No one? I am sure I saw it, I think it started as a custom plenum thread, and then a member was commenting on fitting and tuning with the RIPS plenum currently.

i dont think anyone would rewire the "whole" car for $800 from scratch including new wire, even reusing the old connector housings. Maybe debug and repair a section like the EFI harness or Dash harness. The car would have and engine main, EFI, dash, floor, boot, both doors and roof harnesses. It would be a months work to remove all that, and re do it. I would have though finding the chopped harness would have been pretty easy if you were looking for reasons behind your harness bursting into flames.

depends on the impedance of your "kenwoods". On paper it should run well. In practice it will only be as good as the build of your subs, the amp and the install.

I wouldnt even walk into a strathfield, let alone leave my car with them and pay them to touch it. When I was 18 and had my first car I had one install done by them, just amp connection and cable supply as mentioned above, was $140 and i redid it all myself properly within a month. Never again. I should thank them I guess, seeing how badly "professionals" did it gave me the confidence to do it myself for the first time and i have never looked back.

I dont think that is the best argument to base a turbo purchase on. I am sure that has more to do with japanese buying japanese product. Trust/Mitsubishi is low tech compared to HKS/Garrett but very effective in there own right.

IMHO noise filters are band aid fixes just masking the problem which is still there. Any car audio noise problem can be fixed without them. Its obviously noise introduced to the external amplifiers as the head unit amp is not showing any noise in the rear fill. My bet is that the RCAs are simply too close to the power cables at some point along the car introducing high frequency alternator noise into the RCA signal. A photo of the install may shed some light.

I think my RB30DET was 230kgs according to shipping

This is what I would try in order: Make sure the RCAs are not crossing the power cables anywhere in the boot (even close to the amps), this is difficult when running 2 amps. Just unfasten your cables and move them by hand away from each other and listen if the noise increased or decreases. Hopefully you dont have excessively long RCAs. Use the same earth point for the amps. Buy some twisted pair RCA cables, the $20 blue ones from jaycar will do.

Wasnt there a thread very recently regarding fitment and tuning with the RIPS plenum? I have searched and its vanished?

i cant see GT3540 in his list. Have a look at the huge results of the 3037 thread in this forum and make your mind up on that. I have a GT35 for my 3.0, but i would lean toward it being too big for a 2.5

Use the search button, there are hundreds of posts regarding ice performance and race pace.

0.5 front GT35 in the garrett pdf lists this as an option. I havent seen mine in the flesh yet as i am overseas but i will be sure to give a full report in December.

Doesnt sound the best. be interesting to compare charts? I have this plenum too as I wanted a front facing T/B for bonnet clearance issues on my RB30DET.

Is there an effective way to measure the air flow to each cylinder?

They are more than $1400 brand new. I just bought one at a good price, yet to fit in on my RB30DET yet. Keep and eye on these for sale forums and also calaisturbo, and trading they do pop up in all three from my epxerience

see what a service i just provided? Anyways I am packing up and moving closer to Nagoya and Toyota city this weekend for one month, hopefully more to do over there!

Can you clarify your pricing. I think perhaps some editing has gone on because one poster was reading a price for the box alone. Thanks.

Coincidently I went up to Lake Yamanako on Monday of the long weekend last week. It was a very boring bus ride which some internet site advised as the best way from my shinkansen line but it was quite nice once there. Just my luck Mt Fuji was hardly visable due to clouds no thanks to the 2 typhoons I have been dodging. The hardest part about it all is no car i suppose, so I always arrive late and have to leave early to make sure i get my last local JR home.

Oh ok, a colleague of mine is having a bitch of a time doing it, having to get transcripts from vicroads declaring he had an australian license for 2 years or more, then once finally getting it they woudlnt except it in english untranslated. Maybe he was unlucky.

TNT always worked out the cheapest for me, I have done a few cars

To those of you in Japan, where are you all? Sorry if there is a dedicated thread, but I can see it. Personally I am near Hamamatsu in the Shizuoka area. I am finding its a very interesting country however being here alone and not particularly enjoying kareoke as do some of the older japanese i work with, i spent most of my time bored out of my mind. I have done some exploring to Tokyo and to Mt Fuji, but running out of ideas.

i have been in Japan for a month now and if you dont speak Japanese, pointing and gestures are your next best best, followed by English. International license is valid for 3months I beleive but after that you need a local license which required evidence that you have held an Australian license for two years and other various mountains of red tape.

Well, one thing that saved me a hell of a lot of time is sandblasting. My car was prepped and primed within a morning, but there was also the month i slowly took to disassemble the whole car.

PM me if you are willing to negotiate. Thanks

I`ll offer $1200 for the box, tailshaft and slave with pick up let me know your thoughts thanks
