Sorry Duane, yes that's what I meant... Trying to post whilst feeding Chloe is a lil distracting :)

Here are the pics:

Mine- gauges are being replaced with a very rare, expensive and no longer available set of 5 very soon :D

[xsjado]

Ghey deal fell through on some Crower cams so now I need to think of something else to spend tax return on :(. Any ideas?

[LilMissMkIII]

I'm getting my interior totally re-done with mine... Damn HECS debt, otherwise I would have had enough for a full rebuild :(

[Xistant]

join me and go n pay tax! :(

[xsjado]

I already had my seats re done and will one day get around to re trimming everything else, methinks its time for a standalone, or maybe a clutch...

[LilMissMkIII]

Did you get the seat covers from the bloke in Melbourne, or did you get them done properly?

[xsjado]

Got them from the guy in Melbourne, I'd say they were done properly enough.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/Xsjdao/IMGP0494.jpg

[LilMissMkIII]

Glad to hear... That's where I'm going to get mine from and was a little concerned about the quality and fitment... As for everything else, I'm getting them done through Empera here on SM (door trims front and rear, console cover, & parking brake) :)

[Xistant]

miss - seats do look good in person, leatherette imo is still fkn vinyl!

[Poodles]

Most people won't notice the difference, but there is one crutial one. Leather if it gets wet doesn't really get slick, while vinyl does.

Leather shiftknob and steering wheel wrap kicks ass because of this.

[Xistant]

leather far to high maintainance and when its clod its cold and when its hot its yeah well sticky!

that being said, i like leather shift knobs and wheels though they wear far too fast.

[Poodles]

Take care of em ;)

Vinyl wears faster in my experience, real leather is used for motorcycle gear because of it's abrasion resistance.

U haven't used it yet :icon_razz

[pato]

agreed!


hey pato so when you ditching the shitty twins ??

about a month or so, just waiting on the dude to get his car resprayed

[Quin]

Those seats look freakin' BAMF

[LilMissMkIII]

The seat covers are pretty bloody cheap too! I think I'll be getting front and rears in the gb for $425AUD...

[Quin]

How much are they normally? I don't have cashola laying around but I'd definitely be interested in a set in the future.

[LilMissMkIII]

Can't remember off the top of my head, but the $425 figure includes both front and rear covers.

[xsjado]

I think in the GB price was $470+25 postage. I got mine for $490 installed along with gear/handbrake boosts and extra material because I supplied the originals.

[LilMissMkIII]

How long did it take them to install? I'm worried it's going to take me ages...

Also, do they usually supply extra material if you pay? I would like to get my daughter's car seat done to match... (Including the same SUPRA logo embroidered)

I had to ask for the extra material, it is usually $40 per sqm though. Not sure how long it took him to install though.

[LilMissMkIII]

Thansk for that, will ask the dude organising the gb to find out a rough estimate for installation :)

[Xistant]

install would be easy, destitching your own would be the mother of pain lol!

[pato]

difff today hopefully :D

cusco 2 way :D good times ahead

[Xistant]

when you pick that up pat?

how are your rear bushes n cradle?

[LilMissMkIII]

Exhaust arrived today!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :boobies::boobies::boobies::boobies::boobies::boobies:

[xsjado]

Picsorban!

Casey is your front bar still EOI?

[LilMissMkIII]

The boy is picking it up from the depot this arvo... Will have pics of it up tonight :D

[Xistant]

glenn - withdrawn bud,

btw leigh finished thetwin headlight conversion, hotness :D

[xsjado]

Bah :(, will need to get pics and prices for the headlight conversion... Anyone buying anything from Driftmotion in the next week? I need to place an order and want to save on shipping :p.

BTW, gastro sucks...

[LilMissMkIII]

^^If I didn't have HECS taken out of my tax, I would be ordering one of DM's turbo kits... Fuck tax :(

[IJ.]

^ Is that some sort of new Tax? ;)
(Fuck Tax)

[LilMissMkIII]

Yes it is :D

[IJ.]

Well there's now evidence that YOU need to pay some ;)

[xsjado]

Its 10pm and I'm still not seeing pics! It's ban time :biglaugh:.

