lol u remind me of my mate with his mazda mps - he dumps the clutch all the time & i ask him why?

to be honest ive never seen anyone do that in gtr whilst rolling, on launch im all for it though :)

sounds tough :)

Thats me showing my annoyance from going over the ripple strip...releaves the frustration ;)

Looks like a weapon!!!!

A fair bit of choo choo chooing going on there.... Have you tried the "twin turbo pipe mod"?

great suggestion paul!

your new setup wont have this problem with the hard pipe kit anyway :thumbsup:

I had the same happen to me yesterday...had to re-post

I feel the twin turbo pipe mod may cause some restriction on the front turbo. I would rather go with a HKS or chinese hard pipe kit that has a smooth transition. I am looking at installing 6boost manifolds so will need a custom setup to suit anyway as the rear turbo outlet fouls on Kyle's manifold.

how much can u get the chinese hard pipe kit for?

ive heard the jap pipe kits are close to 2k ;)

beware of aftermarket manifolds & subsequent cracking

i know that mark berry did a back2back test with his hi octane r32gtr which was making over 400rwkw & in fact he lost mid range power with tomei extremes manifolds (top end was was within 1kw of the factory port matched manfolds)

The Chintech kit is around $320 bucks. I have fitted one. It wasn't perfect and the Ypipe is really thin but the car did make more power everywhere.

Yeah, I'm not real impressed with the stainless mani's I also feel I have lost some mid range. Did Mark's test reviel that the STD cast manifolds gave him more mid range over the Tomei's? I feel the 6 Boost would be better again than OEM....just a wee pain to fit up.

Matt.

Wasn't it you that was selling that duel entry ARC cooler a few months ago? I know it was 70 mm but that is/was a awsome kit. You didnt want to run it on this weapon?

Yeah that was me. I have the M105 ARC cooler now. Love ARC. Will go back to the twin turbo pipe replacement when I change the Manifolds. I was unsure if the M75(70mm) was going to cool and flow what I needed so upgraded.

yeah the comparison was between the tomei's vs standard (not sure about 6boost)

i dont understand - are u going back to the factory twin turbo pipe?

I have the factory pipe now. We made 824hp with a similar setup and the factory pipe so it is definately not a restriction. Will look at an aftermarket Y pipe in the future.

are u looking at running the baffle mod in the factory pipe as well?

u getting any shuffle/surge on light throttle under low revs?

best way test it, 50kmh in 4th then flatten the throttle

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
