There was a green skyline (nfi what it was, andrew might know lol) that had been pulled over on the Monaro a couple of mornings ago. It was one of those pearl cars where it looked green & then pink.

that kinda sounds like the chameleon R33 that is getting about.. it seems to show up at the nats every now and then as well...

think it's gunners based..

Spotted a black r33, near spitting image of my car driving along William Hovel Drive this morn (South bound) around 9:10am.

Also spotted my r33 still sitting at home depressing me cos it aint going. Sux most cos ALL the major work want and need done to the thing is done. Just is small aesthetic things (except for the leak of water in the boot).. Runs and drives perfectly, looks great, sterio is all sorted, alarm system is all adjusted bout right now also... But got the fuel pump issue pissing me off now (partially it not working, partially my lack of time to work on it and try to sort out what the hell is wrong so I can fix it...)

At least urs can move...

But yeh tis a sad issues also, both quite frustrating. I need more time to work on this and sort it out. And then hope all will be better soon....

Ahh, but today at lunch I removed the vac line to the actuator, and still couldn't make REAL boost....barely made it to 1 bar...if everything is working correctly, I should have shot through to overboost cut quicker than you can say wtf

I too am going to go insane with this shit lol

haha...well my cat already (and has been since I got the car back after work was done for this power) makes a horrid metal vs metal vibration sound, but I'm fairly sure that it's the heat shielding on the top....I may or may not remove the exhaust from the front pipe and go for a VERY short drive this arvo to see if it's all good without that one there, but I don't know if I cbf risking it lol....

It's a ceramic cat of some kind...only strange thing about it is that it managed to flow 294.4rwkw the other week :\

Well failing my cat-less test this arvo, it will be going into autotech next monday for pressurised smoke through the intake test to find any leaks...and if I haven't tried dropping the cat yet, they'll also chuck her on the dyno for a run with only the dump pipe.

If it's the cat, I don't give a shit lol. Just means I gotta drive it a bit softer for a while til i replace it like I've been meaning to :D

And after speaking to Stao (Hypergear), he's assured me how unlikely it is for anything to go wrong with the turbo to cause this, short of damaging the wheels themselves - which is amazingly unlikely too. helps for peace of mind, love that guy's customer service.

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
