The four , six and rotary nationals are coming up on the 14th feb, at A.I.R.....anyone going? or more importantly....anyone entering their cars?

i'll be there as a spectator

yeh ill be there spectating aswell.

If I have a VLT by then (fingers crossed ) I wouldn't mind bringing it down for a run. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i thought about entering my car in the drags, but dont know if it'll be ready in time......bloody missus is on my back about it being valentines day too!!

I'll hopefully be racing.Will be trying to better my 11.5 which i ran a couple of meets back,with a slipping auto.New Trimatic going in this week with 3500rpm stall, and stage 2 JPC cam being fiitted just before the nationals. These mods should see the car making just over 300rwkw, and be cracking into the 10's. Time will tell, but 99.9% sure i'll be racing. PSI.

got a photo of ur car? i'll keep any eye out for you

Not on hand, but can organise to get some. Car is, white/silver calais turbo, wearing genuine silver 18" WH Grange wheels. Will try and have them up shortly. PSI.

sounds pretty nice to me. be good to see some fast turbos in SA I might make it down to watch, if the woman lets me :|

I almost fell over this time, the other half said"I'll come out and see if you can run a 10, might bring you luck".(HOPE SO!! ) Like you said, not many quick vlt's in S.A, so i hope to be S.A's 1st vl turbo in the 10's without NOS.S.A's quickest and only 10 second VLT is 10.3(with NOS) Time will tell. Definately one event not to be missed, it's a chance to see the big boys run huge numbers.Seeing a VLT in the flesh run 8's and 9's is amazing.The sound,the wheel stand launches, giving me goose bumps thinking about it!1 Hope to see you there mate.

Had it on the dyno or run it down the 1/4? Speak soon, PSI. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You boys should come on the cruise we're having soon (australia day long weekend). Would love to see your cars, they both sound insane! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

PSI: im a bit behind you at the moment, but mine is bored 40 thou, forged pistons, gapless rings, aftermarket cam, ext. ported head, haltech, FMIC, catch can, bosch 600 fuel pump, standard turbo and injectors (not 4 long), strengthened jatco. Previous owner ran 12.7, with this setup....With 3.08 singler spinner diff, street tyres. He had the boost wound up a bit, but he tamed it back down to 8psi before i bought it so i didnt wrap it round a tree whilst still getting used to it! Recent service and dyno tune....165rwkw @ 8psi im planning on booking my car in in the next couple weeks for the next round of mods.... Gt35/40, hi mount extractors, 550cc injectors, ext. gate. Ive got everything sitting in my bedroom apart from the turbo! where do you get all your work done? i thought about RPM performance, tilbrooks or ASE? Platinum: Wheres this cruise kick off from? where to?

It's nothing too serious heh, there are handful of us 'regulars' who always rock up, generally meet at bunnings mile end, bull**** for a while and then head off for bit of a drive and a BBQ or something. Even if people don't actually want to go for a drive still rock up for a chat. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Platinum: Wheres this cruise kick off from? where to? Sounds pretty good to me!! Get an LSD, with 3.7 or 3.9's and she'll be in the low 12's easy.Who made your manifold?? Are you going to go for the .82 exhaust housing or the 1.06? I've got the .82 GT30(600hp rated) ASE done all my manifolds.Big plenum, high mount manifold.He's not cheap, but quality work. Never dealt with RPM, tilbrooks do good work.The turbo your looking at will be about $2,300 from memory.Get a quote from ASE and Tilbrooks,see whose cheaper, both do qualty work.ASE always take longer than what they say the job will take,trust me. Speak soon, Might come along to the cruise, see if i'm free at the time. Not sure if i've got plans lined up for the long weekend yet. PSI

PSI : Lsd's coming soon too. Bought my manifold from jet6 for $600. Im gonna go the .82, as it'll be mainly street driven with ocasional visits to the drags. Got a quote from ASE, they wanted $4700 to fit all my gear plus supple and fit the turbo and lines. Whereas RPM want about $3300. ($2190 4 the turbo) They want the car for a week. wouldnt mind pricing tilbrooks, but somethings wrong with their email setup, i cant email them. RPM do qual work too, they used to do all the work in the 'crazy convesion' section in hot 4's mag. how are those pics coming along? wouldnt mind seeing ur engine bay too!

Yeah I tried to contact tilbrooks the other day - still havn't answered. Think I will also be taking it to RPM (andre mentioned them before, and they sound like the place to go). Just getting some intercooler piping done (and i/c fitted). Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice one bro,You'll be cranking shortly. .82 hsg is the way to go,perfect street/strip combo.It's capable of 600hp, thats plenty i think. I knew ASE would be a heaps dearer.I've had my stuff for a while now,before he moved to Edwardstown.His prices have gone thru the roof now.Bigger overheads now, he's got a few guys working for him now. RPM do quality work too.They built that 2JZ yellow supra,plates (I8A4RE)runs 10.8.RPM wont stuff you around as much either.My car was in there for a month when he did mine.But looks killer, so can't complain.I think RPM would be a lot cheaper than Tilbrooks too. Will get pics for you of car an engine bay once i get it back,Trimatis still getting built.Probable be late next week. Will let you know when i do tho. p.s, i can give you the name of another guy you might want to try.He does awesome work too, seen some killer examples.He owns a killer TE/TG Gem with a 350 in it.Runs 10's.Professional setup from his own home.Top bloke, charges about $30 per hour, thats almost half of anywhere else.Does all metal fabrication work, worth checking out, even if you go and see him yourself, see the kind of stuff he can do.I'll be seeing him myself shortly, he's as good as anyone out there. Let me know, Adam -PSI-

cheers mate, pm me his details!
