those look nice there mate, been thinking about getting a new set of boots for the gear boot and hand break, but haven't been bothered as of yet, are they eBay special for like $20 odd plus like $5 for P/H?, if so, can you let me know how they go please

yeah they are, 20 bucks, and 9.90 postage from britania land, the leather is nice. everything fits well, even the rubber top in the gearstick boot. its made to replace the original exactly. i had to trim a little excess around the bottom of the gear boot, and the wire frame in the handbrake boot is a little to soft compared to the original, but hasnt been an issue yet (if it pops out ill add a few dabs of glue).

Mmmm car smells like leather

nice figures mate,

yeah it's sledgehammer like, on another note:

Those who are wanting to cruise down to QR as a group we are meeting at the southbound BP on the highway at 4:30am for a 4:45 leave time, This gives everyone 15 mins to grab some fuel a coffee and a feed.

Make that 4AM just to account for slow people and a quick hello.

been thinking a little lately, i have 2x 10" thermos i want to install into the skyrine, and i was wondering if this would be benificial or would it be better to just get like say a single 16" thermo

Thermo fans are only benificial if you have a shroud for them. There are some shrouds if my memory serves me correct on ebay that suit the standard rad. Control wise, I'm not a hugh fan of the thermo control units that use the probe in the top hose, you would be better off using a thermo switch sender mounted in a bit of stainless pipe in the top hose. If you have an aftermarket computer you can use it to trigger a relay.

Funny you should mention P plater lancers, there was one acting the fool on the way home in the wet.

I stole that seat fair and square, I have been eyeing off a ride in the wheelchair since it was unveiled.

You'll just have to come up again when it's at lakeside then he can take ya for a real lap.

    • I do not think that the return pipe could be the cause of your particular troubles, unless perchance it is leaking in a lot of unfiltered and unmetered air (assuming your ECU is still using AFMs). And then it could be very bad, but it shouldn't prevent you making boost. Blow then engine up from running lean? Sure. But it would make boost. You really needed to disconnect this thing from the turbo inlets and close those inlet ports off a year ago, and you should do it now.
    • Pressure Ratio = 2. ie, 1 bar of boost (assuming 1 bat absolute pressure at the compressor inlet). This is relevant because compressor maps do not have "boost" up the y-axis. They have pressure ratio.
    • Revisiting this thread again x2... 1 year later. This car has been an ongoing project between life. But, I never removed the re-circ pipe. I know, shame on me. But since then, i took it to get tuned and only making about 280hp (lame) and i'm chasing a boost issue where the car wont boost past 7-8psi. Mac valve installed. Haltech Platinum pro with the map sensor.  This is the first time i've tackled the turbo side of things, but i have that side somewhat taken apart to chase the waste gate vacuum lines. And noticed this stupid pipe again. I'm peicing together the puzzle and @GTSBoy mentioned that it was a big vaccuum chamber and said a bunch of car math stuff that I couldn't quite follow the car math (im trying). You guys think this would be the culprit? between rotting vacuum hoses?  i'm making a DIY boost leak tester this weekend. 
    • I just spent a silly amount of time reading other forums' posts and watching "whats this noise" videos on Youtube. It *appears* to be the front diff having killed a pinion bearing or similar. Its almost definitely driveline, I haven't tested to see if the car makes the noise in N though but either way I think it's gonna be pricey. This is outside my area of comfort and expertise so I'll get my BMW guys on it. The bearings are attached to the hubs so are super easy to replace (at least in comparison to press in bearings) so I'll do them also.
