Paul - be aware the 2540's will be horrible on the track. Especially the tracks you guys have where you are on and off the throttle a lot.

I know changing turbo's is no big deal but it is something to consider as for a track car they don't get much worse than 2540's for a set-up. (unless it has a 3.0L engine)

Everyone,

Firstly thanks for your input.

Although im going to track this R32 it still has to get me to work 2-3 times a week, thats about 5000km per year, the J-Boy thing looks nice but with the cage and everything else it is a little too trackie and not enough streetie for me. And the main thing is its in QLD and rego swap and that side of the hassle. Im keen to also learn the black art of suspension set up and do it my way.

After driving the 2540's Im happy, boost was on full at about 4000 rpm, and a fatter mid range is possible once the outlet and inlet is freed up from the restrictions (2.5 cat and STD airflow's) and cams are worked for mid range. Keep in mind I do have a 3lt animal donk ready to drop in so I think I will stick with the vspec.

I have had very few people telling we its a rip off and too expensive, so Im happy to part with the cash. I have advised that I will take the car and a deposit will be coming on Friday.

Thanks everyone for your opinions, and I will unveil the final product on the 2nd Aug once its completed and registered. Im taking the car for 2 weeks to track ready her before I push her round the track and put it on the road!

New post to come!

Thanks again everyone.

FYI,

I have paid a deposit on the car and have it at home, I will pay for it in full next week when it gets registered.

The engine comes out this weekend to have the sump baffle put in, and a few there things as well. Beers will be on for anyone who wants to pop in, except fatz, he will slow production and drink all the resources!

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
