In regards to the variable intake, is it stilled hooked up and functioning? I imagine it would make a large difference with boost as well. Except IMHO you could get away with it being actuated and open fulltime by running constant 12v feed to the solenoid :banana:

tuner FAIL big time.

he was sick so it didnt go in yesterday :)

dont know when he will be back + when he is, he will have to reschedule me in which is more time loss.

booked in at another tuner tomorrow.

will be ready by the weekend.

can't wait.

dyno sheets etc up sat if all goes well.

Dan, afaik, the variable intake valve will function as normal on a NA (ill have to speak to my tuner about it first).

Nate, it still hits the front bar :)

will decide that shiet out later, will do my best to make it fit without cutting my sexy gtr bar.

the way my turbo sits, i was still able to use a bit of the stock NA intake > afm pipe which is a bonus.

i will definately get a custom pipe from the throttle body to the intercooler pipe as 1) the stock crossover one is so ugly and 2) the BOV just barely clears the power steering resevoir so i had to move it further down.

shiiiiiiiiit.... hoped u would have been cracking in the 200's now......

soon mate... u will drive out of the tuners with the biggest grin on ur face :cheers:

Dori, check your phone, sent a few shots at different angles of the front bar/piping, hope it helps :P

With using the N/A intake pipe, is that going to work with the air box that you have? or will that need to be custom re-made? i found the JJR one to not fit so well on my N/A. I had to bend the side where it runs near the aircon cylinder (not sure of the technical name for it, it's next to the canister) and also had to unclip the canister and have it sit a bit lower. The part from the turbo to the AFM was fine though, just not sure how that's going to go with the N/A intake.

DOR134 is out and on the road, it made 201rwkw :ermm:

nate, did u get the 33 or 34 airbox cover? if its the 33, then yeah u had to mod abit to fit but for ashneels group buy, he redid the prototype so it fit R34 as well ;)

tuner said its got tgrouble holding boost up high in the revs but so far ive revved to like 5ish and it held 10-11psi fine - running straight off the gate (10psi spring) and no boost controller yet.

just found out that the braided oil line is leaking oil :@ back to pirtek i go to get it fixed up so hopefully i can get that done tomorrow morning.

love the ext gate & screamer, car feels 10x better then it did before :P

BOV is blocked atm so i got hectic doses and fluttering atm, hopefully can get a hose and plumb it all back up tomorrow coz i dont like the flutterssssss

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
