Chris Rodgers must have been walking for it to take 22hrs to Canberra. That drive is 12.5-14 hours max. Quickest I have done bne to Canberra is 10.5hrs at night. Left at 7pm got there at 5.30 to Dickson shell servo. BTW did you used to live there cause I used to know a Chris Rodgers that lived in Florey??? He was building an escort...

I just did the drive melb to bris. Took 21 hours non stop (apart from fuel, toilet breaks) driving the pacific hwy. pacific Hwy is a much better route due to sceanery to keep mind active, the fact you have people traveling the route all hours if you have an emergency someone will see you within a few mins and more than half is dual carriage way so makes it safer.

I did the run from CBA - blarney -> dubbo -> tamworth -> bne. that was a rep run for the business. if I had done a straight shot then 13 -14 hrs would be about right. I was talking to people along the way.

met myself a few times now. do not know that person.

lol $500 ? my fuel cost no more than $300. my gtr was totally stock and never modded tho. $300 included shitloads of coffee too !!! lay off the gas and u will be laughin. u can only go so fast through coonabarabran, cowra and the likes anyway as there are so many roos wombats and rabbits.

Mate thats why we were having a discussion about high powered cars. I already said my car had a really rich tune so i think you maybe made yourself look like a bit of a tool here. i said to the OP it all depends about his fuel consumption and gave him the tools to work it out. There wont be many cars out there getting economy like mine. There was no need for it to be so rich.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
