Wow..VERY nice work!!

Just a quick question- having recently got a line of defects in my close to stock 33, how the hell do you avoid police attention in something as awesome as that??? Surely its a problem for you especially with those plates??

havent been pulled up yet .... exept once buy the pig on a bike on his way home tried to tell me he was trained in estimating speeds after i laughed at him he opened his wallet and coins fell down the side of my car ... thats police hospitality 4 ya .... i then proceded to argue how he could estimate my speed when he was a kilometre away and on a road bike ... after he told me the good old, i am in a good mood tonight so i will lwt u go .. not i dont have a radar and my wifes at home probably with another man so i cant stay and argue routine he then called me a hoon i said to him in a closing sentence ..... i am an enthousiast does that make me a criminal ......he then replied the number plates leave much to the imaginationand away he went.....

god bless him for just doing his job......

Hmm...maybe its reverse pyscology then, get the most modified car around, with plates that say "pull me over, i street race" ( :lol: not that i'm saying you do :) ) and they stay off your back.. interesting :)

Guess you've been lucky..or i've been unlucky...or a combination of both :P

Anyways back to topic - awesome car. 'nuff said B)

thats before i put 19k into the engine finished it a month ago, 13sec out of the stock engine i had in it before the rebuild and running 19inch wheeles that day who wouldnt do a 13 now thats history... but thanks for reminding me...

Plans on a brake upgrade at any time at all perhaps? :lol:

That was the first thing i did when i got my car, slotted dba 4000 n 'track' pads

Mate awesome car, wat mod plates u have to get also wat engineers certificates u got?

no mod plates or engineer certificates but yea i had hopes of a 10 sec at jambo but of coarse just when you think everythings ok the gearbox lockes up and when it did go i couldnt get second so with thAT in mind i bought a 6 speed dog box going in this week i am just waiting for the other wastegate and turbo from jap land so soon it will be twin turbo tdo625g and twin 48mm trust external wastegates with screemer pipes its gonna be loud as fu*k...i want to put a 4 inch straight through exaust..

i understand y people say how come so much money on a gtst but once i start building somthing i can stop ... but year i no i need the big brakes soon .....

I need a lift back from Willowbank when I destroy my box so you should come out. I can't be seen in anything that does slower than a 12 now. It's an image thing.

BTW, nice car....I am kinda the same....the only thing that stops me from spending more money on mine is the lact of it. I pretty much did what I could afford the the engine internals but I would have liked to do some other crap. At the end of the day I will be happy if I do an 11 on an engine I built.

I also admire your large wallet with the worn out edges.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
