This is for those of us that attended the LS1/Skyline dyno day, & saw/heard Martin's Soarer make 281rwkw on stock turbos.

I can confirm that they are/were indeed stock unmodified CT12A's (well the one I played with was).

More amazing is that the turbo I had a look @ was in pretty damn good condition, considering it would've had a hard life!

I still can't believe how well they held up to 3.0bar of boost on the dyno day (ok so I made that bit up :P)

Martin,

Liked the story in HPI this month. Was spun out by the difference the new pipework made on the twin.

Quick question: Why is HPI so damn expensive and so thin?

Didn't renew my Hot4's subscription, no matter how many shirts and vids they tried to feed me but christ....9 bux?

i know...i'm cheap...

The way its going there will be no genuine HRT 427, which means I wont be having one. That saves me from the biggest personal loan known to mankind!

Good news on the Soarer is that it makes 322rwkw at 1.3 bar with its new turbo. Cant wait for the next dyno day! Its sort of a Skyline now too, as it has R34 GTR rims.

Martin, how does it launch now? Can you still compete in the traffic light 0-100??

I ran a black 33 the other night (i think it had silver/grey Zeni Tani sticker on side) and i killed him 0-100 off the line, then i back off-we're in a 60 zone- and then he comes screaming past (had an external gate or screamer pipe, which by the way i didnt think sounded very nice!)

What do you guys think of these cars with massive peak power, but that cant give a decent run off the line?? I dont see that as being very fun!

That said, i have 200rwkw, but need a few extra! Had trouble holding off a pack of 180's last night on anzac, and those buggers were launching awesome too!

Martin, also, can i get you to tune my car through tilbrooks? Do i just ring up and say i want you to do it?? And can i get a dump pipe of same design as your soarer ones on the TT setup? -i still have the cast factory dump.

gimme a price and ill be there, cheers.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
