So, the dyno results hey With the blower at around 5-7 psi at it, it got to 317kwatw and about 950nm... So a gain of about 47kwatw, but a extra 500nm of gearbox destroying, rubber layi

they do in 4th. When tuning with HPtuners need to "activate" lock up but can have trouble staying in lock up mode on a chassis dyno.
Good result from a"standard" ls1. So when is blower being ordered?

The shift kit will have it hit the limiter in 3rd, is that the same as locked up?

Paul said he just ran it up in 3rd (1:1?) and checked fueling, which was slightly rich, he said he could spend some time advancing the timing a bit to get a little more, but that it's not really cost effective to retune it for a small gain.

 

I think it will stay like this.

It's a comfy cruiser.

I will wait for the apocalypse to finish then look at something "more sporty" then.

Or, buy a 5.0 Mustang and blow it, maybe????

I'm f**king hopeless.

New shoes are on, 275 on the rear are #verysortofflush

Also stopped at Strathfield car audio to see about replacing the stereo.

f**k it, that pioneer thing will do, the guy is installing it as I type.

To all audiophiles, as long as I can play the Cramps, the Misfits, some Leonard Cohen and can find ABC classic radio I'm fine.

The headunit is mainly for Google maps and the phone.

This ISO business sure has affected you!

LOL, it actually has quite a bit, BUT, if I follow my drills and use PPE I'll be fine.

The car boot is full of hand sanitiser, black latex gloves, P2 masks and a good folding chair for when I need to wait somewhere, you need to be comfortable when sitting in the sun watching "Fringe" for hours on end during the apocalypse.

Those new Hankook tyres are damn good as well.

In other news: I'm thinking of swapping the middle 2 mufflers for some "cherry bombs".

I think the car needs more "loud and obnoxious".

Horray

New blinker stalk = fixed cruise control 

You cannot have a cruise ship without auto-pilot

And....as the #Bogancruiseship has a tow ball, I can now find a real project

Maybe a motorbike for something different, and cheap (ish)

May I suggest a speedboat?

Jetski is the obvious choice

Yeah nah, I've had a go on a few jetskis but cannot really see their point.

It's either going to be a car or bike 

I do keep looking at MX5's, ?, a NA or NB maybe?

Depends on how much work you want to do. The NB is basically a better NA. The NB Turbos are a hidden gem but getting pricey now. 
The NC's are the fastest base, but you'd need a fair amount of work, or FI or a 2.5L swap to really put them ahead of a NB with a turbo (or factory turbo).

For max simplicity though, 86 is (again) the answer. If you want something different buy my Renault considering you can tow it ?. Unfortunately I cannot say buy my gf's turbo MX5 as i will be swiftly murdered.

I'm thinking a bobber type build, I'm to old and arthritic for a sports bike.

Maybe a Triumph Speedmaster bobbered and murdered out.

Fark, who am I kidding, It could end up being anything.....

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
