"-Ceramic Turbine

-Water & Oil Cooled

-Ball-bearing core for quicker spool

-Minimal shaft play

Can handle upto 1.2 Bar (18PSi) of boost (quoted from Zoom magazine)"

ceramic turbine handling 18psi? how sure of this are you?

Well im sad to report this guy is a Bad trader, partly.

Bought the turbo for $400 + freight, arrived no probs etc

Open the box, all there, look at turbo, yep shaft play as in post, then i flip it over to look at turbine..... and find its got chunks missing out of the blades...

Ie .. its Stuffed ......

So i put turbine housing in vice and loosen the bolts, center spins easily indicating it has been previously removed (anyone who has pulled turbos apart will know it takes alot of effort with a soft faced hammer , loosening the bolts as you go so as not to let it fly off and damage the wheel, to get apart once they have been run for abit) Took the photo below.

Anyway i gave him the chance to respond, his responce to me saying there were chunks missing was, "i put everything i had in the box" ... then i posted this pic to him showing what i meant, and got no responce....

Next day i asked for $100 back to cover damage, $300 is pretty good for a stuffed turbo !, but still no responce.

So all i can do is post this and warn others...... such a shame.

Other than this , the transaction went smooth etc

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
