Some night shots for me last night (shortly before getting defected whilst driving around looking for more good photo locations .. *sigh*) ..

You should be able to click on those for a larger image too.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Certainly not bad for a cheapy camera - just wished it had raw capability so I could have done more with them post-processing...

dude! what did u get done for? :)

Guy was just looking for something to get me for - tried for the tint (but it's factory), ended up doing test and finding the exhaust was too loud, of all things (annoying after I'd requested the original installer of the exhaust some 2.5+ years ago to make sure it was legal).

Regency subsequently took their piece of flesh in finding more things wrong (excessive movement in rear steering rack - my suspension guy had seen it long before and said it was well within spec), and factory xenons (which weren't removed during compliancing. Oddly enough they didn't even test the exhaust when it went through (which was the thing it was defected for!)

Wow Jenna. IMO the 2door spoiler looks ALOT better then the standard 4 door item. It looks excellent in the first shot.

Yup - I'm surprised more people don't do it. I'm stunned how much nicer it looks.

Now I just need to follow-up with the rest of the factory body-kit. I have the rear pods sitting in my garage, and I've organised for picking up side-skirts in the next week. Then I'll just need to get them fitted and resprayed.... should be good!

Good on ya stan! Just goes to show you can make a strong potent automatic.

If I hadn't have bought my gtr I def. would be aiming for something similar in my sedan. Always wanted to make a rb26 automatic :P

Thanks mate! It's taken a long time, but we're there ;)

Awesome Stan!! Congrats buddy.

Cheers~ Congrats on your ride in the "Best of the Best" issue - gotta be happy with that!

Thats one insane GTT satanic!

Thanks :P

There's a build thread being written up here (http://forum.jdmstyletuning.com/showthread.php?t=19866) if you're keen. Feel free to sign up and comment / join in on the rest of the JDMST fun.

Damnit, stupid thing about browsing this thread from work means i cant see half the photos :D

i can see a few, so im going to say

Nikolce: love that first pic, the sky looks wicked behind the car

Danski: loving that pic of your car with the river behind, glimpse of the city, very nice!

and John-e-boi what made you decide on blue rims???

I havent taken any proper photos of my car yet, going to do a shoot with my bf (if i ever get a spare day ever again)

passive - to be honest, no idea. just thought i'd try something different. i ended up liking them, so they're staying until i think of another wild colour i can go for lols. everyone seems to have safe colours. white silver black bronze. thought i'll just give it a go. some dislikes it, some loves it. each to their own i guess.

goldzilla - thanks dude. glad you like it (hoping you're talking about my car and not my mates rx7 with meisters lols) =)

satanic - your car is intense dude. awesome job

Dude, I'm definitely referring to your car - FD3's are nice, but your car kills it in those shots!

    • 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.
