hey thanks bumblebee, ive just got the car back, as i said to the mechanic leave it standard, im not a loud 'BOV, external wasegate, loud exhaust' kinda person, but this is the set up he gave me including all the custom polished inlet piping (which i admit looks amazing)

ive just spent close to $23k, and i dont want to spend anymore, as long as the shuffle isnt wrecking the engine i can live with it, but i will go back to stock BOV

im just a bit more concerned about engine light coming on when full boost hits, can anyone help me with this, as i said i have the new LINK G4, and my mechanic said not to worry bout the light because the LINK overrides this?????? im just a lil worried? would it be a dumb idea to instal a knock sensor? i live about 500k away from my mechanic so i cant get back to him for a while but he insists its ok?

when i started these mods about 1 year ago didnt know anything about modding these cars, so went on my mechanics advice, so please no lectures :thumbsup:

my mechanic is 550km away so any help would be great on the noises

cheers

If your mechanic lives that far away, you might as well just come with your GTR on the ferry to Melbourne, and get it tuned correctly by Ben. :P

hello

most cars have a resonator box... but its part of the stock air box... u remove the stock air box and it makes the other box useless because theyre generally connected to the stock air box.. cant say ive seen one that wasnt connected to the stock box

We've told u how to fix it dude.. there are no short cuts

stock piping + stock bovs. put ur stock bovs on and see how that goes

if that doesnt work then either live with it, or go stock piping

hey the ticking noise ur talking about when boost comes on is probly the boost controller, mine did this

check to see if the boost controller is mounted with rubber or foam underneath (between it and the engine bay)

the solenoid tix rapidly to control boost which is what i think is making the noise, so put something inbetween if there isnt something there already

cheers

going back to stock will help.

ben explained to me that the reason by the stock bovs r the best ones for the job is because they are one of the few bovs that actually stay open under light throttle which apparently help to minimise shuffling

hey, the reason why he changed BOV was because they couldnt hold on higher boost (18lbs) which i didnt think was that much boost to start leaking, is that maybe cause they had done 170k's?, would replacing them with brand new stock ones be able to hold the higher boost? what kind of power, or boost preasure can the stock ones hold?

cheers for advice......

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
