Then go and do a top speed run in your car

There are never any oversize loads with police escort at those times either

The top speed is probably freeway speed man...... Stock az

yea fair enough, i still dont think i will be able to make it though unfortunately... i wont be back in newy untill around 4pm..

Bugger! Well if I can help I will, but I can't see me being of any use UNLESS I got mine running and swapped it with them but that's be a long shot

MWHAHAHAH start a war between the two that totaly destroys them both.

Love the idea. They did actually have a mini on air slanging match when they both turned up at the same house to do a story once

Maybe we should get someone to start a new news show and tell the real facts? Not sure how I'd look in a dress but I'll give it a crack :laugh:

Not really a news show but Media Watch try and The Chaser guys used to love ripping into TT

Pretty interesting! Looks like mine hey?..

Seems like I have a modified standard ecu with a daughter board fitted to be tunable?...

Mmm guessing no one would know how to tune it ha

Good find! I looked and had no luck but that is the board.... TBH if they don't have the software you should go Haltech.... If JEM say they can tune it then it's your choice... Would still be going haltech, but I am biased mate ;)

Yea im pretty keen on the haltech tbh, would like the car to run as good as possible, Just need to sort out timing with work etc. will forward the link to the guys and JEM tomorrow and see what they think and go from there.

I actually stumbled on that page whilst I was searching for haltechs wtf haha

I seriously looked even with the board number and still found nothing... You did well!

I would love to corrupt you to Haltech but just keen to see your before and after results for stage 1 :)

Yea as long as I can get off work, I think I will just go with the haltech hey...

Very keen to see the results, won't be anything fancy though... I think it will get me heaps keen to hurry up and do stage 2 haha

Wait until you talk to Adam and Dean.... They are mildly persuasive lol.... Oh and make sure you look out for Bobby, I reckon that R34 will be Aussies best :D you'll be in heaven

So guys, i am thinking the Ferry idea is out.................

We can still do old pac and Galston Gorge but we would need to turn around at some point and come back.

We could always aim to have Brekkie at Galston itself and then head on the return trip, there is 2 cafe's from what i can see, i am thinking that Rosies would be the go as there is a Franklins carpark accross the road and we probably wont fit in the carpark at Rosies so we could use the one at the shops, also looks like parking if you turn left at the roundabout but thats only a minor detail. Although the Ferry Rd was fun i am worried about the low cars and the GTR's

Ant, have you considered the HKS V-Cam System..

http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/products/engine/rb26_vcam/index.html

Costs about $7,000 though (not including shipping from Japan)

And not including fitting And not including tuning.

Have you considered the request by most on SAU to STFU? Please? :blink:

fair call on the ferry.. im still happy to make a split meeting point for the people who want to go the ferry route?...

all that sounds good though mate.

no vcam for my car, can find areas to better spend money.

update on my ecu.. its basically been chipped by a company in japan that there is about 1 licence in aus to tune it haha.. so i will be going for the haltech :) and i got the ok to have work off too so very happy! my bank account wont be though.

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