[Xistant]

pics of? :S

[xsjado]

Pics of Kristel's new exhaust... Pics were promised this evening :).

[Xistant]

patiences fool :P

[Xistant]

Hey glenn, reckon u'll be ready for dyno next month?

[xsjado]

Haha I have no idea now... All the chroming has pushed things back by 2 weeks but hopefully everything will be done in time. For now I'm going to say no with a slight chance of maybe :p.

[Xistant]

how much to get cam covers and compressor housing done in black?

[Xistant]

MMM black chrome (shadow) r maybe anondized (sp?)

[xsjado]

Going with the black chrome for coil pack cover. Should break up the rest of the chrome a bit and look really sick. Hopefully RE can get everything ready and once I get the stuff back from chrome its just a matter of dropping the engine and doing the IC and exhaust and get a decent tune :).

[Xistant]

and hoping your clutch holds out :D

[xsjado]

That too, it should last a little while... Who knows with the money left over from the single swap I might grab myself a clutch too :).

Ninja edit: For cam covers I think your looking at around $250 for black chrome, not really sure. No idea on compressor housing, mine was already black :p.

[LilMissMkIII]

Pics of Kristel's new exhaust... Pics were promised this evening :).

Sorry guys, stayed at the work function a lil longer than I intended (free alcohol is very persuasive ;))

Exhaust is still in the back of the Commy all wrapped up... Will be unwrapping my present when I get home tonight :D

[Xistant]

sif leave prezzies for supra untouched for more than 24hrs let alone 2hrs!!


bow your head in shame :P

[LilMissMkIII]

:nono::nono::nono::nono::nono:

^^That ok????

I have the muffler to go with it as well... Got it awhile ago... It's so shiny!!!!!! :love:

[Xistant]

<edit IJ> Enough of that....

[pato]

when you pick that up pat?

how are your rear bushes n cradle?

installed it last night

bushes are fair fucked, but suprisingly the cradle isnt to bad, no cracks that i could see.

as for the actuall diff, unbelievably awsome, its just so controllable its not funny. will bite your head off tho if your not paying attention on roundabouts.

hard on the throttle around a corner, and have shitloads of lift off oversteer is awsome :)

and clunk clunk bang bang etc, on low speed corners is an interesting novelty for now that iam sure ill get sick of soon enough :p

[Xistant]

<edit IJ> Enough of that....


ij can you pm me what was once here, think someone at work typed it.




pato - i find the torsen very snappy, but predictable when its kicked out, though it aint so prediuctable when it wants to kick!

[xsjado]

Quick question, EMS Stinger or Power FC, not taking into account pricing :).

[IJ.]

Look at what each can do and how important the extra functions are to you.

[Xistant]

GO AEM :d

[xsjado]

Comparing specs the EMS Stinger seems to have the edge, but the Power FC is sufficient for what I want. Now lets say one of them cost 10x more then the other...

Why don't you go with the AEM :p.

[IJ.]

If the feature set of the cheaper unit will do what you want why would you pay more for the other?

(I tend to overbudget/overestimate on what I "might" need and so far this works well for me)

[xsjado]

I like be to future proof and the thought of new technology over something a little bit older. Will just have to see how the auction for this Power FC goes now :).

[IJ.]

What all can the FC do?

[fatboy13]

Am i that drunk that I cant understand parts of the last 2 posts...

[Xistant]

U can't understand much anyhow when your not drunk! :P


personally im going back to a emanage ultimate.

[Mk3Les]

I'll be running a Stinger soon :) I checked out my options and a Stinger is really all I need at this stage.

[xsjado]

Looks like that Power FC might be out of the question now... Someone just upped the bid by $600 and it has 2 days to go :(.

[Xistant]

ouchies, think of other ecu's other than the pfc bud. imo it aint the greatest just discontinued :P

[LilMissMkIII]

No pics of exhaust will be up until next weekend... I unwrapped it, and it has quite a bit of surface rust :(

But I really can't complain about the elbow grease needed to get it back to its former shiny glory of 5000km ago when it was made... I only paid $400 :D:D:D:D:D:D

Anyone have any idea on the increase in power I can expect to get from it? (3" from the turbo back on an otherwise 100% stock 7M)

I am hoping to get power runs done on the dyno with each mod done, but would be nice to know what to expect....

