Ah so you are the person that brought it!! Had the pleasure of detailing it just before you picked it up.

Congratulations!! Insane car with an insane amount of quality gear.

[Marti]

Good buy, planning anything for it ?

[Cochee]

Good to see a build thread straight away.
I thought you said around 600hp? 683 makes it even more awesome.

[bettsc]

Ya, it is me. Where abouts do you live mate, and would you still be interested in detailing it every once in a while for me? I am in the hills at the moment, and am looking for someone to help me keep it looking it's best.


Good buy, planning anything for it ?

Thanks mate. Yea at the moment I'm contemplating buying a set of HKS coilovers off J3rk, the previous owner. They would be more suited to track work, so it would be nice to swap them in and out with the drag coilovers if I want to do track work or tear up the quarter mile. Other than that, just little things like replace the brake pads and disks, and maybe new rear tyres soon. I really just want to go out and drive it more than anything else though.

[Torquen]

Yes Caillim :D So stoked you bought this! Keen for a ride, and runs (I'm gunna get hosed) when you're home next.

[bettsc]

Yea I wanted to get a thread up as soon as possible. I don't remember saying 600, but if you say so! It's definitely 683, but sometimes I even claim 700 haha.

[bettsc]

Hell yea man, I'm looking forward to seeing this s13 in action too!

[laju]

Good buy mate.

[Gurney]

Heard this thing boost outside of Carousel hard (then get pulled over lol), sounded awesome.

No issues at all, shoot me a PM with the specifics and we can go from there!

Had the pleasure of being in this beast as soon as it landed off the boat. Absolute handful!!

[Skitzo]

Have whimpered like a little girl after a thrash in this a couple of times.

Awesome piece of machinery.

[180SXTCY]

awesome rig! remember seeing this leave a mates party its a complete animal haha.

[Gladio]

Definatly a nice ride mate grats.

Ah cool, yea thats pretty close, I might see you around!


im up in roleystone area! hills represent. ps mitch seen ur car today looks sweet

I hope you didn't see my car! I'm away at work at the moment, and the car should be tucked away at home haha. Another supra with the same kit perhaps?

[180SXTCY]

nah mate didnt see it haha all good (: just saying there is a few people up in the hills now all with nice imports :P

[Yakky Bear]

was going to buy this in a few months if paul still had it... sooo jelly! its a bombed car.. enjoy it dude!

[bettsc]

Ah sorry I beat you to it, cheers mate.

[bettsc]

As some of you may have seen, I had a few runs at Whoop Ass Wednesday last week, and failed miserably. I was missing gears left right and centre and managed a best time of 13.9 hahaha. I have been driving it heaps since and am heading down in a couple of weeks to give it another crack, and hopefully run an 11 sec pass.

Gave it a wash today, and now she's all tucked away under the car cover until I get back from work.

[350z tt]

Interested to see where how you go with the AD08's. I'm looking at fitting some soon. Where did you source them from in the end? Local prices are a killer!

[esky]

If your want to run a decent time at the drags you'll need some drag radials.

[AGIT8D]

What mph did you run?

[bettsc]

Interested to see where how you go with the AD08's. I'm looking at fitting some soon. Where did you source them from in the end? Local prices are a killer!

Yea local prices are shithouse. I bought them from tirerack.com, it's an american site. Including shipping and import costs, they worked out $400 cheaper than if I had bought them in Aus.


If your want to run a decent time at the drags you'll need some drag radials.

Yea, I'll probably end up going down that road eventually. Just keen to see what it can do with street tyres for the moment.


What mph did you run?

Around 114mph I think , but it would have been higher if my shifting was better.

[Turbo2.6L]

If you run an 11 or 120mph(ish), you'll be banned until you meet S/ST regs. Might as well slap drag radials on straight up as it should run those numbers easily with 700hp.

[bettsc]

Yea I know. As far as I am aware all I need is a super street licence to run under 12.00, which can be bought from the motorplex anyway.

[esky]

harness, tailshaft loop, license.

[bettsc]

Ah fair enough. Something to work towards then.

[Turbo2.6L]

Approved 4point Harness, TS loop, Battery Isolation Switch, Approved Full Face Helmet, ANDRA License.
Lot of cash/dicking around for a car that will barely see the track, so just do it on drag radials to begin with imo.

