly the price i was thinking for a dealer one for the s2.

Was going to come down to boostworks the other week and have a watch of peoples cars on the dyno, work nights though :P so never got up in time.

Was gonna get inpecta car to do a check when i find a car i like, does boostworx do that sort of stuff as well ?

Yeh you should have come down for a look, we were still there after lunch also!

You might wanna give Shaun a call about that, I'm sure he could, but he is quite busy these days and i don't know what he would charge for that sorta thing!

Boostworx do it, its ~$95 but theres usually a 2 week waiting list as hes a busy guy. I got mine checked at tillbrooks for $100 with a days notice. Wasn't the most thorough check but they did a compression test which was the main thing I wanted.

Had a look around the car yards today was interesting lol , couple of nice ones in redline and sinergy. Weird that redline seems to paint the back part and wheel arches of nearly all the cars they have there, worries me a bit :) Is this a major prob or in the end if mechs look at it and its ok, dont stress about it ?

Sinergy had a nice white s2, had a clear plastic skyline badge on the boot thought they were all ment to be colour coded on the s2's ?

i wouldnt worry about the painted wheel arches and stuff mine came like that from a dealer... also 2 secconds arround the corner from tilbrooks is a little import yard hes got a couple of nice lines go say hello to him hes a very nice chap too

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
