Yes your ceramic turbo lost its wheels... :no:

Not his GT30 that he fitted 4 weeks ago... and he said before that theres no smoke... so i assume it can't be that severe.. well he hopes not anyways

I fitted my GT3076R 2 weeks ago next tuesday... im loving it.

Nice one matey, at least you worked it out. Bet when you saw that, you felt both relieved and really dumb at the same time :no:

Do your intercooler pipes have a lip on them? if not, you may want to get one made, otherwise, everytime you hit high boost, it'll pop the pipe off

lol i felt more then dumb and it wasnt hanging to far off, just pulled the bumper off, went down to bunnings to buy a hose clamp and fitted it and all fixed, man was it a relief took it for a drive down the beach and everything is good !!

Thank god we helped you sort that problem out....

lol @ boost no work in neutral

hahaha :no: golden

hey guys not long ago my clutch has been getting bad, and as i was driving it changing from 2nd - 3rd it felt like a a big slip ever since then my car cant seem to boost? i tried it before reving it in neautral and cant boost at all ? any ideas on whats happening ?

cheers sam

your car isnt like the ones in thse jap draag movies lol.

Cruise generally you'll find that a narrow clamp will bite into the hose more because it has less area of the hose to compress - trade off of hose life because given enough force it can cut the hose clean through if the clamp is narrow enough .

Same old song - have a read of Corky Bells Maximum boost , he shows how some race apps have tags welded to the plumbing and some flexible eg wire means of resisting the pipe spreading through internal boost forces . Doing things this way means the clamps workload is reduced to sealing the hose and pipe/duct , not stopping the pipes bolwing appart .

Cheers A .

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
