yeah im not saying I believe it.. just saying we'll see what happens! I dont really care either way as im just another on-looker  :rofl:

If everyone had the same attitude as you did it would make things a lot easier, that is just let the results do the talking when the car is actually finished.

I didnt have to talk about this car when the topic came up but I did solely because I thought sau would be interested in such an ambitious project.

Considering Benny has pulled nearly 500rwkw out of an SR that wasnt even stroked its fair to say that he has the know how how to deliver the goods with a car such as this.

and whats that about eating my words ash? I find that pretty funny coming from someone who compares Racepace(who are an excellent shop no doubt) to Japans finest :headspin:

according to the guys at the workshop it was, but other things have come up too, they have a business to run after all, its not like the car wont be built its just taking longer than expected, as all these big projects tend to

you said why bother with smokey because we have racepace, thats a pretty big statement too ash, in fact its too big

Its not too big at all Sam, its big by you as you have no idea what your on about.

Are you gonna take your car to smokey then??  

I think not

does any Melbourne shop take, for example, an VQ35 and test out nearly every turbo setup on it? both singles and twins? as well as other components including cranks, pistons, rods, gaskets, and everything in between? DO they do this with nearly every engine and every car?

Racepace build amazing cars no doubt, arguably the best in Australia but I highly doubt that they puts as much R&D into every setup possible as Top Secret would, thats why the Japanese are the masters of the game, they put the money into testing different ideas, if they blow an engine or crash a car big deal, their budgets can absorb it quite easily.

and if my car needed a retune and I had the time to take it down to sydney hell yes I would take it down to Smokey

Ash, you really need to need to learn to keep some of your non constructive views and comments to yourself.

Try and keep this thread to your original topic rather than puting down in one thread people who have dedicated their lives to acheiving things that neither you or me will ever achieve.

When you start bagging workshops you bring this forum and club into disrepute. I know for a fact that benny always does good deals for people from this forum and club and and goes out of his way to help out others.

As a rep of this club and this forum your not setting the geatest example.

Think before you brain fart.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
