Well she's detailed and she's home. And even an amateur photographer can't go wrong in this light. ...whilst waiting for wifey to come out and do shopping.

Stretch lol, you get around the forum if I got it right :)

Rims are Advan RS-Ds 18X10 the tyres are 255/40 but have a set of Yokohama 265/35 AD08Rs ready to go on after I get the car back and use up the rubber on the car now :)

255/40s on an 18x10 rim :blink:

I too call you stretch

Stop mucking around and put those AD08rs on

haha, I thought the stretch was from a wasteland thread I was playing on :)

The tyres were on the car when I bought it and as the car has been living away from home most of the time I have not bothered. I want play a little bit when I run it in before I put the AD08Rs on.

I wanted 275/35 but they do not make a 275, just 265 then 285 ?

BJ said these 265s are the recommended size and I was not sure about the 285s but they do not last forever and if I like them, next time :)

R33's you can get away with fitting nice phat tyres but the R32's not so much

Yeah, gota call and could have got them for $220 as they got a lot in and trying to flog them :(

At first I was looking at going to 19x10.5 with the 285s but for whatever reason I changed my mind, cannot remember why, too much red maybe :)

When you are going through a learning curve with these cars it is not easy with anything you want to do, brakes and tyres are amongst the most confusing :/

But everything can become confusing and the more you read the worse it gets. In the end you have to make your mind up what you want from the car for yourself, then make the choice and hope it gets you what you want, it can be a costly choice if you get it wrong, lol

I totally understand what you mean. I've been there.

However you can only try to do what you think is right.

Sometimes you get it wrong but that's how you learn.

Talking to peeps in the business is sometimes the best thing instead of researching

After researching for ages I did speak to like mined blokes on SAU on just about everything I have done so far, then researched the info given. But they still have their preferences but a great guide to know what they have done has produced the type of results I wanted.

After I was sure what I had done to the car was not getting me the response I wanted I decided on the Nitto 3.2 stroker.

I kept everything from the earlier mods I did except the cams. I am sure I can get a lot more from the car but I do not need it :)

Probably went into over kill with the drive-train, but it all sounded soooooo GOOD :)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
