Where did you get the alternator from?

Marcus/Elrodeo 666. He is stripping his car so I'm raiding it :D. If you want one, contact him. It will be cheaper than anyone online ;)

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

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

That is a nice chunky alternator! Hope you can sort something out. Love to see what the fancy pantsy head can do!

And the cams. Duration ain't big... but they sound like monsters!!!

Finally got on the dyno yesterday after replacing my rear turbo core.

Spent about half an hour on there upto 5500 rpm. Little oil leak coming from the sandwich plate and the water thermostat doesn't look like Italy opening the whole way. It's a brand new OEM unit. FFS.

Yavuz was saying it's asking more much more fuel and it's very grunty low end. Sounds promising!!!

Sounds good Paul! Looking forward to the end result!

What did you end up doing for the other -5 ?

Put it on the wall with the busted gearbox, pistons, head and oil pump. Haha

What happened to the 6466?

Did I miss something?

I wanted a back to back with this head and cam combo. The 6466 is sitting out at Unigroup making sure the desk doesn't fly away.

Ok updated time.

312 at 5300 or so with absolutely no timing in it. Spent about 90 mins on the dyno getting loaded like a whore. Time for some kms. Oh and bed the brakes in :D

Just in from the first drive. About 250 kms all up. M7 up and down the gears, back to Unigroup then through the natio. The bloody thing was wet which didn't help anything. RWD and semi's made it difficult to load it up hills. Second was useless. It feels like it's getting stronger mad stronger. Not a drop of oil out of the breathers.

Tomorrow is more driving and somehow an alignment. The car is stupid low. I can't turn a corner without the rears scraping. Even loading it up a hill in 3rd and 4th rub. Shit low car!!!

      My BMW 335i

      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.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
