    Are those Garrett G series or copies?
  2. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Oh the irony! Most people hate China, but can't live without them (cars, phones, appliances, etc.)

    Might be an option when the business grows, never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. Mid life crisis dis dat, also means moving forward I won't be too inclined to buying our future house anywhere near the CBD or Metro Sydney. Come at me man shed and hoist and motion racing SIM and maybe a dyno? Lol. Dyno Tune your Car and Home Loan.

    Finished studying already, mortgage broking 😊 Started working already too, have settled a handful of refinances and learning the ropes. All have been simple PAYG clients (all family and friends, can't thank them enough, trusting me with their finances). Will say goodbye to the IT world for good one day, nearly 2 decades of ups and mainly downs lol... I'm burnt out from corporate, constant moving targets, constant scope creep, never a fking clear definition of an end goal. Hope I've made the right move, if not, I hear job seeker allowances aren't too bad LOL.

    Not much car shit happening as of late, been so busy with work and decided to also study to do a massive career backflip. So yeah, working 2 jobs, means no time for Dose Pipe plays with toys time. Anyhow, new Philips XL Air Fryer came today. Went for the non Wi-Fi version which is like $50 cheaper. New air fryer, who dis?

    Welcome to a place where you just spend endless amounts of money to have a car that doesn't work, or barely works.
  7. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Haha... The SAU old timers, we've been there, done that and still haven't learnt our lesson(s).
  8. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Could just add material, grind down and use something like this. Lol... Or just drill out, reweld on another firewall, maybe from another GT-R or a GTS-4, Gracer vibes lolololol.

    Haha a polite way of describing Greg... If you've ever followed his many builds, you'll see he constantly gets Greged or Gregged up. Him a few others on here are masters of BW EFR propaganda, don't mess with them because you'll get EFRed up Dad jokes are strong as of late.

    Probably on a container ship heading to either the US or a very hot country.
  11. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Yay, I'm so happy this is back! I'm sure all the small F&B, hospitality businesses are super happy too.

    Issue with this are gaskets failures (x2) as mentioned above also it raises the turbo up further which may cause packaging issues etc. I suppose if you have an experienced fabricator around, you could cut off the T3 flange and weld a T4 divided flange. Another option (probably better) is to find an experienced turbo builder and they can machine a turbine housing to suit. I would even ask Tao at Hypergear to machine and send one over to you. Might end up cheaper for you.
  13. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    You might need an experienced turbo builder to machine a turbine housing to suit the Garret G30 turbine profile. I'm assuming you're in the US, maybe hit up ATP?
  14. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Which brand turbine housing are you getting? Garrett seem to have dropped focus on anything twin scroll as of late. They only have it in T4 1.06.
  15. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    GTX series turbos, albeit reliable are quite dated now. I run a Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2 with a T3 1.01 divided housing and I get 0.8bar of boost by 4000rpm and about 4600rpm is when it's all in (1.8bar) on a 2.5L, VCT NEO, 264/272 cams + usual mods. Makes a sensible 437kW on E85. I do rev the motor to 8600rpm but at about 7500rpm or so it's not making anymore power. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would get a Turbosmart 6262 or a Garrett G35-900. Probably same response but will go 500kW+
  16. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    either that, or the said LSD is worn OR the initial torque setting (being a Nismo one, I'm assuming it has the adjustment on the RHS when you pull out the stub axle) it is set so low it's not engaging
  17. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    sounds like you've just described a helical/torsen diff, when you load up the rear wheels with the handbrake, then I'm assuming both wheels will then spin
  18. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Yep, like how people insist VCT does nothing, delete them OR say how twin scroll is a waste of time.
  19. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    I've driven it around "in da hooodd" and it seems ok, have driven it around with the A/C on as well to generate more heat. So far no leaks. Yet to do a long drive OR a track day in it, so both will be the tests. I think if I were to do it again, I would just plumb the water return straight into the intake manifold's bleed ports (un-used) on the top side, noting that I have an aftermarket one. I hope this works well, because I cannot be fked working on the car ever again In terms of your usual highflow kit, I would just return the water to the hardline behind the head.
  20. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Time to get measuring (not a fun job)
  21. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Another thought, are those actually NEO cams made for the NEO head (shim over bucket) and not the non NEO head (hydraulic lifters)?
  22. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    @Toff if it's a NEO and it's making the noises you're describing, it sounds like you need to work on the valve clearances and measure/replace shims as required.
  23. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.
  24. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Depends on how extreme, however if you look at SMSP, they're all dominated by Hondas and M cars on amateur/street car events.
  25. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Very even markings on the spark plugs, looks quite healthy to me. I may have missed it, however is your sump and catch connected? If so, perhaps block off the sump to catch can vent/drain and see if you get less oil consumption. (Assuming the oil vapours have a bit more time to catch along the oil galleries/passage inside the motor and not continue as vapour out of the cam covers). Worth a shot, I have a ball valve on mine so when I'm not beating it at the track the sump/catch can drain/vent is blocked off.
