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?

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
