All went well yesterday, no power figures as yet, as Allstar just did a run-in tune (7psi & 4k rev limit).

Need to do 1000k run in now. Only problem is, the car isn't registered! Has anyone got any advice as to how to go about running in an engine on an unregistered car? (without doing it on a dyno). Was thinking to just get a 48 hour movement permit, but not sure how strict they are with those...

Anyone done this before?

Also, on the topic of Kando/Kamak products. A while ago I was in search of a decent 50mm blow off valve, but couldn't really afford the price tag on a Tial or Turbosmart BOV. I searched for ages, and ended up coming to the conclusion that I could either a) just suck it up and buy an expensive item, and know that it will be quality, or b) skimp out and risk buying one of the cr@ppy brands on ebay, and hope that it does the job properly.

But then I happened to stumble across this one on ebay (which didn't turn up in any of my previous searches for some reason). I discovered that kando sells a 50mm Kamak BOV, and it is quite in-expensive;

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KAMAK-Turbo-Blow-Off-Valve-BOV-50mm-w-3-typs-Spring-/280913545263?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4167c0882f

I currently have this fitted, and as of yesterday, I can say I'm quite impressed with the quality of it so far. Won't be able to fully vouch for it's quality until the car is tuned for higher power, but perhaps this is another kando product that can perform and at only a fraction of the price.

The only problem so far, is that I got a tiny bit of 'flutter' sometimes, when coming off light boost, but i'm thinking I may just need to put a weaker spring in there. Will update once I've seen how it performs under full boost conditions.

Also, when I purchased this a few months ago, it was priced at $150 inc. delivery, but it looks as though they have bumped the price to $150 + $25 delivery since.

funny this has come up now, ill be assembling in the next few weeks. not liking this run in business, i want to drop it off for the tune and bring it home as is. dont wanna pay and pay and pay again.

ill probably bed the rings, drop the oil and just thrash it happily ever after.

Do people even do 1,000km run ins these days? Most people just run them up on the dyno, Dump oil and coolant and filters and top up with new fluids and go for gold.

When I had my RB26 built its all we did.

I'm still impatiently waiting for mine to arrive .

lol my car runs dude, ill go start it now just for good measure :P wouldnt want the world to end.

im building a spare motor for it and going for a nice 270kw setup. only started about a month ago and im almost ready to start assembling the fundamentals.

can the world hold out a little longer u rekon? lol

Getting my T67-25G with Cams,44mm gate , nz manifold, Tunned this Thursday at Allstars on 98 octane as well. will post results. :yes:

just need to sort out few small issues before dyno.

- Modify (weld) my intake pipe for GFB blow of valve - i have started the car without blow off and went for lap around the block..

i also heard if you dont run blow of vale that it can damage you turbo is that right ? backpresure ? , Mafia on the forums didnt run any blow off valve..

- replace my complaence cat with a 100 cell cat ...

and it should be all ready to GO , i just hope i dont get any issues on the dyno...

:yes:

I been thinking of going T67 on NZ manifold and 44mm gate on my 34 too but realized I have to re-route my cross over intake pipe, BOV and all the associated hoses and sensors, what a headfk job..The typical U layout cooler pipes will foul any highmount turbos.. Man would have loved a T67 but too much pain, unless theres better ways..will stick with the TD06 for now

Better to run a BOV but not essential...

Just run a cat pipe and put standard cat back in if you need to go over the pits.

Man up and DO IT Ron :P

48 hour permit... Just have to call the DPI and give them locations you are driving around to. Just find mechanics/car workshops around the metro area, get them listed on the permit and drive between them :)

Yeah, that's what we were thinking.

I wonder how strict they are with the permits though. Like, for example, If I were to list an address/workshop in Dunsborough on the permit. I may just call the DPI and ask if they would allow for a long distance drive, for the purpose of running in a rebuilt engine.

I've heard mixed advice/opinions on this, but in the end I've just decided to play it safe, and do the run-in. Probably won't do the full 1000km though.

Just do places in Perth metro area for "repairs"... Not to run in the engine

Do a T67 with a 3" front cover and low mount it.

If you check Roy's for sale thread he has a TD06H-25G that uses a 3" front cover that is normally native to the 20G we get from Kando. Thats a GENUINE TRUST item...........

If trust used the 3" cover on a 25G wheel, it cant honestly be that much worse. Maybe need a psi or 2 extra to reach the same targets. Best of both worlds mate.

I guess roughly the same response if not a TINY bit better and an easy 300kw low mounted (stock mani) on 98.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
