Great result Pete! Should be awesome to drive, nice quick ramp up then a solid pull all the way through.

So CRD are reading then obviously....

Hopefully they'll learn something from the humble little workshop that has fixed their f**kups and lift their game. They'd need to if anyone that was thinking of taking their car there had read all of the this thread.....

haha, then mine is somewhere inbetween, just need to do the suspension (but I wont)

He did a run on the car this morning and it was 390kw on 21psi , full boost at 3950 rpm on 98 pump, still working on it , looking promising

I have a set of S tune coilovers for sale :D

Faaaark Yeah! How's that for a low boost result.

Can't wait to see what happens when you really give it a tickle.

Think E85 will be enough to tickle it without more boost BUT it is good enough as is :banana:

Still might make 100 :cheers:

This is on 98 Pump
Here is the overlay of the car as it arrived.
If i hold the car at 3300rpm under load i can get 20psi.
This dyno run is seeing 22psi at 3950rpm and revving to 7000rpm in 5th gear

The Pic is an overlay of the run he did when I dropped it off (green) and today (red)

Not sure when the E85 will be done?

Need moar powah.

Nah, just kidding.

so what were all the changes?

I had the surge tank installed but the power changes were only , 6Boost Manifold, wrapped the manifold,modified and wrapped the down pipe, different intake as the old one would not fit with the 6Boost. played with the cams , tune and some magic sprinkles :worship:

good to see it has come up OK now.

An ARDC practice day is not the place to go unless you've done a lot of track work, it will be full of experienced racers trying to get their cars sorted and not beginner friendly.

You would be much better to go to one of John Boston's days at Wakefield, they get posted in NSW events. Or join SAU NSW and go to the track day at Eastern Creek, that will also be better then ARDC open practice/

Thanks Duncan :)

Assuming you're able to handle the power/torque as is right now.

I have no doubt I cannot handle the power it has driving hard but I will tell you this, I will enjoy what I can handle :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
