I have always respected Willo and hoped he would make wise decisions in life - now be a good dad, and organise a ride in one for him
I was actually up @ 8am (now I've quit my job, normal hours have returned), had a morning appointment
If all your "short trips" are less than 5mins, then that's of little surprise given the car is on cold start the entire time.
Otherwise it's as simple as the tune or something related to that - is up the creek.
Or you just need to learn to drive more economically.
It can only be those really.
I doubt it's the coilovers or Ferodo brake pads causing the problem.
More than enough info around about N1 pumps for people to decide themselves. It generally is not the actual pumps fault.
Driver/treatment, collar installation/overall balancing & tuning - all have a bearing on if they will last or not.
How would the expense prevent it?
It would greatly reduce the policing costs, not eliminate as people would still try and cheat in the clean leagues, but just factor into the contracts 400k payments if caught with a list of banned substances, would soon fix that shit right up and make sure the people that are clean - stay clean.
Factory boost level?
If so you'd only expect around 140rwkw or so, and the auto will suck about 10k off that. So a problem yes - most likely as stated around the timing of the CAS, or the actual cam belt being off a tooth as well causing issues (also common).
Interesting article Markos. I wouldn't say controversial though, logical if anything realistically.
What is your void on steroids overall though however? I think that's where more of the distinction is made for most people with the old for/against/indifferent
Is that the same Jack that Supercheap & similar had for around $220?
If so - if you use it a bit it will shit itself. A workshop here in VIC got 2 - both shat themselves, replaced, same thing again lol. Just not worth the hassle of taking back for warranty in the end.
For irregular use would be ok though.
lol good thing when i purchased the GTR it didn't have 360rwkw then isn't it?
It also didn't have brakes, suspension, diff x2, larger turbos, ECU, injectors and that's just what i can remember
