I dont know what PPG is like nowadays but if they are anything like they used to be stick with the OS gear set. Although only a 2 wheel drive we have been using the full gear set for years now and its perfect

How many pumps are in that surge tank? and what pump are you running?

Yeh I think I'll be running os gear set agy synchros and galvs billet sandwich plate when I build the box I have decided but I want to see how long this one last first! Pretty pricey build I just hope I don't kick myself for not going for the more proven tougher set ups first up too soon!

So it's been a long time since I posted on here but the car is finally running! Big day on the dyno tomorrow!attachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1404984430.634811.jpg

Very nice mate, good luck with the tune! Looking forward to seeing how it performs :)

Car wasn't ready to pick up in the end so hopefully run in will be done this weekend!

Considering I drove it Friday and still have a broken leg I think I'll wait the last few weeks till it's better to get the full tune! Would hate for the thing to get away from me!

Finally got some power down today!! Still not finished need to fit some stiffer gate springs yet which will make it even more exciting!! But she made some nice power without braking a sweat which says a lot for this little turbo!

Bit of an update got another tune after sorting the gate springs and gate control now.

Made 626hp @30psi but loads and loads of torque. The response is ridiculous I will have to get a pic of the dyno graph this week but I think that is the absolute max the little gtx35 wants to push out the rear of it so for now that will be all unfortunately until something bigger is strapped on!

Another update though...

A RE401B with manual valve body has found its way into the car over the weekend to help with some up coming drag racing duties.

I'm sure this will get lots of hate! No doubt it will go back to manual one day but you can't beat a built auto for drags!

Having said that hopefully it makes powercruise so I can put it to the test!

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
