I called into ATP today for a highflow after removing my turbo, what a job. There are a few bolts that were obviously never meant to be accessed without the engine out, took me around 3 hours.

Kip the owner of ATP is a top bloke, easy to talk to. He helped me choose the right combination of wheels for the power I wanted and showed me how they go together with another one he was doing at the time.(thanks Jason) I would love to go back in when the assembly is done on mine just to say "I rebuilt it" :)

Suspension is next, I have a shiny new set of BC racing coilovers to go in, from just jap. I tried to upload a pic but no go.

So where are the details and pics of your turbo?

Secret mens buisness apparently, no cameras allowed. :( I did ask for you.

I was going to get some pics of the car too, but theres not much of it left.

Heres a pic of the coilovers tho.

10/8? thats gonna be VERY firm you know?

Yes, but no.

Most M35 suspension is over 8 for both.

I know the Nismo's have over 9 at the rear.

The only suspension I can think of (off the top of my head) that is under 8 for front and rear are the Kenstyle which are lowered and around the 5 mark - which is waay too soft imho.

i guess its a heavier car, and you might be able to adjust the dampers to 'soften' the ride a little.......

i still think its gonna be a teeth rattler and a boob hurter. my yellow s15 had effing hard suspension and no girl would get in it as it really hurt their boobs. you dont wanna risk that in your shagin wagon :(

I went back to kewish today just to stop you buggers whinging. The box is empty. :P and so is under the car. I will get some secret pics from Kip's workshop if possible. He rang me today and talked me into a larger again turbine wheel, bugger, I hope theres not too much lag. should be good for 250 or more, if I want to go that high. The box will handle it at least.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
