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!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
