i heard the R31 only runs a 13, squats and goes all over the place

Haha, I can imagine, mine already has major squat related traction issues and its probably only making 170kw at the fly, if that... Bit of a design flaw that.

Have you got any internal mods on this engine?  

R you gonna go RB25/30 for your new engine?

Yeah it has the usual mods, forgies, cams, big injectors etc. I did have all the specs on my computer but it crashed and i lost it. It will make a lot more power yet with new computer and more timing will make 300rwkw easy.

Cool! hopefully I will break through that 300rwkw barrier soon, I was thinking of going for a bigger turbo also but I dont like lag so I think I will stick with the 3037 for awhile yet.

Where in Tas are you? How much boost are you running? I have had car dynoed twice had problems both times. 1st go 262.5rwkw @ 13.2psi then shagged the plugs. 2nd go 269.6rwkw @ 14.2psi and the standard computer started retarding the timing. I am making about 7rwkw for every 1psi.

I had standard head, standand cams, standard exhuast manifold with 3" exhaust, big injectors, FMIC, HaltechE11 and running bout 14psi and I got 269rwkw.

Now I am rebuilding engine so most of that stuff has been upgraded expect for turbo, haltech and injectors. So the only thing stoping me to make more that about 320rwkw is the turbo, but I dont think I will upgrade as I dont want big lag either.

Im in Launceston

I spoke to the owner of the white R34 GTT with graphics, a kit and stock rims down here in Hobart and he reckoned his car was running NOS and making close to 500bhp. Personally i call bullshit, but you never know. From what i saw it has a decent sized FMIC, full exhaust (3.5" or maybe 4" towards the back), boost controller and some gauges.

Reason why i call bullshit is coz he said he was running "Stage 1" NOS. When i asked him what HP shot he was running and to explain exactly what "Stage 1" NOS is he just repeated it was Stage 1. I also said what turbo, he said standard :bs!: .

The car came from NSW and was tuned at a reputable workshop, i cant remember which one exactly. He still has the workshops sticker on his rear windscreen.

Standard turbo id say it was :bs!: also

Yep im calling :bs!: aswell, although if its true he can do what ever mods he wants to my car to get that amount of power from stock internals and turbo

Yeah Tim a boost controller is NOS didnt you know that? :lol:

Thats why everyone loves the missile switches on the bleed valve setups so they can be LiKe Da FaSt AnD Da FuRiOuS N DeY cAn B KoOl LiKe PaUl WaLkErZ n BlOw DeIr FlOoR oN2 Da RoAd WhEn DeY hIt Da NoOoOoOzZzZzZ SwITcHoRz SiIiIiIkKKKK!!

... that was a tad overused eh? haha

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
