sounds good... but I think it is the gear used and the prep work. (Painted the wheel well in sound deadning tar, 5 layers of fibreglass and sealed the enclosure)

never really used alpine gear before but it really does produce quaily sound!

my car lives :( i got it off the hoist today, and it's now in my drive way. I did a shit job of bleeding the brakes, so i'll redo it tomorrow. And it gets tuned on wednesday.

Glad to hear its back on the road Ben, hopefully the tune goes well and you make it out to Symmonds :laugh:

You'll have to fire up some pics so we can see the only bits of a Porsche worthy of use on a GTR!

Here's some pics. I'm not sure if there big enough ;)

Awesome! Best bit they have on those german tractors. Rest of the skyline is OK too :no:

And you've got an 850R* ?!

* Or T5-R? Nice anyway.

That's mum's car.

My car didn't start to get tuned till this afternoon, it's running 280rwkw atm, and the cam gears havn't been set yet, and it's getting better plugs to run more boost :wave: . Should be done tomorrow.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :miner:

Looks pretty sweet Luke, hope you get everything sorted out soon :laugh:

Haha, awesome.

My family's always had volvos (Dad has 2 old 240s and a 740 turbo - which he's pulling the motor out of for one of the 240 wagons), guess it rubbed off on me.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
