Only one way to find out I guess but no more obvious than a Power fc hand controller and cops up here most likely wouldn't know what a boost controller looks like. Haven't ever heard of anyone getting defected for having one either :-/ they usually only check what's under the bonnet

Got a quick road tune in before the Subaru dyno day on Saturday, Cihan isnt very happy tuning the Emanage at 30psi, I guess I will just have to see how it goes. >_<

Craig, is that engine on its way yet? :unsure:

Yep, lol.

It doesnt seem to want to die, its had a hard life the last two years...

lol, any idea if the VQ will run into any issues with the high pressure? i've had a few cooler pipes pop off at 22psi, no big deal, but i'd start getting worried at 30psi on my unopened RB lol.

keen to see the results, thats with the GTX?

Yeh, GTX3071 with 1.06 rear, 45mm external.

Ive had plenty of cooler pipes blow off, I had to modify the throttle body due to the silicone not staying put. All my piping seems fine for now. The bonnet heat guard is shreaded from the air pressure when it lets go. Haha.

The VQ25 runs lower compression, 8.5:1, so I have that on my side. The ethanol has saved my ass though, there is over 6L per minute pumping in, cooling the pistons (hopefully). Its running 10:1 AFR's on boost and he took another degree out just to be sure. Theres at least another 20kw to be made there but we both want the standalone ecu in before its pushed further. Hopefully soon. :cheers:

Pretty happy with today.

Serviced the Stag, with a new HKS oil filter, Greddy magnetic drain plug and Motul 300v. Have to say the Valvoline came out perfect, as expected. Same gold colour but full of black, if that makes any sense. Got enough Motul for another change now, so I'll see how it goes before I decide if I should change back to the free oil. No difference that I can notice so far.

Started with the upgrades too. Just the front axle for now.

BCs went in, after some adjustment (5cm too short out of the box? WTF?). Followed Dales measurements, and added a bit to get it a bit higher. Feels very stiff but it is also would out to hard from the factory.

DBA 4000 Clubspec rotors and QFM HPX pads went in. So far still bedding in, so dont feel much of a difference yet.

Next week rear BCs, toe arms and brakes go in, then I'll change the lines over to the braided Stoptech lines (which look easy to fit) and refill the brakes with the Motul RBF600.

I have a feeling this car lead a good life in Japan. It seems to have been well maintained, and pulling the pads out today showed half used Nissan pads. I have a feeling it was serviced and driven normally in Japan, no thrashing, which is good!

But they might have been neglected by the previous owners. I think Aaron's was a bit like that.

nope mine was fine. i just had a leak from the oring behind the filter sandwich plate. its good that it was the only leak I ever had..

I think the reference was to some probs you had that could be attributed to less than ideal maintenance before you owned it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but things like banjo bolt blocked (first turbo failure?) and the sludge you found when you pulled your oil filter/associated mounting hardware off. Chances are a few oil changes might have been missed pinch.gif .

Yesterday I swapped out the painfully noisy Project Mu pads for a set of QFM A1RM on the front of my C34.

The Project Mu pads went straight into my mate's WRX (I have R33 Gts-t brakes)... should be interesting to see if they are as noisy on his car.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      By shubby0901 · Posted

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
