so problem will be solved by getting proper sized rods

Well it's either you use standard length like the HKS 2.8 kit does or 119.5 mm (2 mm shorter) like the Tomei does. It's all about where your pin sits.

Either way, when stroking your rod to stroke ratio is going to fall, but really, 26's ain't the best from factory. It means a little bit more wear and harder on the pin, however, there are advantages also.

I noticed that you ran a pod filter in the engine bay in the early days with the car, and have since revised it so the filter is in front of the left front wheel.

Do you have any pictures that more closely show you relocated turbo air intake?

Did you have any concerns with water on the filter in the low location from wet weather driving, or do you have a rain shield around it?

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get in contact with Anthony, the owner of GTRB28 but he hasnt been on AUS for about a year. Anyone know how I can get in contact with him?

yeah its in kemps project 34 now, running low boost (30psi low) until he changes gearbox etc. he was going to build an elephant package so just bought it as the owner was selling for bigger better things.

no doubt powertune could build another if youre serious.

kemp doesnt work at powertune either., unless recently employed lol.

Hi AH_HUH, I went hunting through the thread and can't find a dyno plot for the RB28/PT7175 combo - what was the most power it made, and how was lag with it... if you don't mind sharing?

Do you reckon it needed much more than 5000rpm for full boost? Cheers :)

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
