So, car is getting dropped off to Jez this coming Saturday. Needless to say I'm pretty keen.

Brief run down, Xspurt 1000cc, Walbro fuel pump, Z32 AFM. I was originally planning to fit a Hypergear SS2, but decided the slight power increase wasn't worth the coin. Plus I really enjoy the responsiveness of the current high flow that is fitted. Hypergear rates them to ~260rwkw which should still be nice and fun.

After discussions I have also opted to change from the PowerFC to a Nistune. There is something else worth mentioning here, but I'll wait until it's done, unless someone can guess :ninja:

A friend at the hill climbs also finally posted up the video of my "tyre warmup procedure" haha.

Haha, nice :laugh: .

At the Hillclimb I did, you were only permitted to 'clean the tyres', and you got kicked off for 'doing a burnout' :closedeyes: .

Whats the difference? :rolleyes:

^^ This. Lol.

That video was on my last run but I had done pretty much the same the last run. My 'warmups' gradually got bigger each time haha.

So the car has been with Jez since last Saturday, and I am picking it up this coming Saturday.

Battery has been relocated to the boot.

New intake piping has been made up.

Injectors, fuel pump (direct feed wired up), and Z32 AFM have all been installed.

Nistune board is installed in the stock ECU and the car is on the dyno today with a fresh set of plugs and a new fuel filter :D

Ok guys car came off the dyno yesterday afternoon.

I'm pretty happy with the results. Peak power was 238.5rwkw at 18.6psi dropping to 16.2psi. The turbo was literally running out of puff and couldn't push anymore power, which is evident by the fact it made 237.4rwkw at 16psi haha. The car also made 203.8rwkw at 10psi, which is the same power it was making when the original owner tuned the car with the stock turbo at 15psi lol. The car also made 610nm of torque which I was surprised about and pretty damn happy with.

Cheers guys.

Good results but I thought Stao said his new highflows made way more power than that.

Is this an older version or something Timmy?

I have owned the the car for roughly 2 years and the high flow was done 6 months prior to me purchasing the car.

When I messaged Stao he suggested it would be good for up to 260rwkw as we are under the assumption that it was the original OP6 turbo that was high flowed and refitted, I have nothing to confirm this though unfortunately. Jez said he recently tuned an OP6 high flow in a car running United 100 octane to 270rwkw so they are obviously capable. Being in the dark with the turbo it's hard to know. I was hoping to hit the 250kw mark, but it is still a responsive 240kw and has more torque than I was expecting, which will be more important for me really with entering NSW Hill Climb Champs next year :)

So, picked up the car on Saturday, pretty happy with how it performs, nice and responsive, sounds much nicer and has a bit of a rough sounding idle which is cool. Also, most high rpm gear shifts pop and sometimes shoot flames lol.

Anyway, after the 9 hour round trip to get my car, the inevitable happened once I got home.

For the first time ever, I was pulled over for a "random" vehicle inspection :(

The cops were from Armidale, being all the way out here because it was the Bathurst race weekend.

Luckily I received no fines, apparently because of my good attitude, but the car was defected for unenclosed pod, too low, and wheels protruding from the guards. Anyway, now I have 14 days (minus 2) to get the car to pass a full inspection/blueslip. Best/worst birthday lol. Happy times :'(

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
