what mods are you running to make 210Kw?

Full 3" exhaust

Pod Intake (hks mushroom)

Power FC tuned by RPM Morayfield

Yellow Jacket Coil Packs

Return flow IC (just been swapped out as it was giving me severe pressure drop above 5k 4.5psi) Now a HDI GT Spec Cooler

If I have done anything else I have forgotten what it is.

It was running 204.4 KW after the tune with a leaking turbo gasket after fixing that it was rocking 210kw (turbo only had 2 nuts on it when I brought it so I discovered)

I am hoping that with the new cooler not dropping pressure she will produce 220 - 230kw as the sheet was looking like it would do that if it didn't have that pressure drop.

next mods will be injectors, pump and turbo I guess maybe even a z32 afm depending on if I get power hungry again.

Yeah Clint should be alot better once she's has the mid and top end of the tune finished. Ya bastard ya got in front of me LOL.

Yeah I was gonna come down Friday arvo but I was rooted after fitting the cooler so I rang Pete, I'll let Pete work his magic and see what she makes and If she will need a new clutch to go with the power.

How was Harry's the other night?

Wasn't to bad. quite a few cars. They filled the other side of the road car parks. Cleared out pretty quickly though.

so what is everyone up to today?

was going to be a car clean and sort out day. but its too windy outside to clean it. and i got a sic girly to look after :mellow:. so mines a quiet day....might reassemble the back of my car this arvo.

got my coilover adjuster extender thingy's sorted and the inside of my car back together and clean....about bloody time.

I ended up using a 1/4inch universal joint and medium lenght 1/4 socket extention on either side with a little black cap on the top. the original idea was to make them out of anything other than Metal as metal can be heavy and rattle, hence why i had some timber and rubber ones made up (which didnt work), so metal it is. hopefully they dont rattle to much.

Hmm, im thinking morayfield this week. And if anyone is keen id like to get something happening during the day, even sat/sun arvo. Game of footy or cricket, something different.

As for this week, yea im not sure.. We could go to our usual spot but turn ups have been bad the last few weeks, people loosing interest or w.e

However, id like to get pictures of each car as i am extending my knowledge base on web design. (i would be making a website to do with our pride and joys)

You will b abke to upload, comment etc at other peoples profile!

yeah guys im in for a local feed this wednesday. happy laps is this weekend....but i wont be going to that either. car needs new brake pads and im far too lazy/busy to get it done by then.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
