Okay I pulled the hose off with the yellow stripe and I can't feel anything in the hose when I squeeze it. That would tell me that the thing isn't there. But when boosting my standard gauge only goes to the 2nd to last bar on the gauge..

What do we think is going on?

The hose feels pretty stiff as it is, though.

Mines still got the restrictor in it but I pulled out the hose and put a light into it to see the restrictor.

I'm scared if I take it out, bang goes the turbo's lol.

I can't remember what the bars on the gauge actually stand for... like isn't the 2nd bar like 10psi or something?

I think the second bar up the top of the gauge is close to 14psi/1bar. Would be great if someone could actually confirm this though. f**ks me what them standard measurements are in

Which hose is the restrictor in? The bottom or the top?

this picture seems to be pointing to the bottom one which is the thicker of the two. But the top one on my car is thinner and has the yellow stripe that everyone says the restrictor is in.

I'm confused. But if its not there and I'm not running 1Bar on my standard guage.. it opens up a whole list of problems I could have..

measurements are in mmHG which is the pressure of mercury - roughly said its the amount of fluid pressure exerted by one mm of mercury, so 760mm of mercury is equal to the sea level atmospheric pressure (1 bar)

Scientific measurement, NFI why they put it in a skyline, either bar or psi would have been much better

-D

can i ring aus post to see if its here??

i know it was sent, i just want it my the weekend!!

you'll need a tracking number, like steve said if u got e-parcel u can check it on the web

otherwise give the adelaide cbd post office branch a call, they can possibly tell you if theyve a) recieved it or b) sent it off to a regional office

-D

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