[180SXTCY]

with 700 ponies i would have though this would of been a 10 second rig?

[SSICK]

dont doubt that.......driver skill plays a big part. i found that out.

[AGIT8D]

with 700 ponies i would have though this would of been a 10 second rig?

it might run the mph but getting 700 ponies to the ground becomes the tricky factor for 1/4 ET's.

[1JZNOSHIT]

Supras do not put power down very well at all, hense why they all seem to run 12.9 @ 130mph :D

[Turbo2.6L]

or 13.9 @ 114 :p

[Skitzo]

Could also do with 10.5/11" rims on the back.

[Turbo2.6L]

9.5's are fine with a 265 drag radial. Does it still have the HKS drag suspension in it?

[j3rk]

Unlucky with the time mate. Look forward to seeing this get banned like it always should have been.

Did you run on AD08's? Were great tires last time I used them.
The HKS drag suspension means unless you want to this supra hook's up really well... even with the near on 700.
Still miss the obnoxiously loud and angry nature of this thing! Gated everyone you know yet?

[esky]

hooiser drag radials, wind the coilovers up so the car can squat, go nuts.

[SSICK]

need a like button for most of eskys posts.

[urabus]

If you are going to leave it parked up while you are away on work get a C-Tek trickle charger for the battery. Not particularly expensive and you wont come home to a flat battery.

Brendon

Yea. Practice will make perfect though.

Yep still got the HKS coilovers, as Paul said for a car that puts down 700hp it does hook up really well, except for first and second gears haha.

Nah haven't put the ad08's on yet, waiting to wear the Kumho's out first. Fuck yea, have gated heaps of people, including myself! One mate was still having ear pain 2 days later :)

Not to worry about the battery mate, I disconnect it while I'm away.

[Cochee]

Keen to come down to the plex if we can line up R&Rs i'd be happy to drive it for you to show you how to shift properly :)

[bettsc]

Thanks for the offer mate. Didn't you consistently miss 3rd last time you went down? Hmmm........

[esky]

Not to worry about the battery mate, I disconnect it while I'm away.

if your away for long periods, the trickle charger might be a better option.

computers will reset to the default map if they have no power for an extended period.

[bettsc]

How long are we talking about? The battery is disconnected for 2 weeks, and I haven't had any problems so far.

[mys1]

Buy a trickle charger - its better for the battery as well!

[Joe]

Autopro Innaloo sell Haigh BatteryLink chargers.

Same price as ctek, way more features (including trickle)

Will look into it next time I'm in town. Cheers

[bettsc]

Went to the Jacks Hill Climb with NoLimits Car Club last sunday and had a wicked time. The supra wasn't really suited to such a tight and technical track, because of the massive turbo lag, so I stopped worrying about getting a good time and just enjoyed thrashing the car.

[j3rk]

I had forgotten how awesome this car sounds :(... seems like you've got used to how she moves around too. Very nice mate!

[TheChad]

thats awesome!

do you a have "low" boost setting that means you dont have to worry about almost 700hp hitting you as you are trying to navigate bends?

[bettsc]

haha looks like fun!

Just a GoPro mate, the new HERO 2 model. Really happy with how easy they are to use, and the price.

Yea man, all sweet with the car now. I've come a long way since that first test drive haha!

Cheers mate. Nope, no low boost setting. It's 680hp all the way, makes it more fun.

[stumps.]

some interesting push pull going on with the steering wheel but looks fun and sounds mint

[Halle Terry]

Looks like you had a blast dude :)

[GTO Assassin]

Very very nice. It must be hard to wipe the smile of your dial hearing that thing roar when you want it to.

Scotty

[Madhav]

Sounds absolutely awesome!!

Did you end up putting on the new Tyres and hitting the 1/4 mile?

I had serious problems with traction on my car with those KU31's, fuck knows how you manage to drive yours at all.... I put federal 595's and it made a HUGE difference.

[TheChad]

Cheers mate. Nope, no low boost setting. It's 680hp all the way, makes it more fun.

lol no boost toggle, just extra room in the seat for your massive testicles!

seeing "drag" setup cars do "track" stuff and vice-versa always makes great viewing.

Yea got the AD08's on the rear now, but haven't had a chance to get back to the 1/4 yet. They are much better than the Ecsta STP's I had previously. Do you have the 595RSR? I can get a cheap pair and am wondering if they will be any good??

