add in a manifold and external gate adds more $$$$. Been in the wrx from the g series thread and it is great but the cost to do it I think out weighs what the average person needs. For myself it was an extra $1600-1800 to go G series (vband housing, manifold & gate) over the gen2 gtx and I am happy with what I have done. If/when they do a T3 housing for G30 that will be when I jump on that band wagon.

Back on topic, so when you appearing on The Block?

Who knows how long it'll be but it's coming...

So has it been on the dyno yet?

My own car? Nah been lazy. No incentive to get it on the dyno. House renos have taken priority lol.

I'm thinking of taking the motor out and putting in a Nitto oil pump, checking the bearings (sounds a bit "knocky" lately), and fitting a better balancer but that's effort.

oof...already? after all of... how few kms and no track time? ?

I did mince up the first set of Spool oil pump gears then replaced it with a new N1 pump and new Spool v2 gears. Then also noticed at high RPM (stationary) the power steering belt wobbles quite a bit, which shows signs of harmonics.

Sigh ?

Should have just popped in the stock NEO motor with a fresh HG, ARP studs and called it a day not get carried away and build the motor.

Drop the sump and check the bearings. Dont drive it til you do. Do the oil pump while it's apart, don't f**k around and risk $$ on the motor. 

You had it balanced right?

Yeah last time the oil pump went funny, I dropped the sump with the motor strapped up in place, no metal shavings and inspected 1x rod bearing and looked fine.

Crank was balanced, however I am starting to think it could the A/C idler too as there's a bit of play.

Yeah can check, but it's not an easy task!

Bathroom looks great, I'm sure that shower will get your wife wet. 

LOL you dirty white man

This week only, $240 for full set of Intima SR brake pads OR $250 for Elig Sports brake pads shipped with Invoice for Sumitomo caipers, i.e. Benshit DB1170 and DB1220.

Happily knock off $30 if you bank transfer (still get invoice, ShitPal takes a massive percentage for payment - so try and avoid)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
