many moons ago when I was living at home some cops came round one Sat arvo...

I walk outside to see them inspecting my old 33... started to chat to them and apparently a neighbour had dobbed us in as we had a loud car that was waking them up in the morning... I asked them what time and they said approx 5:30am... There was no way it was me as I never get up that early so I took them out the back to show them my dad's old Alfa Giulia GTC... they just laughed and asked to hear it... I gave it a few revs for them and they said nice car and left promptly lol... that car is seriously loud, I did used to feel a bit sorry for the neighbours! lol made my 33 sound positively quiet in comparison :bunny:

Hahaha nice one!

Im yet to get a visit from the po po's but im sure in the near future they will be knocking at my door :bunny:

That yellow Panspeed fd is automotive porno!

Looking good Dane. Do me a favour, and feel free to tell me to get stuffed...but i think the thing that will make your car will be the carbon flush fit headlight kit that deletes the pop up headlights.

If Greg's Onevia was white i would have bought it already as my daily. I wuodl throw the headlight conversion on it and be stoked! I would then change my name to Ben and track spec my GTSt. It seems all the cool kids with track GTSts these days go by the name of Ben :laugh:

You can tell me to get rooted too but I agree with Roy here, I reckon the carbon lights would look schweet.

Bris, I have your solution, my girl is up for sale, how about I send her over to you? :D You can even leave the name stickers on the window so everyone thinks you're one of the cool "Ben's" .

Great minds must think alike hey boys??! You can both get stuffed, and rooted... :laugh:

I'm way ahead of you, already have these waiting to go in, hence why there's no headlights in there :D Unfortunately they're not carbon though... The stock headlights weigh a fair bit, and were complicated to wire and just unnecessary so we decided to delete them with the Supermade kit. Now I juts need to get some lights for it, but it will make for a great cold air feed until then.

Greg's Onevia is a top buy Troy, nice car. Then you'll have a real engine, none of this RB rubbish :D

yeah you want some of these bad boys. it's the wtg for 180.

in fact if I ever do a 180 it will be a replica of that one. I saw it when it was debuted at tokyo auto salon a few years back and it was awesome then, and it's awesome now! lol, and nomuken even signed shit for me next to it, then pulled funny faces while I took pictures. fun times.

The 180 has a heart beat! :laugh:

that's awesome!

the headlight kit will look the goods on your car...

if my onevia was white, I probably wouldn't have bothered building up my silvia, I decided I wanted a white s13 not long after I imported the blue one... smooth.

I think im in love with those URAS kits...if only they did them for 33s and Id be set

Haha smooth Greg!

Yeah, I think the headlight kit will tie in well with the whole black/champagne thing I've got going on, especially when the carbon bonnet goes back on, though it's looking a little worse for wear...

Baron: I dig the Uras kit too mate, pity it came out after I'd spent way too much on the bodywork already. It looks to make a good base for some underbody aero work too.

Selling her? Any particular reason? Shame, the thing looked to be a decent little bus, and no doubt well driven.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
