Just a small correction.. you can BUY everything that the cyber evo and tilton has run in the past. It even has a catalogue number and there are numerous cars in japan and usa running it. In the case

the transient response on the powertune car seems excellent I'm skeptical for the ARK R32. I think they're putting too much value in theory and not enough in simplicity or reliability. I anticipate

Thanks for this info, I'll pass it on to a mate of mine who is having/has had work done there just to make sure he checks everything himself.

That's utterly appalling and is grounds for legal action, in terms of negligence.

Sux is one way to describe it.

On closer inspection we believe it's been ground by hand, not as a result of scrubbing.

There's only the lightest witness mark on the rotor, certainly not the damage you'd expect if it was in contact enough to destroy the arm.

The problem is the clearance to the rotor, obviously when the rotors where installed on my car, instead of correctly spacing them, the person (who shall remain nameless) chose to butcher my arms instead of doing things properly. To hell with my expensive arms or my safety!!

In the words of the workshop who currently has my car:

The issue is the incorrect brake rotor offset. The existing front brake set up is an absolute mess.[/size]

· No rotor location to hub, other than on the thread of the studs

· Rim location to hub is only 1 mm

· Calliper not central to rotor

· Calliper body fouling on dog bone

· Calliper mounts in uprights have been drilled (opened up to allow radial alignment of the calliper to the rotor )

· Dog bone to upright threads stripped – calliper was loose.

· Etc etc

WTF!!!, that's is truely farked up, luckily that didn't end badly for you whilst lapping this thing

And the reason I do all my own work, then I know what's going on and feel safer tracking them

It's been like it for atleast 12months. Lucky for me my car hasn't done many laps during this time......given I've only made it to lunch twice in the last 12months.

We've been so busy chasing "other" issues it's been missed.

Certainly now on the must fix list!!

It will be resolved properly after WTAC. For the moment we'll just try and add some strengthening and do minimum laps Fri/Sat.

Pretty much all you do at WTAC anyway... Pick a session with reasonable weather and go do 1 hot lap, then park it like a pro.. ;)

I hate dodgy workmanship with a passion. People like that need to be taken out back and beat with a hose.

On a positive note, all the best to those competing in this year's WTAC. Eager to see how Richo goes in clubsprint.

So apparently it is going to rain Friday and probably Saturday.

Will be interesting to see who has done some wet weather testing and how quickly the teams respond

Did you see the rooster tail from the S15 in testing :woot:

Is there much cover at the track for spectators? I've never been.

Bring an umbrella?

Yes and no... Brolly is a good investment me thinks...

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