[Quin]

A lot.

[LilMissMkIII]

Ummm... No... I highly doubt it will make too much of a difference...

I'm not expecting alot... Was thinking maybe it'll get me an extra 10rwkw but wanted to see what others think it should get me...

[Xistant]

id say 20-30rwkws.

[Poodles]

After replacing my stockish catback with a high flow cat and a 3" exhaust it certainly feels faster.

Gas milage went up as well if that helps.

[Xistant]

pato im on the dyno 9/8 heres to making it haha!

[LilMissMkIII]

^^Believe it when we see it :icon_razz

[HKS_TRD]

pato im on the dyno 9/8 heres to making it haha!

Well atleast you know your alternator wont die ;)

[Xistant]

schweet thats a good sign then :P

[pato]

casey howd u go ??????

ohhh and finally got around to clamping up my bov.
holy crap what a difference, got heaaappps more power, must of had a massive boost leak
so my figure of 251rwhp must of been a fair chunk lower than i should have got.
:)

and my diff.
seriously <3
ahahah, fuckin awsome,
of course i had to get one of these pics in :p

http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa101/pato55555/IMG_0485.jpg

[HKS_TRD]

Nice work there

Must say that turbo kit looks tasty

Mechanical LSDs are fun arent they? I love my Cusco 1.5 way, no more driveline slop like the stock one when getting on and off the throttle and some friendly noises and stuff when it locks up in tight bends.

One morning I went to move my car, had the steering on full lock but the front wheels were on some slippery concrete and the car went dead straight, thats how tight the diff is lol

[pato]

Ahahah yea how good are they. This diffs tight as hell as well :)

I seriously love the looks I get off ppl when turning tightly clunk clunk rattle bang ahahahahaha :D

[Xistant]

pato wtf you mean how'd i go? you seriously whacked :P

first week of next month im on the rollers.

[pato]

Mate I have no idea what thje hell month it is.but iam up to speeed now ahahaahah iam forecasting about 300rwhp ? Sound about right linton with his setup (see above ) made that at 11 psi, your running about that arnt u ?

[Xistant]

run down on lintons setup champ?

[pato]

At the time modified trust mani custom 4"dump gt35r 1.06 ar 440cc injectors. Stock ecu stock tune

[Xistant]

440's, blitz ecu, 3inch dump GT3082R, untuned, 1bar boost, h/d clutch. i hope for around 320-350hp but hey who knows.

[Quin]

Do you have an AFPR? 350 is right into the dead zone on 440s, but if you can bump the fuel pressure up a tad it wont be so bad.

[IJ.]

440's, blitz ecu, 3inch dump GT3082R, untuned, 1bar boost, h/d clutch. i hope for around 320-350hp but hey who knows.

Can't see it making that power at 1 bar on that Turbo.

[upgradedsupra]

Can't see it making that power at 1 bar on that Turbo.

x 2

[HKS_TRD]

Well it probably doesnt help for comparison but my 35R with T-04Z comp wheel makes ~350rwhp at 10psi.

My hi-flowed CT-26 (57mm comp wheel) made ~330rwhp at 20psi.

[IJ.]

You got a chart for that Dan?
(350@10)

[upgradedsupra]

I 2nd that and raise 1. Need a sheet other wise you get the BS flag. ;)

[HKS_TRD]

I 2nd that and raise 1. Need a sheet other wise you get the BS flag. ;)

Lol I'll get that printed out next time I see the tuner for you guys, we did it right after the 400rwkw run. I always wanted to know what the car would do on just the actuator. It made260 something rwkw, I saw it on the screen, the boost plot was dead horizontal to redline at 10psi, the little HKS 40mm gate does its job very well.

[IJ.]

I'm NOT calling BS Dan it's just intersting to see the difference the smaller Hotside makes.

It took me 17psi to make 264 a couple of days ago so something is different here.

http://ij.supramania.com/july15psi.jpg (http://ij.supramania.com/july15psi.jpg)

[Turbo-a]

Well i got my car dynoed yesterday in brisbane!

turbo-a supra, 7mgte
all the usual mods, map-ecu, pressure reg, pump, spearco cooler, etc etc, 60-1 garrett ct-26.

it made 360hp at 14psi with 493nm!
will scan in the dyno sheet, but gets a small knock in it at about 10psi, and gets really bad above 14psi!

engine was detonating eariler! cant seem to find any more info on "turbo-a" ecu's.. dont think it likes to be messed with. it spewed out a couple of error codes, but fixed them.. so rather spend money on a ignition controller im better of going full stand alone i think!!

