Had them done after I got the car,

chuck Taran a PM, he did them for me, I assume he still has all the information as they had to be made up off pics and measurements i took. If not I can have a look for his email.

Got some Gaskets in friday, and some nice gold engine paint to match the wheels :D Though now im starting to think about getting some red paint and doing the calipers aswell

car finally arrived in perth, after much hassle. id recommend to stay clear of Moving cars/CEVA (TNT) when transporting cars. my car arrived in perth only to be accidently sent back to Adelaide. No reason given. Once it finally arrived they drove they car from the yard out to me, it idled for 2 min max and ran out of fuel. Its a condition of transport that your car has 1/4 tank of a fuel. f**k knows where the 1/4 tank went. was offered no fuel or compensation. treated pretty rudely and was denied the contact details of any managers to speak to.

either way

put the car on dyno just to check afrs, lucky i did cos it runs very lean once on boost.

run was stoped at 6500 rpm due to afrs, but managed 301 rwhp at 14 psi. reving to 8200 limit surely gain a few more ponies especially with 292 cams.

im confident itll get 400+ rwhp once it gets a safer tune and some boost into her

car i in better condition then i had thought, and has had outragous amounts of money spent on it

Dude this car is in Perth now :P I gotta come have a look see for myself. What are your plans for it?? road regoed? motorsports? Good to see another DR in Perth, especially one of this calibre. I like the black bottom half pic too.

yer will be road regod, no motor sport

just fast streeter, see what itll do at drags and maybe take to track day to kill some tyres legally

engine is real noisey, like every fj. But with the cams it almost has a rotory engine note at idle.

it drives nice, isnt powerful down low but deff not doughie

at around 4k even off boost u can feel car surging fwd, once turbo is on song car just flys. revs up so fast on street. 2nd gear is completely useless even on 255 R comps.

i havent taken any corners yet with any kind of throttle so i got no idea of how it handles in that regaurds

hee hee, yeh when I first drove my DR with 330hpatw on tap it certainly made the old freckle pukker up a bit and yeh I have 225 rubber on the rear as well and even in 3rd they light up pretty easy. Haven't been up to it's tuned 19psi/355atw yet, would be fairly interesting I would imagine. As far as corners are concerned I have found that on boost sideways is the best way around :D

Hey Ross

Nice ride did you have much trouble with WA rego? I'm keen for any updates on this beast as I've just aquired IronmaskedDR30's DR and in the process of building a motor for it the ex race motor from Mark Alford's sunny. Can't wait to get this baby running.

I've been for run in mine with previous owner :woot: very street drivable until you mash the throttle :) and we had slight 3rd gear traction issues :lol:

Deza

I heard this car was sold back to QLD and a fuel can placed in the boot.

It moved and shorted out the battery....KABOOM one dead DR.

Hope that's not the case :P

definately went back over east.. i was looking at buying it

hopefully the kaboom part isnt true though :D

the engine bay in that thing was unreal, definately had alot of time and money spent on it, and hearing the idle of the 292's was porn!

Ahoy all.

Yes its true, i bought the dr, and it now resides in qld. There was a fire in the boot during transport, however is now all fixed. Car is now 2 tone blue/gun metal grey. Just retrimming the interior at the moment.Brakes have been upgraded to 4 pot calipers at the front, however i would like to change these to larger units if i can find something suitable., Hydraulic handbrake fitted,and a lot more work gone into the engine bay. Bellhousing has been replaced with a one off dellow unit as the one it had was not quite right, and a beefier clutch is being sussed (adequate at the moment, but not for long) New fuel system (existing system was going to be inadequate for the levels of boost i am planning to run), and water meth injection also with the aim of 35psi boost. Hope to have some pictures up soon. By the way i am chasing a couple of excellent condition trim parts for the car, chrome front door trims (the ones that sit atop the door at the bottom of the window), the chrome trims that sit around the rear side windows, and the side r/h rear skirt that sits behind the rear wheel and runs to the rear bumper. The ones i have are ok, but would like some mint ones to really finish it off. Cheers all.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
