Stopped at the News agent at Queenscliff on the weekend .........when I returned to the Car their must have been 20 people (half the street) surrounding

haha, I had a well dressed elderly lady at a private hospital car park in Brisbane stop me and remark 'I like your car young man'

not sure if she was being cheeky.....

Scary stuff.......mean I have had 2-3 guys or a couple looking when I take the Exige for a spin.......but to have a crowd of 20 people looking/waiting....WOW.!

  • 2 weeks later...
I don't believe the 7 days for a second...I remember when you got the car, you piled on about 1000km in the first 3 days. :)

Sprung..... ;) ....would you believe mobile office..(very fast mobile office)

I'd sell my soul to the Devil for your car :bunny:

OT: I saw one parked in the city the other day and people were stopping by taking pictures infront of it etc.

I almost broke my neck driving when I saw my 1st one in the flesh lol, GF thought I was perving lol

You where but not at the 2 legged kind........ :)

... becuase the R35 is a genuine exotic looking supercar. I always admired the R32-34, fantastic cars, I'd love to have one if I had between $30-50K to spend, but you'd never call them true exotics...but the R35 REALLY looks everybit a $160K exotic supercar :) ....unlike the black HSV W427 I saw sitting in Nissan Australia headquarters on Tuesday! (my guess is HSV probably borrowed a GT-R to play with and they let Nissan have their $160K 'Clubsport')

I remember a reader for Top Gear Australia reader complaining that the annual supercar calender featured a HSV 427 and not a GT-R. TGA replied that the GT-R simply looks like a piece of crap and HSV looks the bizz! After seeing the HSv 427 which looks like an SS without a rear wing and possibly the worst looking tailights ever, it's apparent that TGA has taste well and truly imbedded up their arses. :) The reaction from the public obviously vinidcates the GT-R as genuinely horn looking piece of car porn.

Have never been a big Fan of the HSV Cars.....but they do have a big following and at 160k for their Clubsport....... :wacko: .....I'll take any GTR and

run rings around it.........

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
