Looks awesome, credit to you buddy. What are the thoughts of the guys from HKS about the Hypertune manifold, did they comment in comparison to any of the Japanese branded products?

Honestly they were pretty impressed with the workmanship but there were a few mods to be done to make it all fit which isnt the japanese way, it wasnt a straight fit.

Here it should come from the maker and fit straight off the bat.. thats how they do business here and thats why some parts are expensive..

Barr that,... that they are looking forward to tuning and seeing what differences there are are if any against jap manufacturers..

Personally I think they will be suprised

Hey Mark,

The excitement is palpable. It seems like its all falling into place now. All the shiny bits in the engine look good.

Cheers

Matt

We are going to do first tune this fri and sat then its holiday time here until Jan 4th.

Then some more dyno tuning and then taking the car down for Tokyo auto salon and some fun and more road tuning on the highways...

Japanese tuning maybe more conservative but a hell of alot more fun..!!

u must have had a big night lol

sounds very nice...congrats! what hard pipe kit is that, hks? can you also verify if that top pipe sits any higher than the stock top pipe with 'twin turbo' badge?

Yeah Marko was a big night !!

The Piping is HKS Racing Suction Kit and no it doesnt sit higher than the stock pipe. We had to do some mods on it but that was due to turbo setup.

looks real sweet in the flesh.

Car is being dynoed as I type and should be ready for pickup on Monday and a run in drive to Auto Salon...Cant bloody wait!! :rant:

Hey Mark,

Any updates yet? You must be having too good a time at the TAS. I was there last year, spent two days drooling over the cars (and the girls of course!)

I am so eager to see how your dyno goes

Cheers

Cheers fellas !!

Just got into Yokohama an hour ago and cracking another beer aka medicine!

Got the Ferry over to the top of Honshu and drove all day to Tokyo.

Left Aomori this morning and was dumping snow but the new grumpy beast was like a cop in shit and had no trouble.

HKS guys have done a run in tune setup and limiter is set at 4000rpm and very low boost but was able to cuise the highway sitting on 130-140kph all the way down.

Matt I've been to Auto Salon a few times but first time bringing my 33 with me.

Not sure yet but either go to Mines open day tomorrow and Salon on Sunday or other way round.

I'm staying just down the road from Daikoku Futo so will be hitting that tomorrow and will take heap of pics and some video.

When I get back the car will have the boost ramped up and more tuning of Fcon then bit more driving and final dyno run at full boost plus we are going to set a scramble boost of 2 Bar on boost controller for those 30 secs hits of fun.

Then it will be time to throw some body parts on.

I've got new genuine 400R front Bar and Nismo lip to go onbut want to do it when the car gets to OZ so they'll be going over in a container with a bunch of other parts and wheel sets.

I'll try upload some pics of Auto Salon etc over the weekend..

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
