neo head, 26 bottom end. 26 manifolds, best of both worlds.

That involves more effort... I'm talking just getting a s2 25 AWD from a stagea and dumping it in as is.

Will cost $1k + labour and most importantly look like a 25 hence providing epic fanboi butthurt

Mike likes to over complicate things.

Need to smash the mantra of KISS into his head.

We don't think it's done any other damage, can't find remnants anywhere else. No bearing material floating around and bottom end APPEARS fine from a wiggle and inspection.

Pulled out onto riversdale road and gave it a little bit in first gear, went to change at about 5k rpm, looked down mid change and saw light was on and gauge was at 0 so turned it off and pulled over.
I have a feeling that pulling out and crossing over but still driving parallel with the tram tracks is what did it, all the wheels having different amounts of grip. Started raining 5 minutes after I pulled over too just my luck! It's a standard pump, getting replaced with an N1. I know it's not an amazing replacement but I'm not spending a grand on a Tomei pump, and this brand new versus an almost 20 year old standard pump, should be fine!

It's also getting a sump baffle extension thingy, kinda like the Tomei style with trap doors, only its an extension welded onto the standard baffle.

Oh and did I mention -7s! Hnnngggg

I'm about a second or two slower than you on most tracks, I don't know how to drive yet though...

Will be repairing intake manifold gasket and switching to E85 to squash these detonation problems before the next day.

Got a wedding on the 31st of Jan, so no Philip Island WRX Round 1 for me... :( Was hoping for a late summer PI

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
