Yep, cos I can't work out why you'd say G35 in the equation when we were talking about ye olde r33...

Because you then went on to say different technology, so I then gave you an example with current technology, even the same price.

And the $1400 tune still comes up on top

I was commenting on the $1400 tune as the use of the word tune made me assume it was simply a tune... if he had said eco and tune i would never have mentioned it.

in reference to 370kw, well that's a pointless argument... it's a 1.75 tonne 4 door sedan with a 5 lt v8 and a supercharger from factory that cost leigh 50k

compared to a 10k 2door coupe that is 15 years older.

Talk about apples and oranges!

for 50k i'd be well above 370kw in a skyline if that's what i wanted, but I dont see how it's comparable as i could also be there in an older falcadore, an ae86, a nissan patrol or pretty much anything available.

so what is your point?

end of the day, leigh's car is fkn quick and fkn awesome and I would drive it in a heartbeat.

(it's not worth 50k to me but thats beside the point)

You've confused me further. So I'm not going to say any more.

you can make the power throwing money into a older car sure, but as I said wanted something new stuff throwing 50k into a gtst lol

that's the point aarons making, comparing new cars, new technology etc

screw driving around a 400kw skyline you get pulled over you're f**ked in the ass

guess you could buy this instead :P dat dere 2.0l:

You can have 400kw Skyline and not get reamed when the bonnet is open.

Someone here have 34 NUR, RP motor blah blah blah and think he got pulled over and got done for height, no EPA from memory.

Again, horses for courses.

Also Leigh, you know me liking to take piss on you for your 'taxi' and your going on about me getting a Falcon.

this is my point.

yeh but got lucky right?

and this lol

Course he got lucky, you can get defected in a standard Skyline and that's what's shit about driving Jap. Leigh's car is awesome value for what it is. I think Aaron has a good point too...it used to be that old / falling apart Jap cars were the only cheap way to get big power...now a brand new Aussie sedan can have $1400 spent on it and kick it with the supercars.

I'd buy one if I found the FG attractive...

on another note, 90kg bench press today! woohoo!

Nice, how much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? I just started to gym again for a month now and struggling bad...

Need cash work now

Me too!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
