Nah, I gave it a rolling start at about 10kph, revved it to about 6500-7000rpm and then just dumped it. Very cool. A big chirp and then, like magic, I was reaching for second. I happens oh so fast!

btw, J is on dialup... so you will have to wait for a while b4 he post again...  

either that or he is outside playing with his new alarm and immobilizer :D

That and I am trying to flick back to my report writing every now and again.

Btw Glenn, I think you lost that battle

yea kinda catches u off guard huh?? the chirp and then u're redlining 1st n grabbing for second...kinda makes u look like a mad man driving from outside...

The guy is still installing, there is two 3 point systems to put in. Its pretty tricky, as well as movement, shock, tilt sensors and auto window wind up thing and every door, the bonnet and the boot are monitored for opening. Pretty cool.

looking at about 200k, year 2002 n of course 34

yeah... but if you do your honours, that will have to wait then.

i am waiting for may to come so that we can all bring our cars to the track. it would be interesting to see yours and J's together. you can request for that ya noe.

yrs got more power and J's got more handling.... should be very exciting to see.

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