Yeah I have the RSR's, 265/35/18 and in comparison to the KU 31's there is a big difference. I used to have to really feather the throttle in 2nd and even 3rd gear, as I would go sideways at anything over half throttle, now it hooks quite well.

Got them from here for a decent price: http://www.option1garage.com.au/NewTyres.htm

[bettsc]

Sweet, I'll probably get a pair when I wear out the AD08's. Shit that's cheap, I could get them for $300 a tyre and I thought that was pretty cheap. Cheers for the link.

[j3rk]

IMO, run cheap tires on the street. It's more fun to fry them and you don't feel so bad about it.
Now that your used to the car you'll learn that there's nothing more fun then painting 80-140+ or watching people's expression as you start painting from 100 on the freeway.

Else keep the AD08's all day every day, they're hard enough to last ages whilst still having bullsh*t amounts of grip.
I tried a few tires and nothing compared to the AD08's for performance/longevity. JME told me this, I passed on said knowledge!

[Turbo2.6L]

Toyo R1R's for a good all-rounder that wont hurt the wallet. Ran 11.3 at the drags on them, 58's round barbs with them & hosed many a car on the street with them when i had my F6. Have same tyres on the GTR now & both cars ran 265/35r18 as per the poopra, at around $300 per corner locally.

Dunlop Direzza Z1 Starspecs are also a good option. They offer a bit more grip then AD08's and seem to last a little longer in wear. I paid 994 for 4 from TireRack in 215/40R17

Advan AD08 are more gripper than the Z1

$1100 landed for AD08 in 255/40/R17

[JME]

Such a great car, fantastic seeing it being used appropriately. Is it still running the drag coilovers?

Yea I think I'll stick with the AD08's. They still spin in 3rd and second, but they keep the car tracking straight when they do, unlike the Kumhos, which just threw the back around violently. Did you ever brake boost the supra Paul? That's a damn good way to lay big strips with the AD08's :)

They are pretty cheap compared to the AD08. Might check them out if I decide later down the track to go with something different. The only gripe with the AD08 is they don't come any wider than 265. Would really like to stick some 285's under there.


Such a great car, fantastic seeing it being used appropriately. Is it still running the drag coilovers?

Thanks Jamie, yea it's still running the HKS drag setup. They are starting to leak now though, so I'm looking for something else. Was talking to Fetish about them the other day and will probably end up running the same coilovers as his red supra. Can't for the life of me remember what they are called but he spoke very highly of them.

[bettsc]

Forgot to put these pics up.
Spent all day friday working on the soup. Spent 4 hours raising the coilovers up a bit, installed a fire extinguisher, and got a wheel alignment in preparation for the hill climb on sunday. On the drive home friday night it starts cutting out mid-boost, and fuel pressure dropped. Got home and found the feeds for the fuel pumps had shat themselves.

Mad rush down to auto1 on saturday and rewired the feeds with thicker gauge wire and upgraded fuse holders. It's funny how things tend to go wrong at the worst possible time.

Thanks dude, we need to go for a cruise together or something. I want to see this new ride of yours.

[Torquen]

This new ride of mine is still not running :p , but yeah as soon as she is, keen (to get dished massive chop! lol).

[bettsc]

Went down to Kwinana Motorplex last night and managed to get 5 runs. First two I dropped the clutch off the line and just had diff hop all through first, managed a 13.2 and a 13.1. Then dropped the tyre pressures down, slipped the clutch off the line and ran a 12.21, then a 12.11, and finally a 12.01. I reckon I could have got an 11 sec pass but after the last run oil pressure started to drop so I called it a night. By the time I got home it had developed a pretty bad rattle from the engine, could possibly be the big end bearing or the mains bearing. Not good news! Anyway here is a pic of the timeslip.

http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww19/caillim/Supra/Quartermile1201.jpg

[Turbo2.6L]

If your want to run a decent time at the drags you'll need some drag radials.

What happened to the drag radials??


Not good news on the rattle mate... Give you $10k for it as is :p

[TJ]

Fark no good.

[j3rk]

I hope for you and the cars sake that it's nothing...

Decent times though.

[Turbo2.6L]

What mph did you run?
Would have to be one of the quickest times laid down in a Supra over here wouldn't it?? Haha

[-Luke-]

Give you $10k for it as is :p

Haven't got around to getting radials yet, just ran with the AD08's. I'll keep your lowball offer in mind haha.

