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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
