cams arent required, the engine makes heaps of torque in the midrange and cams just take away a bit of down low to give it a little more torque up top.

that was my thinking.... but how much loss for how much gain is the question.....

with the 8mr turbo it'll still be responsive enough to cope with the loss i'm guessing. and they definitely sound cool as mentioned, but it's probably not worth the $$$ for what like 10kw?

Response aye.. I hold the secret answer! :P

Nah but srs cams are cool

you do realise you aren't the first person ever to run a PD blower dont you? :P

you dont have to use tags, you just fail at pasting the links in the correct way.

that honda sounds more like its running rotational idle rather than cams.

thats with standard cams.

cycle idle / rotational idle is the ducks nuts... vipec/link does it so i'm surprised we dont see it in skylines more often....

With cams (depending on the lobe design/size) I think people need to see it as less down low and more up top + less traffic diveability.

Is that cycle idle thing the same as antilag?

no, however it is often used in conjunction.

car idles a little higher and drops a different cylinder on each rotation, hence cooling them

it's only used during idle and stops when the revs increase

a lot of them feel like that HAVE to find something, so you chuck in a broken parker light or so on, and they get to fail you, and then you can just change it out and they will pass it

Gmail saved my ass yet again.

Yes, yes I was. :technology-these-days:

I guess that's one benefit of google harvesting information from your email address. In the end they make money from your data.

I think they got in trouble couple months ago for having google ads linked to keywords in emails lol

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
