yep 4 inch pipe. left it at the exhaust shop and said just go big. so it came out big. cheers for the comments guys ive been looking into doing an r31 rear end with an s13 coilover. really wanna just get it tuned and out for a bit of a shakedown. will keep everyone updated. ****also looking for a fixedback bucket, ill swap my 2 recliners for one if anyone is interested.

cheers for the comments guys. redae71 i check yours regularly. always like to keep up to date on what the other ca boys are up to. i havnt really built it for anything in particular but its definatly no streeter anymore. i think mainly drift and if i could take it down the strip that would be awesome but there isnt much of that going on at the moment here in SA. quick update... doing the fuel setup again. i want to go around an 800cc injector and bosch 044 motorsport pump and get it tuned up on methanol/ultimate mix. starting to need to do something about the diff. might just go a t-series for now and try a 2way. if that dusnt work itll be r31 time. also would like to do an s13 coilover in the rear and maybe swap to power steer. just depends how much cash i really wanna blow on it. anyway some newer pics....
-
ill find out soon enough but seems to be running good to me. not much has happened lately. but it is booked in to get tuned early october. lookin now at getting it tuned on a methanol/ultimate blend.

4 inch straight pipe on today... sounds......................loud. also stole some supers off my mate so they will be going on the back till i get the meshie back. hopefully maybe probably wont but ill try and get it on a dyno tomorrow. we'll see how we go. otherwise i beleive there is a dyno day on at willall next weekend so ill shoot it down there
-
oh updated pics in first post...
-
hoping to get it on the dyno this weekend. took it for a squirt last night and she lights the tyres hard now. its only on about 12psi so should be sick once i get the boost up there.
-
running, took a little bit to get it started initially but shes away now. SSR's here on tuesday and on the dyno at some stage next week. ide say its making around 160rwkw on 11 psi at the moment so hopefully we can get it up to 18-20psi and see what it does.

I'm more setting it up for track days so sleeper look had to go. plus having a sleeper these days don't mean shit. get caught racing in your r34 GTR or a CA18 corolla and the outcome will be the same........ quick update............ were getting pretty close to being ready to go. SSR's are probs a week away, new coilovers this week, dr drift tuned comp back mid week. got to mount the other 3 coils and mod loom to suit. solder up the afm wiring and crank it over. it will be for sale in the near future with or without wheels. ive had fun building it but maybe time to pay some debts and be boring. or buy my 32 back. anyway if you think you might be interested in it once its done shoot me a pm. cheers

its not as clean as those photo's make it out to be. it wont get a whole lot of street use anymore except for the odd cruise here and there so I'm not too worried about how it will look. Rolliac- it is mate yes, Re-Tuned by DR DRIFT. ill have the comp back by mid to late next week and i should have the rear wheels all done and on by monday/tuesday the week after so itll be ready for battle. ill run it on the dyno and see how it goes but i reckon ill be driving over with the "foolish line" boys for winton in oct and get dr drift to fine tune it then. ive already got my eye on a td06-25g and a built head but ill wait n see what goes on with this setup first
-
got it back from the exhaust place today. man its sweet. now all thats left to do is the ls1 coils and wire up the AFM. I'm really hoping i can push this setup to 230rwkw but its really unknown what it will do. in theory it should just get there with the only thing being the injectors that may hold it back. few shitty dark pics till tomorrow when i can throw up some good one's. i also bought a pair of 16x8 +13 SSR meshies for the ass which will be a good offset once the 31 diff is in. enjoy...

old turbo off. new mani and turbo dummy fitted. not at all happy with where the mani sits the turbo. mods tomorrow
-
ill get some up soon. i really want it back. might be on the cards after I'm done with this thing. updates..... got my manifold today. which means getting the old one off asap and dummy fitting it all up. manifold looks to be ok except for 1 thread needing a clean up. true test will be on the dyno i spose..

hey, bit bored so i thought ide chuck this up and make a bit of a build thread outta it. so, bought it in december i think last year. the previous owner had thrown the CA in and ive been driving it around now daily for about 9 months. mods... Fresh rebuilt CA rebuilt box exedy clutch std turbo, afm, injectors jzx81 FMIC some form of external fuel pump, lift pump and surge tank battery in boot blitz dual sbc s13 front suss incl lower control arms s13 coilovers rear king springs and aftermarket shocks recaro style seats carpet removed and most of the sound deadening speco water temp and boost guages CA stockies all round. with the standard ecu, afm, injectors and turbo it made 152rwkw on 11-12psi with 11:1 afr's all the way to redline. was pretty sweet daily if ya wanted to thrash but found the power to be a bit doughey coz of the stocko ecu and the turbo just not up to the task (even after whoopin some old dude in his VZ clubby from 80km/h :hmm: . not to mention it was a fair pig to drive especially with no A/C in the 45 degree adelaide summer. So i sold my GTR and bought a commy to daily around in with the plan being to sell the corolla and pay off some debts. After countless knobheads coming to check it out and test drive it i got sick of trying to sell it and decided that ide pump some more power through it (or try to and fail). this brings us to now... I'm not so slowly collecting the bits i need to make the power i want. please note this isnt a drift car, or drag car, or street car really. i just wanted to build it so when I'm old and grey i can look back at the footage and laugh, and show my kids how weak their rides are... so the bits to make the power i want.... after browsing the web lookin at the "all the rage" Garrett and HKS turbos goin for huge $$ i came across a Trust/Greddy TD05H-18g and TIAL 38mm external gate at a rediculusly cheap price so snapped them up. i already had some 444cc injectors from a GTR and got my mate who works at motor traders to hook me with some LS1 coils to get rid of the already missing coilpacks. have an RB20 AFM at about 1/10th the price of a z32 which is reported to be good for 250rwkw on a CA. bought some 4 to 5 stud spacers and pinched a set of SSR RS-8's off my mate in 16x7.5 and 16x8, way over the whole sleeper thing time for it to get stickered up anyway. so now just waiting on my ECU to come back from DR Drift in melb and my high mount Ebay manifold (don't worry itll get re-inforced) and i can start getting some photos together and then push it on the dyno till something max'es out or it goes pop. some flicks of the car now, the turbo and gate, and a couple of previous rides so you all know I'm not a retard doin this for the first time... old rides... SR20 32.. ok so updates as i can get them done. ide say within the next 3 to 4 weeks ill have it on the dyno... ################################################################################ ok so its 99% complete now just waiting on a meshie, wheel alignment and dyno run. its all up and running and has a new stance so thought ide post a pic. itll go on the dyno next weekend ide say for a final tune up and get the boost up then off to lala.
