I started a long reply.... Then thought "why bother".... Benji, your killing me man.... Your probation is ok cus your not trolling BUT you are posting epic novels which are epic fail, and posting in ANY thread with the same stuff....

My advice, start a build thread.... Contain all your mods and plans in there (like others have suggested), keep the posts basic and read and learn, keep enjoying SAU... Oh and stop hitting on 14yo at Supre :laugh:

Yeah dude, I always end up rambling when I am on uni holidays. Will be sure to start a build thread once my first batch of parts come from Japan (^_-)-☆

Also have a set of Kumho Ecsta XS (KU36) tires and a 1.0kg dry powder extinguisher waiting to be fitted. Stripped out the carpet in the rear of the S15 in order to counteract the 1.0kg weight gain of the fire extinguisher which will be mounted near the centre console (^^♪

I didn't manage to get the two pieces of carpet from the rear quarter panels as there was a big clip on each one which I couldn't manage to get off. Also took out the spare tire.

A skyline that lags is better than a chick that nags

Sweet, will keep an eye out for you! Be careful around Newcastle itself if your car is modified, the boys in blue had ruined the car scene up here due to the minority that spoilt it for all of us!

Your a dumb ass :P don't take the carpet out of a street car ya clown!! If you want weight reduction you'd have to go drastic, BUT it's a fkn street car.... Carpet and seats make it quiet!!

lose 1 kg of weight if your that concerned, or get a skyline for the extra torque haha

Skylines are cool but cost wayyy too much to maintain for me to be able to afford. Whilst they have more torque, also less fuel efficient!!

The carpet was taken out of the boot in the rear so pretty stealthy and completely legal modification! Was tempted to take out the rear seat though but once I saw 2 bolts clamping the rear seat that idea quickly went out the window (^^♪

Thinking I'm happy with the weight reduction. Anyway, just realised I'm rambling again. Back on topic =)!

whats to maintain? i do the oil every 5000kms thats it. same as yours.

and i doubt an s15 would be much better then a gtt, gtts are pretty good on fuel.

haha rear seats weigh like 1kg as well, you will not notice this. are you gunna take a shit every time you wanna drive fast? this is the difference your making.

Literally lol'ed IRL at the taking a poo before driving part.

The S15 got around 7.5L/100kms when my dad drove it home from Sydney rather tentatively. The SR20DET combined with the S chassis is the ultimate combination for performance on a budget (^_-)-☆ .

The Toyota Supra would be the ultimate 6 cylinder performance car/budget supercar due to the rear wheel drive powertrain and 3.0 litre race inspired 2JZ which is basically a torque monster.....R32/33/34 GTR are also on par in performance I'd say, albeit way more expensive to maintain due to the higher revving engine (RB26) and all wheel drive powertrain.

really?? thats pretty good actually, thats like what my 1.8L tiida gets and way better then my camry :S

you sure about those figures??

Just checked carsguides to make sure I hadn't calculated it wrong...turns out what I said was about right

http://www.carsguide.com.au/search/specs-search/?&Ns=pRSS_SortDate%7C1&N=4294967154+4294962594++490+4294965960

Anyway, I think if you were to get stuck into it and come on boost frequently then fuel consumption would go wayyyy up.

Commodore drivers :no:

So has Benji gone into hiding yet?

Been a productive day today as I couldn't get the old tiles off the wall in the kitchen without destroying the wall in the process

Decided to cut the gyprock and tiles out completely and put some new sheets up.

Just finished setting it and can sand and undercoat tomorrow

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?

      Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
