FARRRRK YEAH!

Not to fly my own flag, but I'm stoked to say i was a part of this bullshit coming down.

If anyone has Zoom issue 146, you can read my 2 page article on page 96 :ninja:

Everyone can breathe easy now, just hopefully the government will learn from their mistakes, cos no doubt that failure of a testing regime cos the tax payer thousands... (unlikely though...)

YEWWW!

sorry for being uneducated. can someone please explain this in normal persons speak??

the IM240 test is/was an emissions test. Basically it was stupidly hard to pass (some cars from failed the test from the factory) and there was only one place in WA that could perform the testing. It costs anywhere from $900 for a standard 4cyl small car, to $3000+ If you fail and need work done to pass it. Another thing is the place that performed the testing wasn't run by the government, so can be pretty unfair. Also they only have a 2WD dyno so full time AWD cars like evos, wrxs, landcruisers etc couldn't be tested!

It was just another bit of ammo that the cops could use to attack modified car enthusiasts, cos any exhaust or performance modifications needed to be tested!

Also did that place also sold their own 'special CATs' that you will 'magically' pass if you buy it from them? :ph34r:

haha yeah, I loved how the engines they built always seemed to pass, some even with retro fitted carbies over an efi system! Lol what a joke! I even heard rumors of a special cam design for Holden 5L and 355 strokers that were advertised to make stupid power levels and still be compliant...

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
