Hi Ants :action-smiley-069: You coming on the cruise on Sunday?

Sadly, I cannot. This weekend is busy with my fathers birthday on Sat and friends daughters 1st bday party on Sunday that we have been invited to.

Will try and see if can come up for a monthly meet and dinner though - it's not that easy FTM with a young family

Its awesome!!! It's a good thing the food places I really like are the opposite side of town to me or on either Sunny or Gold coast... It's too much effort to get fat...

lol - probably a good thing then eh?

Got my car back!

2hp short of the 400 club. At least i can be a big boy in the 300hp club!

There was a bit of dicking around involved (fuel lines falling off, AFM's not balancing, forgot to change the fuel filter, that sort of stuff) but EFI sorted it and the car is driving a lot better than it was all round. Valve springs are starting to be an issue at this point and i'm not looking to do any more engine work, so that's where she's going to stay for a couple of years. Pretty pleased at it (I mean, 450hp would have been great, but it is what it is: 20 year old engine), next stop, more suspension and brakes.

Very nice mate.

398hp is 296rwkw - its a good number for a standard RB26 and probably one of the more useable ones too lol

As long as it is all realiable, I think you must test all them horses out ;)

Good stuff Pete! How many boosts???

Sadly, mine is still having issues :( Won't be running at the test and tune on sat that's for sure, but have a zed guru coming round on sat to hopefully get to the bottom of it

I thought you were a Zed guru? :P

My motto is Fix it or F**k it. haha Sick of f**king it, didn't buy this car to be troubleshooting for weeks!

Mates motto is just fix it lol

Plus he can tune, and runs a restore and modification business ;)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
