Given my engine is 320kw stock, the 325 kit becomes the 375 kit I believe... Seem to be big losses though, 375kw resulting in like 280rwkw on their hub dyno... Maybe I've been out of the game too long but I don't remember skylines etc having that much drive train loss..

Holden's don't have huge drivetrain loss, it's just that their power figures are bullshit to begin with... They've always been that way

 

 

I heard a car flipped at sandown wrx track day on the weekend. Possibly turn 1. Maybe tried to steer through the kitty litter.
I'll need to check natsoft to see what times that white 33GTR was doing...

Yeah holdens always been more about a 'real' power figure which doesn't equate to much 'rwkw' compared to ford who list their number as almost 'rwkw' number. Not hating on Holdens, I actually like both. Holden have better interior and features, and update the nicer things more often, ford have better gearbox / engines IMO

 

There's 2 ways to go about an SS, big dirty cam and exhaust, keep it N/A for just over 300rwkw (ish)? or just bite the bullet and slap a charger on it from the get go for 400rwkw (ish)

Getting to sensible in my old age... Jetski once a year track bike and $500 Saturday nights not withstanding

Sell Jetski and get a supercharger, at least you use the car. 

Keep bike cos it aint worth much, then track it when you can be stuffed.

And how could I forget my terrible share portfolio

You and me both, the lesson here is, never try.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
