Thanks skyginer.

Looking to paint the car now it's off the road for a bit as the converter ate itself on the weekend so I think I will do a rack and pinion steering conversion e85 and paint job over the next few months.

Gearbox fixed again. New ecu lt16c with flex fuel and dash installed drives and runs smoother than the lt12 that was in it before. Just waiting for a drum of e85 to arrive to finish if the flex tune.

Looks like I might be looking for a bigger turbo now the gearbox is sorted. Lol

I hope it all works for you,

Gearboxes must be getting hard on the pocket and with the extra power comes extra stress on everything.

But it is all part of modifying these things , trying to get it all to work together and hope you have not over done it, haha

Hard not to try and get what you want from your ride without going that little bit further to get it :)

Lucky for me the guys at mv in Adelaide have covered most of the cost under warranty. No chance of being over it yet. If it was easy everyone would be doing it that's what I keep telling myself anyway. Lol

Been a while since any updates. Retune with 6boost and new cooler pipes was 350kw on 16psi. Car is apart finishing r31 rack conversion as no one can rebuild the steering box. Also modifying the rear control arm mounts to make them adjustable. Will add photos over the next month.

    • And this is the the thing with a high powered, AWD, heavy car. The engine is easy, the driveline costs just as much as the engine. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to GTRland. Whatever you think your budget is, double it. Whatever you think your timeline is, triple it.
    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
