Nah nothing's up man

Put go kart together

Hillclimb

New axle and springs in boat trailer so it will make the trip north at Xmas

Fit radio and whatever else I need to boat to make it sea worthy

Xmas parties

Track day for go kart at Wakefield

Fix axle seal in Melisa's car

Fix skyline and service

And want to try and get house painted as well

Just a few things to do

pretty quick!

benji theres a socket you can get that makes that a 2 minute job. a socket with a cut up it so the wire doesnt get tangled

yes used that socket but ABS booster is in the road and the heat shield for the manifold. Had to use a hole heap of extensions and joints lolz.

ended up having to take off my strut brace to screw new one in (I hand screwed it in as didn't want to risk cross-threading).

I will keep an eye on any beers (if its an open invite :) )

My car is off to Nathan @ Newcastle Dyno tomorrow for a tune and boost controller! Not expecting numbers much different than standard but hoping to get a mid range improvement.

Have you got adjustable cam gears? they beef up the midrange quite alot, they did for mine anyways.

Only mods are -7's, xforce dumps (I was told this is helpful when changing turbos), upgraded fuel pump and splitfire coilpacks (prob don't count as a mod).

It doesn't feel as responsive since the turbo changes and I am concerned about running these with standard ECU and boost control. The only reason I have made any changes was due to the possible failure of the ceramic turbos and everything else has kind of flowed on.

It is getting a PFC and Greddy profec-b tomorrow.

After this I plan on keeping it as stock as possible, well for a while at least :)

Edited boost control reference

haha yeah, probably should have explained that.............I know the standard boost solenoid does its job, but keen on running a low boost and hi boost with appropriate tune.

I may have been misled but a few people have said running -7's can see boost spikes with standard ECU and solenoid.............and its a neat excuse for the wife anyways!

The only things i would have added to that list is injectors and cam gears, the cam gears should improve response (only if its tuned properly aswell etc)... with the above you should be able to get 300+ kw at all 4 i would think...

your injectors (if there stok) will probably limit you to around 260ish and stop you from making best use out of the nice turbos you now have :)

hope that helps, although sounds like it may be a little bit late if its going in tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice.

I did consider making more changes but budget and trying to figure out what my plan is means that a couple of small changes now and then probably wait for the inevitable bang before doing more.

On a side note I am looking to change the color of the BBS LM rims, do you guys have an experience with anyone locally? I may just do it myself but if there is someone good then lazyness will prevail.

Nathan does great work

Rims are something you can do yourself but would be better left to the pros

Paint is one thing you get what you pay for and if the finish isn't spot on it will detract from the rest of the car

I can pay t but it is a 1-2 metre finish

That is it looks great till you get that close then you can see the minor blemishes

Is okay for racecar but not my car

Find the best painter you can afford wether it be a panel shop or bike repair/custom shop and get some quotes

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
