It sure is. I'm running the show today :whistling:

Oh btw I pressurised my intake piping last night, all my clamps etc were fine. The only thing I found was the line going to my boost gauge seems to be leaking. I unhooked it from the plenum and did it again, the only sound was now coming from that hookup at the back of the plenum. So some more vacuum hose on the way home from work this arvo and we'll see how she goes tonight.

Could that really be causing a few psi to leak though?

That's what happen to my car on the weekend, had no boost at all via the gauge, but car was fine, new hose and she's sweet. I suppose every little bit helps.

I have a leak somewhere too! Was driving along the other night and gave it its first real bootful for a few weeks and as it came on boost it sounded like a stock RB25 turbo (Ie Vaccume cleaner) and was slow as hell, Drives fine normally but so im gussing a split some where that blows open under high pressure then seals up ok at low pressure.

It could certainly make you guage read many PSI lower.

Would also potentially affect how the car runs. Anything with an AFM (ie skylines) will be particularly sensitive to boost/vac leaks.

Oh and screw black ops, get this into ya

Nice.

I removed my AFM and replaced it with a full baked bean can (clamp it in tight)

Then I pulled the cooler piping -> actuator vacuum hose and replaced it (on the piping nipple) with a bike tyre valve on a piece of hose and all clamped tight, then hooked that up the my compressor set @ 10psi.

Worked a treat, cost me $7 hahaha.

Oh, plus the baked beans. But now I'm gonna have them for lunch so it's win-win!

Tas called me last night and wanted to catch up. So i said yeah meet me near my place. So I walk down to the car park and there he is standing next to a black guy. I'm like its midnight, abandoned carpark with an asian and a black guy. Yep totally legit. Then after a bit 3 cop cars come out of nowhere arrest some drunk guy down the street. Then keep doing circles around the block obviously looking for some other guy but oddly enough driving past us (the legit guys) very slowly. Fun times.

P.s. The black guy was Shan and yes he is very black.

The end.

LOL having an accidental strayan day today. Strayan days so awesome.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      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.
