(i have added the same post under 'general maintenance')

i am looking for replacement boots for my handbrake & gear shifter - preferable leather OR if not leather then i'd be happy to change just the handbrake boot in the factory vinyl so it matches the gear shifter.

where can i source this? i have searched all over the forum

regards,

I got a pair from a seller on eBay in England. Real leather and your choice or colour scheme (i chose white and black). Name was Mr Gaiter but no longer registered user, pretty sure he is on there with a different name, foudebuzi or something

Here you go, this is the one you want.

Gaiter boots

I got these and they are very good quality.

Just make sure you specify exactly what car it's for and what colour leather and if you want the logos or not.

EDIT: Damn, just beat me :rofl:

GT-R logos are ok, if I got them again I'd just get the logo on the handbrake.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
