Went to archerfield to watch the drifting today, theres certainly some colorful characters out there, including a guy that looked like snoop dogg.

Now that I have sunburn that has turned purple I'm thinking I'll probably pack the sunscreen next time

Back in Brissy now :)

What's the plan for Thursday night? BnR at Chapel Hill? Steak?

It's also time to start getting some work done to my baby. Going to see if Fulcrum can have a look at my suspension some time this week, it has Tein Coilovers and an EDFC but I want to get it all checked over and get the car raised slightly so I'm not bottoming out all the time and I can hopefully eliminate some of the god damn wheel rubbing as well. Then it's off to Chris Rogers to get the Sat Nav/DVD/Radio all sorted. Once that's all done I need to find a decent workshop to get a full service done and get it up on a dyno to see what sort of power I'm making and where we can go from there.

I'm thinking the order of work to be done is as follows:

- Exhaust, 3" turbo back... currently have at least a cat back with a 5" tip but there are some exhaust leaks according to the pre purchase inspection I got done.

- Intake (not sure if I want to go pod or keep the stock air box yet)

- Z32 AFM, Nistune ECU, return flow FMIC all in one hit. Possibly get the standard turbo up to 9-10psi at this stage as well but I'm not sure how well that would go, the car has done 140,000km...

- Get the gear box shift kitted, strengthened, high stall and a cooler put in (it's an auto)

- Miscellaneous systems upgraded/replaced (fuel pump, slightly larger injectors, new coil packs etc)

- New Turbo - thinking a HKS GT-RS. I'm not looking for a monster level of power, more around the 230-250rwkw level. From what I have read the GT-RS will do these power levels safely but still give decent responsiveness without huge amounts of lag.

Thoughts/opinions on the planed upgrade route?

keep the airbox, and get an Apexi panel filter for it. Stock turbo will hold 10-12psi nicely, with a decent boost controller everything else on the list looks pretty good to do them power figures, guessing your turbo is the stock 34 item with the OP6 rear housing if it is then just send it away to get highflowed rather then spending big $$ on a HKS item.

Fixed the brumby today, LH front driveshaft was stuff, while i was under it though i found the rattle, tail shaft uni is buggered :( the list never ends

Sarp mangs. Successful weekend was successful. Tree cut down out at mum n dads place, bike serviced - new air and fuel filter and some new plugs. Still has a miss high up though so I'm thinking the carby needs cleaning/ignition problem? Also did an oil change in the 32. Nearly 15,000kms between oil changes >_< Still going strong though :worship:

Keen for Star Wars. Pay day tomorrow :cheers:

I've done pretty much no work today. Bus driver dude isn't there, so i did the bus run as soon as i got to work at 9. By the time i got back it was smoko time, then after that they sent me to newstead to get keys to take the the locksmith that i'm at now. Then after this i go back to newstead to get more parts, then back to windsor. By then they'll probably have another mission that will take me up to lunch time.

All in all a good morning so far :thumbsup:

Had a proper poke around under the hood/car for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised by what I found :)

Full turbo back exhaust by CES Racing including a split dump pipe and an after market panel filter in the air box (although it is FILTHY, need a new one). That's points one and two taken care of on my list! Got the car booked in with Fulcrum on Wednesday to sort the suspension out then I might give CES a call to see if they can sort the exhaust leaks out and I'm laughing.

Damnit, I can't believe I fell for that

Score!! Suspension will probably make you feel a lot better about the car than power upgrades right off the bat after an exhaust. That's where I'm heading with my baby soon..

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck

      I don't understand what the issue is with, turn the boost down and start saving $$.  As soon as you can afford the supporting mods, turn the boost back up.  If the car is running fine, enjoy it. Turning the boost down isn't going to kill you.
