Yeah they can do that :D

They don't make boards to the same quality anymore but I guess you don't have to pay the same amount for them anymore either, so I guess build quality is the compromise made :)

Mornin all

Problem is with the newer boards they are using smaller and smaller micron-processes in the main graphics GPU's and things. Much more complicated than the old days, and the technology in your average graphics board is so much advanced -- in a way they're almost mini-motherboards.

They're probably so busy churning the latest architecture to market to keep up with the "other guys" and the lifespan is so much shorter, probably not as much time for comprehensive R&D over longterm reliability.

Least it translates into cheaper cost :) which is the main thing. I'd rather have 2x $300 boards that give me 24 months use and stay up to date, than one $600 which is so out of date in 24 months it doesn't matter :D

Afternoon everybody.

Thanks for the sms las night about the radios being in glen. Only prob was I talked till about 1am end ended up getting to bed at 2. soo tired today. Dying to try out the new radios. Also I'm going to try to get the Skyline letters on the back of the car to illuminate red. Might be more hassle than its worth though.

Makes it easier if you have a UBD my work is selling last years UBD for $5 they are well used, no pages missing, but just well used, the sit in the trucks and every year we buy new ones, so I'll find out if there are any left, I got a 1997 brisbane UBD if anyone wants it, for free!

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
