I've found as long as there is money in the bank the mizsus didn't complain about me playing with my car..

The.minute I'm broke its all the cars fault.. :banana: So as long as I don't spen ALL the money on the car, I get away with it .:D

LMAO same boat Dave, always the cars fault and wants a holiday ASAP.

Ahhhhh sigh.

A dude is potentially giving me a deposit tonight for sale of my DE+T motor with install into his car this weekend. That will be such an epic relief and I can get back into finishing this farken motor.

You share bank accounts with your Missus? :whistling: your not meant to give them control ;)

For the last 3 years mine has taken up the entire garage, 2 bedrooms and motorbike was forced into the lounge room. She was happy to see it go back together do she could have the house back.

So who will have their car done first? Ron1 or Ron2?

Havent decided on a turbo yet, no. The deal coming up this weekend puts me in a much better position than I expected, so ill be able to make a comfortable choice, with the all star type products back on the map. Such as GTX series items.

I mostly want to give Stao the business though, so I'm hoping my mind tips in his favour once the money is ready to be put where my mouth is lol.

as for who will finish first, I'm confident that will be Ron1 as his is a daily and I'm just a unlicensed hobbyist. I am committed to getting back out to Wakefield though, so I'm not wasting any time either - just the lack of necessity will govern my priorities as always.

anyone wanna make a turbo suggestion? I'll be in a position to impulse buy next week if necessary lol

If I do it will be coming through Stao. I want to support the guys business and his prices are competitive considering the level of service you get.

In a couple of weeks ill balance my numbers and see if I can still afford to keep my 6boost. Highest likelihood is that ill be running the stock manifold with a bolt on type turbo though, it just free's up so much more money for things that are more necessary.

Plus I also think a ballistic 230kw response monster will turn out better than a 260kw average lag monster lol theres just a higher likelihood of a better result with the lower power bracket. Going for more has a higher risk that it might just be too laggy.

Man, this guy's much worse than Ron..lmao! :woot: My current 206rwkw re-tuned by Jez last week just feels sooo good in the low-mid end (2500-4000rpms) I dunno how much lag I will get with the Precision haha.. 110rwkw @3000rpms is all smiles man - its so much more responsive to the slightest throttle inputs now

Edited by rondofj

Ooo you retuned? Why man? Your PT is so close by.... Why retune to suit your stock turbo when you are gonna put a new turbo on soon anyway?

Maybe Ron2 will beat Ron1 to fruition!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
