well its a bit of a hybrid actually...HKST51R housings upgraded to T62 spec...108mm compressor. So it looks like a T51R but goes like a 62. 1200ps.

it means nothing...

our number plate reads TWO.06L...meaning two point six litre.

some people when making up custom plates use a 6 as a G

my mate one day was looking at the plate and asked us "what does twoogl mean"?

we had a laugh and explained to him that it meant 2.6litre...and that the 6 was not meant to be a G but actually a 6...

he said nah stuff it im now gonna call it "twoogle"

this name stuck and has grown to even been included in the drag records lists and in magazine articles

its weird how some nicknames evolve and stick

so thats how the car got stuck with such a silly nickname

Nice work cant w8 to see this best run down the strip. how much power you hoping to have in it now.

need 900hp at the treads to run the 8.90 im aiming for.

the turbo should provide the power...if not ill give it a spray. :D

Just found this thread today also. Twoogle was actually an inspiration to stick with the twins for my 32 and hence the GTR-S's on it now. you defo had the sort of torque i'll be looking for when mines finally finished. You ready to cough up those cam specs yet. :geek: haha. Still interested to see how you go with the T51r though.

My Friend and tuner that owns the workshop I use up here in townsville is building a 26/30 running a brand new HKS t51r spl thats going into a 180 sx so interested to see what sort of power can be made from the big singles.

Good luck Paul and keep the updates coming.

We got the torque curve even flatter with the final tune using Sonoco. The option to upgrade to this new set-up at no cost was too hard to pass up, but i will always be a fan of the twin low-mounts.

The cams we used on the low mount set-up were big JUN's... :geek:

Humm big JUNs. That helps....haha. Well I've bought a pair of tomei 10.25 lift 260s but i also have a 10.25, 270 exhaust to try as well. What do you reckon? On the right track at all to make these hks's work well?

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
