Do EFRs have much chop? I remember there being a war going on between the two in the forced induction section not long ago. At this stage though I just wanna get up and running with an induction system that is easy and reliable.

You went to the effort of getting decent twins? Just use them... Can swap later when/if something goes wrong or get bored. Focus on getting build done IMO

 

Ive stopped watching mighty car mods, they seemed to have got more annoying and "meta" than before. I shhould watch this 240 build, but theres so many more better edited actual tv shows in america now... And even though reality tv shits me to no end, at least theyre structured and cut the annoying stuff. I dunno, i just think its getting old.

The car came with the twins

It cost 11k and came with pfc, tein edfc,, greddy profec B, hks gt-ss + dumps, nismo 740cc, oil cooler, BBS LMs, plus a KENWOOD SUBWOOFER...

Been one of the best investments of my life hence my nonchalance for it to sit there and appreciate while someone effectively stores it for me...lock up car storage costs more than rego and insurance

All the torque. Be like the gtst but more of it everywhere and the traction to use it.

 

Honestly a similar response but more power and more grip version of my GTS-T would be amazing

Still over the moon with how the GTS-T performs. Could probably do with another 20-30rwkw just to get a little more edge over some of the faster euros - if you don't have perfect launch or changes the CLA45 will get you. But also cbf buying the tyres to support it.

Best person to ask would be Greg, admittedly he had older Garrett.

Worth ask him for his 2 cents?

You don't need the GTR. A setup GTT/GTST will do what you want before lag becomes too big of an obstacle.

GTR is only worth having if you have 600kw and that's entirely different animal when it comes to keeping it running and paying for it to get going to begin with.

IMO.

Source: Drove a Racepace 2.8 R33 gtr with 400kw, Legitimately preferred mine. You do notice the difference back to back, not to mention the likely 100K cost of this particular car.

The only thing you can't really do is 8k launches. Birds is known to do this to beat Merc A45's so his mileage may vary.

My 3L and gt35 combo was pretty useless below 100km/h unless you made the boost controller ramp slowly into max boost at 5500 instead of 3500-4000, then you had a chance to keep traction in 2nd on warm semis, was still no good off the line.

Thing I found with my GS was no matter what tyres or power you have, RWD and shitty Melbourne weather means you never get the chance to use it off the line, even if the roads are just damp forget it. 

The odd chance of a dry day, you line up and have had no chance to warm tyres anyway so you'll still be in spin city. 

Those sweet times it hooked up though.. rape train would hit hard not much would touch it 

The STI is good in all weather obviously, which is a welcomed change.. the FPV felt sketchy as soon as it rained :D STI will probably go flex fuel soon for that cheap power increase it needs

Just get some Nos for cheap power increase.

 

 

2 of the big ones

 

 

 

 

Worked briefly with a Russian engineer who has been here for under 5 years. Got a young daughter who was born here, looking to buy a house.

$130k deposit, wants to borrow $800k and bank doesnt want to give it to them. His wife isnt working, taking care of bubs. He is frustrated with lack of first home buyers support and the cost of stamp duty (which apparently has been adjusted in 30years etc.

 

My first thought was: thas a lot of money, especially for single income couple with dependant.

Secondly: why da f**k should they get first home buyers grant? Skilled worker, decent wage, immigrant. A LOT of people fit that category. I would have thought if/when there was such a grant in place, it would be for citizens or natives/torres only.

Drove past a nice 3 garaged house which looked nice (but not too nice) in Wantirna South the other day that had a sold sticker on it.. thought i'd look it up. 

1.5mill 

nope, cant afford it! 

so that 1.5 mill would get you, split level house on 27 acres with water frontage and spetacular views along with a shed for your bikes

Or for the price of a unit

8 car parks:

Crappy house there or

5 cars man cave, valley views and a pool.

10 car space, multiple sheds, golf course view on a full acre so no annoying neighbors

All these within 1 hour of CBD even in peak hour (I drive past them on my way in) even less to airport

Don't do it without a real estate agent

Not hard to change agents, particularly if you have an existing tenant happy to sign on again

Or change property manager, well my one was likely fired because she was dodgey as hell!

This doesn't make sense to me. Preference is preference but, all things equal in terms of power, a GTS-T will never hook up as good or as fast as a GTR at the 400kw atw mark and if it does it's because you're running warm slicks on a lovely dry road and you've put a ton of effort into your setup (like Luke's), or you simply don't have that much power. Post-launch it's a different ballgame, AWD starts to rob you of power, but it's never enough to negate the awesome launch...the quarter mile times don't lie and there's a reason people burn money on GTRs instead of the cheaper GTS-Ts even below 600.

This AWD means I can have a 500cc increase over my GTS-T, another 125kw atw and produce essentially similar response but with even better grip. That's the goal here. Everyone shoots for big power in GTRs and utilising the last 3500rpm of an 8000rpm of powerband. f**k that. Looking forward to the response.

P.S. The ideal launch in my GTS-T does not have a number given the tacho doesn't work...I now have to do this by feel ?

People of all incomes complain about what they don't get, perhaps not understanding the purpose of the grant. Probably a lot of people wondering why people who drop 600k on a place benefit from the scheme too. Actually, isn't it up to 750 now?

If you can willingly drop 800k on a house, you probably don't need the grant. If he was smart he'd go for something below the grant cut off and then sell it in a year for profits.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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.
