Answers:

1) Yes I did get some footage of your GTR blasting away ;) I was thinking at first you were being a tool and just hogging the tape but then I figured what you were actually doing :D It's all good - but meant I caught up very very slowly around those bends (FARKIN TYRES)

2) Yes I did see that white GTR, it was going past that roundabout just as we crossed over that bridge - very nice indeedy

was that a GTR?got like 5 people in it?

i had a good time regardless..

i didnt know what that GTR was doing, the road was dead straight and hes going 60 in a 70 zone and decides to hit breaks!?!

anyways i was unlucky that i was 1st of the four to overtake and he got me..

Yer I was right behind you in the white 33 - I was shitting myself as he flew up behind us. Damn unlucky mate ;)

Wilch.. cheers for the heads up

why did no-one mention this earlier ;)..

Was it mainly doing it when I was going full throttle, I think it's the fact that the car is running really rich.. was a/f of about 10.5 when I got it dynoed..

I wound down the boost for the trip home.. hmm.. brown smoke.. that's not the best..

Might have to see how it runs when I get home, it's damn hard to see things like that when your driving thanks for letting me know..

it stalled when I came off the freeway.. restarted - blew a heap of shit than seemed to clear up.. wasn't blowing anything out of the ordinary when i was sitting in the car park @ thornleigh when we finished up..

hopefully just the richness, but you never know.. didn't seem to be having issues making boost - so I think the turbo is still ok..

Well Links you're not the only one running rich... I washed my car the night before the cruise, touched it up Sunday morning and then came home for another wash down to get rid of all the bugs and crap~

I was REALLY astonished at the amount of black soot that had developed on my rear bar despite having the car tuned. Like it's not thick soot just a light coating. Think I'm going to need to look into a new o2 sensor ;)

Did I mention it backfires constantly when I go off the throttle and it's been spooling hard.. not good ;) think it's excess fuel just getting dumped into the dump-pipe which ignites instantly.. sounds like someones making pop-corn just under my feet..

Same here stan.. back of mine has heaps everywhere on the ass of it.. thought yours would be a bit better with your SAFC-2..

Edited by Links

It's not heaps... just a very very fine coat of soot ~ doesn't piss me off about the richness since I'm now getting about 400+ per tank afte SAFCII, just pisses me off that i have to clean the rear bar each time ;)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
