The photos below are exactly how the car was purchased by my sister inlaw mid 2006 (minus the chrome tint) from a guy up in Quinn Rocks, the story goes that when he had it he was running nitrous, he blew it up so had the engine rebuilt by a shop in malaga that isnt operating anymore but apparently the engine builder now works at Chris Mills Performance?

Anyways, he was moving house and promised he would send the receipts to show that the engine was re-built with a forged bottom end and all the other bits n pieces but ofcourse nothing came. Ive now since purchased this car from my sister in law and now im looking at selling it, but before i advertise that it has a forged bottom end ill need to confirm it so before i pull down the engine to see what it has i would like to know if anyone recognises this car and can confirm or deny its history saving me the time n money to pull the engine down.

cheers,

Gonz.

The cars name is David. He used to hang out at the local pub in Joondalup. That was until the police moved him on.

Last I heard he was turning tricks down by the old barn that burnt down in 62.

Seriously though, just call Chris Mills and see if the engine builder remembers it, or has the number of someone who kept all the company receipts.

i think if i can I.D the pistons with a bore-a-scope ill do that but if i was to sell the car i would need solid proof that the engine is forged!!

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
