Please only the good stuff. Nothing old, preferably new in box or in very good condition. Needs to come with all the bits. Let me know what you've got. Thanks.

Can you give me a steer? Looks like I need some for my 2860R -7s. I know of GCG but I'm wondering if there are alternatives, perferably Melbourne based.

Bingo. Thanks.

Yep, so does that make Munkeyboy right? Is it best practise to have the mechanical set close to the electronic? If so, why?

Yeah, don't know why but I suspected something like this myself. Can you explain why?

Good question. That's the point of this thread. My other car ran 21 psi with no EBC so either there was another way of controlling the boost level, or the actuators were set at that level when my tuner installed them. Either way, the boost would trail off in the last couple of thousand rpm. So I had the EBC fitted and not only was the peak boost maintained all the way to the redline, but it made boost noticeably earlier at all points in the rev range and was MUCH nicer to drive. My conclusion therefore is that an EBC is very worthwhile and that (probably / maybe) even though the actuators had been modified they weren't doing the job properly. I'd guess that this is because the actuators are springs and that springs do not open and shut in a switch like fashion, but begin to open partially before peak boost is arrived at and then leak from there on. I'd welcome comments to clarrify this.

I've got some -7 tubs to fit to my R32 GTR that have standard wastegate actuators on them. Let's say they're set for 10 psi for the sake of discussion. I'd like to be running more like 16-18 psi and am considering running an EBC after being very pleased with the results of fitting one to my other car. My question revolves around the relationship the EBC has with the mechanical wastgate actuator springs. Do I need to upgrade the actuators to suit 18psi or do I leave them as they are and let the EBC do it all for me? Or do you ideally need both done? Can someone explain how they interact and what will give the overall best result. I'd clearly rather not have to spend money on upgrading the actuators and an EBC if possible. If it's a choice between the 2, I think I'd prefer the EBC route. Cheers.

Hi Rob, I'll take the cam gears. I'm the bloke who called you this arvo. I'll call later to arrange the details.

er, so am I the one, or did I get race? Merry Xmas all.

Got mine today about 5 mins before I locked the joint up until the new year. I ordered race but no R on them. Perhaps you can clarify how else I can tell if I got what I've ordered. I ordered race.

Sold to me. Happy.

Finally got some.....cheers Jono.

You'd better let me know where and who you sell this to. Can't have my car's doppelganger lurking out there anonymously

Watching.

I'm not quite sure why you didn't just PM me....but it's Xmas and in the wider scheme of things it doesn't really matter and I'm feeling philosophical and you said sorry, so no hard feelings in the end eh. Merry Xmas.

Nice one......

Yep, unless these get away today they will go into the Xmas shutdown wasteland. Even today is stretching it but at least it's a courier and not the post. Can we have some confirmation of exactly when they left?

carn guys. Got to be something out there.

PM sent re dumps....

Nothing received at my end yet Pete. Can you confirm when they got away? Ta.

Heart = wants

Still searching. Took me less time to find true love....

Pete, please can you make sure the 'shit' has a tax invoice with it.....

It aint the car......I'm not sure how easy it would be to borrow that amount of money for that car. If it was a shit fighting BMW 1 series you'd have no problem because there is an established market and value for them. If you can't borrow it then you've got to come up with the cash and who has that kind of cash sitting around after all life's other expenses. I guess you could borrow the market value of a stocker and pay the difference in cash? That amount on an import will still not be easy.... I've got 2 R32 GTRs leased through my business and the leasing companies we go through always hit me up with high rates and fees etc as they just do not like lending against this kind of stuff. We lease 30 vehicles and a lot of equipment and still they baulk. That said, you'll find someone, I just think they might be a rare breed. Larverly car.....I'd buy it in a flash but I'd have to ditch my wife and family for it.......
