Why couldn't they have just moved from the VL to the XR6 turbo and be happy with them.

venetians and remove front shafts. then 2 speed powerglide.

Because you are not Lebanese?

Oh I went there.

Ha ha ha. You guys.

Funny

On this topic, just a question, aren't the guys in Queensland still the record holders for the fastest GTR with 4wd, a 26, and H pattern? 7s from memory.

Don't get me wrong I love an angry Rb big cams, laggy single and a H pattern box doing 9's.

This smoothed engine bays and auto conversions not so much.

Me too. Just have no love for the 2wd auto conversion. Just get a normal skyline or falcommodore if you want to do that. Edited by XGTRX

The auto conversions are still 4WD, each to their own, I don't mind dragging to see what improvement the latest mods have made and for some shits and giggles but track is life

Come on Piggy get this thing finished already, there are tracks that need tearing up

Time for an update.

due to time constraints and the ever looming beer bottle, the car got taken to Grim Performance at Hornsby to get the exhaust done amongst a whole heap of other stuff.

- Exhaust completed.

- Individual EGT on manifold.

- Post turbine EGT

- Exhaust gas pressure sensor

- Pressure and temp pre and post compressor.

- Rear subframe has been out. All bushes have been replaced including diff bushes.

- Nismo GT Pro diff has been turned down to soft. Cranky unit!

- New steering race has gone in. Car slipped off a jack and busted a nob off. 

To be done.

- Install and plumb fuel system with -10 Teflon braid lines.

- ECU change. Blackbox is gone, Emtron KV8 going in.

- Airbox.

- Strain gauge for sequential.

- Install V cam.

- Tune.

Ive had the Step 2 264 at 8.7 mm cam (WTF am I gonna do with a fairy penguin 8.7mm of lift) reground to something that's a bit more aggressive. Not sure of the exact grind yet but I will know soon enough. Something around 265-270 with 10.2-10.4 mm of lift.

Rear diff section.

Gate merge. This photo looks funny. The merge looks very sharp but it isn't really. Must be the lighting.

Reason for this? 

Will it chirp second?

I said jokingly "is there anything else you'd like to measure."

that was the answer. It's all got to do with measuring what the turbo is doing.

Getting the notification that this thread had new posts feels like a fun and rare experience now, funny as I've probably been following it for YEARS and Piggaz was a nameless face that I'd never seen in Ozziland.  Now it's a car and a person I know and there is more appreciation for the epic research, thought, development, alcohol consumed, hangovers, work, BBQs and alcohol consumed involved in getting it to this stage that it's particularly exciting seeing it get to this stage.  Very excited to see it getting near being ready to run again!

PS.  You shouldn't ask questions you may regret if they're answered :P

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
