blamin the ATO just makes us feel better. it puts a face to the empty promises and hope we all cling to each year. the shadow behind the mask, personified.

I should write a play. 'Phantom Of The Tax Office'

inb4 it's your own money fgts...if you got buggerall or a bill then you paid buggerall tax or have a terrible accountant. Can earn 50k a year and get a 20k tax return if you want the ATO to hang onto it for you til tax time.

Those with less of a return are generally better off because, if they were clever and put their extra monies into interest accounts or wise investments, they made gains instead of the government getting rich off your shit. They technically made ~$90 off Leighs tax return.

And never plan your finances/bills/expenses around getting a good return...unless you can properly plan the return...in which case you probably don't need an accountant to do it for you.

The informeter tells me I hit 2.86 bar between shifts, when the auto fails to find the next gear in time for the soft limit. Generally 30psi pulls fairly solidly though. :P

Stock VQ25det FTW.

the skyline had a split vac line to the gate, stuck it on a dyno and it maxed out the dynos map sensor and my boost gauge. so it was somewhere north of 42 psi, the ECU pulled so much timing and added so much fuel it was shooting droplets of fuel unburnt out the exhaust and all over the wall along with a diesel like black cloud, dropped 100kw too for a mere 290kw run.

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago, wastegate line popped off and it ran 3bar+ for a few days (no idea how much as that was the sensor's limit.) It caused the head bolts to stretch and split the head gasket. Still no det, just masses of torque.

hm.

yeah i get what you mean, but the climate in vic is such that, driving a skyline means auto pull over the moment a cop spots you. probably not too worth it to be wasting cash modifying only to return to stock.

then again, might have something to do with me driving a yellow skyline.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
