Hello all

I have holidays right before xmas for 1 week. I want to get mods like : Intercooler, boost controller, heavy duty clutch, computer, pod filter done in one hit. How long would you say it would take to get those things done and then dyno as well?

Is that amount of time going to be enough? I live 500kms from perth :) Hence the reason I have limited time up there.

Thanks

Glen..

intercooler takes an hour and bit to fit roughly.. thats a DIY jobbie though using a KIT like the Hybrid one...boost controller.. if manual is very quick.. electronic is a bit of stuffing around.. so 2 hours or so there. computer same thing..plugins you can plug in yourself.. 15 mins... or a workshop doing the dyno tuning will do it all for you..clutch sorry cant help there. pod filter is about 15 mins...if you have the afm adaptor. and that will include removing the old airbox..

yeah id ring the workshop up two months notice to get all the parts in for you (since you are wanting quite a bit fitted to the car). Then id say fitting probably wouldnt be anymore than 2 -3 days depending on the workload of the workshop. But there are people on here that own workshops that can clarify for you. Im just guesstimating.

The more organised you are .... the more organised the workshop can be and the quicker things can get done. Know exactly what you want on the car .... there are many different kinds of ECU, FMIC, Boost controllers etc out there.... if you arent ordering in the parts yourself - then give them plenty of notice to get them in for you. :)

Or if you want.. get a hole saw and a drill

get an intercooler kit there are cheaper ones advertised on here i think but you can get a hybrid kit for $1150 and thats with polished aluminium pipes and includes hoses etc.. and full instructions including pictures.

That will take you a couple of hours to fit.

and about 3 days to get delivered to your door.

same goes for the boost control you can get it on the same delivery for about $360 or something

same goes for the pod filter.

take a weekend to get the cooler and pod fitted and then drive down to perth and get the boost control and the ecu and the clutch fitted.. a clutch place can do it if you book it in etc and then you can pick it up or wait there and then go to a workshop for ecu install and tune.

it cant be that hard..just get to planning

You can actualy get all these mods done in Bunbury if it is easier, quiet a bit closer to your current location, bart from south west brakes does good deals on the clutches same day install, and the rest can be handle by a number of different companies Adrenalin Performance are a group of guys no nonsence but there are plenty of great shop in perth to. Best of luck with the mods

if you want to bore out your cylinders for extra power you can put exactly 100 grains of sand into your fuel tank and that will go through the system and you will notice the power gain within two weeks

no idiot, this only works with diesel

so fill her up with diesel first ok

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
