Recommended Posts

6 hours till the A-Bomb gets fired up, I'll make sure not to feed it before I leave as I hear it's got a breakfast of RBs and 4g63s waiting for it at QR ;)

(In all seriousness though getting pretty keen for tomorrow)

Is any one staying for the mighty car mods meat in that day? If so are all the skylines parking together? Thanks

I'll be staying around for a bit mate, then heading up to the ASPA meet at willowbank

Yeah great fun, first time at the track and had an absolute blast. had a few rookie errors

100% full tank.... (left turn lateral G causing a little bit of fuel to spill out the cap... frkkkkkkk :P)

and popped an intake hose off the turbo on thye last straight.,.... (i think/hope) ill wait for her to cool and ytake to her with a spanner and a can of redbull.

Thanks for organising sucha good event!

Had a ball today,the evo club are a good bunch,hopefully they run with us again,nothing bets an evo chopping.lol,probably the best one ive been to for a while,keep up the good work guys,but i cant leave in this note,had to have another evo crack,see picture.

This is my new friend ernie the evo,so sorry but i still got to chop you.

Thanks guys had another fun day no shuddering in the steering replaced pads machined rotors also balance and wheel alignment done. Ran good for a stock standard.

The Qld Evo Owners Group would really like to thank SAU for the invite to join you guys today. Everyone of the Evo guys reported back to me that they had a ball this morning & we would be honoured to join you guys again for other events.

One of our members suffered a major failure in the form of a suspected broken gearbox, 550hp @ the wheels will do that sometimes but all in all an awesome morning.

It's always a shame when someone breaks something at happy laps.

    • 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.
