Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Ok well in easy to understand terms.

I push the power button on, the fans start up and the keyboard lights up for a second, then goes out. The mouse doesn't light up. There's no beeps like there usually is, just the noise of fans spinning.

I've unplugged the screen at the back and a message comes up saying connect back up, but the light next to the screens power button keeps flashing.

Could be a few things.

1. GPU (Video Card)

2. Mobo

3. Ram - unlikely, but i have seen stranger things.

spend the day 'installing' krish's new turbo. bit of a head f**k.

only 3 out of 4 of the nuts for mani-turbo studs would screw on because one kept fowling on the housing, so thats off to be machined this week, and the wastegate design sucks. flap opens about 5mm before it fouls, so ive taken it to andrew and it looks like itll be getting the internal blanked off, and an adaptor for extrernal gate made up.

anyone got any hookups for tial 44mm gates?

I was gonna sms him and ask him how you guys went, but you just summed it up for me. Lucky he has a daily...unlike me, but i am due for a bit of a holiday. My upgrades should be getting done soon, say 1-3 weeks. I am going to go through Horsepower In A Box, as it is just round the corner from my work...sort of.

it went alright. had a few moments where we were missing a few odds and ends, but it went pretty smoothly until those 2 issues popped up. wouldve been about a 4 hour turnaround. with any luck he'll have it back on the road within 2 weeks.

negatory. no split dump. kinda hard to explain, but theres another piece that bolts to the back of the turbine housing that holds the wastegate flap and has the vband for the exhaust flow on it, problem is this section is shallow for the wastegate flap to properly open.

I know what yoru talking about, it's a shit design i can't see how you can't get boost spiking with that setup.

What turbo is he using?

Hey Dale, are these the guages you use?

Yeah thats the gauges that i use, if you want a set matt can get them through his business.

its garbage. i was expecting a few things to be not quite right, but thats just shit.

its a hypergear tr28 or some such. part of it is sitting on my desk, half of it is at krish's place, the rest of it is at am performance waiting for krish to give the ok to fix it.

and on the topic of gauges, ill be speaking to you soon about a couple oil gauges.

So who's good with computers? My home comp won't load anything. You turn the harddrive on but it just looks like it not doing anything, only thing moving is the fan :( . The light on the screen just keeps flashing so it looks like it's not loading the hard drive arr help plz

i have tomorrow off if you want to bring it over, I'll sort it out

on other news, go rear ended today on the way home from writeoffs place

chick decided to step on the gas when the lights went green - i think she assumed i was going to gun it ;P looks like minor damage only (paint and one of the plastic clear reverse light covers) but won't know for sure till my mechanic gets a decent look at it - went straight to holden hill to report it - cop there was cool as, told me about his xr6 turbo and came out to scope the car - said I had nothing to worry about as far as defects was concerned, which is great news (considering thats my aim) and also said that I'd got a nice example and was good to see someone taking care of their ride >:) *thumbs up to holden hill branch*

Abe I'm 99% sure it's the video card. It stuffed up about a yr ago, replaced with a second hand one where the fan wasn't working properly for it.

Any idea where to get a basic video card from? Don't use the comp for games etc so just need a basic one.

Cheers.

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.

      Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
