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".

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
