haha I like the social aspect of it. He got a new car and wanted to try it out on some roads so I offered the Cotter. He's idea, so I wouldn't go unless he was. Bank account frozen (no work) so fuel has to be used wisely :P

Just got news from iron chef that my car is on the way to compliance and should be there this week. They are installing new tires and band extender so I can pick up Aus radio.

Sooo close now

Where is pick up?

We should do a cruise in honour of Daniel and his new riiiiiiiiiide.

mine took about two weeks get yourself a permit btw. NSW,ACT.I picked up mine from Melbourne so i didnt know i had to get a permit for NSW,VIC and ACT. Driving back got pulled over in NSW and they were meant to give me a $1200 fine but they let me go. Save yourself the hussle and get all permits.

Yeah right now I have paid about $13,500
Iron Chef quoted about $16,500 landed and complied.
So his guess is around $3000

They are fitting the cheapest possible tires for me because I won't be keeping the rims.
Also a radio band extender so I can pickup aus radio stations.

Room. I has none.

I think I'm going to investigate a storage unit for 4 months or so. Not an expense I need right now, but if it's not long term at least I won't be forking out for one indefinitely.

Storage, at least theres a bit of choice these days,

Cant build a shed where you are.

Was thinking the Bond roll bar thats FIA approved and bolt in might go well in the 32.

I can take it out for road use.

1/2 cage is probly the way to go.

Whaddayareckon?

$1015.00 six point roll cage with diagonal.... $670.00 1/2 cage with
diagonal
thanks 02 45879672

Hi, im wondering if you make the removable roll bar/cage for R32 Skyline.
If so, what are the options and cost.
thanks, Mike.

Speaking of good locations .... here's a trip (with stages) I hope to be doing in the next few months if things go my way .. if they don't go my way I'll stick to going to doing a lap around the ACT, to Civic for a coffee then home :closedeyes:

What sort of time frame do you expect to do this over?

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
