C'mon mate, we know they don't make em like they used to. It's missing a Holley double pumper and a high rise manifold.

Beryl would not approve.

lol current thought project of mine is a 4 barrel on my 928 porsche.. just need to think of how id do the intake manifold to sit the carb.

78 model porka, may aswell get 70s tech lol

Do you have any notes or pics of it laying around? I am in need of inspiration.

Mine is the mechanical K-jetronic setup.. I actually got it running nicely with some tweeking but for gods sake the car feels slow compared to anything turbo.

Do slide around your loungeroom on your socks just wearing sunglasses, a shirt and some jocks?

cheers

and sing to cheesy 80s tunes, yes.

actually i just bought my own home and got the keys on monday, so i will definitely be doing the above just because i can.

Its a 300 page old thread with tons of info and the same questions being asked over and over, usually with guys like me replying and not being a total prick telling people to read the thread from start to finish.

I think we are allowed a little banter.

LOL yeah you know, moving house this week. bought my own place.

fun times, sir SR is on the back burner for now.

what about you? anything to add to the kando land chat thread?

turbo is making a funny whistle...haven't diagnosed it any further than it is coming form the area where the turbo is...put 40psi (from a compressor not boost :P) through the system and no hoses popped...but there is a little annoying whistle there on boost...think it might be the comp housing or something ...laziness and a fear of the unknown is stopping me from removing it for inspection....

How many K's have you done with that thing now?

I pulled mine down a few weeks ago and had the core apart, all looked good and the imperfections on the turbine wheel hadn't grown or changed..

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
