Can we have stockest looking OMGWTF power making car?

I have a sneaking suspicion I know which car will take that one out,but feel free to better the effort! So far,from a local car,549 AWKW is the mark to beat from something v. neat,v. tidy and v. streetable IMHO. Go stealth!

If your talking about JUN I wouldn't call that a street car.

Define street car.Anything turn key reliable,able to make such a figure on pump fuel,can run to the shops and back without fouling plugs or overheating,of reasonably legal ride height,able to contain more than one person...dunno;missed anything else?

Yes but does it actually do all those things I wouldn't think so.

Street car in theory, yeah ok - but in reality I doubt it sees the street that much.

It's a beautiful car I would probably do the same.

It does do those things,and then some. At some stages it's daily driven to work and parked outside with the nasty weather and all ;) ...so,in my eyes,it's open to that particular award of 'normal looking,BIG power'. Although,in fairness,CEF11E said even standard looking when you pop the bonnet,so the cars I've been thinking of would lose out on that count.

There's a few other cars with slightly less(and one with more)power that could be nominated,but they'd either be too showy from either the outside or under the bonnet for the stealth idea,but there's many other suggested brackets they could be placed in...

I'm more ticked off that my car is not further down the build process to be able to be seen... :) Then again,those that know it already know where I'm heading :) !

Here's what 460+ AWKW looks like without high mount twins or a big single...Unfortunately,it's not an ACT SAU'er,but from the outside is a very(VERY) neat 32 without the bling most people put on their rides.

Just thought I'd post up a nice piccie for some inspiration... :)

I know where yours is heading Jayce, but I dont know if you'll have it all done by the end of this year...

But incase you do, we'll have a 32 V-spec2 with pearl paint and big power category just for you. :teehee:

Well anywho, thanks for the enthusiasm guys, I hope we'll get this off the ground for next year cos I'll definatly be entering the best 32 Gtst category!

I know who gets my vote for the biggest power in the non skyline bracket. And it is a true ACT built and tuned car and thats ESP with their WRX 515kw and BMW with a supra engine 530kw. Maybe you could have price brackets aswell as most people don't have an open cheque book for what it takes to pay someone to build them a 500kw plus car with all the goodies.

Thanks for the pics of Paul and Staceys car Jayce. Still reckon you can't beat the twins for the street.

In agreeance there;massive performance from Dan' and Glenn's stable! And yes,P + S's 32 is one of my all time faves! Hence why I'm sticking with twins!

The unlimited vs limited budget idea is taken on board,too!

Cheers,J;have a top New Years!

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
