  1. I've got Zestino Gredge 07RS 140TW. 245 fronts, 285 rears. They get my 800whp down sometimes, but being 140TW the wear is savage. I think I'll try PS4 S next. Better treadwear
  2. Nice man. So with my G35-900, I started with the 1.01 housing, then went up to the 1.21. It came on way earlier and made heaps more power with the 1.21. Open vband housing, but I still think your split housing is too small. Barras need exhaust flow
  3. I reckon it will drive nicer with the smaller turbo
  4. Sounds like the missus is supportive. Winner. I don't know if you've ever mentioned, but are you a mechanic by trade? Or do you just do this for fun?
  5. Looking good man. Super keen to see how the twin scroll setup goes.
  6. Nice man. I've always wanted to go twin scroll on a Barra. Interested to see how you go with the 0.85, it might be too small. And how you do boost control with the single gate. Are you just going to run a divider?
  7. So you've been hitting limiter without a tune? Checks out

    I'm exactly the same as you. I'm just going through the process of tidying my engine bay. Nexus R5 and new wiring loom etc...

    Super tidy engine bay. Love it
  10. It's not uncommon for PCMs to fail in these cars as they age
  11. Hey is there much difference between the turbo and NA ZF gearbox? Hopefully the tick is a simple fix...
  12. Nice one man, I've thought about doing this to an na AWD Territory. Cool project
  13. 20W60 is too thick for a stock engine, but when clearances are opened up a bit it works well
  14. Good outcome mate. Exact experience I had going from 10W40 to 20W60. I even found the 15W50 Penrite 10 tenths not quite enough. Do you roll around on the road at 1000hp all the time?
  15. All the best with it mate! I anticipate you'll come back to an FG one day...
  16. ZF is a much better gearbox. Most guys end up with a T400 or Powerglide for big power. I guess all I meant was, you'd have to compare pretty closely the value of a built btr vs a ZF
  17. Man, Go with whatever the place you're tuning with recommend. So many varying opinions. If it were me: - 460 fuel pump. Add drop in GFB fuel pressure reg - no bov - wouldn't waste money on btr. Just accept limitations, and upgrade to something else if you're going to build a transmission - suspension bushes, shocks, ball joints etc - brakes. 4 piston Brembo front, PBR rear is best value
  18. Yes mate. Night and day with built motor. Savage down low, and made over 600rwkw
  19. You say that... But trying to find someone in Sydney who isn't sh*t and overpriced is a challenge...