Cheers dude. Will have to wait a couple of weeks for Zack to inspect it because he is so busy at the moment.


What mph did you run?

As it says in the picture, 130mph.

[Turbo2.6L]

Can't view certain pics at work... Didn't even know there was one posted! Haha
Decent mph there. With drag radials a 10 is there for the taking.

[SimonR32]

1000hp turbo-ed supra runs a 13.1 @ 130mph

Talk about stereotypes :)

[Brockas]

300rwhp supra - 12's.
650rwhp supra - 12's.

So accurate!

130mph is 10-sec territory in a GT-R, so with some traction (and anything faster than the lol-worthy 2.1 60' time) it should get there.


Low oil pressure, followed by knocking sound, big end bearings GONE. No good :(

Get it towed to a workshop, throw a set of shells in it, machine the crank, good to go.

[Skitzo]

1000hp turbo-ed supra runs a 12.1 @ 130mph

Talk about stereotypes :)

Fixed. Clearly your ability to read is lacking. Stupid Nissan owner :P

[Turbo2.6L]

125mph would go a high 10 in a GTR Brockas. I managed an 11.2 @ 125 with a dismal sixty footer due to bad car prep, but a better launch would have seen 10.9X quite easily.
Same goes for this as they're similar weighted aren't they? Drag radials & a sub 1.7 sixty footer will be anywhere between 10.5 & 10.99...

[Brockas]

125mph would go a high 10 in a GTR Brockas. I managed an 11.2 @ 125 with a dismal sixty footer due to bad car prep, but a better launch would have seen 10.9X quite easily.

Slowest MPH I've seen a GT-R do a 10 in is 127 IIRC, and that was Bobbo's that had a dogbox, so minimal lost between gear changes.

Natalotto needed 131mph to do 10.91 with a stock box.

10's might be possible from 125mph, but it'd have to be a bloody perfect run.

[stumps.]

Not sure why you drove it home with low oil pressure?

[Daisy]

^i was thinking that.

[bettsc]

Get it towed to a workshop, throw a set of shells in it, machine the crank, bigger injectors, tune to suit e85, 800rwhp, good to go.

Fixed that for you

[Brockas]

So it can run a higher-mph 12?

lol

[Daisy]

i dont think lack of power is your problem at the moment. i would focus on the driving part.

[Turbo2.6L]

Setup is what it is lacking. Proper tyres & softer suspension settings will see this where it needs to be...

I'll have another crack in a few weeks if it isn't broken!

[esky]

suspension, tyres & driving.

You already got the power to run a low 10@135mph +

[Torquen]

Also agree that no more power is needed. There's easily a 10 in there with the right setup... more power is just going to make it harder to launch/drive well.

As I said to you the other night Caillim E85 is now $3.50/L coupled with the reduced km's you get per tank = expensive (for not a lot of gain).

On a positive note, great MPH and 12.1 still isn't too bad for street tyres and a manual.

[Turbo2.6L]

There's massive gains to be had & at $3.50/L it's a cheap way to increase HP. It simply is not needed though...

[bettsc]

I'm not really that bothered with making it into a drag car anyway. Would be much happier keeping it as an all rounder. I won't spend much money trying to make it go fast on the 1/4 mile, rather I'm keen to do more track days and see how it goes around barbs with some decent coilovers. I have been planning to run e85 anyway, just not this soon, so I might have to think about it for a while longer.

[Daisy]

dont know where your buying your E85 from, but your getting robbed.

[Torquen]

Sorry Dean, let me rephrase that: Not a lot of beneficial gain.

Obviously there are power gains to be had going E85.

[Torquen]

dont know where your buying your E85 from, but your getting robbed.

Ross, how much do you pay /L?

[Azrian]

There is no easy 10 if your doing 12s now. lol at some of the comments on here.

[Turbo2.6L]

Jack car up, fit drag radials, smash limiter, sidestep clutch. Doesn't get much easier?

[bettsc]

You forgot to mention snap driveshaft.

[Rhys]

that will be fine, gearbox is what i would be worried about

[Daisy]

Ross, how much do you pay /L?

it used to be $550 a drum

its now $615 a drum @ 200 litres = $3.07/l.

where have you been getting it from at $3.50?

