Ive been such a lazy bastard with this.

Soooooo,

At the end of last year, I got rid of the old powerfc and got myself a Link G4. Man this is a nice ecu. None of that silly hickup every 10 minutes. Oh and the fact that I went ethanol :P.

After jez worked all his magic the car is pushing just shy of 340 kw on 20psi. Not bad for the baby -9's I reckon. Car is now a great street/twisty setup.

Seeing as I was starting to push the standard motor I finally pulled my finger out and bought a variety of gauges.

Oil temp/pressure

water temp

AFR

I now feel more relaxed driving around haha. I also got a asi radiator from fleebay. Bolted up perfectly :). And its all shiny. I love shiny.

Hicas lock bar, wicked, we know what it does.

Finally to top off these past couple of months I finally got some Federal 595 RSR's. whow these tyres are good wet dry they aint care. Only down side I would say right now is that they are noisy. As far as wear goes, we will have to wait and see.

All in all, car is going awesome (touch wood) except for my silly castor rods making knock knock noises, time for new ones :). Pulls hard and got a 11.4 @125mph on those crappy achilles tyres I had. Wonder if I can drop it down a peg or two with the new rubber.

Now for pics

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
