Hey people

Im getting bored of SA and im looking at moving up to QLD

Currently have some family at the gold coast so i do kinda know my way around that area.

Im going to start looking for a place to rent, but i dont know which suburbs are decent and which ones i should stay away from.

I'm not fussed about if its brisbane or gold coast but i would like it to be either one.

Also how are the police on modified cars.

I have a twin turbo 350z *already on qld rego*

thanks for your time.

p.s Looking forward to potentially meeting some of you soon.

Conrad.

twin tub hey... Nice :devil:

Cops are good and bad, its all in the way you drive...

I never got pulled over in 3 years owning my yellow R33 which was heavily modified...

As for suburbs, well there is a big difference between the gold coast and brisbane, its an hours drive so you really need to know where you looking first...

But as for Brisbane it depends where you going to be in relation to your work/income so id be looking to get as close as possible within reason to your place of income...

As for the Gold Coast it has less traffic issues, so living anywhere within 20 kms of your income is no hassles...

well if you are in brisbane you are halfway between the sunshine and goldcoasts, but if you're at the gold coast then you're 2 hours + from the sunshine coast, which imo is a nicer place with less idiots running around

brisbane is a great little town buts its assets is its relative proximity to the sunshine and gold coasts

the higher the house prices, the more profit for me..

all are welcome.

:(

Ditto...come one, come all!

As for police....my car has apparently had a Flag for the past 3 years as being stolen Must be pulled over if sighted) I've been pulled over once in the whole time..and it was apparently to be told that.

woodridge and kingston are the upper clas areas in the middle of bris & coast :P lol.. marsden on the rise too.. lol

Dont forget Inala is a suburb on the move too lol.

Oh and dont forget Goldcoast North otherwise known as Eagleby. The only thing that doesnt get robbed there is the cemetery but give it time :D .

But thats cool I live in Logan which is so much safer :( . I have an alarm, security screens and two viscious Chihuahuas. They look friendly to lull you into a false sense of security and then devour you.

      Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.

      Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.

      I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.

      My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
