Ok a bit of progress, if all goes to plan the car will be going up to A&T autos in Toowoomba early next week and receiving a Stage Three (full manual, no more ecu bs) transgo shift kit and a 3000~ stall converter...

I'm just trying to get it ready for this drag day, I have to take it down and chop a certain silver maxima lol

Ok bit of an update, kinda:

*Stage three transgo shift kit has been ordered

*3200 stall to suit my cam has been ordered through the converter shop in brissy

*new tires will be purchased this arvo (only skinny ones as I need them before Monday and no one stocks big ones

*had a talk to Jamie from Forced performance in Toowoomba and confirmed i will be getting a cam package (cam springs pushrods tune) through those guys as soon as the box is finished, ended up going a comp cam 232/234 112lsa lumpy stick and have had the converter built to suit this

*car is booked in for Monday to begin the box overhaul

Also fitted yesterday:

Fitted this afternoon

*new rear tires (just pissy 235s)

*new battery clamp

*new earth cable

*new brake pads

i always thought you were some jerk with a NA skyline,

and then i read this, yes it is a NA but its a LS1 - fair play son

I dont understand how people miss that fact, its written, right there <<<< :P

But yes I wouldn't doubt the fact that I'm still some jerk with an NA skyline (#@t5iv #@Sabbi #@Cadmoon #@olloSKYLINEollo they'll confirm this lol), but yer it's a much more formidable force with the V8 now compared to the old Natro RB.

I'm just glad someone's reading my ramblings

Good luck nick,hope she flys for ya.

Thanks :wub: ... I'm just waiting for the 15th so I can drive it

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
