Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

^ peak power is not everything chase the torque it lasts longer and dosnt require as much thrashing to get around with some decent power plus you can spank people in the wrong gear :)

Oh dont worry, ive got more down low torque than most worked V8's, but i dont run out of steam half way through like they do! lol!

yeah im sure ya do. was intending that for damo ive seen to many go the path of just getting a number to brag with :P

ive seen the grim mobile in action like 4years ago. 1st car i seen shoot flames on the street and the way that turbo sqeelz sounds pretty crazy.

we did have it on film but the stupid cam broke :P

2swift ring any bells mayb not cause the driver didnt put in a good effort at the time :)

Ha ha Inline, yeah GRIM is a lil bit nasty with the flame side of things...its a good way of making people not sit to close to the back of the car when driving!

Yeah you got a mild taste of it on the weekend Roo, keep in mind thats only at 13 psi, wait until we add the other 10psi to it! lol!

Oh, I'm fully aware of the lack of the 10psi Ben :P But I do agree you'd want AWD back when you've dialled in the new boost.

I've wound my boost back to 7psi from 10psi since swapping the turbo, until I can get the SAFC and tune her properly. When I get the SAFC, and do the shift kit, I'll run 13psi and that'll be it performance wise. Like I said earlier, its for that reason that I can't spend stupid money getting stupid power. Been there, done that, many times over. If I wanna go fast now, thats what my bikes are there for :P

... but I have no quarrels riding in the cars of others who have done it :)

Another day.... another defect :D yay.....

That sucks! :(

Me and the GF were out getting takeaway last night and a cop car ahead slowed right down so I caught up with him (me in the LH lane, him in the RH lane). Then the cops took a long hard look at the Stagea ... I turned into the takeaway shop I wanted and I saw them pull across the two lanes and park up the road. They must have given up, by the time we got our order they couldn't wait :D

Yeah it sucks but everyone is lending a hand which reduces my anger by alot! Adrian is helping with wheels and suspension which ive already collected!

(Cheers bro :D) Luke enr34 is going to lend me stock 32 steering wheel :) and yeah i might be getting a stock uncut front bar from another friend!

You have to squeeze the caliper pistons back into the caliper either using a proper tool, a G clamp or two screw drivers....

MIN, a baffle plate between the cat flanges will do the trick.

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater

      Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
