  1. x2. He played around with Actuators and various things to get it like it is. Could be wise to ask him what he did. Makes i think 1.1bar at under 3400rpm as far as im aware, cant remember exactly. Very nice to drive to. Feels like a stock R33, but with heaps more go.. power delivery wise. The only thing i noticed when comparing to a stock turbo is the immediate torque the stock one creates. But it doesnt take much right foot to rectify it
  2. meths wont strip the paint. All it will do is take the wax off. The only thing that can happen, is if your cars been unlucky and has had a touch of acid rain here and there it can leave a mark around where the sticker was. But rubbing compound and a good buff with clear it up
  3. A bit wierd, as the Christchurch plant less than two years ago almost tripled their floor space and went to manufacturing 24 hours. Some serious losses there!
  4. Hey mate, in regards to the pic, the one under the Throttle body i just take the throttle body off. Makes it easier. And the other one, a screwdriver fits. I never had problems with it. But do it in conjunction with a magnet stick Makes life easier later.
  5. Nah if it went away when you put the Nissan ones back in then theres a problem with the packs. You could also try having the aftermarket ones installed, then swap them out one a time with the Nissan one until it runs smooth. Then you've found the problematic pack.
  6. Have a quick look at the inside if the plug on the loom on all of the plugs. I somehow managed to bend two pins on mine a few weeks back. Plug wouldnt clip shut, and i thought id broken the plastic clip. So proceeded to buy another loom to replace it and when i went to do it, i had a close look with a torch (the garage my car is in is dark hence missing it at the start) and found two were bent. Straightened them with a key and away it went. But when they were bent and the plug wasnt clipping shut it was like you described. Got me moist.
  7. Isnt above the half way mark bad? Every car i have owned has been bang on half or a touch under
  8. Whats the story with the focus? Is it like normal? Cos most HID's that are installed in a regular headlight are too sharp etc. Would be nice for a shot of the actual beam too
  9. ^^ Get over it. We all know what he meant, even mentioned in the last paragraph he doesnt care. If you want to get technical it could be "Cam Covers". I also think maybe a little gasket goo around the half moon areas. I noticed that there was a teeny bit in those areas from factory. And what do you know? I cleaned it off and it now leaks haha. Who knows tho, you could be lucky! Im sick of removing mine (changed the colour a couple times etc) and only had the issue the last time
  10. Best way would be to unbolt the HICAS and install a lock bar. Then take the bulb out from the dash. Dont touch the computers though. Reminds me.. 8 months and i still havnt removed the HICAS light Wonder its still going after that long.
  11. Its not an 02 sensor. Its a cat temp sensor. Basically tells you when the cat it blocked. Its fine to leave it out. Either find the plug under the passenger seat and remove it, or just hose clamp it to the exhaust. Mine is just wedged under the exhaust shield.
  12. Agree'd. Its only ignored on boost.
  13. You dont really need to bump a thread three times in one afternoon dude
  14. ^^ what he said. Its all about engineering. If you set a govern of 180km/h then you only have to engineer the car to that level. IE Brakes, tires, suspension, aerodynamics.. etc etc. If you start throwing 300km/h speedo's in every car, then the prices im sure would get rather steep as they would have to engineer the car to be capable of doing that speed. As far as im aware, the R35 speed cut is automatically removed if you drive onto the property of any of the Japanese racetracks
  15. Sound was good on Stage 3 , but the video was horrible, like 1 frame a second Cleaned up at points.. but not very nice to watch Same with Stage 4. Video is really bad but sound was good. The picture is clear, but not smooth, ya know. Maybe try again, im knee to see.
  16. Quite like videos like this.
  17. Pretty sure 150,000rpm is more accurate
  18. It might be possible.. mine makes 10.5psi at 2250rpm... Basically, forget the whole boost control idea to lower boost! Just moderate your right foot and you can run as little boost as you want. If your plan was to lower the boost yet still floor it all the time, then your dreaming. If you dont want it to boost, dont load it up so much! Its as simple, and as free as that.
  19. If you have a boost gauge on your pillar, chances are its not the stock one is it?
  20. Yes. Its called, Nike Air. Use your right foot to control boost.
  21. Not necessarily, as the manufacturers arent always making cars to squeeze every last ounce of power out of them.
  22. I think its good that you are taking the time to research, but you keep making the comment about it being most beneficial in traffic.. WHY would it matter if you made an extra 10% of power sitting in traffic?
  23. Personally i think people are looking waaaaay to deep into this, of course bar Nismoid. So what exactly is lowering the intake temp 7'C at idle going to achieve in a street driven car? A .000000001 second decrease in time to the next set of traffic lights? Im with Nismoid. Unless its a fully blown race car where every single bit of HP counts, its a waste of time. (that and of course if the OEM gasket was a similar price, then why not..) And also to add to what Nismoid said about the IC sprayer, theres a good test on them somewhere online where an Aussie guy did intake temp readings on a car. The amount of full throttle boosting you need to see and increase in intake temp on the street is phenomonal. Like, 20 seconds plus. And if in 13.5 seconds, a quick GTSt can reach 160-170km/h, how quick are you really gonna go? And with the sprayer. The car needs to be moving slow enough for the water to cool and absorb some heat from the IC core before your on the throttle again, or its just squirting water for no reason. Hence why when in "Auto" mode, Evo sprayers only spray when the brake pedals pushed. Holding the sprayer down on the back straight is doing absolutely nothing. And if you do it on the drag strip, you should be shot.
  24. They dont?? Where does the fuel come from? BTW this isnt intended as a cheeky question, is genuine.
  25. Motion Carried
