Few months later this happened, poor thing :/

New turbo on and shit, still to be tuned properly.

Larger wastegate and headstuds, fix the flex fuel stuff, battery relocation and a continue to tidy the engine bay more. I bought another gtr shell as a project track car so i suspect this motor will go into that car.

love the wheels, my head is slowly moving away from the meister/professor style of stepped lips and bolted centers (which i still hrrrng for) and really appreciating smooth spoked/ concave wheels.
and those are a nice classic.

So due for a little bit of an update. Drove this around for a day to tune it towards the end of march and found:

Alternator no longer works properly when it gets warm, resulting in low fuel pressure etc etc

Bovs are open at idle and dont seem to like holding pressure

Aparently i cant run any less that 23ish psi without pulling the gate out to replace spring (ran 14psi before no worries?)

Solved all these problems by removing the interior........ Well in my mind at least.

Plan is to run NSW time attack for a laugh, probably need to get some tyres sorted haha. So weekend just gone removed seats and vacuumed carpet, removed amplifier and unnessisary cabling in boot. Started to remove interior trims to fit harness bar and continue wire tidy. Still have to fix above mentioned problems before it gets tuned again but at least i have a course of action.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
