That doesn't work - In Victoria you can only keep nominating someone else back/forth for a certain period and then you'll get a letter stating basically that enough is enough, and as owner of the car it's your responsibility.

Well it's been put out there in 10 pages of the thread that already covers this http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/341192-cant-edit-posts/ Thanks.

Exactly, its already cheap. The dealer wont have to wait.

Yes i think any guides could fall into a sticky in the DIY section. There really is not the volume of topics covering wiring conversions for a dedicated section IMO.

Sorry common sense, you are not sensible enough. It's there for a reason. It will not change, end of discussion in 2009.

All I know so far is they are 4 GT2860's made into 2. Given Garrett don't sell the wheels separate to the cartridge for that series... So it gets very expensive quite quickly. When I find out more I'll update.

If you wanna discuss winning lines, the green one is winner, much fatter midrange with the extra boost.

It's not my problem if you don't know what you are selling. First post edited to reflect rules

Get some pics of where the gate is welded on etc also. Preferably "as mounted" so to speak for a point of reference.

Don't know. Mate of mine said mine was quite a bit more responsive than his, given our turbos are similar, we now know why. No doubt he'll get it fixed eventually. Could be 100 things.

read the forum rules, and update. or this will be locked. this isn't ebay.

Ah ok 33 drive - cool ill alter it then Point, no real point i guess. Just to see what varying setups look like @ what boost range. All the turbos are good for over 20psi without a problem on good motors, even the smaller ones even though they fall over a bit. But ye Noel, the -9 equipped car there and another -5 car (similar spec) had rolling runs a few times and from a off-boost and the -9 car was pulling ahead in the lower gears/speeds no problems. Id rather test that myself and video it

People can still then +1 each other simply for posting a pic about boobs. Now, im not against that, but in terms of someone posting something helpful/useful to the forum? Not really.

Ye, he is the mate/car i was telling you about. I won't be putting any larger displacement though. It's just for 2.6ltr's at this stage. What i will do though is get a mate of mine to touch the graph up in Photoshop to make the lines easier to see the lines. My boost curve for instance gets a bit lost with the power lines If someone could work out the RPM points @ the KM/h point, i'll add them in as well for easier reference.

It's already been abused in various sections of the forum. Sadly, people cannot use the feature with any measure of maturity. If we keep it, all its going to do is make work for Admin's having to reply to people that complain they are being rated down if they ask a silly question or whatever.

What I'll try to do as well in the future is get some video on road in various gears with 2-3 of the cars side by side @ the same time etc. That will further help to show the difference in response/pick-up that's hard to see on a loaded up dyno run etc. That could be a little whole though as a couple of the cars above don't exist in those setup's anymore. Especially -5 cars, both of those now have -7s on them.

This Thurs coming CS:S clearly wins first round. I will organise and post a thread later. 8:30pm start AEDT ok for people?

Ok so as promised, I have a heap of overlays. I'll explain it all as below. Common items/points - All cars are Racepace builds, of near similar specification. These will not alter results massively at all. - All using stock cams (except 517z car), similar head tidy up, RB26. - NO EBC's are being used, just the same modified actuator setup - All cars are run on the Racepace Dyno. Calibrations are the same except one graph where the boost reading is 50% less. Explained later. - All cars are run using the SAME set of 18's, with the SAME set of tyres on them (dyno wheels), and are all in RWD. - All tunes are track focused, they all run a slightly safer tune than a street tune normally would. - All cars run factory airbox, and at least 3.5" exhausts, stock exhaust manifolds, stock plenums. Most have factory dumps also - Most cars are R33 GTR's, stock drivetrain specs. There is one R34, so obviously some difference there Turbo Specification & other info I will just go in order, top to bottom. Dark Blue - Custom Racepace hybrid turbo's. I will find out specs later. (It's my car) Light Blue - Garrett -9 / boost control issues. Car has run 124mph @ Calder in this config. Green - Garrett -5. This motor is slightly different to all the others in terms of specs (ie, better) Red - Trust T517Z 8cm. On graph, boost is 50% less than it was. So just double it, sensor was not reading correcly. 260° 10.8mm lift cams Pink - Garrett -7 Black - Garrett -5 Comments: Once the -9 car's boost control is fixed, I'll get more plots. As you can see, the -7s and -5s spool almost the same on the dyno under load, however there is a noticeable difference when on the street that is not possible to show here. My custom turbo's however are rather crazy in terms of response, however they do fall over in upper RPM's harder than the others. I will get EVC6 just to see if there is not more that can't be done. Even 2psi extra as it falls off would make a huge difference. About all I can think of for now. Thanks to Chris @ Racepace for spending a good 45mins today going through over 100 graphs to find the correct/final results of cars. Some cars had over 300 runs in the database, so it took a while And Troy/(Roy) was down there hassling us to put RB20 graphs on there constantly

Read the FI Sticky. It has a link to "wastegate sizing", a fully detailed thread with plenty of information.

Ok I've got heaps of plots, will post in a separate thread shortly once i write it up (45-1hr)

In future ensure you use the search function - and basic logic. How can a 700hp turbo be more responsive than a 550hp one? Closed.

Been covered 5-10 times now in this thread, and not 4 posts up. Please read it

r33_racers post does explain his view with pressure in relation to motor clearance etc Aside from that - Drag cars are not neccesarily a good example. You rarely would take a 8/9 sec drag car up into the hills for a 10min squirt on a Sunday This is what daily drivers tend to do, it's certainly closer to track than it is to drag IMO (when you talk about a daily/street car), because lets face it - Nothing more entertaining than a nice bendy piece of road in a GTR/Skyline. 10 seconds is not the same as 10 mins. This is where oil pressure is certainly as important, if not more so. You'd need to talk with your engine builder and workout what the desired oil pressure should be in relation to use of the car, and the assembly of the motor itself.

Indeed, it has seen me defeat a lot of rubbish charges. 1. Because they were made up in the first place (the claims) 2. Given they were made up, there was a tough time falsifying any "proof", and believe you me, Police do flatly lie in court. See it against my person twice now. Hence I do agree pleading guilty is probably not the best course of action. But people are entitled to plead and make their own decisions so i stand by that. An interesting issue would be similar to the one where Police as recognised estimators of speed. The Speed camera operator would be a trained professional so any claims he makes (and yes, at times that’s all the are), would be held in good stead within the court. It would require intricate knowledge of the system to argue the point, and most likely a good lawyer. You could perceive that there is certainly some doubt within that photo, but it all comes down to the finer details – you’d basically need a cheesed off ex-employee of the operator or similar to give you the information you needed. Such information about restrictions, past experience/examples of flaws and so on are not easy to come by when one needs a good defence. The camera companies and Govt’s make sure of that. Not to say it isn’t there or cant be found… Which is time/cost/effort
