You still have those!? I might have to take them off your hands one day.

But 1st I need a clutch, front brake pads and rotors, a new head gasket and a new bonnet to stop the head gasket thing happening again.

why not try a new intercooler. I reckon the cooler fins on the standard cooler are too tight and greatly reduce airflow. I'm going to by an after market big f*cker and put it on..

Scotsman should buy them and come along. He needs the practice..

I've already got a big Trust intercooler - was on the car when I bought it. I'm sure the problem I have is getting air our rather than getting air in.

Plus I'm looking forwards to you being a guniea pig and telling me how your car goes at Winton now because last time I was there it was overheating central.

Hmm, interesting Aaron. Maybe I should remove my rear diffuser as well. Uncle Benno knows best.

Although when Ben was telling me I knew what he was saying about airflow, but it still doesn't make 100% sense to me how something at the back of the car can increase engine temps (other than the air resistance theory), but hey if it works why not!?

you may have just saved me a few bob... I am getting a nice bonnet soon, the diffuser is no longer on the front or rear and the motor is now perfect.

Winton is the testbed....

You blokes just need to de-tune to 400KW and you'll be right.

that my friend is an urban myth

also, I can honestly tell you, there is no performance difference between 9.5 in rims or 10.5 in rims or the 265s or 285s. I've run every combination and they are all the same...

I have someone that wants to pick them up tomorrow but if you want them I'll sell them to you instead.

I have heard you suggest this before. And i'm not 100% sure you are right or wrong, but from my own testing:

When I ran 255/40/17" on a 17x9, I thought I could feel much more movement especialy in the rear on turn-in at Winton and didn't feel comfortable with what the rear of the car was doing. Then I went to Winton again 2 weeks later with 245/40/18" on a 18x9 I instantly went three seconds quicker without touching anything suspension wise at all.

I don't think the jump in size from 17" to 18" could be the differnce I found here, I always put it down to the baggy tyre moving about on the 17" rim. For me I felt I had much more confidence in the car when cornering as it felt more direct with the 18" slightly stretched across the rim.

Draw your own conclusions....

I understand... It's always best to have an excuse not to come to a trackday. Just not coming looks soft !!!

I'd say what you experienced is a slight enlargement of the testicles. With the size differences I have tried, there isn't even a few 10ths in it...

i say yes, but my bank ballance says no. i need new semi slicks!

besides im proli not gonna do anymore track days not in the 4 door. im looking for 32 GTR, so i might just wait till i have that...

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
