hmmm...i dont know....

what i would do is look at random cars....and see what cars have indicators that might fit if they have spots in front bars.....

but try contacting nissan...they can usually get that crap from japan....ummmm and that other place that gets all the stock parts....

does anyone have the size of the gtr indicators because i think they are about 25mm (i think thats what your meant) radius...

is it www.justjap.com.au

??

edit: i couldnt find anything on justjap...what about fibrevision or somewhere like that im sure they could get some....

i can post a pic on the 29th of january. thats when the car gets back from the shop. I took this option cuz theres no way in hell i'm payin for genuine GTR ones, ($330) when im just as happy with cheaper ones ($4.95 each). Because the lamps are a bit bigger then the hole, then they stick out a lil bit, but i like it that way. I'll b sure to post pics.

Thanks Paul

yeah, ive got the GTR/400R ones in my 400R front bar.. at $160 a pop they arent cheap, lucky they came with my car..

trailer lights ive seen are very similar, basically just a yellow dome with a black shroud, and cost alot less :D

there are 2 types of trailer lamps.. the big square edged round ones that stick out heaps and look shizzle

or go to WA salvage and get the smaller more rounded ones... they fit really well and look quite OEM if done right

now alternatively... i think its the pajero or the daihatsu terios or something that uses a clear round indicator that you will find useful..

post a pic first though please..

So far, I went to few places around town looking for my indicators, only one place have been helpful and that is Xtreme Machines.....Credit to them . They know customer service.

All of the other shops, I won't name them , have been more than un-pro.........:rofl:

REsult = me not having my front bar put on, and now it looks I will be mounting my old bar back on to go to the cruise this Sunday. I am mad. Sick of people telling you they will call and they don't. sorry guys about this but it had to comeout..... :D

As far for the Extreme Machines, guys go in there and see what nice place it is and how organised it is. Very well done:)

White lenses, orange globes :D Would absolutely look the shizzle on your car cos it's white Al :D

I can't say I've seen them in trailer lights, but you might want to try Bunnings, as we stocked trailer lights there a few years (orange lenses but)

And you're right about some shops *cough* "oh, he only wants trailer lights, and he's not gonna spend megabucks at our shop, bugger it" is often the way.....

    • Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.
    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
