i own a FJ20 bluey with a microtech MT8 front mount 3" mandrel exhaust 11 pounds boost and have raced (and won) against R32's, R33's (not GTR's), 5.7's new falcon turbos and plenty more!

never under rate an FJ!! or a bluey for that matter...

yeh it is lighter but no chance that is just wat he is saying tho ey? cause dont 4get forged pistons, extra .2ltr, engine balancing that should account i suppose! and yes the forgeys were put in cause b4 the rebuild it neva came close to breaking traction in thirds n now too easy so they must have

what turbo are you running?

the bluebird would have about 350-400kg less lard than your skyline

no doubt the bluey would have a 3" mandrel system, no cat...and the fact that a stock FJ20 with a decent tune and 1bar would make ~170rwkw, what does your skyline make??

then the fact my 164rwkw SR20 bluebird ran a 13.43sec 1/4 with an open diff and bobjane all rounders, the first time ive ever been drag racing......

well iam running standard t28 and APPARENTLY so is he

no dynotune 4 me yet but just look at my mods mayb mine is just outta tune badly but thats my first lost since rebuild! thats y i am shocked. but da thing is usually third gear i pull away from most cars, cause wit the forgeys i can take it out to 8 and still making pulling power rather than 7 originally!

but is dda fj better than Rb

there is your problem, if thats a R32 t28 then its only good for 160rwkw....forged pistons do nothing for power (or very little), they are just able to withstand higher HP...revving it any harder isnt do much as your turbo is too small, would just be dropping off in boost

FJ vs RB20....it depends on who you ask.....but id take a FJ anyday ;)

okay thas a fair enough argument but if the rebuild has done nothing as per turbo not being change y does the car kick widly in 1st and second and chirp into thirds because it never seemed to do that on the standard engine so i disagreeon it not effecting power but the dyno graph should tell all after new turbo is bolted up early next yr!

were you running the same boost, IC, exhaust before the rebuild??

the balancing and the increased capacity will be the most part of the power increase...

the extra cubes would bring the boost threshold lower in the rev range...meaning it would have better torque down low, hence the wheelspin city in 1st/2nd ;)

I can't believe you would be stupid enough to race your car, after a rebuild might I add, and not have it dyno tuned.  Too much money I think, or not enough brains?

I too would take the FJ20!

too much money pppfftt i wish!!

the car is all i got mate, so nah!

stupid enough to race after rebuild ummm its well and truly outta running in period thanks u neva asked that as if i would run straight after rebuild! its been a few month now since rebuild n there is no point dyno tunning it as it is not pinging or nething whilst running and cause i DONT have enough money i cant afford to tune B4 new turbo and after new turbo goes on so i will save up till after!!!! :flamed:

all same as b4 yeh! thats y havned really worried wit the dyno but back to the orginal thread is:

with my mods verses his apparent mods could i loose ( haha well i did) but should i loose.... the thing is i dont beleive that bb has wat i have been told??

mmmmhhhh ur cubes theory and balancing theory very intresting

i will recap suppossed facts FJ20, microtec, no tuned, FMIC,1bar, pod, exhaust prob basic mods VS rb22, safc , stroked, forged, balanced, FMIC,pod,exhaust,1bar, f/pump fuel reg.......... my point being i think he had more than what i was lead to beleive or is microtec n b/bird that great?????

believe all you want....id still put my money on the 'bird.....

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
