How/why would other shops make a fuss if you play with timing at a dyno day ??? that's horsesh*t!

I could've got around 230hp and a much nicer power curve with my cas-bashing i reckon! the difference was AMAZING!

I need to get dump/front pipe, hiflow cat, safc tuned, pod partition....

hey memphis, let me know how you go with the dump pipe difference!

ps. how long did it take for your old spoiler to be cut'n'shut for the gt wing ?

hmmm, guy had my car for like...1 week, painted my rims n refitted the skirts, then it took an extra 2 weeks (due to problems)

Definatly worth the wait though!

Cost me $700 all up with the rims, skirt refitting and the boot. We also did the skyline badge at the back so it illuminates at night.

Gavs GTR made 318 before and made 343 in shootout but was running more boost than before so very close 25HP at higher boost in a GTR would be right. ( we will try Gavs car out of shootout mode soon).We tryed shootout and the old way and a S15 made 271 with out shootout 274 with it we tryed

a few runs in each mode to make sure .Most WA shops have this

package now so ask for it when testing your car.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
