5years after the wrx crowd have gotten over the excitement of rotational idle and antilag you guys catch on haha. It might sound cool the fist few times but it gets old pretty quickly. Just watch those egt's.

yeah well it was only recently (vipec) that we have had access to a decent ecu that supports these options! (Vi-Pec)

The power FC is far behind in the times and we have been using them because it was the only way to go. Now there is a better alternative which packs all these options.

I only use cycle idle when i need it, usually on weekends and on my trip from Sydney to Newcastle to help with cooling. Only takes a couple of minutes to set it up and you are on your way.

on oil cooler yes, but BAD idea on radiator.

Ploise exploin!

I will be doing a lot of big smokey burnouts in my 32 and as such, these are the precautions I have ready to go on or have lined up:

- oil restrictors in head

- oil return from head to sump

- High Energy Pro-circuit sump

- oil cooler w/ thermo fan

- retain engine fan

- 2x11" thermos on front of radiator (removing aircon condenser etc)

Anything else I should be thinking of? should I be spraying coolers/radiator aswell?

unburnt fuel? ohhhh Mr Internet Mechanic....... man... rotatational idle works by cutting fuel to keep the revs down.. it is running lean not rich. rofl

the cooling happens because of all the fresh air getting pumped in and out of the engine not the excess fuel. :(

if u still after a larger sump, i read that "fitzpatrick speedworks" built his own 12L sump from memory for his 32gtr with a 25 block in it, maybe speek to him about a big ass sump.

oil/air seperator ?

Running an atmo vented catch can that will have a drain back to the sump.

Personally, I'd prefer to spend the 1100 odd $$ on a proven design ala High Energy Pro-circuit. I've seen some of the dodgy modded sumps around and they really don't look very nice. That being said, if anyone can find a sump that will fit an RB30'd R32GTSt that is of the same quality as the High Energy items and comes with baffles and 4 gates, please let me know :(

P.S. and I don't mean gates made out of door hinges!

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
