Modifing cars is a headf**k for starters ))

yes this is true. however when they sell DW knuckles as a bolt in solution and it is far from it you tend to get a little pissed off.

i had to modify the following

-camber arms

-traction rods

-machine up a 50mm spacer to sit on top of the coilover cause without it my car was slammed to the ground so hard haha

Awesome :yes: now i just gotta sort it and learn to drive :P Your car would weigh much less making it crazy fun..... Be interesting to hear your thoughts on the new setup and how it compares to the old!

yeah mine was pretty spastic with the neo combo at its peak!

here's a video i did at a grip day at mallala did a best of 1:18 flat which is pretty quick but considering i did it with a drift set up on 2nd hand street tyres is pretty funny haha.

haha yeah scrubbing big time.. the bit where it fills the cabin with smoke when doing that high speed 4th/5th gear kink is the suspension compression so much from the wing downforce and pushing the tyre into the cut metal guard under the overfender... left a nice groove in it thats for sure.

i have since then cut it higher up

small update... took it to All Type Crash who removed the banged up rear and fixed it all up for me.. sweet!

First time actually driving it with the 30DET today and i gotta say.... torque.. where have you been all my life! its not even tuned for the bigger motor but runs so well atm, gave it some boost (not much tho) and it just pulled effortlessly haha hopefully goes well!

tune tomorrow!

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
