*THINKING* of getting into a clubman - Caterham, PRB, Westfield etc. Wanna go faster on the hillclimbs and track days. :)

Also picking up an old R31 to just run around in, park on the street and not worry about it all the time etc.

Still just tossing ideas around.

Not sure on price yet... not expecting to get the money from the mods back (usually not how it works) but would like the transition into a decent Lotus Seven replica to be at least a financially neutral affair... >_<

I'll probably post a proper "for sale" next week if you guys reckon it's worth a try on here.

whatever you do don't advertise on boostcruising...all you get are dreamers who will offer you 10k cash :laugh:

Having said tht, it won't be easy selling a 34 nowadays..every seller out there is one more that is helping to bring the prices down :(

Yeah its a tough market as I am finding out first hand. I cant sell my clean 94 33 for 11k :(

What is it with people offering swaps lol. I have had 5 seperate people from carsales contact me offering me swaps ie. a R1(moto), vs commodore, silvias etc I think that definatly says something about the second hand car market, at least as far as imports are concerned..... its DEAD>

John at GMR in fairfield, just goes on about you car mate, was saying how good a tune it has !!!..so if you have such a nicely sorted R34 - hmmm...why bother selling it to a market that is quite surely DEAD :laugh: ...

hehe yeah he loves me because i've funded his kids' dental bills i reckon. :laugh: plus he gets to drive it occasionally.

rob from chiptorque did an awesome tune for me, i couldn't believe the difference, not really in outright numbers but just how well it comes on boost now. mental.

it's a combination of things really, during the week i drive this awesome car through boring traffic and leave it parked all day. i'm totally paranoid about leaving it elsewhere despite having a paging alarm system (eg. on the street in the valley or something) and don't have a second car.

the other factor is i do want to keep racing, and to go any further with this car and get it going genuinely fast will involve a full engine rebuild, forged bits, 2-way LSD, pulling weight out of it, bigger turbo, half cage, fuel system upgrade etc etc and it all just gets very very very expensive.

i'm not 100% sold on the clubman idea yet, still have to get my arse into one and see what i think, but i get the feeling the 34 will feel like a bus after i drive one. they're so light! so the theory is to sell the 34 to fund getting a clubman, and have an "ordinary" car that i won't be tempted to modify and spend $1000's on to do the daily driver stuff in.

in theory. :)

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
