Andrew, car was at the workshop for other major mods, otherwise would have thrown it on myself. (and failed as it needed the new spacer machining up) lol.

so no good comparison will be made, I'm having a bigger laggier turbo.

yeah i recon Mark could probably dust off 2000lf/ft to the shaft in his car! ;)

Keith Cowie is selling some that take 4000lb/ft in the UK I think?

thanks willo,

hopefully you'll get a xmas pressie!!!

Hows it going along with this now? i've not had contact with him at all latley are the last two shafts on their way?

Mick - Sounds good! haha why you gone bigger again? i have a t88 at home i was considering throwing on.. haha but i think i might stick with the twins.

You're kidding right?

Department of Fair Trading sent a letter to Paul last Monday and either he hasn't received it, has ignored it or they have been slow to inform me of the outcome.

this is probably why i've not received anything..

ok thanks

thats exactly what Mark is doing for me, making up a new spacer. ;)

I wasnt sure If I was missing something out of my kit or if they ship them like this. You'd expect them to trial their product properly...

There is no way it should be designed to just shit on that lip and not go all the way home!

cheers

Michael

Wait........... You have an R32 with standard R32 gearbox, and you needed a custom spacer to be made?!?!?! :D :D :)

Hmmm....

With these guys producing shafts for a couple of Japanese tuning shops..e.g Trust etc you wonder how the heck they stay in business. The Japanese wouldnt accept late delivery, maybe once if it was a week or 2 max!! They just take their business elsewhere, regardless of the quality, plus I cant see them accepting a poor fit and spacer to be made. I'll have a suss over here about the fitting.

It just seems a piss poor effort from them that some of us got shafts delivered and some of us well..excuse the pun...Got shafted!

yep!

thats two of us now!

see what more of them are like when people get around to fitting...

hey just be thankful that the shafts are too short and not too long!! lol. then you'd really have a problem...

So there is still two waiting right??

i have like so many emails to read right now.

Hey Andrew, I'm still waiting and calling James is difficult from Africa but I'll keep trying

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
