Hey, yeh pretty much all sorted now. Haven't had a compression test done but she makes around the 400hp mark now which is good. Been ages since I've posted in this thread, can't remember if I updated

hmmm, I would say its the rears, around bends its all 4's

Sounds like you're making some decent torque there! Bit of a strange feeling when she breaks on all fours in corners hey...like driving on ice :D

How did you go fixing you car ?

Ah mate I'm sorry to report that she's still the same as she was. But as soon as I get some consistent full weeks of work I'll be able to buy those remaining diff parts and get a re-tune. Decided to put an end to using savings for the car work....evil money pits lol

Did u check the compression at all? I know 26's get really tired after 100 000km's

If all else has failed i'd run a comp test

Hey, yeh pretty much all sorted now. Haven't had a compression test done but she makes around the 400hp mark now which is good. Been ages since I've posted in this thread, can't remember if I updated it or not, but the main problem was very soft actuators. Have since then added about 7mm or so of preload to force those gates to stay shut and she is quite a monster. No 1000hp GTR but goes like shower of shit - puts a smile on my dial every time haha

Yeh I'd imagine the compression to not be 160+ across the board but she still feels alright. Guess she'd be due for an overhaul and some more power when the money's there for it...

400hp is heaps for street, im all about responsiveness and reliability, more hp then that only means there will be less goin on b4 it comes on and then BOOM snaps ya neck lol. I prefer linear power pull from the getgo, and atleast at that hp mark u dont need a rebuild/forgies!

Glad u got it all sorted out now, i know its a nightmare when ya troubleshooting, and the mechanics love it cuz they make more money guessin whats goin on while we go broke as a joke lol

Yeh it's definitely a lot of fun and even with it's ordinary tune it still is fairly responsive. I know what you mean with the lag and lack of responsiveness - that's why I got rid of my big singles. People must be used to some really laggy setups because every time I take people for a joy ride they comment on how soon and hard the turbos come on and how they pull to eternity haha! I reckon that these really are the best you can go for, for the 400hp mark...any less runs out of puff (with -7's being an exception I guess) and anything more will equal too much lag again and be a pain in day to day traffic. I've definitely learnt to set yourself a power goal and then select a turbo that will almost be maxed out by it....selecting turbos with ample headroom just equal massive lag especially if you don't really plan on maker more power in the near future =/ I'd rather just get the manifolds sorted and then just bolt on bigger and bigger turbos as you need them so that you always have a non-compromised setup.

Yes it's all sorted. What's sad is that the guys at Mercury didn't pick up on it either. They flogged the car all day long wondering why she had the flattest and most gradual boost curve. Came home, wound on some preload and voila, boost came on 1500 earlier with 1 bar by around 3.8-4k or so.

good to see it's sorted mate, how is the diff going ?

Hey Xklaba,

Yeh she goes alright but could obviously do with a nicer tune. Something to maybe give it some better economy for day to day driving would be awesome if that's even possible with these animals :P

As for the diff - I haven't put it in yet. I was unemployed for a while and didn't want to fork out for the remaining parts I needed so just left her in rear-wheel drive. Makes for a slippery car tho he he. I hope to get on to it soon tho

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
