We actually know another Steve, of Steve's Auto Barn at blackheath; he owns a BB with white LMGT4s and plates ORSUM. Great looking car, but been ages since Ive seen it.

Here it is!

Maclarenf1, As promised. Only had two more pics -

Will have them one day once the engine side is sorted....

Silver LMGT4 looks really nice on a Black R34 GTR with Nismo Skirts and Spats with VS-2 bonnet. (not huge fan of the Nismo bonnet mind you)

This has being my inspiration for few years, which led to me buying my car... Not quite there yet !!!..

^ That looks very similar to God_Speed's car. Fantastic.

Maclarenf1, I'm assuming your car is black. Do you have any pics of it as is?

Pretty standard V-Spec [had a V-spec 2 badge, first thing to come off :) - hate fake badges] - had it for about 1.5 years now, ideally want to do around 1 track day maybe 3 month or so..once the engine is up to that, will think about the exterior...

Runs HKS-Fcon Vpro currently with Stage 1 mods (Only Turbo's to do - getting GT-SS / -9 at the end of the year and she is done)

Also came with some odd bits from japan too like 4 wheel drive controller, modified Diffs, heavy clutch, camber arms, oil cooler, NOT normal FINS on the rear diffuser and a mother of strut bar :)

Currently Runs 239.9 AWKW with 1 Bar + Cam gears on high and stock boost on Low (HKS EBC).

Looks fantastic maclarenf1, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm no pro, but if you ever think I may be able to help with some buffing tips - just give me a yell.

M-spec inspired seats sound good, black leather i assume.

Very Nice!

...and some person is privileged to have both VS2 & R-Tune bonnets...

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
