haha, not too bad. I'll get the new car soon hopefully. I've paid the auction fee and everything and I've been looking at auctions for months now, but so far nothing has been good enough. Anyway, I have to sell the Skyline first. I've had a few offers, but turned them down.

Sure will, already got one Dyno Challenge Winner trophy in the cabinet and looking to put some more in there. Should be tuned for over 430awkw by then.

Maybe i missed something, but the website doesn't give an address of where the workshop is?

We like genuine enquiries thats why there is no address. We have had experience with blow-ins just milling around with no real reason to be there but get in the way and ultimately piss people off. We can be contacted either by email or pm here...Paul...DIRTgarage.

so to get a service some1 should email u then wait for a reply for u tell them your secret location?do they need a password?

yes a booking is required for all our work, as is the case for most performance workshops. Our location is no secret to people who genuinely want work done,it is a secret for c0ckheads who dribble sh1t. A password is not required.Paul...DIRTgarage.

u in newcastle yet Cowie??

Hey Chris! yeah mate got back two weeks ago, then saw you're selling your car!? Say it aint so!

Thunderbolt's Way is the road the goes from the Pac Hwy, about 10mins north of Raymond Terrace, and eventually (4hrs later) pops out on the New England Hwy about 10mins south of Armidale. There are a few towns on the way for fuel etc. The views are awesome, the half-day turnaround point is a lookout that is absolutely brilliant. I wish I could find the pics I took last time :D

It's frequented by bike riders, because of the fun you can have without exceeding the speed limit. When I last went it was good scenery, fun corners, fairly regular overtaking points (went past a few trucks/grandmas) and light traffic.

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      Airbox for +T

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
