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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
