I wish i didnt miss that! i had to leave at 3pm as i had a wedding to rush off to...

Nick (WARLORD) - Mate what an animal your car is! Congrats on the 308rw/kw... Was very nice to meet you and to have a chat.

Andrew (andygtr93) - Nice R32 GTR mate, the sound of that RB26 opening up made me want to go out and buy a GTR!

Edited by QRI05E
hey sarkis do you have a list of what everyone got??

Not yet i dont... ill have a chat to JEM tomorrow and see if i can get a copy... there are few cars re-booked next saturday cause we couldnt fit them in..

Cheers

WTF, man thats not cool this name calling biz :P .

in all fairness my mate with the dc5r was one of the guys that was pushed forward and sarkis did speak to the guy that was up next and got the O.K.

if u guys had a problem why didnt u speak up on the spot.

What are you talking about?

I think he was just saying how awesome that silver evo was with its dyno breaking 76kw atw :(

you quoted wrong...... and what name calling??????????? its harmless fun coz the evo f**ked up on the dyno and only made 76kw.... not my fault mitsubishi cant make a reliable car lol and if i was the owner after i calm down from wanting to beat the car up with a bat i'd get a skyline lol

and its not the one time a car was pushed forward, its that allot of cars were put forward..... to make it fair like at most events there are special circumstances for a car to cut the line but come on there was way too many cuts, in theory there were only 15 cars infront of me and i got there just before 10 and people who rocked up atleast 3 hours later when it suited them expect to get pushed forward because they have work or something???? just go to another dyno day theres one in less than a month at seven hills and if they really wanna get it done then rock up early like alot of us did and wait your turn.

eg a guy on here was number 13 and he had his dyno done an hour and a half before mine and i was the 3rd car behind him

6 and a half hours to get through theoretically 16 cars, thats less than 3 cars an hour and there were 2 dynos running, really doesn't make sence, makes the people who didnt go realise how many cut ins there were....

all i can say is looks like the Karma god got the AW FK (number plates)evo, i guess i been watching too much "my name is earl"

sorry had to write allot because looks like some people read too deeply into a few short words....

Maybe the evo guy needs to make a list too? :P

I do tend to agree that the line cutting was a bit extreme...dont get me wrong though, sarkis and jem did do a great job.

I think that it shouldve stayed "first in first served". Whether you have a 300kw silvia or a 15kw mightyboy, you wait in line just like everyone else.

I've got a bunch of pics and vids from the day. Will post up soon.

i was a bit putout by people jumping in front- i was the guy struggling to stay awake as iv been very sick and this was my first time out of the house since hospital. I had given up basically and just wanted to go to bed by the time my car got on, and i was thinking the only thing that could happen now is i could blow it up as the motor was so cold. I told him low boost, rev to 7 and see what it does, then went home straight after

Its not anyones fault tho/ Adam is great and was trying to give everyone a good rundown of how their car is running and hat takes time. Its annoying when you're waiting but its gold when its your turn.

Hey Jeff, it was real nice to meet you! and hope you feel better soon...

I do appologize for the Dyno entry order issue however we did our best to try and keep everyone as happy as possible but as you said Jeff, once each car was on the rollers i could see the huge grin of each owners face.

Next time round i think we will need to stick to the "first in first served" policy just to keep it fair for everyone and for anyone that comes late will be thir bad luck regardless of their circumstances.

Cheers

mate your a tool str8 up, you dont even know what the situation was with the car and then you go talk trash about how mitsubishi cant make a reliable car. WTF is up with that.

do you even know anything about evo's at all, do your research and stop running your mouth.

Guys,

We are not here to dis or talk down any cars especially without knowing all the facts... If you have a negative opinion please keep it to yourself unless you can back it up with evidence. That Evo was suspected to have collapsed CAT which choked the turbo from boosting it was not making any positive pressure.

In general im not a Mitzubishi fan either but the Evo is an amazing car... I wouldn't mind one if i had the cash.

Regards,

Sarkis

I'm pretty sure he was joking mate. Chillax please. :D

Yes please dont be too rash. I do think its in humour. It is unness. to get hyped up at people. Everone i have met in this club have been lovely and the nicest ppl i have been around in a very long time. Just allow the subject to drop now and leave it as i miscommunication between ppl.

I had a lovely day. Thanks Sarkis. All the guys at JEM did a great job and Adam was truly professional and helpful.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
