Yeah that was me at darlington.

rob82: my house mate actually knows the guy that owns microtecch, and has had lenghty discussions about whats going to be the best root, they have new models arriving, and other options, to make a computer work with my engine.

Depends what it is as to how much power you can extra and all the other variables. I have 234rwkw at 12pounds in my r32 with a standard GTR motor in it. My boss tuned a 400 awkw gtr on the standard computer. It had 740cc injector, Z32 AFM ect ect. Hoping to do the same with mine.

Wouldn't mind having a go at tuning the Q45 ECU. There probly wouldn't be that much to change as the injectors and AFM are standard. It would probly just be a tidy up of the maps.

I have my own reasons for going microtech and i dont wish to debate it. It was not an uneducated decision, i have played with a lot of big HP cars..

;)

I am just amazed about your engine with that snail :) .

how is the handling of that car with V8? plus what's da net weight ratios?

have you done anything with suspension?

your car is awesom :)

hahaha, umm we estimated it to be only around 70kgs heavier, it has modified swaybar mounts, steering rack, roll centers and JIC Magic coilovers, that out of the 20 or so skylines ive been in with modified suspension mine is still the stiffest even with the extra weight.

Thats for track and street, i have a seperate set of shocks and springs for drag racing.

Im so sorry about what happened to yours Dan, ignorant little pricks... Did you ever find out who did it? Our legal system is f**ked, people who speed get harsher punishment then these little delinquents sp* that steel, harm others, destroy property...

Bring out the vigalanty groups i say, not just for law breakers but for the corrupt cops too!!

Yeah it's all progressing John, everyone is getting dealt with, luckily the police were onto it pretty quickly and made a clean sweep :D

At least I'm back in another Skyline, so it's not all that bad.

Can't wait to see your car giving hell down the quarter!

Picked up the cooler from the fabricators today, suck to have a workshop with 30 odd welders and none can do alloy... but neways piping comes this arvo...

Doing pulleys on sunday cage next week. Aiming to be done by next weekend.

Good to see its all coming along. It'll be a weapon once its all done.

Where did you get the tranny done up? How is it with the auto on the track and everything?

Have you talked to the guy over in WA with the supercharged Q45? Here's another pic his engine bay:

i think i spoke to the people that built that one a while ago... werent very helpful at all....

More progress on mine, all the pulleys and adapters have been made intercooler mounted and piping done, Just have to make an idler and tensioner, finish off fuel system, wait for my computer to arrive and wire it up.... its booked in on the dyno on friday afternoon.... see how it goes....

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