Then my car wont be original much then :(

[HKS_TRD]

All good I knew you werent, anyone who knows me knows one of my pet hate is BS exaggerated dyno figures.

Wow thats interesting on the power figures, perhaps you being auto makes a big difference? Though my Brothers car with a stock 35R makes 290 odd rwkw at 1.2bar and he runs an MV built auto with high stall and no lock up clutch.

My comp cover would be smaller than yours even though we have the same wheel right?

By seat of the pants it feels right as while it doesnt have the electrifying midrange at 10psi like the CT-26 had at 20 it definately goes harder from 4000rpm up and doesnt drop off at high rpm like the CT-26 does

[IJ.]

Dan: Pretty sure the Comp covers are the same.

I still have some fiddling left to do as I was getting spark blowout on the 17 psi run around torque peak :(

Mine was done on 95 PULP (93 octane)

It really started pumping hard above 18 psi but due to the spark blowout we couldn't run it like that and the usual fix for this condition is to add some timing but that of course rattled the engine so we dropped it back to a safe tune.

Bugger. I'll find out on the comp covers but I was always under the impression that the Z one was larger, which is why I canned any thoughts of going to one and hi-flowed my turbo instead. I only have 5mm clearance between my intercooler top pipe and the comp cover as is and no room to move unless I do custom manifold.

I was using premium unleaded, and octane booster, though, just like on the street, in summer I can run full boost with no booster but in winter it rattles anything above 1 bar, I have been told fuel is seasonal? Its been like this on the standard ecu too. When the Motec first got installed we could run 1.2 bar with straight pump fuel, its all in the luck of the draw when you fill up I find.

For ignition all I have is the original coils, new TRD leads and a bosch 3 channel igniter and thats it. Works a treat so far
I'm confused now, I thought you ran LPG?

[Xistant]

meh im not really good with dyno figures haha!
ill find out next month wooooooooo!

[IJ.]

The LPG while it made great power (410 rwkw on the 3540r) was problematic so I went back to petrol as it's "easier" .

Winter will have denser air so you may have to crank the air temp compensations a little to allow for this?

Yep Octane can vary a LOT from tank to tank.

[IJ.]

meh im not really good with dyno figures haha!
ill find out next month wooooooooo!

It just doesn't flow enough air to make that sort of power at 1 bar :)

Dan: do you have any log files from your dyno time?

Ah OK. I have to go to work now. Maybe next time I am in Melbourne for work we can catch up.

I wouldnt mind a bit of a yarn on MSN some time to compare notes

[Xistant]

man i hate getting mixed info!

[IJ.]

No probs at all I'd like to catch up for a chat!

If you know the duty cycle and injector size I can calculate the HP you made
(mine comes out damn close when you factor in the auto trans)

[upgradedsupra]

You guys and your NM and KW dyno figures :rofl:

































::hang::

[Xistant]

you canadians and your damn wannabe frenchies :P

[pato]

meh im not really good with dyno figures haha!
ill find out next month wooooooooo!

if it doesnt make 300rwhp ill shoot myself,

[upgradedsupra]

Man, every time I come in this area I get dizzy.. everything is upside down




































:biglaugh:


you canadians and your damn wannabe frenchies :P

No idea what that means..is that Aussie talk?

[Xistant]

but in the universe, what is up and what is down? ;) cause theres no bottom nor no top :P

[IJ.]

if it doesnt make 300rwhp ill shoot myself,

Gumby math looking at the Compressor map it "should" be around the 230hp mark.

[Xistant]

if it makes that i'll fuk it all off and sell the whole car haha!

