odd that they used a 12 second ramp time on the power run

usually its 9, still makes the same power but boost looks like it comes on earlier

great result tho, gotta be happy with that, no wonder you were struggling with power on the track, i'd be getting some 285's or something on the back

also, you should try and find your other 2 cylinders, you might make more power ;)

Hey Guys, Just thought I'd make a new thread for my GTS Build instead of flooding the other one. Here is the before shot One ugly, poorly maintained, unloved skyline. Set me back $3500. It's a

Ok, next person that mentions Stagea's in my build thread is going to get it.

STAGEA- HA HA!!

Seriously though... sounded good out on the track, just need to lay off the limmiter half way down the back straight! ha ha.

that's an awsome shot 'peeling out' :spank:

How did your brakes hold up?

Cheers

Brakes were fine, I didn't lean on them that hard really though.

I was watching the road too much and not the tacho and the ol RB is so much smoother than the WRX so I can't tell when it's on the limiter because it feels and sounds like you could double the revs and it'd love it. I think I might actually need some of those shift-i dash lights or something. We get a discount if we get 3 people or more, anyone else keen?

Ah I'll learn, I was picking it up by the end of the day.

I have a Ecliptech Shift-I that I no longer need as I have gone with a logger dash, Pm me if interested.

i forgot you had a good pump, you should be good you bang your hart out with that

Giggity.

Can't wait to take it out drifting again, it's going to be sweeeeeeeeet.

I don't think I'll get 18s any more, maybe just another pair of 17x8 for steer tyres so then I'll have

Grip

Koya Driftek. 17x9 rear, 17x8 front

Drift

4x Gmax Drift for Rears and D1Rs for the front? Tempted by those R34 GT-T wheels that tobs has for sale too. Then I'll have 3 pairs of rears.

with tyre changers at every drift event there is hardly a need for spare rims. i haver always been a super organised and taken like 6 pairs of rims and rairly do i need them. i dont think i have ever run out of tyres at the track.

also drifting on brand new rubber helps this as well. the rubber is cheap for us drift boys so take advantage of it i say.

It's true, tyre changer at the event is handy :) That's why I was thinking, just a pair of D1Rs would be enough, but 4 wheels with tyres for the same price is pretty hard to pass up...

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
