Noticed there's a Team Red Stage sticker on a white ford station wagon in the carpark at work. Wonder if that's the same person with the 33 4 door?

But given he hasn't noticed he's been spotted maybe not much chance he'll see this!

Although... There's something pretty white and shiny in there today. 500kw daily driver FTW!

The point of the 400+kw etc threads is it makes it easier for people to discussed things and look for what setups people are running rather than trolling through the massive thread of people putting a pfc in their standard car and running 200kw. It is also an easier place for discussion for common known hurdles around certain power levels etc.

They are actually very useful threads.

I get what the point of them is. Unfortunately I read more rubbish than good.

I'm well connected with multiple workshops that are going to give me much better factual information based on experience which is 100000000x more valuable than some of the shit I've read in there.

Each to their own. I dont believe most of the crap thats on here, nor do i take everything i get told by workshops as gospel. My opinion only. I dont expect anyone on here to believe what i write, for all they know i might be 13 and own a pushbike and nothing else, and have never worked on a car.

What works in/on one engine may not work on/in another. Trial and error is the only way you know what works and what doesnt. Just sucks its so expensive and time consuming. Power figures are just a number, you can make the dyno read whatever. As long as your happy with how it goes who gives a fk!

I've seen you plenty haha, I'm in the grey 32, saw you after the downshift meet as well.

But bummer to the defect.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
