  1. If you decide to wreak, then I would be interested in suspension and also am sway bars if you got em
  2. s sport they are not ceramic or anything, so they should bite better than something standard, even with heat in them they are not special.
  3. yeah was tinking about doing a bleed of all the brakes maybe a good start, then go from there.
  4. Nah tyres are nothing special, bidgestone something, they are not race tyres or anything.
  5. how easy does the abs kick in???? I am struggling to even get that going.
  6. I just got my car going after 3 weeks sitting in the car port and I know there is always a build up of rust etc, but I have never been impressed with the performance of the std brakes, tonight I was really struggling to get the ABS to kick in, in the wet and pushing dam hard. What are other peoples like. I Would have thought R33gtr brembos to be much better than what they have been. I have endless pads in them as well. Any thoughts??????? the pedal is not soft and spongy ist really quite the opposite, on light braking they feel good but firm braking they are no good.
  7. you running a PFC then more than likley your problem in the R32/33 GTR power fc, do a search but I have found no solution to many peoples problem.
  8. Which ones as I dont think its the GTR all round is it??? (gtr front R33 gtst rear) what are people running and 24mm solid up front and 22 solid rear, also read that pineapple are also good, what about other bushes???? havent seen the state of mine yet but would think at 120k they cant be like new.
  9. cheers, I know the housing is very restrictive, the overlap just looks to be a poor design and though opening it up would improve responce and flow if it were matched to the ex port.
  10. When I pulled my turbos off I noticed where the exhaust manifold matches up to the head that it doesnt really mat up properly, I have a dremel tool and was thinking about smoothing the area over and opening up the exhaust manifold runners???? the turbos going in are not much bigger than stock, is it worth it of waste of time????? you can see in the pic the overlapping
  11. just wanted to know what the limit of the std R33 gtr clutch is????? mine started to slip on the dyno the other day and want to know if I should upgrade or leave it in. Car made 254awkw then they wound the boost up a little and at about 265awkw started to slip, happy to keep it at clutch non slip point around 250awkw and leave it there for the time being and wait for the next step of mods to upgrade the clutch say in about 6 months time. will it hold??? Car is not driven hard often and never launched hard either.
  12. Yeah I just had my car retuned after I installed new turbos, and hit 254awkw which I am happy with however any more power and the clutch slipped, + turbo seal is rooted (great have to take em out send them off) anyway long story short is when mine goes I will bet a Jim berry as Ive only head good things. cheers
  13. tried blowing compessed air through the intake piping today took off AFM and blocked one and put pvc end with bike valve in it. Did find a small leak where the boost gauge is linked into, havent started the car yet however I dont think its going to be my magic bullet. Now if I run air through there should it pressurise the sump as I pulled the dipstick out air gushed out???? Any other options????? Ideas??????
  14. pulled both BOV off and both seemingly worked ok. could blow compressed air through to the BOV and see if they hold boost I think thats my next step to blow air through and see if there is a leak anywhere. Should have done this earlier. I only installed turbos in my car recently so I am not sure if its related. I should have a new boost controller on the way soo however I dont think its the issue as i have pulled the hose to the actuator off to see how it holds boost and it was still doing it. Also just blocked the PCV valve and no love.....
  15. Anyone??? Please
  16. the BOVs are being fed from under the plenum there is a box type thing attached to the block, its fed the factory location I take it never had an issue with it before. It would have to be engine side of the butterflies. Spent this afternoon pulling the front bar off and BOV's changed the lines to going to the BOV's. cleaned the BOV's. pulled AFMs off and intake box checked all connections cant find anything. the car has been blowing white smoke latley (oil) and can smell it, dont know if its related or if I overfilled the oil when I topped it up a few weeks ago, I am stumped????????? and getting frustrated. What about a head gasket????? What else should I be looking for, I havent changed the BOV line going into the engine yet as its a bitch to get to however it seems ok.
  17. Also can feel power cutting away from the car when its happening, like a hiccup.
  18. Hey guys I am still having this issue tonight I removed the air filter to see if intake pipe was sucking shut (its not) You can really hear the BOV leaking back into the engine I had a look at the hoses and they seem fine. When building boost it sounds like machine gun fire with the BOV venting back to the engine which makes me think it related to the BOV. If I have it in a tall gear and floor the car and boost will rise and fall and you can hear it getting vented, Now I would have thought if it were leaking from a hose to outside the engine then it will run rough and miss and splutter. So is it possible one of my BOV is stuffed and leaking????? The car will run full boost fine however. Cheers
  19. Well disconected the acutator, and its still doing it its either a leaky BOV or the wategate opening?? anyone know any tests to check. I have a little compressor which I can run into the wastegates. How can I check to the BOV's????? it doesnt seem to be doing it whilst on full boost and will hold 14psi all the way(however it still could be leaking just cant tell) however its when building or maintaining boost it seems to fluctuate???
  20. its the std actuator.
  21. Currently having some boost issues, what seems to be happening is on light boost the gauge seems to be waving so if I am driving along and take my foot off the pedal and try and level out the boost to say sit at 3700 the gauge will not sit at say 0.5 bar it will surge from say 0.3-0.5 like the boost gauge is waving at me. You can hear the BOV hiss and close and hiss and close. The turbos recently got replaced with steel wheel items , and boost seems to build alot slower than what it used to considering they are pretty much stock but steel wheel. when I changed the turbos also changed the wastegates as they came with the turbos. running stock boost controller as well. Full boost by maybe 4k???? Now I believe my problem to be related to either BOV leak wategate problem boost actuator or slipt in one of the lines going to BOV, wategate or boost controler What I was think about doing is pulling the hose off the boost controller and seeing if it will hold boost better and faster spool up (obviously not floor the car = unlimited boost) Anyone help me??????
  22. R33 gtr turbos you mean? exactly the same. Different from R33 gtst though
