Cheers Pete, it does feel good! :D I have to thank you the most, they are your turbos after all! :rofl2: Just a shame I had some gremlins stopping me from running full boost, would have broken 320kw me thinks

Dave, yeah it does sound good mate, pity you didn't hear it on the rollers, hit up my facebook soon though and you can see the run!

anyone get defuct last nite at lofty?

a couple of my mates got done by unmarkers :)

yeh i got a msg from mitch last night.. was gonna take the rolla for a strap but thought twice!!

must be mass cop heat atm!

welcome to the 300 club buddy boy

yeh welcome to the 300 club Luke

awesome power curve on that dyno sheet u got there. welldone

also god to see you went to Morpowa, Simon is a GREAT bloke down there and very helpful

how does it feel on the road???

ACTUALLY... I ended up going to Shaun at boostworx ( long story, I know I changed my mind more times than I changed my undies :) ) but I'm very impressed with the power and it's delivery. Feels sweet as on the road, struggles a bit for traction though, putting the front shaft back on tomorrow when I get her on the hoist. Simon commented on the tune, in his words "perfect" Couldn't get any better praise than that. I think he wanted me to move to E85 though :P

what was the "knock" reading if u dont mind me asking

Well, the results are in if anyone cares... Had a boost controller issue, only able to wind 16psi into it but still good numbers!

Noice! Well done. Stuck with 16psi ... what were you aiming for? 20+?

I'd be happy with 200 out of the Stag when I'm done.

bought a new family car today, not a skyline/stag sadly, but decent none the less.

got a 2000 Holden Vectra olympic edition in metallic blue, 107k power everything etc.

they where asking 9999, managed to screw them on a 4 k trade in for the 99 auto 1.5ltr lancer..hehe

so $5999 cash on top of shitty lancer, im happy with that.

20 would be the MAX, more like 18psi. Either way I'm happy with the results

I am hopefully going to be getting 250rwkw or above out my R33 around September/October time.

Fantastic power mate, MORE than plenty really. After driving the R around in RWD mode, you realise just how much 300+kw is. 250 is a very respectable figure

20 would be the MAX, more like 18psi. Either way I'm happy with the results

Should've read "stuck on 16psi" not "stuck with 16psi" ... not like you had a choice by the sounds of it.

Obviously you ran it on AWD. I'll be squeezing my lemon later in the year to see what I can get out of it ... in AWD also (and a manual box conversion).

I recall Ben (Grim) passing comment to run 24psi in this stag eventually. Be interesting what he gets out of that "family wagon".

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
