Looking good. One thing I always thought about doing is trying to paint those cards that sit in the bottom of the doors.

But I'm to lazy for that.

Hmmm, you had to put the idea into my head didn't you? ;)

Looks like the cardboard cards are fairly easy to take out just a few screws.

I was careful not to pull the factory glued vinyl off them to separate them from the door.

Went and got some 3D Black Carbon Vinyl Wrap today. Just got some cheaper stuff from Supercheap as those pocket cards are a bit hidden.

Cut to size and layed over. Getting the bubbles/lines out is fairly easy.

Back in and all screwed up. Gives them a nice subtle look. I used some Kiwi Grip spray contact adhesive as the door cards are chipboard with only a thin layer of paint between that and the wrap adhesive. Goes on stronger that way.

10kw more than me. Damn you!

Don't think it'd make a difference in the real world, man :)

You running -9's? Got a link to your graph somewhere? Wouldn't mind taking a look, esp at what the boost curve is like.

Nah -7's. Standard actuators and afm's hurt my power.

Chris told me it made around 340rwkw but I told him to back it off as it's a track car and I wanted it to be safe.

That's good power for -7's, man. The final tune I got is a track safe tune also. Looking forward to finally getting it on the road and then to some events this year!

I'm not complaining. I've got to learn how to drive before I get more power.

I Should hopefully have my car on the road for the 1st time tonight and 1st track day of the year on Saturday. Man I'm excited!

Hey mate,

I've so far had the car back at 3 power levels. 298,312 & 335awkw

Compared to how I first got the car back in 2005 (standard ceramics boosted to the max - 260rwkw), the -9's are definitely a bigger turbo and respond accordingly. The -9 setup in my car pulls all the way pretty much to redline unlike the standards which hit a wall near the top end. (and you could feel it)

Depends what you're after- purely street i'd go -7's for a 2.6L. I want to eventually get some events under my belt so wanted that little bit extra so went -9's as I had all the supporting mods.

That said look at gtr jet, he got 325kw with his -7's. Awesome.

How was the first drive Shivam? Still tossing up to go -7s or -9s, still leaning towards the -9s.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnnnnnnnnnn Shivan that looks bloody amazing.

Such a simple mod with such striking results - I think Ima gonna give that a crack as well mate ;)

Got an e-mail from Racepace. Final tune is done. Very happy with the result.

Brilliant results mate really happy for you. They are sensational numbers :thumbsup:

Go for it, guys. Easy and takes less than an hour.

Brilliant results mate really happy for you. They are sensational numbers :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, the -9's are pretty much maxed out now. It made far more but it's been dialed back for a track safe tune. Very happy with it, feels great and can't wait to start on a few events this year.

Going to spend the next couple of months neatening a few things and getting it ready for Road or Club reg.

Wow awesome turn out with the tune/power output. Good &

solid number. All that hard work has finally paid off.

Can't believe how good them door cards turned out,

Definitely adding that to my to do list. Good work man.

Not maxxed them just yet ?

They are great on the track you will love them even more

Also got some Superior Auto Creative Carbon-Look Sun Visor Cover set to cover up the tatty OEM ones.

IMG_0648_zpsb350b5c3.jpg

Nice looking Man's bag ...... can i buy one and wear around my waist instead of using it as a sun visor?

J/K

Good working progress, hope to see this beast on the street sometime.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