[j3rk]

Rhys, I'd put money on the tailshaft going well before the box... those 3 bolts holding it on probably wouldn't like 650hp + full traction.

Cal, also realize that the Haltech has various launch control options / Antilag options for boost off the line if your that way inclined.

I was buying it by the L (fill up jerry can/car), not the drum.

I new I was paying more (told upfront), but it was convenient as I didn't have to store a drum anywhere (didn't have the space/appropriate safety requirements to not void insurance).

Come to Ross's. you can buy it for $3.50 all day long

[Turbo2.6L]

$3.50 is from XFT i believe. Remember Ben getting some a while back...
There is next to no chance of a Getrag breaking at the strip if it goes occasionally. Plenty of 7/8 second supras in the states still running factory box & launching stupid hard in comparison to what this would do.

[bettsc]

Nah the gearbox will handle hard launches at 680hp, but like J3rk said the tailshaft won't enjoy it for long.

Ah I didn't know the haltech had those options. What sort of options are you talking about? Eg, how does it help you launch?

stock box not as strong you may think. I managed to bust one and that was with 370 rwhp

[Turbo2.6L]

Possibly a lemon. Checkout all the vids on youtube of the spastic US spec supras raping their boxes pass after pass.

It's classed as an explosive and you're 'meant' to have certain storage requirements. It's not my house, otherwise I wouldn't care.

Toyota owners obviously can't read good!

LOL. Fail again young Simon. He never mentioned a trap speed with the 13s passes. Just posted the times.

Therefore you cannot make the following comment


1000hp turbo-ed supra runs a 13.1 @ 130mph



You mentioned a trap speed, and only time that was posted with the trap speed was the 12.1 :D

Depending how you set it up you could essentially have the turbo spool up before launch see below. It is detrimental to the manifold/turbo if used often though, neither of which are cheap on your car.

E85 is good, but annoying/pricey if you drive the car often on the street. Would be good to bring the response to a better level though!

[yeahlow34]

LOL at "definately has a ten in it". It's a long way off currently.
Definately has the power to run a 10 though.
Shame to hear about possible big end :( I know that feeling and it hurts.
Hopefully you get it fixed ASAP. Love this car.

[Alt_F4]

Get the haltech tuned with a flex fuel sensor, setup tune to adjust with ethanol content.
Pour in e85 when heading to the drags/circuit, no tune swapping bs to deal with.

If you have no e85 on hand, just fill with premium, easy as!

Yea well I don't drive it on the street that much, so shelling out extra $ for the e85 won't really bother me, and it would be nice to have the boost come on a bit earlier too. I'll have a talk to Zack about the launch control functions, they sound pretty interesting.

Is that system reliable? That would be awesome because then I could have the best of both worlds.
A handful of decent powered skylines over east have been setup this way, a few have done this with the plugin Link/Vipec ecus, but the newer haltechs are already setup for it from what I've been told... keep in mind it will be a bit time consuming in the tuning than a normal one off tune.

Here's a read to get your head around some of the concepts
http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/366722-e8598-flex-fuel-mission-complete-thanks-to-chequered-tuning/

I'll probably change over from Nistune to Haltech later in the year so I can do this myself.

[bettsc]

Thanks for the link mate. Lots of stuff for me to read up on in there. If it's possible to make this system safe and reliable with a varying octane percentage this has got to be the way to go for street/track cars.

[JBAE]

My mechanic had a look at it the other day, turns out the mains bearing and the big end bearings have shat themselves. Not good news. In the process of ordering parts now and maybe throwing a few more goodies in there while everything is apart. Will update when I know more....

[bettsc]

Have decided to take the car down to Ovaboost in Malaga. Spoke to Mick yesterday, and he is keen to get started. It will definitely be running e85 once it is finished at Ovaboost. Will post more updates in a couple of weeks.

[bettsc]

Finally! Will hopefully have some pictures of the damage in a week or so.

[j3rk]

Updates? You planning to upgrade much?

[bettsc]

Not much planned in the way of upgrades yet. Will wait to see how bad the damage is. I'm thinking about upgrading the oil pump to something with higher pressure and more volume. Injectors need to be upgraded as well. Unless Mick recommends anything else I am happy to leave it as it as at the moment and concentrate on getting the suspension and tyres set up properly. I'm on the lookout for another set of rims with some wider rears. I would keep the RE30's as a track rim with semi slicks on and use the bigger rims as a street set, if I get the right offset I should be able to fit some 300's or 315's under the rears.

