Personally, I would, but it depends. On my everday car like a swift or corolla, I dont mind, but def not on something that has a bit of power. I used cheap chinese tyres on my corolla for years.. no issues. Mind you its gutless. The quality of the stuff coming out of china, and the rest of the asian countries def is getting better.

Heres one as we speak!

Trying my luck here to see if anyone's willing to let go, or upgrading from, before I look at buying new. I have a mint condition EFR9180 w 1.05(powder coated compressor cover) too for sale or swap. Done less then maybe 3-4000ks.

Personally I'd stick with ATI.. either 750 or 1000hp version, and stick a trigger kit too while youre at it. Lots of choices for trigger kits.. dont have to get PRP if you dont want to. Either way, wont get much change from 2knz. In saying that, the NZ Wiring CAS is an excellent upgrade too from stock.. lots of guys run them. Depends how much you want to fork out really and how hard youll be pushing your setup.

Me and me friend did this on his 33R in his basement carpark only using the torch from our phones. That top starter bolt musta taken us about an hour alone. Needless to say I am now an expert in removing R boxes in a basement carpark with iphone torch and limited number of tools

Obviously. Trying to figure out how much of a hit it will have on my response.

Thanks lith. Wow thats hideous haha. under 150kw by 4 and 250 by 5. In comparison, I'm making 260 by 4, and 370 by 5.. and thats in 5th gear as well. From 4k the line is almost linear. Ive been looking at the 9280... Not sure if that will get me 4 digits either. I'm so addicted to the response that I dont really want to lose it.

I am still after response, but I want to see what kind of a hit it will take.. I want to take my car over to Japan soon.

Get a lambda, and learn to not drive like a dick on the roads.

On the topic of the HKS GT III Turbo's.... What about GT75115_BB? https://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product/turbo/universal/index.html Ive been having a look at this to replace my EFR9180 with. Theres a few cars that made 1250+hp with this on racegas: https://www.hks-power.co.jp/product/turbo/universal/example.html Anyone run this yet?? Especially on a 3.0 or 3.2 Perhaps?? Super interested..

🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤐

I posted one a few replies up. Before I parked her up, I did lots of highway pulls. I def noticed that the ECT was alot more stable. Did lots pulls in high gears to redline and I was def happy. Safe to say my ECT issues were completely fixed.

Which sequential? Do you know the ratios? Assuming your first will be super long as well, making it seem more laggy. Plus you're going to be running a massive turbo, and its a precision, so will be laggy as hell on the streets. Expect to be gapped by prius's. Precisions dont do compressor maps which kinda sucks. What work have you done to your head? Please make sure your engine builder degree's your cams!! We just played with the cams on mine and its alot more responsive and made a wee bit more power.

So you went to see him 3 times, and he couldnt tighten the belts..?!!?!? Time to find a new mechanic.

hah. We put the 1 piece shaft on last night.. and the vibration is back. Anyways, cars going in storage for another year soo.. cbf.

They asked me to measure from the 2 flanges 3 times and average it out, thats all I know of.

Good to hear - Have you noticed any vibrations at all when the shaft is hot? i mean after sitting through like 40-50 mins of traffic? Nope. We had to space the box down by couple of mm too. But issue only seems to happen when the shaft gets hot. I mean its not an issue, but just vibrations. Def can live with, I'm just a picky cnut.

I dont believe in spending $1000's over a ceramic coating when I can do it on my own. I've been personally using this on all my cars inc my R. You spray this over and wipe your polish etc to lock in the luster etc. My car was in storage for about a year recently, and had this on before. All I had to do was give it a quick wash and it was ready for a magazine shoot. https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/turtle-wax-turtle-wax-hybrid-solutions-ceramic-spray-coating-473ml/591047.html I've got videos of things sliding off the hood, or the roof after I applied this. I also apply this on my windscreen and barely have to use the wipers(Although it does fade off after a week or two in rainy weather).

Thats a bit pricey haha, but let me see. I'll try to find someone local here if they can check and balance it. Re Xtreme - I have no idea. I just know they were running one from their website and facebook. I'll swap the tailshaft out tomorrow and see how it goes.

I definitely felt the engine to be more free revving with the alpha omega tail shaft. The vibrations were def the shaft, because last week, we swapped it back to my oem shaft, and the vibrations are gone... and I noticed the engine wasnt as rev happy as before(I'm super sensitive). One thing I just realised was that when I used LC to launch with the OEM shaft, it bogged down very bad. The last launch I did with the 1 piece shaft, it didnt bog at all. I'll upload some videos soon. The launch strategy was IDENTICAL.. I tried to pre-load the drivetrain, then let it out.

Thank you, I've literally copied that and will ask my workshop. I dont know my tailshaft speed, I would assume the speed would match the oem shaft, as it would depend on my gear ratios? Was that an expensive exercise having it rebuilt? How long did it take? In terms of max tailshaft RPM. I'm not sure either. I bought it as I saw the Xtreme GTR was running it. I believe he also runs an Albins with the same ratios, and he revs it to 10k IIRC.

Bruh, mines stock occifer, honest!

Thanks guys. I think I'll just leave it, because I dont have alot of time. Maybe before I fly back, I'll stick it back on. Any ideas how much power difference it makes? I swear it feels different.

So I finally bolted this puppy on my recent trip back home: https://www.alphaomegaracing.com/product/monstar-tailshaft/ I noticed on a long drive through traffic, I started getting some vibration on the motorway around 140+ (after traffic). I'm guessing it expands ever so slightly once heated up closing up clearances. We swapped back to the oem drive shaft and no vibration. Anyone else running similar drive shaft? Is there any way to get rid of the vibration? I'm already running whiteline subframe bushes and Nismo rear diff bushes. Def seemed to be more rev happy and responsive with the 1 piece though!
