No, my goal is to run a 12 even if its a 12.99. No point in trying to compete with a GTR.

Mate you want the biggest internal gate GT30 you can grab. Think Grant does a very good one or buy the HKS GT3037 second hand from JapMotorsport. Get the fueling system sorted as well.

With 400HP @ the motor you will spank the GTR's running std turbos. I'd say 11's with a little bit of mucking about.

before you get too excited adrian this workshop has done some excellent work. a few of my mates have had things fabricated by them and have had no problems

altho i agree that this case its a bit rediculous with the cooler cracking which is quite pathetic. im not making excuses or anything but dont judge the whole workshop and spread bad rumours based on this one case

All is good the shop in question gave me a full refund in CASH so today i orderd a Sub Zero Intake Planium with billet fuel rail and i think he said it was a 90-100mm Throttle Body and a new cooler of MR Mayhem tonight. Now i have to take my factory Planium off and send it to QLD and dont have clue on how to do it anyone want to help :P i need to get it off ASAP

I agree with what adam said, they are still good shop in perth even soem people disagree with it. fair enough, this should not happned when killerT 1st installed the damm cooler.

but as it all turned out good. dont let this roumer spoile another performance shop in Perth!

cheers

Good news Adam - good to see that the guys you were dealing with had enough business sense to call it a day & refund your money.

Sheet mate - only thing holding you back now will be your hiflowed turbo cos everything else will be upgraded to the max.

Good luck pal - can't wait for you to take me for a spin once the work is done.

I hear Macka is a really good with his tool, so maybe he can help you:)

What about our r31 brethren? Are we yet again not good enough? Pfft!

And PVA why are they still a good workshop? Im not really impressed with the work said welder has done on my cars. PVA's cooler seems to be the rule rather then the exception.

Geeze even my 500 dollar cut up truck core has done a 12

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
