i hear what your saying Son dont worry.

but these guys know what they are talking about, and they know what the limits are of the drivetrain etc when it comes to it no matter what kind of car it is.......

for example CAPA have a black ss ute that i think has the 800hp blower on it and that is running a fully stock transmission!! and they havent had an issues at all even with 30+ dyno runs.

it comes down to what i want to do. if i decide i am gonna keep her as show and dyno queen (which im happy to do) ill be fine....

ehm, the 'fully stock bro' transmission in any recent(ish) ss is a tremec t56, basically its a tank of a gearbox, capable of handling stupendous torque loads, everything is oversized and beefed up in a t56, takes a left arm made of iron to shift though. they make rb25 transmissions look like theyre made of glass. why do you think big power drag skylines run after market gearsets or even built autos and hollingers? because the stock gear set will shit the bed when it tries (in vain) to introduce nigh on 700hp to the pavement through a set of grippy tyres...

and youve gotta remember, the load on a cars driveline on a dyno is pretty minimal, and strain is built gradually, start in second gear, slip into 4th at 60km/h, then into WOT. very easy on a driveline compared to slipping the clutch at 4000rpm on slicks.

the 5spd R34 box wont handle the power, the torque will strip off the gears quick smart or brake a shaft. dynos maybe ok, but one drag launch kiss it good bye if you have traction ? if it doesnt break the half shaft will or drive shaft...drag racing kills parts, its a $$$$ option to drag a skyline with audio gear in it

aluminum flywheels kill your low end grunt feel, I had one for 11 years. good for track days, good punch out of corners , lousy for street duty or stoplights on hills..lol add a 3 plate clutch makes it worse,, on or off only?

chro molly is a better choice .

Im not a holden freak but Im semi sure they run a Getrag 6 spd box, same as a supra TT and vette.. much much better box then the 5spd, way stronger

close, see above, tremec t56, used in dodge vipers, z06's, ss commodores, and im reasonably sure turbo falcons use them also. big heavy f**kin boxes, but nigh on unbreakable.

in the latest HPI theres an article on an R33 gtr, and i quote "with a figure of 530hp at the fours, second gear and an input shaft from an OS-Giken cross-set were smashed to pieces"

Does it say how long he was running it though? depending on who ya know and what you can do yourself sometimes its better to just replace the standard item than go all out. i know people that run turbo swifts with the special 4wd jap version box at a cost of 7k a box while some just run the standard box and replace it every 2 years when it blows from the extra power.

also you might wanna think about the amount of cash thats getting thrown up on ideas to spend, you could say do a round would tour while ya still young enough to enjoy it :P or alternatively invest it and look to retire early. or dump it on a drag car that will break parts no matter what you mod it with. at the end of the day something gonna snap sooner or later.

yeah, its pretty average, and im rather disappointed. the front pipe (from the same mob) is pretty good by the looks of it, the dump pipe however, as you can see, is pretty f**kin horrid.

Man thats pretty ugly Dave.

Good to see grey imports off the msn site, replaced by locally available http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/803971...speed-car-crash

Got a mtric tap and die set here if you want to try clean the threads out a bit Dave.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
