I need splitfire coils? What the problem if I don't buy them?

The same questions for uprated ignitor?

And for damper pulley?

I'm just using splitfires (no upgraded ignitor) in my RB28 with 522whp. Maybe just get your std coils checked out and try them. There's nothing to loose really and then if you need the splitfires etc buy them then.

I've got an ATI one on mine to be safe. Not sure what the std one is good for.

Still using the std ignitor. Have a search for testing the coilpacks. It's been covered before.......somewhere.

When your doing a power run, the tuner will know the coil packs are having troubles keeping up by how the engine miss's.

if you run the car up on the dyno and make power with no issues you know they are OK.

I think i remember beer baron saying that on the HKS drag car they still run the stock coil packs, they are better then split fires when they are in good condition.

So take your chances, they might turn out to be all ok.

Yes china stuff.. but xs wastegate I read that work fine... and the xs manifold I will improve its strenth with brackets! Again I read for this manifold for rb26 signle that it is good quality and they don't broke! I think that also the 6boost is china stuff same with xspower but as I read many people use it!

6boost isnt china made you idiot. Its made locally here in AUS.

Have you even researched where its made? And by whom?

Doesnt sound like it at all

The poor man pays twice, i suspect days it will also happen in this case

I would change the balancer on any built rb26 motor as I have seen a lot of factory items flogged out. I believe that this is probably the reason behind a lot of broken oil pumps. I build a lot of sr20's and everyone one of those Ive seen with a broken oil pump has had one of those GFB solid pulleys fitted.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
