All's I'm saying is i'm not putting a f**k ugly flat hatch on it, it will look gay. I want it to still look like a 180. I just want it to be fast, which will involve a lot of aero components like Wings, canards, splitters and diffusers. It will also need a lot of power to be competitive. It ain't gonna grip like a F1 nor be as fast as my Drag Car but I still want to go fast.... maybe as fast as a V8 Supercar at least :woot: .

anyone looking at doing a brake upgrade for there car, im getting rid of my brembos of the 33 vspec. fronts are 324mm rear 300mm. t4 slotted rotors and remsa pads.. 500ks old if that. 1000 tops. let me know if your interested, i want to put the new ones on and get rid of them in one go.

when would these be available? i'll be down that way mid feb

i was looking at towards end of jan or there abouts. if your keen on picking em up then i can sort it all out so they off and ready for you. car will prob only do 200km per month. so will be bout 1500ks of light driving on rotors and pads.

nice... ive gone to singe now... bit of a delay so i dont get in trouble as often haha.. be a good upgrade for the gtst.

nah mate, the GTST is dead. Hit some guy that ran a red light. Parted it out and got insurance so I got some good coin back.

I want actually going to buy an R34, then decided on a R33 or R32 so I could spend the money I saved on house renovations.

I have a pair of HKS2530s here lol (Thanks Ben)

I wanted a dark grey, non vspec just so it was a bit cheaper.

Agreed value with Shannon's insurance was a win. Then bought the wreck back for $2k and sold it in parts for well over $10k.

So, I'm not complaining haha. Been slack though. Been driving a 1995 corolla around for the last 18 months. Haven't settled on what I am going to buy yet

lol... saving money though and not throwing it into the bottomless pit.. i wanted a vspec or nur for the aero kits so i didnt have to add much to it asthetically, prob cheaper your way though lol.

Changed my gearbox oil today to some Redline. I thought the oil that was in my car would be extremely low due to the gearbox noise and crunching but it turns out i still had 2.5L of oil left.

Haven't got to drive the car faster than 2nd gear yet since i'm still at work so hopefully it solves my 5th gear crunch and i don't have to buy a new gearbox!

Fark yeah my Nascar Brembo Brakes tunred up in the mail today.....sucks I'm at work, will be the best 15th Bday present ever.

Fixed

You have far to many Birthdays.......

I'm getting a bit keen for a new car. I said I would wait till this year so I've kept the promise I made myself, but think I should wait till I have my engine up and running in case it decides to self destruct 4 days after it starts

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
