Buy coppers next time and gap to 0.8mm. Kristina are horribly expensive. I buy a set of copper plugs for mine for $20 and I run 18psi all day everyday. You don't need iridiums as has already been said, coppers will save you a bunch money

Phil, I'll let you know if I sus something out. I don't want to drill holes either

I just ordered some boost off eBay

^This But if you want it explained again: Without a boost controller, actuator see's 1psi, 2psi etc till it reaches a certain point where it will hold boost constant With a boost controller, your actuator see's 0psi until there is enough pressure to open the boost controller (cracking point) in which point your actuator see's 7psi for example immediatly. The wastegate opens quicker to hold boost at that point. If you have a boost controller set above the actuator then you will find the boost controller will open and close rapidly to keep the desired amount of boost in the system. It's similar to a relief valve on a hydraulic system, if you have any hydraulic knowledge

Hey Phil was searching through some old threads and saw you involved in a bonnet strut group buy. And then I thought I'd seen a photo of your car with bonnet struts Was I paying attention or dreaming lol? I want to get some for mine. Have a rough idea of what I need to do, just wondering if you found a good car to steal the struts off or if you bought a kit etc. I can use the lower supports from a VN-VS commodore as far as I know, but Im gonna need 4 of these. If they dont fit on the bonnet mounts then I can do some fab work to make them fit but anyway, just wanted to see if you had any pointers. And if you in fact dont have any on your car, then sorry for wasting your time with this post

Must have been overnight from Japan

Haha completely random and all but the "install boost" thing reminded me of NFS: Shift where you payed $20,000 to increase the boost

FYI, doing all the work at home I think my rebuild cost about $600 - $700 (around that anyway). That was a bearing/seal kit, new 2nd and 4th gear synchro From ATC and the energizers etc from nissan.

fuses + follow the wiring to check for any obvious issues. so are you saying that the relay works in the hicas circuit? or have you pulled it out and tested it with another power source?

fan should always be spinning while the engine is on. It will change speed depending on engine speed but it should never stop till the engine is turned off and the fan slows down

Nice work, so close to a 9 you can almost taste it. Think if they throw some sticky stuff on the track they usually do it before test and tune but hopefully I'm wrong and you will have a better chance of cracking a 9 tonight Well done in any case, any improvement is a good thing

You use o be able to buy a recirc kit for the genuine greddy bovs. Check the greenline website because that's the last place I saw them. Pretty sure it's a 90 degree bend and some oter stuff but don't quite remember. Otherwise if your handy you can make your own adapter. Or I have a crossoverpipe with the holes tapped into it to bolt a greddy type RS (rip off) straight on in the stock position. I think I still have it anyway

Even 4000rpm for 11psi on a stock turbo seems way to laggy. I'm hitting 18psi with my HKS turbo before then. As GTSBoy said, check your piping, suction and pressure sides, pull them all off if you have to just to be sure. Check the rubbers/silicon joiners for cracks etc, taking special note of the ones that you've touched recently. Filter, especially if it's in the standard airbox as it's not visible when you open the bonnet Also when you've done all that id try an ECU reset in case it's gone a bit crazy. Does the car idle fine? Is it shooting out any smoke when you load it up (boost)? Any other info you can think of?

If I ever sell it, it's a genuine series 2 as well Not sure about TNT. Won't be racing anyway, haven't had time to check my base timing and go over the tune again. Might come watch depending on who else is going

Port shrouded cover* This is an anti surge cover:

Not sure it will fit Ben. The S2 headlights are different to the S1 GTS-t and GTR lights. I couldnt fit my S2 grille in when I still had my S1 front on from memory Happy to try it if your in town and have it on you but lol......

Im thinking about getting the front lip on my car carbon fibre wrapped, and maybe the grille as well..... but im not sure if it would look any good, I keep changing my mind about it lol....... opinions?

Maybe

Never heard of EGR?

Injecting that much air would send your AFR's a bit mental, plus you have to match that with fuel and it won't actually spool the turbo instantly EDIT: actually thinking about this. If you inject air after the turbo it may want to turn the turbo backwards (maybe), and if it is injected before turbo, your gonna lose most of it out of the filter Holset (from memory) were researching and developing an "E-Boost" that used a small electric motor to help the turbo accelerate from low RPM or something like that. Saw this a while ago so don't remember much but this is a much better idea. Still I can't really justify it on an RB. As had been said. You would lose alot of the energy ou are "gaining" with powering whatever you end up using A KERS type system is what I'd have to say would be the closest to using an energy sorce to help acceleration, but the weight/complexity of such a unit on an older car would make it kinda useless, especially when you have to recharge it. On new cars where it can be built in, yeah but I sorta don't see the point unless it's used for taking off/getting up to speed rather then an actual speed boost

Phil does the interviewing around these parts mate lol

This is the issue I had, none of the other 33's with the cooling panel seem to have this bolt on them :S Its the top bolt for the support for the bracket for the horn + bonnet cable support. Not a big deal, just a bit unsure why it only seems to be on my car and noone elses lol Also, I posted this in the Mackay thread but anyway, heres my saturday car washing, buffing and waxing effort Fitted new flex blade wipers as well, 20kw increase right there

Lol yeah that's what I meant sorry. Can only find the group buy for dori34

Bumper

Cant find the thread in the group buy section? Can only find one by Dori34 which didnt seem to take off
