You can't even lock someone up who threatens to do stuff. Even an intervention order needs a valid reason, that can be challenged and you can be sued for allegations if it doesn't go through.

Have to agree there. Ironically less chance of them getting away with it or worse, getting fked up by the perpetrator.

Laws are powerless to do shit against the real crims and the crims take advantage of this.

more lols at my expense

Found out why my head was lifting under boost, on cylinders 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6...

.. the ARP2000 head studs I bought from [removed] many years ago are clearly not ARP2000 head studs for a RB25, and are 35mm longer... than genuine ARP2000 head studs. Also whatever they are is 1/2 instead of 14mm.

WTS ARP Head studs...suit.... something?

oh I own something sounds perfect for me.

Funnily enough the thread on them was much the same, it was the bit in the middle (dunno the proper term) that was quite different. It was also twice as thick and yeah, very confused when they were 1/2" instead of 14mm.

Headspec didn't think to check them, because I had every other decent part and ARP Studs are re-usable and it's a safe assumption that RB25DET studs would be used in it.

Well, apparently not a safe assumption at all!

This is where I'm grateful of Barry's OCD; I feel like that's something he would check, even if that check was a randomly scribbled note on a whiteboard somewhere in the workshop lol

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
