Hey guys, I thought we could have a bit of fun with the upcoming dyno day and run a competition to see who can guess closest to the little black beast's power figure. Here are all the specs and lets start bidding. You got to remember that this is a track weapon and demands respect :no:

*1997 model Toyota Starlet 3dr ADM (Aus Spec)

*1.3 ltr DOHC 4EFE or SR13DE in Nissan terms

*260,000+ Kms

*Many years of shameless abuse from both me and Dj On Ice

*Recent Oil and filter change

*Rear end Parking damage

*Lightweight wheel nuts

*1 Skylines Australia Texikhana competition

*Skylines Performance sticker

*Several skidpan days

*New Clutch!!

*Fluffy Dice

Exact power figure to the nearest whole number

I will take suggestions for the prize but now it stands at a Free drive of the Mighty Starlet, but not on the streets, no, somewhere you can handle it, like an abandoned runway or racetrack.

And for all those serious guessers, I will be running only the best, BP Ultimate with Octane boost to get those few extra watts

Here goes first bid

TURISMO 15 FWKW, Im underguessing so I'm not to dissapointed :)

P.S. No cheating and finding the factory KW's of the net, because they would be useless after all this car has gone through

OK... I haven't logged on in a while and for those of you who don't know that I own the Starlet (how depressing LOL :-P).... REECE (TURISMO) didn't ask me about this!!!!!.... ALL THE SAME!... Much respect my brother! LMFAO... This is going to be awesome....

So come on people... can you guess it? ;-)

Oh and it should have been "Many years of SHAAAAAMELESS abuse from both me and Dj On Ice" :-P. We have so much love for that little car!

.... Wait a minute... I don't have fluffy dice in the car.... (but before you ask... yes, yes it has been christend)

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
