rev210,

I managed to beat that R34 last time, I think I got lucky though. You better be quick though, sounds like he has got a big turbo and race tyres on order.

I doubt that the S-AFC will get you to 12's or 113mph, but you could be the fastest stock-tubo GTS-t around.

See'ya:burnout:

Unless your using a shitload of Toluene, I can't see it making much difference unless you adjust your base timing. You should be able to run more advance with it in. But you weren't running full boost last time were you?

Maybe it's time for that FMIC?haha.

See'ya:burnout:

20% or so is all that will be necessary. 4L in 20L of fuel is quite an eye opener. I suggest you try it.

I think I'll buy some nice rims and tyres before the fmic, after all both those mods are about looks more than anything :lol:

I ran around 10psi last time, on the 13.4 run. Thats what I consider to be 'full' boost.

Rhino,

I know he was running only a FMIC and boost, putting out 208rwhp at the dyno, but he has ordered a big turbo etc, which should be going on soon. He's after big power, and he's got the money to do it.

Rev210,

I'll be keen to see the difference that the toluene makes to your times, if the difference is noticable then I may try it myself.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeah, you can just buy it from the hardware store. rev210 has a place he uses, but most stores have it, works the same as an octane booster, but may provide more power aswell.

I'm planning on running the VP 103, but at $110 per 20 litres, it's only good for the drags.

Macka: dude most stores DON'T have it, I should know I've looked in just about all of them.

Makit Hardware in Balcatta next to marlows balcatta. bout $24 for the 4L tin. Compares nicely with the cost of VP 103 for smaller volumes and craps on it for octane and energy value, it's just not as 'green'.

It's well worth a try I have a litre in the fuel at the moment (20% mix) and it gives a good old kick.

I'm sure you will like the extra timing Macka.

Bringing two members together, I feel like a match maker.

Although Osc@r had problems with spiking I don't think this will be as bad on a stock turbo, I used one for a while and it seemed to do OK, but compared to an EBC they suck.

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
