no but cost of parts alone i would say would easily be double my whole cars budget?

ud be supprised :ninja:

did 33 gts-t's come with a stocko water fed oil cooler mounted next to the oil filter?

they certainly do

it appears mine has one then.. on another note, jecs is the variable valve system they used on the old rb20 silver tops and the like isn't it.. ie they had one valve on the intake manifold closed and open it when the revs were right..?

RB20, what are they again? :)..sorry cant help u there :ninja:

well.. that's what i thought it was from memory, just pulled off my intake manifold and found it has a jecs solinoid underneath it.. wonder what it does, perhaps i should search but it's too late for that

ok... my 2 cents worth, Konrad....

take whatever quote "said workshop" give you with a grain of salt.... i had a printed quote from them, and they blatantly refused to honour it, carried out work on the car that was not authorised (as they have done in your case as well)

also, they really need to learn how to tune.... that tune is pretty atrocious, considering you have a PFC and paid them to tune it, i mean, come on! just look at those AFR's! they couldn't even tune the 'hump' out of it! :ninja:

The turbotech boost controllers are fine, and do not leak boost (that i have seen anyway) and are FAR superior to the GFB POS that they put on... again, a case of them saying that you need something, when you really don't, just to get a sale.

thats nice, pitty its not an Rb26 :ninja:

lol your rb26 obsessed, however it would have been better if it were. Although the turbo would have been to small imo. Regardless 26 or 25 it was still fun.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