[Mk3Les]

if it makes that i'll fuk it all off and sell the whole car haha!

just put a 7m in it you'll make 350hp easy :evil2:

[Xistant]

just put a 7m in it you'll make 350hp easy :evil2:

i'm sooooo hlding back my comment :P

[Quin]

Fire away, 7M guys have enough torque to get back up after insults knock us over, wtf do you do, roll in the dirt? :rofl:

[Xistant]

I bathe in mud! :d

[Xistant]

and if im rolling around in dirt, wtf is your sig then :P sunrays hehehehe

[Xistant]

damn it need to learn smiley cdes for sarcasim :P

[Quin]

Touche haha

Not me driving, PO, but still :niglaugh:

[Turbo-a]

Haha! les your playing with fire! i would have to agree with you there though!!!

[Mk3Les]

I'm just playing :) I really like 1jz's, if my starter motor ever gives out I'm gonna replace it with 1j ;)

The "J" is for "Janome" ;)

lol

is that an overlocker?

[IJ.]

Nah you need a 2J to run an overlocker the 1J doesn't have the torque ;)

[Mk3Les]

Nah you need a 2J to run an overlocker the 1J doesn't have the torque ;)

LOl :biglaugh:

[Xistant]

yeah well 7ms can't make torque either, sitting on an engine stand just doesnt help :P

[Mk3Les]

yeah well 7ms can't make torque either, sitting on an engine stand just doesnt help :P

Not mine ;)
Just ask the poor guy in a 5.7lt Commodore who tried to show off to his mates tonight, lol

[pato]

now now kiddies,
either way, at least we can agree that the 7m and 1jz are in a damm good car :p

[Mk3Les]

it's all fun and games until someone blows a head gasket :)

Mine runs ;)
(anytime it's failed has been my fault 100% and not the design)

[Xistant]

haha i still love the 1jz / 7m debate.

hey ij, if im to sell my phone would i put it in the sale section or australia?

[IJ.]

Misc for sale would be my guess then I'd put a link in your sig to the post :)

[Xistant]

Ah didn't know if you were allowed to add sale links to sig (can't on sf nor toymods lol!)

[IJ.]

Can't see a problem but I'd PM one of the for-sale mods to be 100% sure if I were you ;)

It's only offensive if you're whoring it in every post you make like some try.

[Xistant]

was looking at the car this morning thinking again should i sell or shouldn't i...

argh!

[Xistant]

haha nah im only on this thread really, sometimes checkin yours out for photos :D

[Xistant]

posted it up see how it goes hehe

[fatboy13]

so its not 4 in a row from KC... and so it doesnt look like hes talking to himself

Anyway,

Took the car out to get noise tested as I got a letter from the DECC. Car was 103db once I had added 2 commodore cats into it, I now have to take it for an emissions test. So a couple more things to fix! Still waiting on the clutch to arrive:(

But the Teins are in and they make a rediculous difference to the bilsteins coilovers I had, Also had to replace the front ball joints as they were FUBAR.

Last thing what bush should I be asking for that goes between the lower rear arm and the hub? As they are whats causing my retarded rear toe issue.

[Xistant]

how retarded is your camber?

[Xistant]

well numbnuts?

[IJ.]

103Db??? :aigo:

Damn I HATED mine at 97Db before I built the new system.

[Xistant]

mines pretty quiet for what it is haha, well thats until gate opens ;)

[pato]

dont sell kkccccccccccccc

[fatboy13]

My camber isnt so bad? why?

And its a shitload quiter than it used to be, so I can only imagine how loud it was!

[Xistant]

nah current state wouldn't get me much, exterior needs some TLC first :)

[Xistant]

My camber isnt so bad? why?

And its a shitload quiter than it used to be, so I can only imagine how loud it was!

what degree is it currently at?

due to my bush seizing best we could get is 8 i think (ill change this when i get my sheet) from 20 lol

[fatboy13]

Camber is at about 2.5 or so IIRC... I dunno the car is sitting in a garage 60km away awaiting my love and attention...

[Xistant]

well mines ok to drive on at 8 .

[pato]

My camber isnt so bad? why?

And its a shitload quiter than it used to be, so I can only imagine how loud it was!

damm, your cars a wisper in comparison to mine,

id hate to see what my reading was

no cat, straight through, with a cheap shitty xforce cannon as its only baffle.

loudness for the win :p

[IJ.]

loudness for the win :p
Right up till ya get EPA'd :(

[Xistant]

noise?

