My situation is complicated at the moment, I've got an adapter plate for a 38mm wastegate but i'm starting to think the 38mm gate isn't going to be big enough. So im currently looking around at either another manifold to suit a bigger gate or mod my manifold...or bite the bullet and get the 38mm gate and take the risk.

The lower you want to run the boost the larger you want the wastegate to be. Judging on my mate's setup with the same turbo i will need a bigger gate.

hmmmm, i bought a new fish on saturday, he's a big boy, bout 17cm long

he is harrassing my females hardcore, there the same size as him but fuuk, hes rough!

anyone with a cold tank want him? i paid 15 bucks for the prick, he was a trade in from another customer, i now know why.

I think the r32 is more lenient with a slight difference as that example was what Dan was running on his gts4 and it was confirmed by willal that this is ok

It still will eventually cause problem with 32's but not as quickly as 33's and 34's as they run a mechanical 10% preload all the time (that is why you can't just pull a fuse in the later models). with the 32 it will still cause the clutches to burn out but the wearing will only occur when the ATESSA is activated, hence why it won't happen as quickly as the later models.

I was watching this thing lastnight on Animal Planet about "Demonic Apes". God it was interesting. This place called Gombi or something where all these Chimpanzee's live, they actually eat more meat than fruit and veg. And there was the leader "Frodo" who was the most violent out of all of them and he actually abducted a baby and mutilated it, tore its skin off its face and all this.

There were scientists saying that he has a common link between him and us, calling it the demonic male syndrome. Where they think that fighting and murder is okay.

They were also showing Frodo attacking other Chimps and they said that he was actually enjoying it because he knew he was inflicting pain on the other chimp.

It was very interesting to watch. Just shows how much we think we know about things, but in reality, we're totally in the dark about it.

+1

And the clutches aren't cheap to buy or fit.

Yeah no shit hey. Just put 10" on a GTR and don't be a nancy, right Adrian?

I thought my wheels hung outta the guards abit, Adrian your cars a joke! Flared guards man!

    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
