Blew that much black smoke I thought it was a D-tune, as in 'diesel'. He must've been an unhappy boy with whatever was going wrong, almost like his cooler hose blew off.

And it wasn't as quick as I'd imagined it could've been...pilot more than car,methinks...

yep, exactly Jayce, as you said, that thing should have been pulling 1.10's all day on street rubber and the best i clocked it at was a high 1.14, he was powersliding all over the place and he sure as hell would'nt have been doing that if he could drive.

hge thanks to Jayce and David for your help on the day.....great to meet you guys and the other new faces

I towed it home, blew a tyre on the trailer about mittagong (no spare of course it was blown too) and stumbled back home at about 60. Parked the trailer with the car still on it in disgust and had a beer. And thats where it has stayed.

I'll chuck a new std puter in there and see if that was the problem...otherwise i get to start the whole looooong troubleshooting process again

farking GTRs, its almost a shame they are sooo much fun.

And I've set a new slowest lap for wakefield, 1.17 on my sole timed lap hahahahaha

Hey,no problems!

Woohoo! I went faster! (OK,so I busted my nuts ALL day to go fast versus your single timed lap...). I noticed the R34 finally got a reasonable time in at the end of the day...new owner maybe starting to come to grips with his new steed? Either way,that car was HORN!

When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
