Hey Brendon - don't wanna hijack your thread with my woes.

Actually not that bad - just a minor leaky headgasket late last year, but gave me an "excuse" to drop out the motor and strip it down. One thing has led to another and now have.......new head, oversize valves, drag head gasket, smaller -5 terbs, smaller IC, Tomei manifolds, smaller Nismo plenum.

Am now a full on "response adict" lol. Gunna cost me top end (and prolly prevent me cracking the elusive 10s 1/4), but should give me a serious amount of mid range torque.

Trying to get everything back together for MV - maybe possible but will only have a "skid tune" at best lol

Looking forward to a big season of sprints, track and Targa events :P

Managed to pick up 'Best Engineered & Underbody' in the 'Late Model Performance' category at Motorvation #22 at the weekend. Considering this car show'ss mainly oriented to more Street Machines, Hot Rods and Muscle Cars, I was pretty happy that an import picked this one up.

Well thats cool, as I have a lot of parts off my S13 on the GTR. THough the GTR is in need of some attention now and since I ahve moved all my tools are in storage, it is time to let the baby out to a workshop me thinks, just need to find some one I trust now that I am living in Perth. It would also help if I could get my Aprilia back so I would have some wheels.

    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
