I need to invest in a windscreen sun deflector thing. Got in my car this afternoon, and apart from 50'c heat coming out of it, I noticed a little bubble on the dash :(

I just realised I may have run into you before, have you bought through Core Computers?

just keep a pair of baby socks in the car, fits perfectly over the gear knob and either stops it from getting hot in first place if you remember to put it on when parking, or protects your hand after the fact if you forget.

Stupid boost leak...... I think Martin's right, exhaust leak before the turbo, my money is on the turbo manifold gasket not seated properly.

Fun weekend ahead...

Lads.

Downloaded Unstoppable, Dinner for Schmucks and Burried, so will make a long evening off watching that.

No work to get up for in the morning so can be a late one

Out of beer and bourbon though, so it's going to have to be a dry one.... ghey

On a side note, fair few cops out tonight. Were out in force. Spotted nearly a dozen on my drive into Carina and back.

ravi i'll come around on the weekend sometime for you, plus i got stuff to drop you!

Aircon is awesome to work in, you guys that are mechanics should really work in an aircon'd shop, we don't get above 24 degrees. Old shop was better, 30+ degrees outside and we could keep that place at around 19 degrees all day.

I learnt the lesson with the metal gearknob, now i run a plastic nismo one instead, much nicer on the hand. The rust bucket is running so much smoother now, new gearbox mount finally fixed the vibration i got under hard acceleration.

Sweet mang, that'd be awesome. Dunno when I'm free yet though, but I've got about 3 hours free tonight after work so I'll see about lazily getting into getting all the piping off to save some time later. And yeah keen as for that 'stuff' you got ;)

P.S. Morning mangs!

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
