Hi All quick intro been kick around on and off this forum for close to 5yrs. 

Car in its previous iteration was as follows. 

Basic built 26, drop in cams, head studs etc, oil pump etc. 

Os88 sequential (now removed and moved on)

Emtron kv8 controlled with a plethora of sensors. 

Now for the fun bit, I am currently working through a 8HP conversion with a kit from HPR. 

I'll throw some photos up of everything but I have created a IG just to make it easier to upload photos.

Noice. I've got the 8HP70 in my SQ5 and I thoroughly love it. The programmability of the gearbox has me wanting to do the 8HP75 conversion one day. Been following the stuff 8Speed AU have been doing, including the e-clutch. So cool!

Would definitely go an 8HP over a sequential if I get to the point where the power needs it.

Yea that was my reasoning in going to the 8hp from the sequential. The sequential was fun to drive hard but when cruising was a bit clunky.

Having had a self-built 6hp in my falcon(800hp) before the gtr was mint, cruise around none the wiser but plant it and hang on... bit of Jekyll and Hyde.

Are you going to use the Turbo Lamik TCU? That’s what I’ve been eyeing off.

You might want to have a read through this if you haven't paid for the HTG yet.

Thanks, I've seen quite a few mixed reports on HTG. He seems to be working through the issues raised and from what I can see he probably should have worked through the beta a bit more before releasing. 

I've just been shown these which I'll definitely be keeping any eye on considering it's Australian made and supported if my gearbox doesn't turn up before they're released.

      I think way too many people get caught up in the whole bigger TB for more power, but that's only if it becomes a restriction. In a FI environment, the TB size is not as sensitive, where as in a NA environment, you find with the throttle at 100% and if the plenum still registers a vacuum, then your TB is undersized and requires to be upgraded.

      Is there a reason why you want close to 600kW in a R32 GTS-t? Have you thought about suspension work, subframe changes (from a newer car, offsetting it), diff choice, brakes, gearbox? There's a high chance you're running a RB20DET gearbox which will not like close to 600kW being sent through it. Also a 6262 won't get you close to 600kW.

      By portaz · Posted

      Hi all. Just want to paint my front splitter on my 92 th1 gtr and paint shop says there are 2 versions one from 89 amd one from 92_94 Does anyone know if that's correct ? I assume it's the later one but better to check first.

      I prefer to be in the car to hear/feel it, remote tuning isn't the same. Also when something goes wrong I can back off the throttle much quicker than trying to relay that to the dyno operator.
