Ok just got a quick question that i want answering because i have asked a few ppl and no one knows what the hell this thing is for. Im pretty sure it's not really important and at first i didn't really care. However my curiousity is starting to get to me and i want to know what this is! :laugh:

So lets play GUESS THIS PART!

What the hell is this thing in the HKS GT-RS kit?? I fitted the whole kit and it runs beautifully, but this part wasn't used and no where in the jap instructions does it say what it's for. So any one know or care to take a guess? I was thinking some sort of heat shield thing?

Pretty sure its the heat shield that goes over the orange silicon hose.

Search for a kit installed and you should see what i mean.

ahhhh!! That actually sounds correct, looks to be the same size as the hose aswell. I think you are right, hahaha what a stupid part :yes:

Thanks man, my curiousity is gone now :blink:

Thanks man, it looks sexy as in the car. Here's a pic of it all installed. I got the kit off of nengun and it was around $2500 delivered, so a very good price in my books.

I'm still running it on the stock ECU (I know, i know i need a ECU!), but it runs ok on it. Comes on boost really early and pulls hard, sounds absolutely unreal! Really loud spool/whistle sound, i love it! But yeah i wanna get a power FC for it soonish if i can get my hands on one, then the fun will begin :blink:

Stock injectors and AFM at the moment. I havnt had the car dynoed since the new turbo so ur guess is as good as mine to what it would make. Ill probably get a SAFC for now and see how far i can push that. The next performance step is to go a Power FC and injectors but like with most mods, money is holding me back for the time being.

Yeh i know what you mean!

Ive got around 200rwkw but am considering a turbo upgrade, but its all the stuff that has to go with it that is holding me back - pfc, injectors, afm, clutch - it all adds up so quickly!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
