Nice to take it out and give it a little, normally putting around in it with the kids etc.

Sell all your parts and your stagea and buy mine :)

um, gotta find the list of whats been done.

but basically stage 2 valve body. upgraded clutch packs, band's, rings. welded some part to make it shift faster with no clutch riding. solenoids were upgraded. few other bits and pieces.

driving is fine, may hold gear for like 150rpm more when you just cruise it, but you dont really notice. when cold takes a little bit longer to get into 4th, i just drive to 60kmph in 3rd then speed up to around 70 and it drops into 4th then back off back to 60. but once warm there is no drama's with 4th gear. and it takes about 5mins to warm up after driving.

in sports mode it is realy fast, when you launch is 1st and slap it into second, you feel the wheels trying to chitp and the awd thing taking over for that split second.

in D its so smooth. wouldn't even know anything has been done, no roughness at all, not as harsh as some shift kits i've heard about.

looking at a Stall Converter later on also. see how that goes with the box.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
