Nismo mounts are not stiff by any means. Definitely get one of those braces.

No i only have opinions on it. Allegedly lot of issues using steel 1 piece; the aluminium shaft can be better for a few reasons.

Try Alpha Omega, and use one of their 1piece aluminium shafts.

I dunno dudes...bit of work to do it with engine in, but still alot less work/time than pulling the engine. Would do it again engine in if all i was doing was the sump, oil pump etc.

really, did you do a post-mortem to see what happened to it? Too many powerz, or you think the newer boxes are cheaper/weaker built?

it's a service button. Automatically drops the engine and gearbox out when doing a major service; the icon is a warning to stand clear. Wouldn't press it if i was you.

got to say, they are a fairly noisy box IMO . Still hear alot of operating noise from mine even after the full rebuild, but have come to love it 😛

anyone else playing/played this? During covid lockdown i got into ps3 then ps4 with a G29 wheel and race seat/rig and now am pretty much addicted lol. ACC is the best/real-est game i've played (ie, fkn harrrd to master) but the sound is absolutely amazing with a soundbar and subwoofer behind the seat. G29 settings feel ok after tweaking, but if others have played, curious to know what settings you use.

Thought there was some sort of a pressure relief/bypass valve for cold start etc when too much pressure at filter? In which case if you were just idling, maybe still getting enough flow? On the other hand i could be thinking of a different engine..

Will be fine. My bearing kit came with some sealed to replace what were open - no issues.

Thats not a stock turbo, no not a stock fitting.

only thing is, in compressor and turbine design it's the minute differences that make the difference. Maybe only the final 10% or so, but that's the difference. I'm not knocking it, and paying 40% for something that achieves 90% of the result of the same is a win, but i think that's where the difference lies. And why you'd pay the extra for the genuine, if trying to achieve the 100% result.

indeed. Also relevant. Would appear at least it hasn't blown up lol.

lol chill dude, i thought we were all good 😛 ...nothing wrong with a difference of opinion on some points. That one wasn't about you, there's loads of people on here and other forums that put that sort of shite out there. And at the end of the day, or even around lunchtime, people can have their own opinions, and will no doubt have bad experiences with china gear, same as every other country of manufacture.

Sssshhhhh...people don't like hearing good experiences about hee-chang dimsim Ip Man buk-choy (insert other redneck adjectives) products, they prefer to operate off their own opinions based on ...well, their opinions. But firsthand relevant experience is relevant, good to know 👍

I had the same issue, but couldn't get to any of the nuts. Ground the crap out of the socket, luckily mine didn't break.Then bought a cpl of superslim sparkplug sockets; they only fitted on the middle studs - still wounldn't fit at either end, very tight fit alright...the ground-down socket barely fits and only fits in one position. Thats with tomei cams.

i understand some people are scared of cheaper chinese made/branded stuff, but seriously, gotta say....25 psi and 8000rpm on the max rods, shitty P98 is far more of a concern for me than the rods are. option A - buy a max turbo from ebay for $179 delivered, at your doorstep in 4 days, put it on in about an hour, drive happy-fun times while your other turbo is away being rebuilt for a few weeks. Have said turbo to then keep as a spare in the event it's needed again. Don't buy a $200 turbo if you're wanting to build a performance machine or make serious HP. option B - drive around looking at cars for $1000 - while you're without a car, mind you - find a sh1tbox that's unlikely to pass roadworthy at that price, fix up, $$, and get said roadworthy/pay rego/transfer fees of $500+, get insurance, more $$ - then fk around for weeks trying to resell alleged vehicle once you're done with it...losing $500+ and lot of time/effort in the process rather than $179. Wow...no not a great choice. I actually looked at that option in the same situation and did the math and thought, u fkn kidding me, no way. And, there's nothing i hate more than people posting saying " WE this, WE that" . It's an assumption that people speak for me, or anyone for that matter, as we all make up the 'we" on here, but I make up my own mind, i don't need anyone to speak for me. Once again, and time and time again, each to their own choice, more than 1 way to skin a cat, everyone's circumstances and opinions warranting different choices. Blah blah blah

Cos " know that these turbos might get a bit of hate as its a budget turbo but comparing it to the stock rb25, rb20 or neo turbos on the market and their price, these turbos are perfectly good and great for bolt ons" if you want a serious turbo then dont spend 200 bucks lol, but for the price, i did find mine to be great.

Everything suspension related. Seriously, it all matters.

Had about 3.2 deg neg camber on modified setting. No adjustment bushws, so with those, getting close to 4 deg.

You can drill/tap the cusco arms to make another setting and get a little more neg camber.

"Hard lines" - any brake place should be able to make up what you need. Get the right size steel line, bend to make the same contours, put on the end fittings then double flare the tube.

Yes.. i am intrigued by this crafts business you speak of 😛 welcome, and looking fwd to hearing more.

there's critical, there's important, and there's idiocy.
