Let's see, my dealings with Steve - he advertised a newly rebuilt RB25DET gearbox with an OS Giken Cross Set on the forums here.......I bought it off him, put in in my car to find out it wouldn't go into 4th at all - it was stripped by Western Suburbs gearboxes in Brisbane to find out it was a completely standard box with a blown 4th gear synchro & 3 smashed keys (had never been rebuilt in their opinion). Steve promised to repay the outlays for the repairs, never saw all the $$, doesn;t answer calls, emails etc.

I reported it to the administrators on this forum but for some reason they have not added him on the bad trader list!?

yea slapper i had a similar dealing with him. payed him for a safc II only to be fudged around for a good 3 months on stories as to why i have not recieved it and that it had been sent but has vanished and blah blah blah. after sending a message saying i was going to go to the cops if i didnt get my money back i finally did. I think skylinegeoff is mates with him who is a fairly respected vic person.

Lets talk about the gearbox......

yes indeed. it should be interesting having a rear wheel drive with a 1000hp reving to 12grand. the synchros love it :D

im asuming you are geting it fully tubbed with a nice 4 link setup?

and then thers the fuel budget... :P

but should be fun. we have a new lagmaster charlie ;)

no ofence intended to anyone, just my 2 cents, we all have our own definision of a quick set-up i mean err spastic street car.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
