  1. That's not ideal. I luckily avoided a crash yesterday. Had a rain shower and someone must have leaked a bunch of oil or diesel on the road at a particular intersection. It was like ice, and a whole bunch of people ended up crashing into each other. So glad nobody ploughed into me. Sorry to hear you weren't so lucky
  2. Nothing much to report. How are things in Keef-land?
  3. Morning mate, top of the day to you
  4. Twin pierburg surge tank. I think the injectors are raceworks 1500/1650cc
  5. I'll be curious to see what it makes, but to be honest, I'm far more concerned with how it drives, how it comes on, and how reliable it is. So always happy to throw it on the roller haha
  6. Ok, since it's so quiet on here, I thought I'd give a bit of an update on what's happening. I sent the car away last year to have a Nexus R5 installed, and a new motorsport loom done up. The plan was to get that up and running on the existing setup, with a bit of a check over to ensure everything is healthy. Turns out things weren't as I'd hoped, so I've ended up with a new engine build, including a Nitto billet crank. The G35-900 had cooked bearings and a bent shaft, so I'm actually throwing a G35-1050 in there because I'm curious whether there will be much of a spool difference. And it maintains current pipework. I'd like to try the new G35-990 (G series 2), but Garrett haven't released it yet. While the engine was out, the engine bay was fully prepped and repainted. It's not showcar spec, but it's close, especially with the new wiring loom. Getting a bunch of heat shielding done so nothing melts. I'll of course get pics when it's all done. I'd say it'll be tuned in the next 4 weeks. The only thing limiting the turbo will be back pressure and the 1650cc injectors.
  7. Good call on working through. This time of year is the worst to take off. Few things open, and thousands of other people competing for space at beaches, camp sites etc
  8. Back at work mate. Hopefully my car rebuild is finished before the middle of 25!
  9. I would have thought the 1.15 would be lazy. Very safe choice for 400kw, but no way it'll be snappy
  10. Something like this https://www.maxxperformance.com.au/kpm-intank-unit
  11. No issues with mine, but I think there are probably some better in tank options these days. If I were doing a fuel system again I'd look at newer technology