[Quin]

Silly Australians and all your bullshit government monitoring

[IJ.]

I'd still rather live here :icon_razz

[Quin]

Don't worry, we aren't far behind!

[Xistant]

lol ij um... no :P

[fatboy13]

Well mine was the 2.5inch dumps, into 3inch downpipe, no cat, 3inch all the way to a single muffler... so it was probably as loud as or louder than yours pato lol

Now with 2 cats its still freaking loud, so restrictor time, to make it pass EPA and then engineer it all and then piss cops off cos they cant do me for anything:D

[Poodles]

my setup is quiet...

Well, the DDP does leak, and when it opens it's loud as hell, but the rest of the time it's very mellow.

3" DDP, 3" high flow spun metalcore cat, 3" stainless exhaust with a resonator back to a magnaflow muffler. NEVER get second glances from cops now...

[Quin]

Magnaflow here as well, dual 2.5" outs Poodles?

[Poodles]

Yep, modified for a 3" inlet from Raptor Racing. Don't think the guys from down under would like the shipping price on the setup though...

If you do a high speed, high RPM run the exhaust note gets simply amazing sounding too.

[Quin]

Yep! Not sure what you mean by modified, they have off the shelf 3" inlet models...

[pato]

Right up till ya get EPA'd :(
ive got it engineered :)
89db apparently :p ahahah

[Poodles]

not with the tips like mine ;)

[IJ.]

ive got it engineered :)
89db apparently :p ahahah


damm, your cars a wisper in comparison to mine,

id hate to see what my reading was

no cat, straight through, with a cheap shitty xforce cannon as its only baffle.

loudness for the win :p

So which post was BS?

Yep measured at 4200 rpm......

You blast by an EPA inspector at 5500 rpm his meter goes nuts you then have to go and have it retested.....

Massive PITA .

[Xistant]

my engineers cert means shit, yeah its a VACC type but still means nutta.

[pato]

both are true,
except allthough visually the exhaust looks the same its alot different than when it was tested :p

but, to a cop on the side of the road the papers are good enough

moral of the story, dont drive like a wanker in town or anywhere where cops may be lurking.
easy low revs driving = reletively quite car.
relatively :p

[IJ.]

LMAO haven't seen "Papers" help ever in a traffic stop and I've been doing this a long time!

If they want you your gone "Check Incomplete" and you're in for some misery.

[Xistant]

pato - come to vic, u'll find out why we get arseclowned so much lol :P

[IJ.]

Yep these new Hoon laws are a joke, and now they've started this "Dob in a Hoon" BS, talk about open to abuse :nono:

[HKS_TRD]

THe hoon laws main BS component is that it is subjective, if you are speeding, were you speeding, or were you hooning? Probably depends on the mood the police officer was in, or his wife the night before (ie did he get some lol)

Well I just scored a real power adding part on Yahoo Japan :biglaugh::biglaugh:

[Xistant]

hence why my supra gets driven only on the weekends if that :(

thanks to xsjado im gonna install my new rear sunshade :P now i have a sorta wing :P

[IJ.]

Dan: Agreed they need to clearly define what a hoon is.

Recently they nailed a couple of truck drivers that sped through a roadworks zone on Eastlink and impounded the trucks.

Guy's have probably lost their livelihood from this garbage, who the fuck "hoons" in Semi's?

[Xistant]

if you get the full set ill take those front ones off you ;)

[HKS_TRD]

I may sell the front ones that come with the full set as they arent as good as these ones. :nono:

Well the other week I saw a police car put on its lights just to drive through a red light to get to the station which was on the corner of the intersection. Rather hypocritical I thought, atleast if it was to get to a donut stall it would be understandable

haha i ROFLMAO when i heard about that, couldn't believe it but you can when you see semi's speeding up for hills, then doing light speed down the other side.

[Xistant]

either either, keep rob off my back about having mk4 ones :P

[IJ.]

Went for a cruise on Eastlink after the dyno Monday and when we got to the tunnel the "Pushtruck" was mobile and managed to almost cause 2 accidents totally ignoring any and all road rules......

"Official" people don't seem to have to obey laws like us normal people....

[Xistant]

now now IJ. thats called "labelling" don't wannt stoop to their level now ;)

[IJ.]

