The problem with your theory is when the turbo blows, what will you do then? Highflow with what size wheels? This Garrett im fabricating wont cost much more but the mods to support it will.

I only built the box because it was slipping when I bought the car and I dont have the VQ35 in yet, I think you mean PM Mad?

Me? If my turbo blows then a standard rebuild will suffice. I'm not doing injectors and supporting mods etc it's just not worth the effort in this car as far as I'm concerned. That's my choice and I would honestly be happy if I had 180kw atw. If I want a mental car it will be a track only car because the temptation to get up a registered car is too great and it would be bye bye licence.

Anyway, who else is going to go for the G Zone? Ryan? You in?

lol Thats what they all say.

if your thinking about mofifying one or two things.. just a heads up at the domino effect.

Too true.

Spoke with Scott the other night...was telling him how when I 1st got the car I was like "200awkw will be plenty!!"

Have most of my mods done now, but itching to crack 300awkw...

Might even look at upgrading the turbo when the tax return $$$ arrives :ninja:

your wife is going to have your head on a platter.

really haha

just a small suggestion....as there are so many people interested why do you either:

* get a groups together and all put in cash and do one and the test it.....that way the outlay is less per person

* All ship you units together through Jesse to and from one point.

anyway only a suggestion!

Great idea, can I be the tester? Please? :)

I will cover all the tuning costs of course. lol.

why not all chip in and get the guys from g-zone to fly down with the equipment? ph34r.gif

Down from Japan? :blink:

If they were Brisbane it might be an option, but an international return flight, hotel accomodation, meals and then an agreable dyno owner for however many days?

I don't see that being more affordable than sending them over.

And that's completely aside form the likelyhood of a Japanese tuner leaving his own business to fly halfway around the world.

Ummm... what about our Japanese friend with the rich exhaust vid on M35 info?

Reckon you could convince him to get something done?

Dale, don't feed the trolls... let them be with their tractors :whistling:

Sorry, only been paying half attention - is this place even in Japan?

i know its more local but DrDrift used to fly round aus doing tunes in major citys for the whaling fleet (read r33's) because their boards can't be nistuned but can be chipped by DrDrift

Just let the jap guy stay at your place

also, my corolla sounds much more like a tractor than the stagea pinch.gif

I understand what you're saying, I just think the logistics are a bit much.

I doubt he'd be happy sharing a room with a 3 year old... Even with a belly full of Saké:whistling: Although that would certainly quiet down my son.

I guess we'll have to see what develops.

First, Mr Amino doesn't speak good enough english, I have an intermediary. Love the Japanese, a friend of a friend and she's happy to help in any way she can!

I'm happy to be the guinea rat, but will wait a couple of weeks till I have my exhaust in. Sounds like I'll have all the mods he wants to know about by then. I am keen to here more about Dust's HKS F-Con setup too...

Who is actually interested in moving forward, given a cost of 44000-64000 yen? Think its Tonto, Scott and I?

What size is everyones exhausts? Is everyone running the same sze?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