[Madhav]

I have been researching like mad about tyres. So sick of loosing traction.

I nailed it down to two options for semi slicks. Toyo R888 or Nitto Nt-01. These are the best compromise between decent traction and decent handling. Also recommend to lower your tyre pressure down to 25psi. Found them for about $260 a tyre in 275/35/18. Shipping from the USA is about $250 for 2 or $300-320 for 4. Local prices are about $450 a tyre.

Otherwise just go all out and go for Mickey thompson/BF Goodrich drag radials. However these will not be so good on the twisties.

Cheers, I have seen a lot of guys on the american forums running the toyo R888's. I'll have a look on that thread too. I'm still in the process of working out which rims I want, that's harder than deciding on tyres! Good luck with the traction issues man.

I really like the colour and simplicity of the C14's, and they would show off the grex brakes nicely. The classics are cool because they have a nice lip on the rears, but they won't show much of the brakes and rotors. Thoughts??

[SSICK]

why would you run a larger rim on the front?

[RGVFAST]

CCW classics in silver would be the only option or me.

[bettsc]

A smaller rim on the rear means I can run a tyre with slightly taller sidewall, meaning (hopefully) more traction when running e85.

[Azrian]

So run the same size on the front as well

[yeahlow34]

A smaller rim on the rear means I can run a tyre with slightly taller sidewall, meaning (hopefully) more traction when running e85.

I reckon larger front would look very odd.

[Turbo2.6L]

Lol, assumed it was a typo at first. 18" front & 17" rear will look ridiculous.
You will need 18's minimum on a supra before they look decent & the difference in sidewall between the 2 will mean SFA when you have 700hp on the street. If you want traction, run 15" Weld ProStars with MT ET Streets

Although I'm not against the staggering if it provides some sort of handling benefit, the 17s (like the ones on the rear) on both front & rear with similar side wall height F&R would look ridiculously tough IMO

[bettsc]

The C14´s in that picture are 18´s. The c14 only come in 18" or larger so if I went with them it would be 18" all around. I'm leaning towards them at the moment because I like the black on black, and they will show a but more if the brakes than the classics will.

I said it when you first told me the list, I'll say it again... I'm excited! Skids!

[Daisy]

Didn't it already have the built motor?

[bird]

These TE37s are for sale. Not sure if they are the right offset but.

Turns out it did not have a built motor. HKS 3100cc piston kit and cams. That's it. The rest of the bottom end was stock.

Least you didnt pay top top dollar for the car like the previous owner did :o

False pretence all the same but 2J bottom end reknowned for being strong.

[bettsc]

It will be way stronger once this build is through :)

[Aristoman]

It will be way stronger once this build is through :)

With that list it'll be a powerhouse for sure :)

[Fryman]

it wasnt exactly weak to start off with.....

[TheChad]

Love it.

Yeah standard 2Js are strong as fuck! Ask spudbear!

[Tocchi]

^ unsure if meant to be italics ?

[doriae86]

C14s. Excellent choice

[JME]

So it didn't have tomei rods or full countered crank in place?

[bettsc]

Sorry my bad, it did have tomei rods but the crank was completely stock.

[Skitzo]

Plans for damaged motor? What exactly is damaged?

[Brockas]

Time for belated refund from importer?

[bettsc]

Not too sure as yet. Not much point keeping it, so if you want anything let me know. The crank is damage, as is one rod, and one piston. I believe one of the bores has some scoring. I am going to the workshop on monday so I'll put some pictures up of the damage.

[JME]

Time for belated refund from importer?

No it pretty much has everything as advertised when I bought it, just wanted to verify.

[bettsc]

What was left of the bearing....

One of the pistons was scored pretty bad on both sides, as was one of the bores

You can see how hot the bearing got!

[S133LTR]

What caused that 1 bearing to fail dude?
Are you using that head to put the new gear in and onto the Titan block?

[bettsc]

No idea, and my mechanic isn't sure either. There are no detonation marks anywhere, and the engine is fresh, it's only done around 7000km's.

Yea I will be using the same head and just putting it onto the titan block.

[bettsc]

Finally got to unpack the rims and tyres today! The rears are hyuuuge.

