Same stuff from autobarn, 4ply ThermalFlex, instead of $65+ at Autobarn, get it from JustJap via Ebay for around $25 a piece for a 2.5inch 90geree bend. (I got mine thru them off ebay, had it delivered fairly quickly).

I have 4 x 2.5inch-2inch reducers if you need some, but they are straight pieces not a 90degree bend..........

i'm getting there, give me a break fella's. (I guess things take time when you do things yourself to save money!) The hardest thing about putting this turbo on with the standard manifold is that the actuator fouls with the front compressor housing when trying to use the standard cooler piping! so u need to make up a new bracket!

Darren, i'm hoping that i have full boost before 4000rpm (14psimax) and i'm hoping that i won't need to redline past 7000rpm but i guess only time will tell, as soon as i have this actuator problem sorted i'll be going to see Sean!

Joel, Haven't got to the bottom of the problem yet, will do once everything is back on but one thing Andrew (sky30) did mention when he was down in Adelaide on the weekend was that my oil could have been a bit higher than what it was supposed to be and this caused the breathing probs! Have u got your new valve spring in yet?

Oh and to make thing worse now my daily driver is off the road with a blown diff so i have to drive the mrs's swifty around which is hard when i'm trying to pick up parts i need and she needs the car, arghhhhhhhhhhhh!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
