Wheels were a success and cant believe how they turned out considering it cost me bugger all -

They suit the engine bay and intercooler nicely -

There are some additions that JEM has added to the list like Billet fuel filter, exhaust cam gear and turbosmart fuel reg etc but its main purpose for being there is -

Haltech PS2000 wire in and tune

Ethanol content sensor

wideband setup

cams and springs install

FULL flex tune for E85 & 98 pump fuels

This is getting exciting and nerve wracking all at once :woot:

Looking good mate :D

What's the reason for the change from Sard reg to Turbosmart reg??

Thanks Man!!

E85 compatibility, and its black :P

You wont have an issue and apparently there are plenty out there running E85 through these but they do not have the approval for the fuel so i THINK they are changing it ;)

God. Damn. It.

Water/meth injection is looking like it's gonna be the go for me, E85 is way too hard! Lol.

PS - funny thing, our cars make identical power with totally different setups :woot:

LOL :rofl2:

Must be all in the Plazmaman :glare: Lol.

Well it's about bloody time Matt :)

The rims came up really well man, I like them. Are they just a flat black or is it just the photo that gives them a gun metal hue???

Good luck with the tune mate, it's been a long ride for you hey!

Is e85 at the bowsers up at the terrace or are you gonna store drums? It's still not local enough for me down here so WMI for me I thinks..

Dibs on a ride when we finally meet up in person ok.

Haha thought that would make you happy :P

They are a satin black, they actually suit the car, although i cant run the original centre caps as the silver looks a bit silly so im not sure what to do there, BUT at least it replaced the hideous things i had on there before, ill keep the rims as daily street rims and get something lighter for the track, the XT7's weigh heaps!!

E85 is about 20 mins away on the Bowsers hence the reason for going full flex fuel setup, BUT i do have 200L ready at home too -

Sounds like the passenger seat is going to cop a work out lol.....

Thought we would have had a power figure by now :(

Like all builds/modifications, there has been issues... Seems my valve springs were a different height or something between inlet and exhaust... I haven't heard the full story yet but it sounds dodgy... It's in the best possible place so I'm

Not too concerned about the bad news...

Power figure will be OK, but will be heavily restricted due to the exhaust I think.... Will post up how it goes....

The exhaust I run is a full 3" system, have been told 3.5 would be better etc... But for the power I'll be running I don't think that counts.....

The restriction/limitation will be due to the Jasma rating, it'll be restrictive and hinder the power output....

My goal is stealth, quiet car... Stock looking, no obvious gauges... Just a stock daily to the untrained eye..

Just to expand on that, I believe the problem with the Japanese exhausts is that to obtain the Jasma approval, a lot of them are not true 3" exhaust. A lot of them step down to 2.5" just before/after the mufflers to help reduce noise, and these step downs can be quite restrictive.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
