I can link you to a picture? :P

I buy mine locally, I don't know of any online stores, though I'm sure there are plenty.

That is a great help :P

Haha hey man, you managed to piece together the rest of this fiiiiine automobile without me linking you to each part! :laugh:

Hey you went to that Haltech tech-night that JEM put on awhile ago yeh? Was it good?

Yeah well i got it this far i guess :unsure:

And as for the JEM night.... Ill link you to a picture of it :P

It wasnt a Haltech night, it was just about dyno tuning and a bunch of other stuff!

I just ended up wrapping mine with some silver exhaust wrap. Should be right now.

You must end this obsession with black. I have the urge to swap out just one Dash fitting for a Red/Blue item when your not looking!

Also, the ACL ceramic cored aluminium heatshield can be painted with a high temp paint if necessary.


In black for example. :whistling:

I will help you ;)

Basterd!!!

Haha you sir are a good man!!!

^^^^^^^^^

I have that on my turbo oil return. That shit is excellent, expensive, but top notch. Slide it over anything sus like turbo water lines, oil feeds/returns etc.

I think you produce a lot more heat than me even at low boosts, when we compared temps at Texi.

I just radiate heat baby :banana:

So it looks like the seat rail situation will be sorted soon, unfortunately if i use the sliders which i probably will, its doesnt get the seat any lower in the car :/ So no real advantage in terms of seating position BUT the seats will have more hugginess or whatever you call it over the standard GTT seat, as comfy as they are, they have seen better days...

On the weekend i decided to jack the car up and suss out some stuff in the front end, turns out i will be doing Tie rod ends as they are pretty ordinary, lower control arm bushes and ball joints and also work out what to do with the upper camber arms, will likely leave the bushes in, however its apart now so will do some research in terms of options to see if any improvements can be made!

I also found the tyre was contacting more that i thought under large bumps etc and has started chewing away at stuff -

Will raise the front of the car and also roll the front guards in an attempt to fix some of this contact being made! Also going to try run the 255/35 tyre up front as its wider but roughly 5mm less in diamter, i dont think this will mess with the ABS but i guess ill find out!

Also, while i remember i should post up these graphs.....

This is the HTA on normal high boost (25ish psi) vs an all out run with max boost screwed in (28ish psi) -

HTA76HivsMax_zps575f0e01.jpg

You can see there is no real gain in overall power from the higher boost level which shows the HTA wheel is basically out of puff!

This is the high and low boost run from last Saturday when we were having some ignition troubles -

Still makes more power on 20psi that it did on the old GT turbo at 24psi :D

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
