Ahaha, not to worry about that, my future list of planned mods (*cough wish list cough*) is WELL under construction :thumbsup:. Moar powah indeed.

I think stock is usually closer to 160awkw from what I've seen though. But still good gains for $in for sure.

Have been lurking many threads :P

Can't wait.

Still a long wait to go though, haha. *continues the dream*

Edit: Also how's the steak shop coming along? Feeling like a steak soon... when do you guys open? :P

Edited by kaitoukid

I was out there earlier actually. Looks like a restaurant now, plaster is almost finished around the place so rest of the fitout should be done in 2-3 weeks.

Hope to open end of Jan and then be in full swing by mid/late Feb (won't open to capacity right away). Liquor License won't be ready till Feb anyway so it'll all fall into place nicely

brought a pioneer vsx-527-k, great a/v reciever, very cheap, 397, but took it back cos the media streaming / internet radio interface was sub ordianry

if you have an old a/v reciever and are keen to upgrade this unit is a bargain at 397. its a shame i wasnt so keen on the streaming/internet radio (even with DLNA)

the interface was clunky, cumbersome and just slow for my usage. back to vsx-522 and media monkey

its all in the gearing and final ratio that makes up for the lag

how else do you make so much power and midrange from a 4cyl 2 litre with a big single

this

with the bigger turbo, my skyline made full boost at 3200 and the evo makes the same at 4000 (dyno - 4th gear) but they both feel close to the same and the evo is a tad more responsive, despite making boost nearly 1000 revs later

Power commander and BMC filter installed.

One step closer.

What's left?

Glad I got mine running today, f'ing thing, wasn't what I wanted to spend the day on.

Damn it sounds good with the aftermarket exhaust though

Yeah for every Skyline gear change, EVO is doing about 1.5 gear changes. Such a nice gearbox though, punching 1st to 3rd so seamless

Waiting on the o2 sensor eliminator, and the replacement indicator wiring adapters to arrive.

Once I've got those I can put it all back together and it should be good to go. Gotta get down to Vicroads and get a new plate for it too, cars etc can all be done online but for some reason they make you go into a branch for bikes ffs.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
