So the latest with my car is that I dont think its the turbos. After finding some long fingers and taking more pipe work off they spin fine with no play. The swirl marks that I saw from down the mirror where just fine oil and dust.

Going back to the cat it wasn't collapsed but it has a bit of carbon build up in it. Would this cause a huge restriction. It also has a blue tinge to it so it suggests its getting hot. After the shudder the exhaust note was quieter.

If I had blown a turbo I would of thought I wouldn't get any boost?

Im still getting 10 out of the 20 that it was set to. Plenty of pressure on the wastegate.

Ive checked all pipework and boost hoses. Car still starts and drives ok it just wont get the boost it used too.

Have I missed something before I put it all back together? Or do I need to pull more apart. I havent checked the back of turbos they are N1s so I would think the wheel is still there.

If I were you Brad I would take the GTR for a quick burn (very late at night) with the exhaust and cats removed and see if it will make 20psi. If it does, then it rules out the cats or collapsed exhaust out of the equation.

Bit of work done today. :)

Motor in, then gearbox in, now tomorrow to cut intercooler holes :)

nice!

ps: on your yahoo travels luke, can you keep an eye out for a 4" hks super drager cat back for a jza80 for me ? do u know how much they go for...need 1 real soon...? Thanks.

Good to see that thing getting together now. Will come and lend a hand/have a beer with ya when I am free mate :D

I just worked out the cause to my boost problem. It was a half blocked cat. There was a fair bit of carbon build up. It was very black inside. The cat should be a nice brown colour inside from the carbon being burnt off. Anway did the cowboy thing and bashed it out. Now the car boosts even better than before.

Since were talking about tunes. Should I get my car tuned again? Only because last time it would of had a part blocked cat. And now it flows better.

I always thought running N1s @ 20psi would get more than 265awkw.

not sure if anyone has read this about iphones/devices, but really apple didn't test them in australia based upon the temp restrictions did they ? even outside the car they get over that hot ?

Apple over temp warning

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
