Hi Mick, had a few quickish cars , even the 350GT with the twin turbo kit got it going with good torque to help from the getgo.

Not much good having speed if you cannot stop it :(

Yeah Bob, my mechanic is a racer from way back and he runs the same pads, I gave him a choice to use whatever he thought would be best for me but said if I want to start doing some runs I would have to upgrade them. I think they were ultima

Good to see it making a noise again, so I guess it could be all done very soon, but ??

Tried to post the vid , only short but still too big to download and I do not know how to make the file smaller :(

FINALLY! :D

Looking forward to seeing some results Pete

Hi Mick, yeah mate it will be interesting BUT nothing like a lot of blokes think it will be, before the build we were expecting about 400awkw on 98 pump and going hard early, limited around 8000 ish. It will be interesting for me to see the difference the stroker will make from idle ?

If it is not better than my TT350GT I will be pissed as my Son has it now and will stick it to me :(

Just wanted a gutsy 34 street car to get that smile back on my wrinkly old mush :)

I am excited to see how all the drivetrain works in together with the changes. I probably will not get the full benefit from the work, but I will try to enjoy it

sent Paul an email with the short vid of the car going, he will probably say they switched the plates,lol

Its alive!! Hah someone had to say it, thats great news pete. 400kw and 8000 revs will be awesome with all that torque. I think your build is well executed for what you want from it.

LOL, thanks Mick, I will wait until I see the Dyno work and drive it before I pat myself on the back. The good thing with the stroker, there are many ways to go if I want something else from it , I hope not as it has cost much more than it should have :(

It is a different Nitto 3.2 combination than I could find regarding turbo and cams and it should be interesting to see how they will go, I have no idea but it will be fun to find out :)

Most guys that go such a large engine whack a big fark off turbo on it.

It's gonna be a rip snorter! Bulk torque at any rpm, won't have to rev it to the moon to make it want to get a hurry along.

Stop dicking around and get some results already! :D

Congratulations!

So good to hear.

No need to worry.

The gtr will have more usable power than the 350gt

It gets traction.

.Getting close Luke :)

My 350 was an Auto and after TT turbo, exhaust ect it was a fun car, never missed a gear change,lol

My 34 will have a shit load more KWs + HP and should smash it. I just need to get the bloody thing run in, tuned up and get to feel the drivability of it, now that is something to look forward to :)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
