market cap of $2mil was changed to $250mil last minute. I dont get that. anyway, my measly $500 will wait till Oct. 

my thoughts exactly, no f**ks given 

I'd like to point out that E85 Scotty recently sold his yellow, stroked out evo, adding to the list of former evo owners.

However, the buyer was old mate Sunkist/Aaron...who previously owned a white one. I wonder how long it lasts in his hands...



Mate I give it a month before that flamin mongrel sells it

If I buy the supra I'd have to allow 2 years for Barry to build the bottom end



No, you would become a 2j fanboi that believes they can take 1000hp totally stock

Lol 2Js are better than RBs no doubt about that

but... 1000hp from a stock bottom end sure...

might only last a few thousand Ks though :)

He likes Toyotas more, it would prolly progress faster than an RB. I notice the Toyota blocks are always the most complete looking in the engine room haha

Shouldn't be much in the way of it besides Barry's daily work now. Machinist took ages with my block but that's done now, so onto the assembly and conversion. I've been told before end of the year so here's hoping.

Ahh really? I thought it was a complete engine ready to bolt in.. I'm guessing he's just giving it a freshen up with new bearings and what not? 

Yep sort of. It was complete (head separated from engine, but intact nonetheless). Barry offered to pull apart the block, check and reassemble...I thought it would be stupid not to while it's out and it's a second hand engine. We found the head comp was way too high from being over machined and some of the machining on the block was rough, so he sent it off to get tidied up. It's added a lot of time to the project but very glad he found that shit before it gave me troubles in the car...

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
