I saw PJ on Thursday. He said with the dollar the way it is he won't do them.

All good. As I mentioned earlier, there are another two sets between mates to use for fabrication. No drama.

That gate position issue isn't cool.

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

We go our Tial pair through VPW.

Hmm, i didnt check to see how close those 2 gates were on a 6boost manifold.

@ Buraz, What did you do to make them fit? (so i dont need to pull everything out to check)

Just clocked them around on the V band mount to clear each other?

It's just a bitch to do anything really!! Just played around too much and wasted time. Best would have been to extend and separate them a bit. They basically lean on eachother, especially the hot side of one wastegate is leaning on the top of the other. Apparently it can be bad as it can damage the inside diaphragm. Yeh just clocked them around but it's not as easy as it sounds. As the v bands are in the way of eachother too.

Hard to explain but a pain in the arse.

So, had a delivery today. 1 gate only. :/.

I also noticed the send date on the package. One day after I asked for a refund. Funny that!. Came from NZ though.

Give me the other gate. Won't be dealing with them again!

I have no words Paulie other than tear someone's asshole up.

That's simply outright appalling

Housing to gasket size is atrocious. The manifold to gasket was pretty much spot on.

Micko matched it up. No point having a massive lip!

Dump tacked up. We cut down a 3 to 5 inch expander at 4 inch. The 3 to 4 in the same length was far too long.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
