lol for a second there i thought you said "ill buy you a six pack of your troubles" :)Never knew sadness could be bottled.

Sure it can, it's mixed with a healthy dose of happiness in every bottle with an alcohol content :)

Sometimes the happiness is the dominant emotion, sometimes the sadness shines through, it's part of the fun of drinking :down:

Also, YAY for Chad :(;) I'm the blue sil, second car in frame on that vid :D the cam didn't seem to capture the savageness of the Bee*R very well though :D

I just hills tested my new Yellow Jacket coilpacks that I fitted late this afternoon... my god the car drives so smooth its awesome - I cant remember the last time the car driven this well! :)

hey Vu good work hey.

makes the car a pleasure to drive eh

still falling all over back in love with my stag, still, since the 240rwkw tune.

got injectors ready to drop in and retune, just no money tho.

as it is, 2ft flames outa the pipe probably isnt a good thing :down::)

oh yeah, rev limiter - mines been bumped UP by 750rpm I think, from 6500 to 7250

yeah i remember when i chucked in the splitfires....noticed a nice difference in how smooth the car was running

they will always feel better than old, genuine parts. if anyone was silly enough to buy brand new genuines, im sure they would provide the same return.

this is the first car ive owned that ive paid more than 6 months rego on at a time...........its a lot in one hit but at least you dont have to worry about it for 12 months i spose.

for those that may have seen the status update, i might be onto something of a plate idea (contrary to dave's RCHAROUND idea)

oh damo, how'd ya get on about those lights?

Rego went up in price... very nice. 3 months is now $196 / 12 months is $735....

Well at least they are doing something with it, I drove down the freeway on satdy where the upgrade had been completed recently and it was pretty nice.

Loby road got a bit of work in the first half of the year also, along with a few other troublesome patches of macadam around the hills, so at least they're using SOME of the cash for it's intended purpose.

Still gonna sting a bit when rego for the sil is due in about a month :)

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