Had to laugh at all the Camera gantries on the new road and that they have purple lights...... Are they doing a CSI Scan for Semen as you drive under?

[Xistant]

mmmm purple...
makes me tingle everytime i drive under one :D

[smokey]

perhaps its for all the herion addicts to stop them from driving and shooting up at the same time!

[Xistant]

now thats a thoought!!

hey smoke hows the car or don't ask??

hows the reno going?

[IJ.]

"If you drive and mainline at the same time you're a bloody smackie"

New TAC ad ;)

[Xistant]

sif!

TAC do fuck all!

(work for a company that is contracted by TAC) and the amount of delays from tac funding is beyond a joke!

[pato]

LMAO haven't seen "Papers" help ever in a traffic stop and I've been doing this a long time!

meh, well sucks for u then

been pulled over about 5 times in its current trim,
"random breath test"
officer asks if its been engineered.
i reply yes
he looks over the papers and lets me go


5 times this has happened.

so whatever the bullshit u have going in vic,
well then it sucks to be u

but where i am, it works fine, so why would i change anything just cause it fucks u guys over.

[IJ.]

Who said you had to change anything?

[pato]

i dont kno,
iam too sleepy to type.

[IJ.]

Or spell or punctuate? ;)

[Xistant]

its only the interweb guys :D


peace n love n stuff :D

[IJ.]

May only be the interweb but it's NOT myspace or facebook or SMS so putting a little effort in is expected ;).

[Quin]

Jesus Christ, I have no idea what's going on in here anymore. At least half of this page is complete gibberish to me... The fuck is a hoon?

[Xistant]

y.o.u. :P

[Quin]

According to wikipedia, I either just got called a pimp or an irresponsible driver. I take offense to that, I drive my Supra like a grandma! :icon_evil

Because I'm trying not to break something else ='[


EDIT: Wow, read the rest of the wiki, maybe the U.S. isn't too bad just yet! Feel sorry for you lot

[pato]

Or spell or punctuate? ;)

Huh ?
what was wrong with my last post ?
it had both fullstops and comma's :p


I spend tooo long writing essays and lab reports at uni to concentrate on what the hell iam writing here.

[IJ.]

i dont kno,
iam too sleepy to type.

I don't know, I am too sleepy to type ;)

[HKS_TRD]

I don't know, I am too sleepy to type ;)

wot?

[Xistant]

lolz sookies :P

hey updated my ride thread a little better.

enjoy for now.!

[pato]

oh god, heaven forbid i didnt use capitals :o

[IJ.]

LOL this ISN'T going to turn into another SFAU Pato....

I don't think you want that and neither do I.

[Xistant]

i doubt that very much IJ. :P


pato so when you getting the single kit?

[pato]

lol, nah man iam only playin,
just dont rip on my punctuation :p


and casey, when the guy iam buying it off decides to pull his finger out and take the damm thing out of his car.

was over there the other day and he started it up, gave it a bit of a rev, then turned it off.
about 2 mins later he called me over and i could still here the turbo spinning away.

thats a good sign right ?

[IJ.]

Is it a BB Turbo?

If so yeah mine spins down for ages freaked me out the first time it did it I thought I'd left the heater fan on somehow ;)

[Xistant]

hahaha i think it has freaked every first owner out.

first time it spun for ages, prolly around 5-10min mark(still does), i was scared to shit, until i clicked bearings etc.

:D

[HKS_TRD]

Ditto :icon_bigg

After getting the bigger comp wheel put in, it spins for longer I have noticed

On an aside, I am putting a Ride Of The Month Application together as we speak. Fingers crossed

[Xistant]

fingers crossed?...

fag!

you know your ride is worhty

[HKS_TRD]

fingers crossed?...

fag!

you know your ride is worhty

Man theres some pretty awesome cars on this site.

Anyway chop chop I better get on with it. I forget the mods I've got lol

[Xistant]

more than pato and myself put together thats forsure :P

[pato]

forshiznot,
and all jap brand name shit tooo.

ill vote, if thats how this dealy works

[IJ.]

The Mods are the judges ;)

[Xistant]

has an aussie won it ever? (excluding you! you live on the net too much :P)

[IJ.]

