  1. Just reply through ebays unpaid dispute lodgement and they will certainly get your messages that way. The message will be logged with ebay if the matter escalates. Is there a possibily they didn't get your emails? Seems a little odd 2 sellers didn't reply. If its just a matter of not paying they the dispute should be easily resolved by you and both sellers
  2. Here's a link of the motor/car in it's previous state for anyone interested http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=m...rt=0#msg_614991 Here's the old dyno results. You can see why I have replaced the turbo to improve mid range power
  3. Finally some progress: - Hacked up engine bay wiring replaced and tidied up - Replaced GT30 with GT28 turbo and better designed turbo manifold. Bye bye GT30 and lag. But boy it was great when it came on boost though - Minor oil leak fixed - New alloy plate welded on plenum runners as didn't fit flush and leaked. Now have one piece of alloy instead of previous design which had mounted each runner individually. Work still needed to completed have on the road: - Front mounting an intercooler to replace the barrel. Still haven't decided what intercooler I'll end up using. Depends what fits. - Installation of a standard radiator to replace the alloy one and fitting super strut brakes - Relocation of the dry cell battery into the boot, allowing more room for intercooler plumbing - Dyno tuning new LT12 which replaces the MTX8. LT12 will allow for VVT to be connected up. I'm interested in seeing what difference this may make. - Bolting back on front panels and bonnet. Replacement of barrel intercooler and alloy radiator has allowed a normal bonnet latch to be connect. Previously had bonnet pins. Also hoping to fix up the paint if money permits but might just cut it back, polish for the interim and fix up later. Will try to get some new pics once the car is moved from its current location. The car is wedged between two others making it difficult to get any reasonable pics
  4. Long time last update. Thats probably as there's been pretty no progress. Had complications with my mechanic but hoping to have to it started again soon.

Loom sourced. Thanks Chrisso]
  6. ive seen that article and why I'm sure its powerful I'm positive its not 294kw powerful. I'm a little rusty as read it ages ago but something made me believe it was very inflated. it may have been the injectors being too small to deliever that much fuel for a car with that much power
  7. woot thats me :lock_folder: yep having seen her dynoed at 175kw on about 16psi. 240kw is easily obtainable on about 22-24psi but doesnt interest me. there is a few examples of 4agze in oz with 240kw+
  8. check your coolant level. low level is most common cause of an erratic idle
  9. I thought it was 20% but even as low as 20% a 5k is fine. If you are going to call in make sure you ring Regency as the other branches are clueless to this sort of stuff
  10. on the road i have no idea. but work will commence within 3 weeks :monkey:
  11. Thomo: Yeah i had fuelling problems with it. Got rid of it now though so i guess it wasnt my problem after that haha. Just realised I'm on Scotto's profile. Oops! - AE35
