If your after one thats for sale - go to the For Sale section.

Failing that - there are what, a dozen traders on SAU? Surely one of them can be contacted :)

Failing that (last resort) - www.yellowpages.com.au if you cant find one from a wrecker there - there aint any in the country...

Thanks.

yep this area has been placed on the no go zone with rotor bur flap sanding disk only.

Also the bottom of the exhaust port if its matched to the manifold gasket is also quite thin.

was also surprised to see a water jacket running through the web that seperates the two exhaust ports for the same cylinder, would have thought that to be solid

hey yall here is my monumental f$%^ up

you will see the areas in red which you have to take care not to remove to much alloy.

I will post the pic with the water jacket running through the webbing in the exhaust port tomorrow just to draw out the agony lol

way too far there...you can see by the shape of the port that what you have done would actually hinder the gas flow. ie.too much of a right angled corner. GTR heads flow pretty well out of the box and for a circuit car id concentrate more on the inlet for light porting and knife edging and only give the exhaust a clean up and polish. For a given volume of gas to flow through an orifice (port) the larger the cross-section the less the pressure it will be and a "softer" hit in the manifold and on the turbine wheel. The larger port will in most applications actually decrease the response of the turbocharger.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
