the annoying thing about jewellery is that they can charge whatever the f**k they want for something and make up whatever bullshit, and 95% of everyone dont know any different.

Yep. Bought a ring for 4 grand (got $200 discount) 2 weeks later the same ring was on sale for 2 grand.

thus why you get an independent valuation of the stone..

got the GIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemological_Institute_of_America) prior to purchasing the stone.

valuation came in about 5-6K more than payed for it.

the jeweler discounted massively if you get him to make one, as he knows it not going to sit in the window for 12 months wasting him money and maybe need a redesign or be in a sale.

first time ever custom cheaper than off the shelf

pretty happy all in all.

Rebuilt engine.

+5kw, 500rpm earlier response... 10 degrees less timing... and 10 PSI less boost.

I should immediately put car up for sale

But I won't, because it would feel wrong for anyone else to break it

Ummm did you run it in? Same turbo?

...10psi goddamn

Good work, post up dyno graph?

Is the engine still being 'choked' by the turbro?

I can't actually post up the dyno graph because it kills Trent's dyno when trying to do a proper pull.

I'll have to try it on a roller dyno ;)

But I would like to confirm, cause if someone on the forums said they made 408kw (in a manual) at 21 psi (the dyno's gauge) on a GTX3076, with 225rwkw at 3000rpm you would quite rightly think u f**kin w0t m8? And laugh them off the forums.

(yes I ran the engine in beforehand.. my life is empty and I can afford to do 1300run in kms during the week)

Haha yeah hard about that!

Nah dont doubt your power figures, just curious what its like up top if its still like your previous graph, kinda showing that you have a turbo restriction.

But then again bigger turbo and youll have a million killer wasps which you probably dont want!

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
