    just don't tap it on the return line (I've seen this before on a car I went to check, tried to contain my laughter).

    I have no idea Duncan, I purchased this car off Carsales and I'm sure the owner wasn't a car enthusiast lol... it had: massive 19" wank wheels rubbish tyres southern cross sticker on the rear windscreen stupid gear knob, ugly as f gearboots hectic turbosmart blow off valve hectic turbosmart bleed valve more yellow and red vacuum hoses you could poke a stick at pedder shocks and springs LOL and of course, the owner said it was purchased from Edward Lees... so the car has at least another 200 000km on top of it lol within a week, the parts listed above met either the bin or eBay

    If you're using Bilstein shocks/spring combo then going to the MCA X-Race will squat less as the spring rates would be double, if not triple what your current package would be. I notice now on the street I'm able to fry my semi slicks (Nitto NT01) when they're cold in 2nd... where as before it would drop and bite. What you need to remember is, when the car squats camber ramps up and also naturally will toe out... to combat this run lower camber and some toe in.. Also a proper diff helps too, I have a 2-way KAAZ diff in mine so torque is split 50/50 unlike the stock VLSD boat anchor which is probably like 10/90. Do you even squat? haha, nose is pointing into the sky! (old SK setup)

    buy this shit: http://www.aclperformance.com.au/EU/prod_heatshield.htm it's good
  5. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    wrap dump, or use ACL heat shield call it a day OR custom dump/down pipe OR just go external gate

    Day and night difference, but for street this isn't too ideal as it's more on the stiffer side. If you're having traction issues, I would look more into your alignment, subframe bushes, camber arms, toe arms, diff bushes etc. Stiffer suspension means less squat and less pressure on the contact patch. However in saying that, the overall comfort levels of the MCA X-Race is nearly comparable to my previous Bilstein setup however the car behaves more like a go kart now and response so much better to steering input than before. This Sunday shall review all, maybe a blown motor too. it's going to be 37 degrees at Wakefield Park lol

    with all those bad reviews and posts why persist in buying those tyres? For the money and reduced stress level I personally would get either Nitto INVO or Bridgestone Potenza RE003
  8. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    just go external gate and get an external housing
  9. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    it's not 1996, buy yourself a proper ECU
  10. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    that's maybe a little bit too much toe out for Wakefield, but not going to discount it I did run total 4mm toe out before and on the main straight the car felt pretty sketchy, however that was during the days when I owned the SK Bilstein kit and the car would point to the sky down the straight like a Powercruise car LOL I might buy a basic toe kit and attempt to tweak on the track, but not this Sunday though.. it's an open day so time/space would be a little hard to manage. I'll wait till I hit up another private track day and trial and error the setup then.
  11. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    a hose clamp and 2x wire crimps aren't exactly brain surgery lol
  12. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Nismo make fantastic gearknobs
  13. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    ^ more importantly, what alignment are you running at the rear?
  14. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    show us what your engine bay looks like... I would say call up Plazmaman get a Pro Series kit and be done with it.
  15. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    I would prefer a modern turbo and loads of boost so it sits nicely in the efficiency zone.. at the same time invest in a good intercooler.
  16. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    foe dat turn in doee!!! Because Wakefield Park has many tight-ish turns, toe out should help with the initial turn in.. also with heaps of front castor dialed in the car should have very good turn in as the camber will ramp up quicker (well theory wise). Let's see how she handles, I've backed off the ARBs to 2nd softest out of 4 at the front and softest out of 2 at the rear

    Alright, I've done some updates to the alignment, installed braided brake lines (OEM rear LHS was weeping), in preparation for a shake down this Sunday at Wakefield. Alignment Front Toe: 1.5mm toe out each side, total 3mm toe out Front Camber: -2.3 degrees (no adjustment, due to lowering the car) Front Castor: 9 degrees Rear Toe: 2mm toe in each side, total 4mm toe in Rear Camber: -1.5 degrees Should be great for tyre wear haha

    buy one of these things, then connect silicone to it then to the alloy piece.. done!
  19. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    it's just silicon and a short piece of alloy? hahah
  20. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    if anyone wants my #scotty_nm35 3" intake with 3" to 4" silicon reducer & an alloy extension piece (if you are deleting your AFM), it's up for sale soon... Mine's a little different as it doesn't have the BOV return and the breather line it mounted slightly different to delete the factory hardlines, intake mates up to the factory airbox (if you need it).

    I think it's draining man, because prior to me installing the flex sensor I didn't have this issue. Didn't know where else to elegantly install the flex sensor. Thought about the back near the fuel tank but too much stuffing about.
  22. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    thread revival! who has ditched the fuel damper/OEM check valve and replaced it with an aftermarket check valve? I've ordered the ones below which require at least 0.8bar of fuel pressure before flow initiates which is perfect to stop fuel draining back into the tank... hopefully this works when connected down stream (same direction as fuel). I've removed the OEM one to fit my flex sensor in that spot, however I'm finding my rail is draining so it's a little harder to start the car without priming it for at least 1~2seconds .. also broscience says I shouldn't have fuel lines without fuel in them for long periods of time (car rarely gets driven).
  23. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    wot you say?
  24. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    and use RB20 as a boat anchor
  25. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    It might hit load points that were unaccounted for during the tune and might do unfavourable things. Ideally a tuner with at least half a brain would interpolate values in those load rows and surrounding areas.
