$202 was an offer to JPS_TRADING LTD on ebay

the obx stuff from racingpartsdepot on ebay.usa

thats the standard price, shipping was $90, lifetime warranty and the quality is exceptional

a TSA worker told me if you get a speeding fine for 10kph or over on your P's you get disqualified immediately. Pretty harsh penalty! There are a lot of un-signed streets, being 50kph, snap @ 60 and your license is gone...

They've come down hard with demerit point rule changes in the last 5 years. And of course the price of everything (fines/rego etc/license fees) has increased enough to start hurting the wallet - just went and paid a speeding fine @ the post office on my lunch break... $220 for 70 in a 60 zone... I was bloody astounded when i saw the price of the fine when i opened that letter. Up by $50 since my last speeding fine, for the exact same offence... f@rk!

sorry to bring this discussion back up, but the section ive highligted there is no excuse

who can tell me the rule they bought in (cos they were too lazy / tight fisted to spend money and to signpost everywhere)

50 UNLESS OTHERWISE SIGNPOSTED

so that excuse really doesnt wash these days

/2c

and yes, ive had one speeding ticket, 76 in a 60 zone, on the easter weekend about 4 years back. a split second of bad habits cost me over 300 bucks

used.

jps trading were selling 3sets, sent an offer on a z32 afm + the cheapest hks dump set.

was surprised it was accepted lol, considering id just spent a $900 on a big 13" wilwood racing brake upgrade

see: brake.doc

Back to my issue. Wayne seems to think maybe the two hoses on my car are hooked up the wrong way on the solenoid and that i should try swapping them. Nothings gonna go bang if i do this? Like if the hoses are the right way and I've swapped em over its not going to reverse the pressure into somewhere and make it pop?

Yeah I might quickly go see Shaun and see what he thinks about it. I don't care that I'm only running 10psi, I'm just more worried about that if the restrictor isn't there, then why isn't it hitting that 1bar. Even with a turbo back exhaust it shoud be a little higher so who knows.

got boost controller? without boost control you're restricted to whatever your wastegate actuator is rated at, which i think is 10psi...

no boost controller. I got a blitz 1 sitting here that I was going to use on my old gtst. Should work on the 26 shouldn't it? Or will I need one for a 26?

as far as i know a boost controller works on all, provided its setup in the right manner - best to ask ur tuner to install it really

I was also thinking this earlier...but didn't want to say it/couldnt be bothered logging in at work.

I have received 2 speeding fines in the last 12 months...both for a car i sold to my parents about 2 years ago. So i get them to fill in the Stat-Dec, and i get of scot-free :D

surely they've re-registered it in that time? :D no excuse that its not in their name heh

Nope, still in my name, so as far as motor reg is concerned...its still my car, but my parents paid me for it.

well its been confirmed! I worry too much and all I needed was a EBC and I'll see 14psi. Wow. Hahaha

hehe yep, or one of those adjustable manual taps

ebc is much safer inspite of their non regency friendliness. good thing is tho, theyre real easy to remove

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
