Sorry, no way you can fit the heat shield, thats why the dump was wrapped, to keep the heat down.

If you are only getting 6-7psi, I would expect that you must have a pretty restrictive exhaust - sorry to say. I had 9psi with cat and cat back, about 10 when the dump went on.

The main difference I found with the dump though was not increase in boost, but a really early spool up. I started making boost around 2200-2300 and the mid range felt a bit crisper when at part throttle.

I have the partition here, pick it up anytime. It may not fit perfect, but it would make a pretty good template so you could customise one for your car - easy to make AND CHEAP :D lol

Good to hear the tiens arent kidney jarring - sounds like the same one's Enrico has.

nah i dont' think its the exhaust being too restrictive .. i can't see how it can ... the only way to know is when i get the boost controller really :D .. but yeah the car is definitely 100% better especially now that i got a wheel alignment from bridgestone... free plug for bridgestone at mile end on henley beach road ... the guy was great .. cant' remember his name ... but i went to the one on gouger but it is closed due to renovations and the other guy said that that larry fella who all u guys love has left bridgestone and is now going to be working for the goverment?? ... guess hes following in steves footsteps :( ... but yeah now im taking corner faster without even hearing the wheels screech ... what a difference it makes!!!! :( ... the guy doing my car told me it was way off before he fixed it ... can't remember exactly what he said but it had 16mm toe in? or something like that?? LOL when it should be 2 :D hehehe

I am not sure about more heat wrapping, I only had the dump done and it seemed fine, didnt melt any wires or anything.

If you are worried just keep an eye on it, if anything looks like it is starting to show signs of heat fatigue, wrap it/shield it.

A bleeder shouldnt cost too much, and it will definately help, just dont wind in too much with the stock cooler or you will be needing a new turbo.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
