Friend of mine works for GPA engineering. Local consulting firm that deals quite a bit with Santos, SA Water, Zinifex etc. Based locally with a fair bit of site work. Could be another good option, as sometimes the big companies you listed tend to forget you're a person, and think you are just a cheap resource :thumbsup:

haha yeah i say that to my mum, i tell her to go bother the other

kids, but it doesn't work.

yeah i'm not too fond of kids, just depends on how they act really

like my bros mate (who's living with us) has a 2yo, gets him every

2nd weekend, he drives me crazy, i can't stand to be around him.

speaking of kids a family friend of ours had a baby boy yesterday

argh more boys, why can't they have girls so i can spoil them with

care bears and strawberry shortcake stuff :thumbsup:

lol I got up because i couldn't sleep. Tossing and turning thinking about exh manifold and dump pipe design that i'm about to start welding.

Then started to think about what o2 sensors the gtr's run as I'll be dropping a rb26 pfc in to my r32 (I sold the old ap engineering one off). So off I go googling. :thumbsup:

Just wait until you have kids.. Once they get old enough to start giving a little back its awesome.

Best thing I've ever done. lol

My little boy is almost 2.5years and is already a little rev head lol. Rides his bike with trainer wheels making broom noises while he leans back and pedals as fast as he can. If I have to accelerate a little hard to merge in to traffic or what not I hear from the back... "burn daddy burn" lmao I have no idea where he picked up the burn from. When I'm working on the car he's already a great tool hand. Knows what a hammer, screw driver and a heap of other tools are. Its amazing what they learn.

You learn to turn off to the tantrum crying etc.. Apart from tantrums kids don't cry for no reason; well ours doesn't. :thumbsup:

I think we've been lucky though; no collic, no allergies, no issues burping or with wind. So pretty much a perfect baby thats now very quickly became a little independent "no I don't want to daddy" cheeky chops.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      Admittedly in that screenshot its doing about 13psi but later on in the log theres definitely spikes to 16. What is missing though is the massive peak, then a big drop and then a recovery. While it does go a little higher than I would like on base pressure, I think it's reasonably safe to assume that boost control via the mac valve should be a lot easier to control from here on out. I wasn't game to hook up the mac valve today as it's very wet and it's on the verge of fighting traction as it is.

      I think this is still wrong. There is something crappy with wastegate priority (or the f**king absence of it) if you can't get below nearly double the base spring pressure. But if you're happy with what you've got, upload skid vids now.

      So a further update for this one. Turbosmart were very gracious and took one look at the wastegate and said this is our original version, we will just replace the entire thing and send it back to you. So I fitted the new wastegate with its new revisions and took it around the block on spring pressure (9 psi spring). Appears the minimum it will do is about 16psi. Keep in mind this is only 2nd and 3rd gear pulls. I think the issue is fixed compared to what it was doing before however I'm happy to provide more logs if anyone thinks theres more to the story to uncover
