only gtr I’ve seen was a 34 that was completely stripped on the back of a tow truck, I think it was being restored 

Man I miss my old MK III Supra :(

Such a cool car, nothing overly standout, just... That mid to late 80s era!

Is that the same one as everyone else owned?

Nah, I had my one before Zeb bought that one that got passed around.

 

And I skipped the 7M jokes. I had the pleb spec 1G-GTE, with an Auto... :(

it was still hilarious though, such a slow thing, but would rip one hell of an epic skid on the brake when it finally stalled up onto boost... Standard turbos, but holding the brake and throttle, had to wait about 10 seconds for it to build up boost and be able to start to break traction... Ha ha ha

I hated my VA1 STI after I realised I would need to build the engine to get any real power for a 1550kg car safety

Pulse Racing did the usual mods to it, intercooler, CAI, injectors, turbo back exhaust and a fuel pump, that gave around 215kwatw, pulse said the turbo was then pretty tapped out, and if I wanted more power it would need a bigger turbo, and a built closed deck engine

The open decked, weak rodded EJ25 is junk in my opinion and should never have been used

In the end I just hated looking at it, it started to look like a Kia sedan to my jaded eyes

It was fun blasting it around on some dirt roads when I was working in Amberley though, but not to inspiring on the road

My 86, after I put a turbo on it to get around 215kwatw, was a much better car to blast around the streets in.....until I backed it into a guard rail after hitting some diesel that was on the road at a roundabout that is

I'm still jaded about killing the 86, I still have epic sads about that, and as they only released 60 of them, it makes the sads epic

But giving the Bogan Cruise Ship a hit now and then does make me forget about the 86, until my daughter reminds me by sending photos of the 2017 Limited edition ones she sees that is, there is one that lives in Goulburn, every time see see it she sends her poor old dad a photo, I really should spend her inheritance on holidays, expensive sports cars and other random stuff.......that will teach her :4_joy:

How did you get the RFP1’s to clear the brembos, my son just bought a set for his BRZ and they don’t clear the brembos

I just got the right offset I think

17 x 8 +45

That car had the ej207 engine in it and was a lot of fun, high reving smooth power delivery. 
 

the ej257 is known to be weaker but I have seen plenty making 285kw at the wheels on e85 with unopened engines. Everything I’ve heard is the semi closed (257) engine is good for 300kw before needing to close the deck, with pistons and rods always being recommended

17 x 8 +45 with 235/45 17

No rubbing anywhere, filled the guards great with a little 20mm drop on some MCA coils

And look at the red VX SS Commodore in the pic, fate?????

I just wanted to share this effort from Goulburn Mulwaree council

Full marks for resealing the road. Not so much for attention to detail.

I assume no one was looking at the precedences in the construction Gantt chart

I wonder who was doing the project management?

I wonder who was signing off on it?

At least there will be somewhere for a pot hole to start after they move the pole and do the "typical" patch job on the asphalt 

Local council ethos: If a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing half arsed.

I cringe everytime our local council fixes a pot hole or resurfaces a road, you just know it will be worse than what it was within a few months

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
