looks like the weekend of the 16/17 is bad for a few people, simple fix, how about the weekend after?

Yup!That'd work for me!And probably everyone,'cept maybe Amaru (low blow,dude,I know-but it'll be back meaner than ever once it's done!I have faith in ya!).

What actually happened dude? Haven't you replaced just about everything now!!?

Well the bolts on the front driveshaft sheared out and the driveshaft fell apart. So got it towed to mechanics, and while it was there was getting some new goodies installed (twin plate clutch + chromolly flywheel, new oil sump baffles, camshafts, suspension, brakes etc). When we got the oil sump off we noticed there was some internal engine 'damage'. You can read about it here --> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=52879

But hats off to Greg from Pro Engines (http://www.proengines.com.au) who originally built the engine and is fixing the problem. If you ever need an engine rebuild, make sure you check him out, excellent work and hes a top bloke too :)

Aurora: makes a huge difference, we had a hybrid high flow turbo installed, went from 214 to 252@rw, can safely handle 18psi, but to get anymore power (or more boost), i have to get an air fuel controller and boost controller, initial estimates from evo reckon aprrox 300@rw is achieveable , i dunno about that, but am keen to see what we will get,,,,,i love the sound of the turbo, screams pretty beautiful to me!!!! hahahahahaha

Quoted $1950 over phone, I'm ripping it out and reinstalling myself, i've already got a boost controller and a z32 afm with blitz front mount and hks pod, bigger injectors, and fuel pump, so the thing stopping the power is likely the turbo. Get it done and then a power fc and ex. cam pulley, should make 240+. Hope to have it all done by xmas, but we'll see.

I'll keep everyone posted, then you can decide if it is what you want etc. Also will have my old rechipped [250+km/h] puta for sale soon.

ok well i thought id make up a list as i already got bored of taxi racing (bathurst, lap15)

    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
    • Being behind an RB25DET, we know he won't have the small box for long at all...
