You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

How do you drive around with broken suspension and not notice till you look under the car?

More to the point how do you have plural damaged suspension?

car has accident history? (or is this a new shell?)

This is a new shell.

Yes I meant the hankook RS3 sorry. If they are equiv, and $250 a tyre, well.. that's some coin saved.

re: My suspension

I hit a kerb, hard. Damaging a wheel, and bending a tie rod end.

Got that fixed and wheel repaired and new castor arms. all good.

Went under car, noticed the bracket I don't know the name of (what the front sway bar bolts to) has literally snapped off in half.

So that's nice. No idea when that happened.

I also asked TT to set my ride height at 350FR and 345R height. It felt floaty as FAAARK in the rear and I just blamed it on hicas till I actually measured the car and found the front is 330mm and the rear is 368mm.

So yeah....

How f**king hard did you hit it!? I went through a HUGE pothole a couple of weeks back. Took chunks out of both LH wheels and threw my alignment out. Gonna call the council and see what they'll do about it.

Note: I did not notice this occur. It happened some time after traction tyres installed the castor arms and replaced inner tie rods.

Nah, ever since I got the rears put in, I noticed it felt really tail... 'rolly' as though the weight balance was 99% front, all the time. But I supplied the struts and springs to TT, as they came off the old car.

But stupid me didn't really think about the fact that while the fronts came off my old car, the rears struts were swapped, so the setting for rear height was lost when that happened. Did give them ride heights but as they (TT) figured they were swapping from one car to another they didn't need adjusting.

I had no idea the front sway was basically removed from the car via kinetic force.

If it all gets fixed up and it still feels weird then I dunno. Car didn't have that behaviour on the springs it initially came with, nor did my old car with the exact same setup.

but I'll probably blow my engine up again between now and when its time for another alignment

so this was the tyre that won street class at WTAC first 2 years.

then Yokohama sponsored and forced people on to their tyre.

so yeah it good.

That's The only prob with NT05's

The indicators coke up reeeeally fast. The trick is to not give a f**k and drive the shit out of them anyway. I used to rock mine well past the indicators

This is what I did.. although in wet you had to be real dam careful

I think I got 10,000km or maybe bit more out of them.. rears were shagged but fronts were still fine, usually I go down to the wire.. alignment Greg?

AD08 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RS3

By far.

Why? (srs question)

Longevity?

The NT05's are just touching the indicators in the center now, on the sides there's maaarginally more, but barely enough to catch a fingernail on.

Where else to go for alignment duties? TT always been nice to me, but heard a few things now...

Yeah i got an easy 10k from the fronts for daily duties and a few deca's. Probably would have got to 15 but I usually put them in the rears and fried them.

I disagree about the wet though. A car that needs NT05's is going to f**k you in the ass in the wet no matter what

That's a good point, when road is just wet its true it's more so when it' soaked with a few mm of sitting water even shitty tyres with channels to get rid of the water makes me feel a little better instead of a flat bald tyre aquaplaning

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
