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

anyone heard of some kind of device/restrictor you put on your manifold that supressors the shuffle noise, some kind of pipe with a box, appranetly honda v techs have it to dampen there inlet noise?

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......

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
