You'll all get a ride sooner or later :) .... I really don't think it's as exciting as you all make out :D .... and she'll be fairly stock, so it will be no PCOTY in terms of performance!

come on, u are asking about high flow turbo in other thread :crazy:

that GCG will pull 265rwkw! :uh-huh:

Sam - nah she is not sold yet - have had a few bites, but still waiting for the right person to come along.

Chapman - I am still throwing around various ideas at the moment - but I promised Carolyn I wouldn't be spending any money on this car. So I have already broken that promise, but I don't intend to spend much more.

I am, however, worried about the fragile nature of the nylon impeller on the R34 turbo -

hence my thoughts about a GCG rebuild/high flow.

Duc - nah not yet - I have other much more important things to spend money on at this stage. Plus, those roof-mounted things are illegal to use while the car is moving - as it supposedly distracts drivers behind you. If/when I do it, they will be 2 headrest mounted screens. I am hoping to put an all-in-one double din LCD screen/TV/DVD/MP3 player in sooner or later - like this one http://www.brashimports.com.au/CA1605.htm - just have to find the money first. I am hoping to come home from Vegas after some nice winnings and it may fund this and other mods. Fingers crossed.

hahah..

Sounds like a few lines I have thrown my other half.

Here's a few. :)

I need a new motor as this one has done quite a few kays and is 13yrs old, if we want to drive interstate we should really have a reliable new motor. :(

I need a PFC as the tune isn't the best and it will stuff the motor up if we drive interstate, it will also return better fuel economy.

I need injectors as they are maxed out and its dangerous for them to be running like that, the current ones are buggered and new ones that flow better will return better fuel economy for the drive interstate.

I need a bigger turbo as this one is running at its max all the time which is going to have it blow soon, if it blows it may damage the motor and we don't want it blowing while driving interstate.

:D

yeah, unfortunately (money-wise) we are shortly going on a month-long holiday to the USA, so money isn't exactly plentiful. But you get that.

Yes, the bill for getting it on the road is climbing and climbing - but now is the best time to play with wheels/disks, exhaust etc, while it is off the road! It will have quite a few toys, you know I can't help myself! But, it's still gonna be stock *cough* *cough*

Hey guys! I got it through the group buy that GR33dy organised, for $940 delivered. It left japan on friday, got to melbourne on monday, adelaide on monday night, and arrived here yesterday, then i picked it up at lunchtime today :D only problem is i have no car to install it in :D

    • 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.
