McRen,

If this is for fun then ok. If I just misunderstood your post and aggravated you then sorry lets start again.

What do you drive?

The black MR2 is supposed to be pretty quick but I've never seen it run. I know it's had a lot spent on it.

FWIW I go along with those who recommend Rodney Howell but I haven't personally used him. I know he's a good bloke with a good reputation. The MR2 looks pretty trick from what I've seen.

Specialist also have a good reputation but again I haven't used them. Boccino's have done good work on a previous car for me but I don't know how many Japanese cars they do, I think they're more European oriented (correct me if I'm wrong anyone).

I currently use the business I use because I've been friends with the owners for a while.

Tim.

Regarding the gearbox thing.

I have broken 2 or 3... or 4 gearboxes in the WRX. <8-(

Hopefully that's fixed now.

Nissan and Toyota seem to have managed to make decent strength boxes so I don't know why it's taken so long for Subaru.

Has anybody on this forum used the Apexi Power FC on a Skyline? If so do you have an English manual for one (R33 GTR would be nice)? I have one for an RX7 but I assume there may be some differences in the software that may be of interest.

Tim.

The mate with the skyline is a guy from motors his car is a red and silver skyline r30. he bought it from a guy at mole creek and the only problem is its an auto. Only mod is a podfilter. Their are now three skylines parked outside motors 2X R30 and 1X R31.

Cheers lavers

Thanks for the reply on the Apexi Manual. I have tried there but can't seem to get to a manual for the controller. It shouldn't be a problem, the RX7 one is a great help anyway. I'll have two Japanese people staying with me in a week so I'll ask them to translate for me. :-)

I should be getting the Apexi installed on the GTR in the next few days.

It was nice to meet you Wogboy. Nice car and a great result!

The intercooler setup is a credit to you. Makes me wish I wasn't so lazy.

Yeah, pretty pumped. Saw quite a few R33 GTST's while in Hobart , 3 white ones, 2 wine red ones and one black one. Did any of these belong to you guys? It was good to have a yarn to you Roaldin, I could spend all my time fidling with my R33 (though the Missus disapproves) Hope to catch up again someday.

Wogboy

Sorry guys, I have been very busy lately and therefore was not able to get on the fourms to moderate.

Mcren, this forum is meant for peaceful chat between people with a mutual interest: cars. I am not one to supress friendly rivalry or different opinions, but your intentions are clearly inflammatory. Keep it inoffensive thank you, so we can all enjoy the forum.

Nizmokid, look in your PM box, as I have sent you a message re your reply.

Have fun.

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
