  2. Hey mate, you only have a limited time to edit after posted, too late now!
  3. Thanks scotty!
  4. Haven't asked Mick what it ran originally, I am not even sure he did a standard run, will find out.
  5. I will probably head up the seat too Rocky. It is not in the cruise as alot of people don't like the switchbacks on the way up, worth it for the view though!

    Nice bomber, powdercoat it! You know you want to!
  8. New technology has made a lot of people think twice about an old fuel Trent! Thanks mate!
  9. Dunno about famous mate! Haha, was good to meet you, will have to get you out on some more cruises! Very happy with the sound mate, just makes me want to keep mashing the pedal!
  10. yeah we can't have lads from ballarat coming down in their 300zx's and sh*t!
  11. Thanks Mark and Craig! Already recording distance, litres, cents per litre and averages for each fill!

  13. haha thanks jd, its good fun! I was doing alright considering I don't have a traditional dose pipe!
  14. yeah I know, there will be a time when they are used against people though
  15. Worries me a little et that vids of what happens on the hwy could make it to youtube, aca, etc. New plates? lol and pazzo, you better take her out for a nice meal first!
  16. Its more what they save you than what they cost you Pete. $1000 worth of surge tank could be the difference between you blowing your engine or not, and we all know that gets very expensive. I think the price is high too, but it is all relative. IF you have spent $10000 on your car to get it to XXXkw what is another $1000 for piece of mind?
  17. I think I burnt all my points with the missus when I got home at 5 this morning!
  18. Nice mate, feels very strong, gave it a bit of a hiding last night and it held up very well. Found out it definitely has an LSD! I had a BA with 269 @ 13psi and this thing is so much more refined compared to that, just solid pulling power, which I put down to Mick striving for perfection on the dyno. The little turbo is great too, kept me up with a few of the b series guys in the early 300's
  19. Hi Guys, After 2 weeks of suspense I picked my car up from Pitlane yesterday. Firstly Mick, Bel, Ben, Luke, Thankyou! I know this car gave you some headaches Mick and I know you were happy to see the back of it, but I cannot praise your attention to detail and quality work enough. One piece of advice I can give everyone. Read the forums, gather all of the info you require, formulate a plan of what you ultimately want to achieve, and then work out if you want to do it in stages or one hit. Now this is the important part – When you go and see a tuner LISTEN to what they have to say! These guys do this day in day out and know what is and isn’t achievable and the good ones are happy to tell you when your expectations are unrealistic. Working with your tuner is the best way to get a result you are both happy with. I know early on I was talking big numbers but the reality is the expectation was unrealistic, and when we set a goal of 270-280 we were all on the right track! Now on to the car! You can read through the back story earlier in the thread, but I dropped my car off at Pitlane for JTG Gas Injection, a 5” Outlaw cat, and a Custom Tune. After some up’s and downs and some sleepless night for Mick (and me!) We got the result we were after with a final tune of 269rwkw @ 12psi. Awesome result for less than 60 cents a litre! Since picking it up at around 9am yesterday I have clocked up over 700km’s! I had to go to Bairnsdale and back straight after picking it up and then went out for a look around the HWY last night. The road manners of this car are impeccable, and you would not even know you were running on gas once you finish the startup system purge. I have put gas in 3 times now, and the fuel economy each time is as follows: 1. 13.68L/100km – After I picked it up, gave it a bit of a squirt then cruising at 100/110 for a couple of hours 2. 12.58L/100km – All 100/110 cruising, barely any on boost driving 3. 17.52L/100km – Driving to and from the Princess last night, lots of hard and fast. I will keep a track of economy as I go, obviously as I do more driving I will get some more accurate averages. Once again, thankyou Pitlane, and here are a few crappy pics of the dyno sheet, gas tank, pretty new red LPG plates, fuel gauge, and the injectors, etc in the engine bay.
  20. come on man, I got some catching up to do! I haven't got to a 10th of your posts yet! and I joined before you! maybe I just don't talk as much sh*t...?
