Nice

Sure, I wonder how my Achilles tyres will go! lol

Haha that's alright, I got achilles too :unsure:

Don't give me that look cos I skimped on tyres! The buck had to stop somwhere you know!

Edited by T.D

So when you going to the drags to see what she'll run? ;)

Good question! Biggest killer will be traction, but I do have my eye on Powercrusie events ;)

What's new for the GS? We should get a photoshoot of the two cars together! :O

;)

Bags all 'round. Ended up going supercharger and happily sitting on 400rwkw @ 10psi with close to 1200N/m of torque :cheers:

For the charger, injectors, fuel pump, fitting + tune worked out to be about $12k. Camshaft, valve springs, pushrods etc. was about $3k.

Sounds good :)

I am sure you are happy with that!

haha yeh those powercruise events look kinda fun.

probably an exhaust for a bit of noise at some point, and then some new rims.. although I'm trying to buy house as well so can't just splurge out too much cash :(

I'm down once I get some decent rims on!

Harrop want $20k for charger etc, 440rwkw

Sheesh, that's a bit rich! I'm guessing for that price, they're including all the bits needed to go from stock to 440rwkw (eg. extractors, cats, catback)?

Having said that, my tuner managed to secure a really good deal from Harrop on the supercharger and fuel pump, cos he promotes and deals with a lot of Harrop equipment.

Sounds good :)

I am sure you are happy with that!

Yep, loving it! But still wanting to get back into a RB though (R33 GTR) :(

Noice! Didn't you already have the Varstoens/TE37s?

Bummer! Looked great with the Varrstoens!

What rims you looking at getting now? Concave or dish?

Yeah think it's the full package... It'd wanna be

Yeah, at that price you'd want it to be hahaha

Not sure, would love some meisters or similar (far too expensive though), bit of dish always cool but been eyeing off some concave..

Something like these I've been looking at.. don't look the best in the pics but on the car look decent I think

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
