  1. Its still there but nothing happening with it ah that sucks Sub will be in the parcel shelf in the middle, factory fitted 10" jobbie, sits under the same cloth covered thing-o that holds the rear middle brake light
  2. yeah drop in, but you cant use the VCT on teh inlet cam, need to run 2 normal cam gears like an RB26 or RB20
  3. It is basic. Think of a garden hose with a balloon on one end, you need to inflate the balloon to move an object with is being pushed back from the opposite direction by a spring. So you blow into the garden hose (boost pressure) the balloon inflates and pushes the object back as it over comes the spring pressure. now poke a hole in the hose and try to blow it up, you blow the exact same amount of air as the first time, but now because the hose has a hole in it the balloon doesn't inflate as much and doesn't move the object as far because you are loosing pressure through the hole in the hose Now think of the wastegate being the object you are trying to push, the spring as the spring holding the wastegate shut and the balloon as the diaphragm pushing the spring, and the hose as the vacuum line from the actuator to your intercooler piping. The excess pressure is simply vented out the hole in the boost controller into the engine bay. what you are thinking of in part of your post is the blow off or recirculation valve. What that does is when you close the throttle (let off the loud pedal) all the pressure in the intercooler piping has nowhere to go but back where it came from (back out the turbo) making the "dose" noise or the tu tut tutut utut noise you often here. Big conjecture as the whether it does any damage to the turbo or not. So the factories started fitting recirc or blow off valves. Work similar to a wastegate but backwards, they close up tight under boost and release when the throttle plate is closed. They too are fed boost, but from the intake manifold only, so they are fed boost to hold the valve closed, plus a spring to hold it closed too and when you back off the throttle because the intake manifold is now under vacuum that same boost feed + the pressure in the intercooler pipes opens the valve to let the excess pressure out, either back into the intake before the turbo (legal) or straight out to atmosphere (not legal) illegal due to the noise plus the air in the intake system is full of oil vapor / fuel vapor etc and might kill some baby seals or some shite. Also cars fitted with Mass Air Meters (AFM or MAF) like the skyline dont like externally venting blow off valves, because the air flow meter measures the amount of air being sucked in and tells the ECU to add fuel for that amount of air. Except the engine doesn't receive that air but the computer thinks it does so it throws a whole heap of fuel in thinking all that air is making it into the engine, causes stalling issues and horrid fuel economy. Where as when plumbed in, you will see it feeds back into the intake between the turbo and the AFM it just gets recirculated back around and reused, so the amount of air the AFM reads is now correct for the amount of air the engine is receiving. Hope that makes sense, made it as basic as I could
  4. Cheers, China manifold isnt permanent, just needed to get the car going asap....Will go fancy everything down the track hahah If you have a aftermarket stereo in the car I can guarantee that is what is causing your issues, Headunit/amp and indicator wiring all run off the same plug under the head unit
  5. Also have a K&N Pod...few years old now and needs a good clean etc. no good to me with the huge neck on it $20 + post and a Piccy of the crank
  6. Ok, I did have the long loom that goes from the sensor to the E-01..but cant for the life of me find it...I'd still have (might still be in the car) but here are the photos, loom is a bit messy after being no doubt being on a few cars. Plug on the map sensor Screen Control unit Map Sensor
  7. Gimme a few mins and I'll dig it all out of the shed and take some photos for you
  8. Sweet just signed up...damn they have some stuff....might bring in a heap of RC stuff
  9. I think I paid $100 for the map sensor from kando dynamic, it is required as it is what the Unit reads manifold pressure from. For $30 I'll chuck it in too (you can use the map sensor for the emanage anyway) If the E-01 doesnt work I'll refund the money for it minus the 30 for the MAP sensor
  10. you would have to weigh up...whether it is worth buying a GTR for over 20k prob 25k then spending all the coin working on it to be rwd. or buy a 33 gtst for 4k, with a cage say 7k, GTR front guards for a few hundred, fiberglass rear guards, chuck a RB25/30 in it + your hollinger and you have a car that will be so close to what you want to do you would have to be Michael Shumacher to tell the difference is chassis rigidity and it wouldnt cost much more than buying a Standard 33 R to begin with. then spend the 20k saved on not buying a GTR on some of Brads trick suspension bits and a dry sump setup. its what I would do given the coin
  11. .....dammit...why do all these things happen when I have no money.....again f**k you GFC and making me loose 2 jobs this year Alvin...you are not allowed to strip the car until next year!!!!
  12. My Girlfriends Uncle is a PI in melbourne. may be able to do something. But I doubt old mate would put up his real suburb. I would keep ringing the police...remember who you spoke to and keep hassling them...let them know you really want help...even go down to the station and try and speak with him/her
  13. I have always stayed away from alibaba...thought it was dodgy as....turns out I may be wrong lol
  14. that sounds like Canberra, can't get anything
  15. yeah screen works fine, had to remove the plug from the hand controller to the screen and hard wire it because the plug was stuffed and wasn't working
  16. nah people ask silly money for 2nd hand torsen diffs...will get a TRD 1.5way for similar $$$ will have a surge tank and 2 x 044s, ECU wise I have no idea at this stage but leaning towards the Adaptronic E1280S will cross that bridge when I come to it I guess
  17. back up we go
  18. well...don't hold back tell us the rest son
  19. LOL
  20. What are you doing in here Ben?? lol I do agree 100% though....apart from double the value of the R32....remember the R32 beat all those V8s at bathurst 20 years ago.... Would be the only skyline I would ever buy now....but alas I am poor so it will never happen
  21. I might have to take my car there lol P.s I dont believe you when you say your exhaust is a china jobbie lol...looks too good
  22. ouch! Well if you need a hand pulling the box out...I did the R33 one more than enough times lol
  23. hhahah thats a good idea any news on the car?
