I was actually talking about GTS-t's/GT-T's but even still, what are you going to do to go past 175awkw....

Stock box, cooler, Turbo's and ECU are good up to around the 300 mark.

Exhaust is very hard to get one under EPA limit, but just tunning and tweaking ATM making sure it is running nice. But my car isn't setup for drags. It is setup for tarmac/track for cornering :spank:

Doesnt matter. You won’t make 300kws at the wheels with std turbos or ECU, probably even need injectors. The best you will get is about 260kws. Anyway, See you at the track. Be good to have a 260kw GTR at the track again for us RWD folk to chase :P

you're dreaming if you think you can reliably boost a stock gtst turbo to 300rwkw :P

as for exhausts, i know of 2 very quick 500hp GTRs with ultra quiet custom exhausts. RPM for the win. :P

nark, I don't believe I misinterpretted it, he said they were asked to leave quitely, and the ones who didn't were mostly the ones getting pulled over.

Being asked to leave quietly is way above and beyond any duty of care that the owners of the business have, they didn't have to say anything at all.

What's the condition of the road?

Are there lots of nice black tyre marks all over the road?

The announcer SUGGESTED that people leave quietly and people DID leave quietly, they did this because they feared loss of business if the police started defecting left right and centre, not as a favour. There are no marks on the road in front of drag tag, even though it's an industrial area. The people leaving weren't and haven't been doing burnouts.

Just to clarify.

I have been to dragtag on several occasions. The announcers make a point of saying not to rip it up as you leave as it is public road and not the controlled conditions of a concrete walled burnout pad with a safety fence around it.

The dragtag guys are very road safety orientated and want people to get home safely.

99.9% of people do leave quietly, no burnouts, loud music or revving for the sake of it.

I dont say 100% because i dont think that is achievable.

thats pretty harsh...and if thats not labelling you based on the car you were driving I dont know what is. Fair enough if you got a defect if there was a problem, but how can they tell you to never come back to a public place when all you did was get some food??? Not like you were causing havoc

Good point, but to be honest, I´d take the cops advice.

Suppose some shit starts up again, you could get caught up in it, or even get your car stolen if someone needs to get away in a hurry.

Maccas is sh!t anyway. Find another fast food joint. This one is just not worth the hassle.

Yes, it sucks that you´re getting picked on for driving an import in to macdonalds, but it is a macdonalds that has a reputation for all sorts of stupidity for people in fast cars (though the amount of those people who drive imports can be debated). The cops have to be seen to be doing something, so they pick on people at the noble park maccas (Site of the now "infamous Noble Park Riots" -Thanks ACA)

It´s not right that you should have to change the location of your favourite grease fix, but, well, life is like that. You can get Macdonalds most anywhere, but if it is going to cost you $168 a pop, I´d be switching to something else. It could also mean that the next time something starts, your car could get mashed by troublemakers, or mashed by police.

Yes, you could fight it. Scream injustice. Picket and Petition, but really, is it worth it?

Maybe call the Macdonalds Australia line and tell them exactly what happened. Maybe they´ll have a case fro loss of business due to police harrassment, but I doubt the vic cops will worry too much.

Just a question on this...what is the fine for? (in this case $168). In WA if we get pulled over and the gar looked over and yellow stickered (defected) then we have to fix whatever the defect was for, take it over the pits and get the yellow sticker removed. Apart from paying to go over the pits, we dont have to pay anything. There is no fine associated with it.

I hear Noble Park KFC is good!!!!!!!! :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
