K so just wondering whether i should have fuses in ANTI SKID, PTC HEATER (which i think is only for 4wd), A/T IND( autotransmission fluid or smtn???) and INHIBIT

or not?

Also wondering if most HI-FLO panels are the same, i got a BMC branded one(cost about $20 more than the K&N) for like $100, down from $160, would that be the same hi-flow panel most people suggest you buy? Its like made in italy, where there HQ is based, and they design some of the air filtration systems on f1's supposedly

looks standard. EDIT: You'd have to measure the diameter of the pipe on the flange. Drop the cat-back section from the cat and measure. If you have a 3" exhaust, you'd think the cat was changed too. If not, change it!

anti-skid is for traction control. I think you only have that if you have an active diff. It's an option in R33's, dunno about 32's.

heater dunno

A/T would be for an auto I guess?

If it doesn't have fuses in it, and everything works with no warnings on the dash, then it's probably meant to be like that.

You could also check with a flashlight whether there are even metal contacts in the blank spots... although sometimes a common wiring loom is used across different models in the same range.

ohh ok cheers. Wasnt sure about the anti skid, i had heard that 32's were meant to have ABS and anti skid sorta sounds like ABS, that and when i lock my brakes up it certainly doesnt behave like it has. Oh well

Hmm hopefully i will drop the cat off tonight, although knowing my luck its been welded on and is impossible to take off. my exhaust is kind of bits and pieces of 3" pipe like quite a few other ones have, i guess the dealers do it so they can put the 3" system in as a sale point and if he was cutting corners i would guess its standard

Ill measure it tonight and post up here, thanks

Man.. I was tired that night. Anti-skid is ABS. Don't know what I was thinking (or not reading).

If you have ABS, you'll have an ABS module with pipes coming out of it on the drivers side near the firewall in the engine bay.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
