Nice skids pictures Mat

I would have loved to see

All grip run and smash the track out

But skids are more then welcome

Yeah i know, i want to get it out on track soon mate!

Not much to update at the moment as the poor car is getting neglected due to being busy! It currently is covered in rubber and has a flat left from tyre due to a screw... Will hopefully sort that this weekend.

Carmen and I purchased a Tow Rig to make taking the skyline places easier, so far is has not done towing duties as it needs some maintenance but it certainly looks the part and will look good with the 34 on the back -

For the videos recorded etc we ONLY use a Private Rd or track :ph34r:

Up Tea Gardens somewhere :)

I see the black stealth theme has taken over the 4wd too.. :whistling:

Looks good, whats the mods on the 4wd? lift kit? what motor?

Lol yep, The theme continues :yes:

It is the 4.2 Turbo Diesel 1HD-T which is meant to be one of the tougher of the models.

The mods are quite extensive (Would you expect anything else?) but a bit hard to list as i am too lazy to go look at it :P

35 inch cooper tyres, lift kit, custom diff breathers, straight through 3" exhaust with Pyrometer fitted, Warn winch, custom air compressor setup on board, half the ARB catalogue including bull bar,tow bar, roof cage with high lift jack and shovel etc etc... CB, spotties, electronic brakes, snorkal, upgraded injector pump to handle the increase in boost, heavy duty radiator, proper duel battery setup with power outlet in the rear, super dark window tint...

Future repairs (this weekend i hope) - New wheel bearings both sides, new CV joint drivers side and if i get time ill replace the aerial.

Future mods - Probably not many really, we do want to build drawers in the back and have a Waeco 50L fridge setup for long trips :yes:

i want to try your new turbo in my twin scroll turbine housing!

Would be a crazy combo mate!! Mine is making 20psi at 3700rpm on a basic single scroll setup with 3" exhaust... Crazy to think what a proper TS setup will do...

The feeling of this vs the old turbo is not even remotely similar, the low down power and feel is so so good...

yeah your results are sick

Lithium; its a 3076 with .82 twin scroll

I agree, this would make for an interesting result, perhaps even with the 3582 hta? I found your graph again the other day Owen, I still can't believe the response.

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
