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 :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
