Auto / manual

Does not compute, does not compute

Was SST though

Also drove housemates SR20... also does not feel laggy.

Honestly kind of made me think the RB25 is pretty f**king laggy for the capacity, given how good other 2.0's actually seem to be relative to it

Felt a bit like the 2.5 Subaru engines being 2.5 to keep up with Mitsu's 2.0

You have a huge turbo on yours though, don't you?

Can't compare response with nearly twice the power

After driving a slightly Modified 8MR, then getting back in my car, off boost wasn't as annoying for me anymore

once im running boost ill take you for a spin. not sure what you interpret as "lag" but big cams certainly hold things back (until on boost...)

driving car home tomorrow :) been a busy few days on it.

that's cos it got outsourced to the singaporeans, same as citylink.

If there's one thing Singaporeans can do, it's build shit

Using people from the rest of the world

Car related question: do I need gasket sealant to install a catback..? or is it recommended..? or just the gaskets good enough, keeping in mind it's a cheap-ish x-force exhaust..

net glitched out.

got locked out of our NAB business account.

account is in my name and partners name.

nab acknowledges that i am also on the account, wont give me a new password.

partner is currently OS.

daf**k man.

Couldn't tell you what to do without being at work. End of the day it will all come down to what paperwork you signed when you at the account up initially. If it says both ID's required then you's in for a bad time

Not really that huge given the difference in displacement, but I guess its gonna be noticeable at under 100kmhs in any case.​

260RWKW in a SR20 did NOT feel laggy. It was enough to kick the back out at 30kmh in 3rd at part throttle, boost is pretty much on any time you hit the throttle.

I guess it depends on how much powarz you are making on your SR20, the example I was using is a GTX2863R at about 260RWKW, but at the same time feels like its the sweet spot, would lack traction at much more than that, and just get lag for no real benefit.. in that specific setup.

it is entirely possible my car is a complete clusterf**k nugget

At least you're out of the way for Headspec to start on mine now, i.e replace a head gasket so I should be good to go in 2021.

lol. yes it did take a very long time for me to get my car in there, but was kinda my fault it took a good part of a week to get it out the door. thank you for your patience. (but also keep in mind ive been on the imaginary waiting list for many months).

similar power on same-ish turbo. but big cams, FWD and less weight. traction only an issue if driven like a muppet.

dont give up on car just yet, may need an open mind to overcome some gremlins though.

tbh I have ordered the gasket and studs but they haven't arrived yet. Will be keen to see what actually happened, as it was picked by my keen spidey sense of "SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT" which has been honed by destroying everything over the years.

I may end up going a 1.06 rear "just because" because HS believe that I've lifted the head due to backpressure, even though you'd think a .82 on a GTX35 would be enough to get the air out.

But then again, who knows what'll happen once it comes apart. I will be pretty keen to see what studs were actually in the engine, if they were ARP2000's after all then they were under-torqued on the blueprint.

If its only that, I'll be a happy f**kin camper lol

from what I've heard (and its all second-hand info if you know what I mean), the last motor was bit warped and you're running stock head gasket on a big power/boost 2.8 setup? i know its a metal gasket, but thats a lot of boost. Tony runs factory, but he's got a big-ass turbo with less boost.

there is talk of an underlying issue that hasnt been addressed causing this warping. wont know till its torn apart.

As it should be

And greg pls...no car is kicking out at 30km/h in 3rd gear without a clutch dump on shot tyres in the rain!

There's nothing magical in the Jap 2 litre engines, unless very high comp and E85, that's going to make them more responsive or less laggy than a 2.5 with similar top end power. I'm yet to drive one more responsive than my 2.5 that doesn't die in the ass after the mid range cause of its tiny turbo...happy to be shown otherwise...

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.     
    • 5th November if you want to come out for a spin wakfield
