aftermarket bov is super retarded on a street car that the stock bov can handle

when you pop the bonnet you might as well call the cop a fag too

Agree.. After market bov is waste of money. Should've just got and. 8MR bov if u wanted an upgrade..

Will be increasing boost, don't think stock 8 will be able to hold. 8MR bov was the other option but it's pretty similarly priced, so the TS should be good choice for me. Dual Port for options, but emo doesn't like atmo usually anyway iirc.

:( I was gonna book my car in for a tune @ Chequered next Friday... except now it's forecast to be 39!? Anyone shed some light on a full tune being done on a hot day like that?

I wouldn't recommend it...

When tuning you push the car hard to find its maximum, then you take out a little bit as a safety margin to accomodate for hot days, slightly different fuel, etc... If you tune on a crazy hot day then the maximum is going to be lower, and then you're never going to be sure just how much of a margin to take out... My last tune with Trent was fuarken hot, think it was a 40c day. His ventilation is pretty good, but it was sucking in the air from above his factory through the roof which was still pretty damn warm so the car was getting really hot and pinging off its tits.

If you can reschedule, I would... but who knows their schedule and when they can fit you in next.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
