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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
