Daily is a 1999 Holden Statesman VS series III. White over Silver. Standard everything except for a K&N Pod filter. Quiet, comfy and a bit better economy then the Skyline. Don't have any photos but im sure we all know what they look like :)

It's loud, noisy, rattly and generally a piece of shit, but it goes alright for an NA carby four and slides well despite the lack of any locking in the diff :D Unfortunately I gotta sell it to pay back the state of NSW.

BA Fairmont with hektik 90mm stormwater pipe cold air intake and PWR external bypass trans cooler.

That tows the Silvia to track days etc.

Expect new avatar shot this weekend, Silvia is looking a bit different now :worship:

1984 Mitsubishi Colt sedan. Worked 4G32 (twin 40mm solex sidedrafts, bumped compression to 10:1, cam, porting, extractors, 2.25in exhaust) HH Galant GSR 5 speed LSD, dumped (it's got bout 65mm ground clearance atm lol) over 13x7 widened steelies wearing 155/60's and chrome dress rings using custom coilovers on all four corners based on TP Magna struts, , TP Magna brakes, MINT original body and paint, Sigma GSR rear spoiler, Bunnings garden edging front lip, detachable zoku exhaust tip, Nardi, dildo shifter, Bride reclinables, basic stereo and electrically adjustable jap market MZ11 fender mirrors.

It's a f**king awesome little car, I've surprised several guys on bikes and in performance imports through the twisties in it :)

The look on their face when they find out they've been beaten by a carby 1600 powered Colt is hilarious :D

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
