could see that comment coming a mile away lol, its stainless steel.

its also a reputable brand.

stainless is brittle as hell tho... thats why they only use it for display swords... live blades only run HRC60-65 steel ;\

Maybe its metal fatigue? stainless is cool to bling stuff up but if its the undercarriage who cares what it looks like?

mines scraped to buggery in either case

-D

My justjap 3" bellmouth dump-front pipe is going strong 5yrs down the track. Great value for money.

As for short split dumps, I'm running Hks split dumps on the rb26 engine. Hasn't been tuned & driven in anger (yet) so I can't comment on pros/cons in this instance as yet.

It's been covered in the defect thread before .. I have an old copy of the stats here - pretty sure it's still accurate for R34:

Thanks for that- I had a search and couldnt find anything- the best i got was a PDF say legal requirements but nothing specific to r34. And yes I know that any cheek they will defect ya---this is a case of a 34 having it's coilovers put back in after an inspection and the owner wants to bump them up to the correct ride height as they are well below it currently--just to take some of the attention away.

Also JRM I noticed you has commented in a thread about mfd installation to gtt-I'm

Asuming u did this to yours? Did u have the tv button on yours? I'm in the middle of putting that into mine at the moment-not to keen on soldering the pins on the board to disable the Japanese message- :/

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to raise mine since the 18" have gone on. The factory 17" it was sitting *just* on the lowest legal, with the LMGT4's it's down to 335/340 I seem to recall. I only had them on for a week before the car was in for repairs, and I haven't seen it since, though.

Yup, I have an MFD in my GTT. Mine came with the TV button on it, yeah - I've never actually used it though, I have a 7" in-dash touchscreen for my car-pc, so it probably changes things..

Ah fair enough- mines not from a vspec2 so it doesn't have the button- so far the button is added-in the middle of inserting RCA plug and solderin it in and disabling the jap message-- there's not a lot of room for error in there. I have touchscreen DVD player and nav and what not- but figured I would try make use of the function being there--reverse cam/DVD/ whatever i send to it.. Did u get exhaust and intake sensors wired up? I wired my intake to AMB sensor just to give the reading rather than display a 0 reading. Accidentally wired exhaust to AMB first and it was reading between 570 degrees to 610 degrees whereas the intake displays etwren 0-15 depending what the temp it outside--the mfd must use the signal differently as the same signal gives two readings.. Interested in purchasing the two sensors and adding them on also. I hear they aren't cheap!!

Ive got a bellmouth but it cracks on the flange every year or so, luckilly my next door neighbour is a professional welder at ASC :D

Was it your neighbbour that fixed it last year? It should last longer than that if he worked at ASC :laugh:

I didn't use the ambient sensor for intercoler temperature, as it made my air-conditioning unit play up (it has an ambient display temperature anyway). I have since purchased the sensor, but I haven't gotten around to fitting it mainly because there's no-where factory to put it and I need to talk to someone with the 'skillz' to figure out a place to put it.

With regards the exhaust temperature sensor - I'd love to fit it - but at $300-400, it's a difficult thing to justify for me...

Edit: Keep eyeing off this thread about NACA ducts in the bonnet like the R34 VS2 .. whilst the car is in the repair shop is definitely the right time to do it ..

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
