Hey fellas, First post, so thought I'd share my EVO 9 with you all: Will hopefully own an R34 GT-R in about a years time, but for now this is my beast. Hope you guys like it! All phot

This is mine, had it for a little over a year now. Who'd have thought how much of a headache the older evos are! Gotta replace the gearbox in this one soon

Nice!

A mate of mine has a 6 and another a 10. The 10 sees a lot of track and all he ever does is fill up the tank, which makes (not so) secretly wish I had bought an Evo instead of a GTT. But I'm sure the grass is always greener...

Correct.

I've got a breakdown of the difference between the 2 here

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/378971-The-Build-Of-The-Beast

I had a quick read. Looks interesting man. I saw you were looking to get the car tuned haha, noticed some misguided info on that thread on evo's having weak rods. this was only true on the evo 7 where it spits out a rod at 220awkw, That being said my evo 7 is at 250awkw with 470nm of torque stock turbo stock motor and still going strong :P Luck of the draw when it comes to 7s. 9s on the other hand, they go strong, well above 300awkw. 

A few guys i know run a bp71 turbo with e85 on stock evo 8s and 9s. A BP71 turbo + e85 gets you to 330awkw pretty easily and safely on a 8 or 9. Ported stock 9 turbo + e85 can get you close to 300awkw, with the added responsiveness of the mivec it will be killer. Low 11 second car. This is all on a stock long block, no forging. 

Ooo also forgot to mention the JDM 9 ecu supports flat foot shifting, launch control and anti-lag, so if you have the jdm 9 you might notice the antilag setup on the exhaust manifold :P

A bloke I work with has an evo x. Was pushing close to 300 awkw on e85 on standard setup. It ended up throwing a rod. So, even the 4B11 does have rod issues at high torque/hp. In saying all that, he used to drive it like it was stolen. To wrap this up, evo's are bloody amazing but just like everything there is some limits that need to be worked around. I have heard of guys limiting torque to reduce the strain on the rods.

Oh yea i agree, depending on how you drive it and the life its had it will make it weaker. Was your mates evo X a DSG? If so id assume those rapid shifts might incur some torque load on the motor considering the car is never off boost. The way the turbo comes on boost and the how wild the tune is can also determine the longevity of the motor, hence why bp71 is a popular choice (as well as fp's). That being said, lots of R&D has gone into making 300awkw reliable on stock block evos. Lots of forums in uk and us on people running 400+whp on their evos, some even running 500whp - though this is surley going to reduce engine life.

But yea you're right, it might be all in the tune, as you said limiting torque to prevent rod failure.

Don't drive it too much, will be $100k soon

Lol.

Needs paint.

Tried selling recently, kept getting offers for 25k 

Had 35k as price.

Similar with good paint were 45k.

Paint is approx 10k.

So, I figured, 45-10=35.

Apparently not.

People kept saying 35-10 for paint, so 25.

We will see what happens down the track.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
