Solo Strong has gurana in it and tastes like normal Solo.. I had a can of Samedi .. good stuff.

yeah i got these episodes from Finalgear.com at the start of the year.. good to watch over n over.. This week is good with the race against the train.. but like Gazza said, next week is even better when Jeremy takes it out on the track!

Brad can you please confirm that you have received payment from me for myself, Jim (WRX) and also Kale (SS commodore). Thanks

fuel pump is pretty simple (thanks to well designed fuel tanks in japanese cars) .. apparently you need to take the whole tank out and drain it in some american cars... lol

Crippled foot means i can't run anymore.. but i can still drive.. much faster than i could run too! haha do still play the odd game of golf and swim at the beach.

if you wanted to be really nerdy you could get [ R100001 ] ... anyone who understands it is a computer geek like me.

*gasp* .. i forgot that the whole album is visible.. good thing there's nothing too dodgy on there

The man: (not many sober photos of me around.. i hate cameras) The Machine: (since the photo the car has gotten some nice black plates and a lil lower at the front.) edit: oh and the aerial has been removed.

Checked out the intake pipe... very soft.. gonna make some modifications and see if it makes a difference. Thanks,

can anyone link to the "$5 intake mod" ? .. i've tried searching but can not locate it.

yeah a hollow cat does cause turbulence, but i expect it would be less restrictive than one full of ceramic

you and me both RICCA .. although i got home a little earlier, i stayed in bed all day with a killer hangover.

it's worth noting that catco metal cats are not the $175 ones, and also are listed as "race cats" which usually means they don't meet the street legal requirements.

My turbo and exhaust are not standard. If you look at the 2 different dyno tune sheets you can see that on higher boost the power actually starts dropping a couple hundred rpm later.. This makes me think it's not the turbo itself as it would have happened earlier if this were the case. but thank you. If the other things don't work i'll give this a shot.

not yet.. that'll be investigated on the weekend too.. seems least likely and hardest to test though. is that a common problem?

Did someone stand next to my car this evening, while eating pistachio nuts? ... i came back to my car after work and there was a rather large pile of pistachio nut shells next to my driver's door.. pretty sure it wasn't there when i parked. Someone out there likes R32 skylines and pistachio nuts!!!

yeah i get that it's not the split that is the problem.. just figured that with a bell mouth the flanges lining up would be less of an issue due to the bell mouth. but point taken.. i will investigate possible boost leaks and also take off the dump and check out the pipe this weekend... wish me luck

decats are usually a little louder and you can smell the difference in exhaust fumes.. but if your decat looks like a cat then most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Would a JJR bell mouth fix the problem? .. obviously it wouldn't have the benefit of splitting the exhaust flows, but i'm not sure how big a help that is on lower-end modified cars like mine.

should be fine without upgrading injectors.. very common mods for rb20

Yeah that's cool. I didn't mean anything by my statement.. i come across angry sometimes when i'm not. well i've got 3 things to check out so far (which is good) - Check for boost leaks - possibly replace intake pipe - check out and possibly replace/grind dump pipe Thanks guys... hopefully get some progress updates this weekend. keep the suggestions coming though .. It's good going over the theory.

both sheets are from when i took it to hyperdrive for a tune ... so it should be tuned... unless they just took my money and printed out a new sheet.

true.. but power did go up 15hp with an additional 1psi.. so it's still doing better with the extra boost.

what turbo were you using on your rb20? isn't all turbo air hot? .. i thought that was the point of having the huge intercooler out front........
