Atm, me and 4bidn1 have removed hypergear G3 and sent if of to get new design rear turbine wheel, replaced 044/surge tank setup

with intank 460 walbro, shifted Z32 into cooler pipe in a 3 inch alloy tube, and changing water injection system to a air/water atomiser setup

with no pump.

and looks wise have fitted a vented carbon fibre bonnet, just need ganadors now to finish it off..

cheers

Finally took a pick with the Akebono's on. Nice to fill out those rims :)

Getting there slowly, bit by bit. Need the other front bar & spoiler fixed & modified next I think, then back to under the bonnet stuff

Looks great Cam; what are your underbonnet plans with this one?

Needs the other front bar back on first, this one is the aero-less spare that I modified in my non-pro plasti-welding fashion :unsure:

Planning to chuck on some headers and my decat pipes... but I plan to install hydrogen injection prior to that for a number of reasons, one of which is a reduction in emissions/smell due to a lack of cats.

Still have quite a list of planned changes after those (quite a list actually) so will see how we go...

Your new turbo ;) :

Did 80k service + fitted my de-cat/ed dump pipe. Pretty surprised at how much better it goes, can only imagine how good it would be with a proper aftermarket one.

Now have to install wideband O2 to the front pipe, then it's ready for tuning

Oi I did ask you and you said they were ok!!! :whistling:

Why can't Cihan print out dyno sheets...LOL

Also, everyone thought I had an air leak somewhere...cos there's a pretty loud hissing noise when it hit boost.

Cihan can print dyno sheets, when the printer has paper. :P

It's not hard to check for boost leaks, unless you want it done remotely... Drop down mate.

Finally got my gas struts regassed today; no more getting belted in the back of the head when I throw backpackers in the boot.

Guess I'll have to get a bat or something to knock them out now.

Traded mine in yesterday....

Sad to see it go after 5 years good service, but a 09MY 370GT sedan is helping...

Been a great few days in Melbourne for a 245kW rwd car... :-) missing the AWD already..

Nice!

Can you get the sedan in a manuel, or are they all auto?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
