HKS intake manifold?

Not a Greddy one?

And I would at least take it and check the AFR's. If it's a Greddy like mine (well rip off version) then your changing the airflow into the engine, so it may or may not affect the tune. I had mine tuned after Plenum got installed, but I was running Power FC before this. Stock ECU is pretty safe with AFR's etc. Just get it checked out

my bad its a hks exhaust manifold haha

I would do work on other people's cars but have been f**ked over in the past and most people piss me off because they see my other projects i've done in the past then they go aahhh that's nice!!!! and want the same thing done to there ride then expect you to it on a shoe string budget and want it done yesterday. I'm sorry but they just ain't gonna fly with me my builds take months sometime years, if you want me to build a car your gonna have to have deep pockets and be committed. Plus it takes time away from my project cars so yeah couldn't be f**ked really doesn't pay well enough for me, rather do and overtime at work. But hey happy enough to help with advice and tooling and shit like that.

That's sort of what happened last weekend, Leon is pretty trusting- He finished the job after 4 hours on my comp rod bushings and told me to take it for a drive to make sure it was sweet. I could of easily f**ked off with the car and never seen him again, but i told him to come with me and i was happy so i paid up!

Not the sort of thing you would want to do anyway. Doing that to any business, will only end up costing you more. Only costs $80 to lodge a small claims case.

I got bitten tuning cars early on, hence why I have an ABN and do it more business like now. There are so many assholes out there that think they can just walk away without paying. I've always done a great job and never had a complaint so if someone tried to screw me, I'd take them through small claims just for the principle.

And continuing on from what Ben wrote, this is why I charge for my time. It's half of what all shops charge, but better, and more time and care is taken because I love doing it, and don't do it as my main job. Doing it for free or at too low of a price just gets you burned. And just for the record, all of the so called "mates" that promised services in return never came through. Point proven. People just take shit for granted. Or you get assholes that complain and spread bullshit stories because their eBay turbo that came with a fake 250rwkw dyno sheet only made 190rwkw at anything from 14psi to 24psi, and blame it all on the tuner. Not my problem, learn how to research, dont buy from a kebab shop owner, buy a real turbo.

If you get good service, don't complain, especially if you were dumb enough to but shit hardware.

Wasn't having a go at you Sean, just saying in general.

And i'm certainly not the sort of person that would do something like that!

Yeah Leon's just got an ABN i beleive, i am quite impressed with his garage setup too just thought i'd add that in there.

Also in the way of pricing, i would much rather pay $50 an hour to Leon that pay $115 an hour to Pedders when i don't know who the f**ks going to work on the car and they probably wouldn't fix it properly because they don't know my car AT ALL. All good man i completely agree with what your saying.

My Friend is selling his turbo, dump pipe, intake pipe and exhaust manifold if anyone is interested

Specs:

Garett Gt3037

6 Blade Compressor (The good one)

0.6 Surge slotted Compressor Cover (whistles)

HKS 0.82 Internally Gated Exhaust Housing

Extrusion Honed Standard RB25 Exhaust Manifold (Flows as well as a HKS)

3.5inch dump pipe

4 Inch Intake pipe

The guy is very reliable, and will not f**k you around.

Whole setup has only run about 3000-5000kms.

Made 310rwkw on 18psi, loads of torque and response.

Looking for $1700 ono

the 350z had black mags, probably 18-20 looked somewhat like VE club sport ones haha

You mean like those generic black rims with the silver outline around each spoke that every 2nd commodore owner has on their car? I would be ashamed if i had those on my Z!

Cheap shit cheese cutters they use, then they say i can spin the wheels in 4th sounding all cool and shit, then i say how wide are they? Reply: 235's What brand of tyre? Reply: Nankang. My ride on mower could spin them in 4th you f**kwit go buy some decent shit ffs!!!!! :domokun: f**king Falcodore drivers are retarded.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
