So everything's all done and dusted, got the car back last night from paramount performance in Toowoomba (great guys to deal with Terry really knows his stuff when it comes to GM V8s) and I'm super super happy with it.

It ended up making 264rwkw/355rwhp (through an auto with a slippy converter) the car sounds completely off it's head I love it so much. Ended up just putting in a new cam, pushrods, valve springs,double row timing chain and getting it tuned, and it made a huge difference (80~ rwkw difference)

Now where's bunta to convert the tractive effort to NM properly? I bet shes putting down some impressive torque for "only" 260 KW

sounded sick in the vid too Nick! Uber jelly!

Thanks man, yer the video really dosent do it justice just ask Tom he was sitting behind the car today lol

But yer no idea how much torque it made, is very nice to drive,after around 4g it's just a smoke show though lol

That's impressive for that old LS! Bet you're a happy man! You gonna squeeze some more out of her?

Not for a while, maybe some spray later on but for now it goes well... Has no grip ever lol

Too hard, the gearbox and diff are unfamiliar to me.

Nice result Nick!

    • Swapped the injectors around and the misfire followed. I went ahead and ordered the Deatschwerks 550cc injectors and am currently waiting for them to be ship and arrive. In the meantime, I've had my Nistune soldered to the ECU. Tested it, and and tried it out with the software. Everything should be prepared for when the injectors arrive.  
    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠
