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.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
