Tom I emailed you a bunch of pictures of the wagon I think- or at least the hemi and the hemi and the turbos, have a mooch at those!
so you converted to a single tb? not questioning u doing it but whats the reason? custom plenum? i dont remeber ever hearing anything about the itb’s being restrictive or anything
every post tweety has ever made is fascinating. if i ever see you out, i’m buying you a beer. or some tea and crumpets or something.
A very custom plenum, listen gotta go and take the babysitter back home, I’ll be back later and hopefully drunk by then- what a day!!
I’ll attempt to post a pic of the intake, it’s most splendid.
No more beer for me, just wine these days!
Got waylaid last night I will have to post a picture of the intake…
Thanks Tom, sitting in the seat of that thing standing still was enough to make you want a stiff drink and your momma!
Holy Moses my intake and throttle body cleared US customs yesterday at 1.10PM, man it looks like I will FINALLY have those parts, only two months behind schedule, I’ve found a guy in Oz who will rebuild the transfer case for me- at last some positive news on the Skyline project!
And it all arrives here on Tuesday- yipeee, now I wonder how long it’ll take Don to put it all together- hum I reckon I’ll be picking it up on Saturday- tee hee…
Very impressive build-up, the Fury wagon sounded like quite the impressive machine. Oh so ugly, but something that one could not deny.

I do like a bit of bench racing so fire away…
The alterantive is I actually sit down and do some work that I’ve been putting off for months

Oh yes, my favorite part. This is my theory.
It will make 1500WHP just due to the fact you have two of the “big” ones, on quite a humpable car. If you happened to combine it with the power of twin yellow stripes, and vinyl stickers for parts you don’t have. (In this case you would have to stick to ricer companies since you know better, like APC or some other nonsense like that that makes wings and lights only)
This insane amount of power will instantly cause the car to do an all-wheel drive wheelie, and provided you stay in the throttle the whole time. The gyroscopic effects from all four wheels, combined with the initial launch forces should launch you high enough in the air to do a full 360 degree rotation. Before hitting the ground the engine should be pinned to the rev-limiter, and in 4th gear. Upon landing on the ground the large amount of traction gained by the inertia of you car pressing the tires on the ground, combined with your massive theoretical amounts of power. Should result in one of 4 scenarios.
Scenario 1:
Having sufficient traction upon landing, the car will launch at a longitudinal force equal to that of a skydiver hitting the ground without opening his parachute. Resulting in a 5 second pass.
End-Result: No video makes it to the internet due to the fact the car can not be captured on any recording equipment beyond the 4th second. Those that see the video call BS.
Scenario 2:
You have to much traction upon landing, the pavement tears away before the car can even get a chance to move. And you are now stuck in 4 giant potholes, with a fancy DNF to go with it.
End Result: Video on YouTube of one of the most unusual drag-racing incidents ever. Your fined for damages to the track.
Scenario 3:
Upon landing you bottom out the suspension system blowing out the entire dampening system, shattering the springs. The tires blow-out from over loading, as well the torque-distributing properties of your fancy new differentials ensure that all four wheels get just enough torque to snap all four half-shafts like a spaghetti noodle. At this point the car should next land on the oil-pan. Crushing it, and resulting in the crank taking a few good bites out of the pavement before seizing up.
End Result: Poorly and higly shaken video filmed video on YouTube of the most spectacular shower of metal parts ever. Complete with some annoying bitch screaming so you can’t hear the announcer being witty. Or the car exploding.
Scenario 4:
Reality steps-in makes the above obsolete. You make about 550ish or more to the wheels. And put down a high-10 second pass on the first run. Fuzzy goes back to sleep to try and shake off a cold.
End Result: You get speeding ticket later in the day. You’re blacklisted by every lawyer in the US.
Now THAT’S funny ! and yes I suspect # 4 is certainly what will happen, my lawyer has already disowned me after the last incident…
I’m busy working on the old yellow cuda and by the end of the weekend the old wheel tubs will be cut out and the new wheels will be on and I can drop it back on it’s wheels to see how everything looks.
I have an engine sitting there on a stand, I may just throw that in the car, put a regular Mopar trans in it and go have some fun- we shall see???
LOL - Devin for the win. Best story writer here hands down! :tup:
And the man rebuilding the transfer case says the front driveshafts break when you really lean on it, but I think you need much more power than I have to do that. I just need a cunning method of twiddling the control knob on the HKS gizmo while going down the track, we need 50/50 torque split when it leaves the line, progressing back to 2 WD operation once it gets traction, could be tough to change gear, steer and do that - all at the same time?? I could steer it with my knees , but then I couldn’t push the pedals down- hum something of a quandry…
I have considered fitting a line lock to the clutch hydraulic line, so I can mash the clutch in and hold it with a solenoid. That way you can hold the car on the brakes and have the throttle mashed to the floor on the two step limiter ( the AMS has this function I think??) and when the light turns green - BOOM - release the line lock- the ultimate clutch dump, the motor gets up to the second limiter and it’s time to shift into second in about half a second.
Sounds like a plan, not a good one I grant you, but a plan none-the-less.
can i have your rear diff and axles lol
you know what I actually have a complete R32 GTS set up - R200 diff, Skyline driveshafts and it’s a 4.56 ratio, just the thing for a 240SX drift car- can you say tire smoke!
I should really sell it as I have no further use for it $250 is all it owes me…
Holy shit the intake and TB just arrived- AGHHHHHHHHHH I’m in love again, I will email some pics to Tom to post. I’d better make sure my wife doesn’t catch me shoving my weenie down one of the runners- ooops…
lmao
