Lol Dan, 34 power? i have the slowest car out of most turbo owners lol

dont give me that weak talk, u know its a sleeper. i heard you had enough nos in there to blow us all up.

as if it aint gonna spank a stock 32gts and i seen that crazy dirt drift affair u pulled :(

i dont relax n have a good time when my gtr is out of sight norman i have some issues. maybe if buy 1 of those motorbike chains and bolt it to someone elses car or something :spank: besides GTR's are overrated

^^^^ gold madaz aint seen that movie in ages.

can we stop n terrorise a small town on the way home :blink:

n expect to be attacked in murray bridge if you go through late at night, locals sit n wait for anything that looks like a sports car to race :)

meeting the whens? lol what you smoking :(

I'm excited cant wait! Definitely high probable chance of going unless something unexpected goes BANG. Need to get the doof doof sorted out by then too! Previous car drove to and from Melbourne had the sound cranking hard the whole way there and back it was awesome :(

might be keen, probably wont take my car if i do though, hate to think how much the 4L would chew through on that trip... :(

ill see if i can get the time off first, apparently basically every day is booked until after april (be working for my 21st, yay...).

mmmmmm ROAD trip

umm i am now really thinking of making it to this one

sounds like a lot of fun

driving to melb and back

so far i am by myself so if someone wants a seat and chip in with some $$ i am happy to take someone with me

i will see when my holidays are as well

you going on the freeway all the way? or great ocean road?

Either way, the drive to melbourne is a nice one, not too long etc.

Would be very keen, got a couple things i want to fix on my car first before then, and depending whether or not i'm going to melbourne in march will determine whether i go or not :P strike me down as a probably.

Krishy if you budget around the 600 mark for fuel then thats only 300 each you and 1 passenger have to put in get another passenger and its 200 but less room for luggage

last time we went freeway and it was a good trip will probably go the same route

dont forget to get two way radio's a must to pass safely on our busy hwy's and great fun when boredom kicks in

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