Now I'm just waiting on the short block from titan

[bettsc]

After a loooong wait, the short block is here! Hopefully I can get it all done and have it painting the highways by next weekend. Will post updates soon.

[Cochee]

Good to see the block finally arrive. Although you never got photos of the car with the new wheels.

[bettsc]

Couldn't fit them. The car is parked on a pile of woodchips and I couldn't get a jack on there to swap them over. Once the car is running I'll get the guards rolled and put the ccw's on.

[bettsc]

Dropped the car off to Ovaboost today and got some more pics.

Short block from Titan.

[Sack]

What's the difference between Titan and Toyota pump, just the gears?

Black wheels definetely make the car more awesome even though it still is!

[bettsc]

They hone out some of the ports on the stock oil pump and call it a Titan pump. I was actually not that impressed when I saw it, I thought it would have had a bit more work done on it in comparison to a stock one. But we will see how it goes before I go and buy another one.

[Sack]

How much did they charge for a "honed" oil pump? Might just "hone" out my spare 1J one and flog it for a bazillion dollars too!

[Milhouse]

More shots of the KF laser please.

[bettsc]

Haha I fucking love my laser!

[Brockas]

Very nice. Like the new rims too.

Advan 050's... <3

[Cochee]

Good to see the car today, can't wait till it's all up and running.
Hopefully the 315s can help the traction issues.

[Fryman]

that things gonna need all the traction help it can get! she always did sound the business when she comes on song!

I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure it was a few hundred.

[j3rk]

Way to step it up!! Much love for the black rims and my god those tyres are wide.

Keep the updates coming... going to be such an animal.

[4A10SHN]

Heck yes to the Toyo R888's. Wheelies on the street! Engine combo looks mad too!

[S133LTR]

Looking good dude... are the block and new main caps a bigger diameter bolt/stud? are those head studs standard diameter? What bearings and rings do titan use??

[Brockas]

LOL. No.

[bettsc]

Looking good dude... are the block and new main caps a bigger diameter bolt/stud? are those head studs standard diameter? What bearings and rings do titan use??

I'm pretty sure the main caps use the same stud size as stock. Have just looked at my invoice, because I'm pretty sure I ordered the L19 1/2" head studs, but on my invoice it shows the titan H11 standard size head studs. The L19 are oversize, but it looks like they gave me the standard size ones. The motor has ACL race bearings

[bettsc]

Just checked my invoice from Titan. I definitely payed for the ARP L19 head studs, but on the shipping invoice it says "Titan H11 head stud kit", which is not what I ordered. Spoke to Mick at Ovaboost just then and he said they are not ARP L19's! Gotta call Titan tonight and ask wtf is going on.

Thanks S133LTR for asking me about the headstuds, I might not have picked up on that if you hadn't!

[Sack]

Titan are a bunch of fuckwit's. Mate bought a full built Titan box and stall for his JZS147 and it didn't stall or change gears properly. He had massive issues trying to get Titan to fix box as they tried to say it wasn't installed properly. He paid the $1000+ shipping to apparently get it rebuilt only to get it back with the same problem. He ended up binning the stall and kit for a MV's and its all sweet now.

[bettsc]

I feel his pain. They took 10 weeks to build my block, after they told me 4-6 weeks, and two of the smaller packages they sent me had incorrect tracking numbers and packaging invoices, which made them a bitch to get through customs. I think Nero is one of the head guys there, so I'm just going to ask to speak to him tonight and ask him to send me the L19's ASAP.

[1JZVL]

:/

Fucking international shops....

Oh well, hope it gets sorted out.

Car looks fucking angry with the new shoes!

[TheChad]

still not over those tyres. My god...

[S133LTR]

No worrys bettsc.. Just make sure you check the studs in the block before you send them back.. If they have sent you standard studs they may not have prepped the block for 1/2" studs either?

[bettsc]

Cheers man.

Me either, they are huge.

I spoke to Titan about it last night and apparently they don't stock the L19's anymore, so they sent me the Titan version, which are rated to the same pressure as the L19 stud. Why they still advertise the L19's on their website, and why they didn't mention it to me when I asked for them is beyond me.

I'm going to get them to confirm in writing what they told me last night, just in case we boost it up and the studs don't hold. I'll be fucking pissed if that's the case.
