It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

180SX Project is going full steam ahead now, I want the car ready for 2014 WTAC Open Class and Drift it as well. Working out a list of parts I need to be competitive and not do it half arsed.

So far:

-Hypertune Plenum

-Hypertune 3" Throttle Body

-Hypertune Fuel Rail

-Powered By Max full Suspension Catalogue under it.

-Wilwood 6pot Brake 355mm Front

-Wilwood 4pot 330mm Rear

-Tilton Adjustable Pedal Box

-Wilwood Bias Valve

-Wilwood Dual Hand Brake Caliper

-Vipec V44

-Mazworx Dry Sump Kit (Maybe)

-Massive Aero Kit Custom Made.

-Fuel System out of R32 Drag Car

-Bride Zeta III Seat

-Cam Spec roll cage

-New Engine when this one shits its self

-Custom Titanium Exhaust 3" Side pipe

-Custom Titanium Screamer pipe aimed out the bonnet :woot:

-Massive 305mm Semi Slick tyres Rear.

Gonna be mental can't wait

Why not Ikeya or cusco etc gear over the PoweredByMax stuff? not the greatest gear you can get, especially when your list has some of the 'bigger' name brands on the go

So...... what happened to the PBM gear being given a go / having good feedback / Ikeya catalogue being not worth the price tag?

Also, a dry sump LS1 is 180 od KG. an SR is a whole of ~130-140kg...............

Throwing an LS wont affect balance / weight distribution at all really, and the fact It'd have a mountain of torque...............

PS.... DET head will never, have the same flow properties as a VE(T)

1. I got a really good deal on the Ikeya Formula Gear ended up costing me a lil bit less then what the PBM parts would have been worth.

2. I'm not a V8 kinda person, I'm a import person + not allowed V8's in WTAC (2012 rules, 2013 rules have not been released) and all the fastest cars use either SR20's, 4G63's or Rotaries. RB's and 2JZ are too heavy.

3. I have not ruled out a VET head, trying to source one without buying a complete engine is a little bit difficult at the moment they are in such high demand.

4. Aim of the car is to be as light as possible my target is 1000kg, which is possible with a power figure of 600-700rwhp as Eastern Creek requires big HP. Nemo is running 900HP and Scorch has 800HP. My car car will be not up to their caliber nor is my driving technique that great. But i'm gonna try my damn hardest to make this car as competitive as possible. Have done is so far with the R32 Drag Car, can't see why I can't do the same with this car. I have not quite 2yrs to complete this car mostly by myself, gonna be a mammoth task hopefully pull it off.

I got a huge amount of loyalty points at Nengun which i was gonna cash in, but i had to cancel the order this morning as my piece of shit Ford Fairlane is on its last legs and i think these hot summer days are gonna be the death of it, couldn't be f**ked spending money on it either. Looks like i'll be ordering my new car sooner than I wanted too. So i have to hold back on the 180 for a little while :unsure: .

At this stage my wife and I have both come to an agreement of a FJ Cruiser, but that is subject to change if I change my mind lol. Either way the car will be some sort of 4wd as I need a good car to tow my car trailer (when i get one). + Me, my brother and Kingy wanna do some 4wd adventures up to the Cape and shit like that. So car will have to be decked out with heaps of cool shit like lift kits, big muddies, etc.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
