Your engine sounds very similar to what mine is ( capacity & your intended power level ).

I wasn't entertaining the use of 280's or 290's...but was thinking something along the lines of a 10.5 & 268 , since one of my old JUN's is now damaged.

You have now chucked a curve ball at me in regards to the cams I will go with ..so I eagerly await a proper figure once sorted from your test mule . :D

And I will be keeping the factory air box , but using a large carbon duct to the bottom of it that came off Geoff fear's gtr .

Keen to see photo's of that duct. Thats interesting!

I had a set of JUN 264's at 10.5 but we ran them up and wanted something that more more aggresive on the ramp rates.

Very strong paul, congrats thus far...once sorted, its time to enjoy that car and get it out of the workshop :) rowing gears looool

So this setup will be dedicated for e85 only?

Rowing gears.... w0000!

Nah man. Ethanol Content Sensor. Put whatever the hell I want in and the ECU will adjust it to suit! Vipec can do this too ;)

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

That duct is a 32 thing, I have one on mine, it cups the hole in the front bar and turns up under the air box, haven't seen one for the 33 or 34 yet

All that power and through a paper filter, freakin awesome, got a graph

Ahh, take a pic and MMS it to me tomorrow?

Yep. $10 paper filter. Pods and exxy jap filters can suck a big one! no graph yet. My phone ran out of charge while I was there. Looks pretty fat!

Mad stuff. That black box is freaky!!

Guy plugged it into my 34 along with MAP hose to ECU and started and run after a minute configuring inputs etc on his laptop.

Then Paul made my engine suck a rag.......eh Paul :no:

Bahaha then he stands there while Sean pulls off the defused and cooler piping...

The old rag eater ;)

Also, you need clear indicators ;)

Im undecided on them. Definately need the S3 Lower lip though. S1 looks homo!!!

and shut your bonnet and take a photo on a sunny day :O

she looks nice mate. But black TE37's wheels look nicer IMO.

Haha. "storm trooper" look? I agree. Black on white looks mad!

Once I get it back i'll spend a few days polishing it and take some half decent photo's. Errr, what a shit job that is!

well, paul is quiet the phag, and he was discussing with his tuner on colour coding his aqua full motec header and exhaust and accesorising with hot pink rins and green wheel nuts. He seems to think it will bring all the boys to the yard, for what purpose i do not wish to know...

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
