No haven't received them yet. I was in contact with customs this morning and he was suppose to get back to me this arvo. I will contact him in the morning and update at lunch. If I get them tomorrow you should get it by sat.. We will see tomorrow.. All the paper work is done I just have to receive them..

Just got off the phone with customs. He is organising a courier to deliver the kits for tomorrow morning or arfternoon.. If I get it in the morning I will send the kits tomorrow. If afternoon the day afer... Finally comming to an end. :O

i just looked at your gb#1 web page, the kits are in sydney. im in adelaide. your in brisbane. wouldnt it cost less to get customs to send one straight to me instead of up to you then down again to me or is it a thing of the customs fella's not being able to comprehend this.

just a thought to speed things up and save money.

cheers

Unfortunately I cant do that. As basically I'm the distributor. Customs wont drop ship parcels for me..

Getting the cargo sent up to brisbane does not cost me any more than the ship landing in brisbane. The only thing it does cost is time. Really the cargo should have been sent to brisbane not Sydney. But they though this would be the fastest way, sent to sydney first then to brisbane. They are gonna be lucky little kits seeing all of australia before they make skyline car go fast ;)

received kit. very happy. looks chromed not polished, also only has four joiners so i take it i have to use the stock one as the fith. but again, very happy.

wont have a chance to install it untill the 29th but ill post up any probs ideas i have when i do.

cheers

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