Not that I know of.

I don't enter my car's a pig.

[Xistant]

dw mines a pig too, just without the awesome tag like yours :P

[LilMissMkIII]

Would be awesome if an Aussie won ROTM, and even better if it was ROTY!!!!

[Xistant]

hey anyone know off the top of there heads what oil for torsen centers? o0

[Xistant]

lilmiss - couldn't agree more, but i can only really see dan's or (once done) robs supra so far.

[IJ.]

hey anyone know off the top of there heads what oil for torsen centers? o0
Just about any gear oil is fine.

[Xistant]

coolies, jsut hopin that they aint after a specific type :)

[IJ.]

Nah there's nothing "special" inside just gears and bearings.

[Xistant]

and a fragile center :P

[IJ.]

Ran mine hard at 550+ rwhp both manual and auto and the only failure I had was a starved pinion bearing from high speed runs (an LSD suffered the exact same failure) ;)

[Xistant]

ah so you swapped out your clutch pack for a torsen?

[IJ.]

Yep then when I killed the bearing swapped the Clutch diff back in and killed it too ;)

Then went 9".

[Xistant]

haha nice :)

[IJ.]

In my case adding a cooler and pump to the G series would have fixed the issue as well but I always wanted an IRS 9" :) (it has the cooler and pump)

[Xistant]

what ratio you using atm?

and where were these "high speed" runs done ;)

[IJ.]

3.5:1 at the mo

ALL my top end runs are done on a closed test track ;)

[Xistant]

ahah of course of course ;)

what was your top speed?

[IJ.]

I was doing roll ons from 220 Kmh up to 255 then repeat.

[Xistant]

ah kk,

255 backing off due to track or limit?

was this with the auto ? or what gear?

soz, top speed is my aim with track as the main forte.

[IJ.]

With the gearing I was running then it was only turning high 5000's (motor would rev to 8300 easily)

There was no real limiting factor I was just playing around as I've never had a car that would accelerate that hard at the top end.

1st few times was with the Tremec TKO 5 speed then with the built a340e.

[Xistant]

AH I SEE.....


yeah 1jz r154 and 3.9 diff HERE.

would like 3.2 or a stupid ratio like that of the bmw's (2.6 - 2.8 IIRC)

[IJ.]

For really high road speeds your combination is in the danger zone.

Low Diff gears high OD % and a motor that will rev lands you a possible starved pinion bearing and at speed it only takes seconds to become square.

If you're serious about going fast I'd look at plumbing a pump and cooler into the diff with the return being between the pinion bearings.

[Xistant]

have been looking at pumps / coolers, would running lines up to the front to place a pump and cooler be a waste of time or stor it all up next to the fuel filter?

[IJ.]

I have mine mounted in front of the fuel tank.

I use a VDO Pump designed for BMW gearboxes and a temp switch in the diff case to turn it on/off.

[Xistant]

PIC :D PLZ!!

hows yours mounted though vertical or horizontal??

[IJ.]

Pump is mounted to the Diff cradle and the Cooler is bolted to the Tow Hitch.

There should be a couple of pics in my pics thread.

[Xistant]

I'll have a looky tonight, i think i have a rough picture / idea in my head. though i don't like pump mounted to diff. i'll prolly mount mine next to the drivers side chassis rail.

[Xistant]

so quiet today...

*yawn*

wheres fathead when he needs ya lol! :P

[Quin]

Maybe you should have kept the 7M, you'd be busy on the weekends too :rofl:

The Bee*R rev limit doohickey you have, does the first knob let you set another rev limiter independent of the ecu? Meaning, could you use it to raise the rev limiter on a stock ecu? Second one is for launches, right? Triggered via a switch or a push button I'm guessing?

[Xistant]

first is your new limiter UNDER your ecu limiter,

example
if ecu is 7000rpm
then bee*r is 6500rpm / 7000rpm

[fatboy13]

Im right here, still recovering from my 21st on sat night lol...

I chucked the foglights in this morning, and balljoints were changed:D Just waiting on a clutch and my diff.... KC!!:P

[Xistant]

speak to leigh about diff slut :P

hes the one who wants the housing lol!

[fatboy13]

PM me his number again i lost it lol
