haha not off to a good start on the front iv smashed a 17mm socket and and extension on the big bottom bolt, they were 3/8 though im off to repco to get some 1/2 inch stuff. While im here do i need to undo the long bolt on the top arm to get them in and out? or just the one at the base of the shock and the two on the strut tower?

horrace put a socket on it and your breaker bar, position it so you can give it a kick and the sharp all of a sudden torque you will create from booting the breaker bar should get it cracked. Make sure the sockets on nice and square first.

well the 25 boxes and the 33 gtr boxes are pretty much the same

and my mates stock shifter fitted in my rs4s

it should fit

I thought the shifter was different due to having a transfer case hanging off the extension housing.. must be wrong though, haven't looked at one in a LONG while. I did have my RB25 shifter in the RB20 box before I upgraded so I definintely know that works.

Got them all in ok no adjustable arms in yet though, I left them at the heights they came and the front is about stock height and the rear is gangster low lol, I raised the rear a bit and I'll get the front where I want it tomorrow I cbf today.

you just want me to come over so you can try and seduce me again

GOT MY m35 ON THE ROAD TODAY!!! finally drove it properly!

f**king totally inlove with it!

goes SOOOOOO much more harder than what i expected, and with the kenstyle/hks coilovers it handles f**kin great!!!!

next to lower the coilovers all the way, and put on 30mm spacers :laugh::D:D:D:D

oh when i was driving the engine light came on. and the car stopped driving and just went to idling!

turned the car off waited a minute all was good.

im pretty sure it had something to do with the accel pedal flipping down and me pushing it flat out lol...

Just got my newly painted V35 wheels on the car :laugh:

Colour is Toyota Pewter. Thanks again Chris (Spoolin'12) for the wheels, though, I paid SIGNIFICANTLY more for the paint than what I was telling you!

Better pics when the sun is shining.

now running RDA slotted rotors and Endless SSY pads up front

Porn! Looks nice. I'm keen to get slotted rotors soon too. Gotta get a tune for 16psi first. :laugh:
What... Me?... Never... :huh:

Okay, time to put my 2.2 New Zealand cents in...

Not many individuals go from a highflow turbo back to a stock turbo and say they prefer it, so this is quite foreign to most and probably the cause of much angst.

Saying you didn't even make 7psi until high up in the rev-range is saying that the setup you had was not ideal, whether it be your tune, boost controller gain etc...

I could go on, but I'm sure it'll just be echoing what others have already said :)

Hi Tim

Just to say it again. Any turbo, no matter what size, or characteristics doesn't provide ANY boost until it is spooled up.

This hi-flow was so slow to spool that is wasn't making any boost under 3000 RPM. I am not saying that what others have done with their cars is wrong.

The big question I had was that if it was making full boost on an RB20 at 3200 (as claimed by the builder), then why would the drift guy have taken it off? I know now that it couldn't have been.

I (stupidly) thought that it would be OK on an RB25. It wasn't. Also I didn't want to shell out another $2000, to put another turbo on.

To be honest I probably wouldn't have even looked at a high-flow if it wasn't offered to me so cheaply ($900). It's still for sale if anyone wants it!

I really only wanted 200kw, and 194 is close enough.

I don't really see it as going backwards, I feel that an increase of 32kw (over the old engine) is great considering all I have done is really have the Nistune installed and tuned. The main reasons (obviously) are a motor with only 54,000kms (instead of 119,000) and a new (rebuilt) turbo and tune.

The dyno charts will show comparisons.

I think that once I post these are up people will find that pretty interesting.

Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
