I'd like to see a full showdown between Skyline and *insert V8 of choice here*. Here are the challenges:

Drag Race (3 passes)

Circuit Race (5-8 laps)

Dyno run (3 passes each)

Shopping run (take your wife/girl shopping and load up the boot)

Designated Driver run (take your mates out for a night on the

town)

Boat Tow (erm, do i really need to explain this one?)

Push Home (after both cars f^&k themselves, the first one to be pushed home wins).

Any takers? LOL!

just had a run tonight actually with an SS VT with a V8 and it didn't sound one bit stock.... guessing he's got at least exhaust and maybe pod.

I'm running with an exhaust, pod and 10psi....

I managed to get the jump but he did keep up until I hit 3rd then he slowly disappeared into the night..... in my rear vision mirror :)

at Kwinana last night a vu r8 ran 13.4 and most of the WA skyline boys ran high 13's to low/mid 14's........... so beware not all comodores are slow, this one was handing the Jap cars their asses....

51jay - ummmmm Paul has has a "little" work done recently..... he just hasnt offically ran it down the quarter. And yes he made 411rwhp @ SST dyno.

Paul - yeah i was there - i was watching in the stands, came down and watched through the staging lanes - saw adam, and a few others - i didnt see you though. Was planning to race but my farken new turbo has shat its self after 7ooKM. Found out why to last after stripping cooler and shite off car, IMACUL8 will be off the road for a while till I buy another farken turbo... bloody hell.

Sorry, my bad :uhh: I thought this thread was this thread. He hasn't done a 1/4 mile run at the current rated power yet so his sig is somewhat misleading. Sorry about that!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
