cheers chad will do tomorrow.. had enough for today.. just took it for a run with bov's off and pipes blocked... still running like a pig... guess ill have to look harder and check absolutely everything.. man this is pissing me off

ok bought new hose clamps retensioned everything and checked all the pipes... went for a drive was still running somewhat unwell everytime i got to about 4000-5000rpm the bovs would just go off even with my foot flat?? does this still point to a boostleak issue? edit: just pulled off bov's and there is a difference between the 2... one is marginally stiffer than the other ?>

way to shoot a man in the foot lol. skyza, skyline.. haha i get it now "give your skyza a tickle"... almost sounds suss

clean the part of the house your wife hates cleaning the most. give your skyza a tickle, little detail. put on a roast so its ready when the mrs gets home. ey presto youve turned a day off into 2 weeks of freedom oh and if u play guitar have a lil jam to some of ur fav songs hahah

finally on holidays and giving the gtr some much needed love.. fixing a boost leak and a few other things i took my battery out because it had swolen and its leaked acid lifting some paint and leaving heaps of corrosion.. white/grteen powder... what would the best way to solve this be?? gonna head out and get a battery now but should i clean off corrosion give it a lick of rust converter than a hint of paint then a bit of vas?? or is there a better way to go about it?

thank you for the offer but i should be right with this one it.. if/when i get it sorted wouldnt mind picking ur brain about a few things.. hahaha yeah u've come back at its coldest! u'd have some off time back here for a while yeh? u taking the monster to any mallala outings while your back?? moreso wanna block off the bov's because im over the chatter.. when it was running sweet it was still irritating (occasionally unresponsive) i wouldnt mind catching up at some stage.. find out what your doing about oil cooling... i had pretty big issues at mallala due to oil cooled turbos... was scary apposed to chads good temps.

nice one chaddles looks like you had a tonne of fun!!

cheers ill make sure i pull it all appart, out and check for splits rather than just look over it briefly thanks for the combined ideas guys sent me in the right direction apposed to waisting heaps of money on a retune and parts i dont really need just yet.

thanks for your informative info andrew. how ya been anyway mate!? kinda off topic to the problem but if i block off my bov's temporarely will the turbo backspin cause much damage on linear baring turbos? even when the car is running well, chatter is a pain up the freeway so just thinking of ways to temporarily get rid of it.. got heaps to muck around with on my weeks holiday starting thrusday YAY

fanally got around for taking it for a small run. hits.8 ,1.0 1.1 bar fine and around 3500,4000 rpm same as always ... does this mean its not a boost leak?? was running like an absolute pig.. so hard to actually build boost to get her moving withought the bov chatter starting up.... on low revvs my bloody hilux 2.8 d is 10 times more responsive.. literally... im stumped even on 1.1 bar showing on my avcr to was hardly boogeying at 5000 rpm

lol and how much are new factory bov's gonna set me back?? just took her for a little run and it was shocking!! bov's constantly chatting, and goin no where this special task force "if" used correctly could be a good thing.. target the big carparks at really late hours.. usually where the trouble goes down.. got a feeling alotta unmarked random cars will be cruising around for the next 3 months

damn ... sorry to hear about the rolla... was dying too see it! track pig yeah got next week off gonna take off my turbo timer also thinking bout painting my cooler and piping black... even tho it would kill the bling factor of the car. would still look ok maybe. also gotta replace my bov's( getting soft and chatting way too much). gonna get something thats still plumback but a bit stiffer and fresh (any ideas?). would this be legal? and would after market coil packs be illegal?

pm please mate. m ight bring the r out and burn some bumpers

no worries.. and cheers shy 6 i know the pops are unburnt fuel lols... i can smell it inside when its idling in carport hahah. thanks guys ill take it for a test run tomorrow and see if its building boost as per usual then ive got some time off end of next week.. will work on her then check all the ic hoses

1993 low k 32 gtr= to me its worth around 38,000 id probably only get 25-26 tops for it hilux utility= to me its worth 15,000 id prob get 10-12 for it

after i fitted the mfic it was fine.. still running richer than usual but still went well..for about 2-3 weeks. its only deteriorated really quickly over the last 3 weeks

hey heslo how much was your arc airbox? thats insane!

mine and a couple others

had my car tuned and some goodies added about 7000 kms ago.. was running very well and putting out great power... it was running very rich then, but fuel comsumption wasnt too bad.. in that 7000 kms ive done one outing to mallala and since put on a larger fmic and had to use her for a daily for 5 weeks while my hilux was being attended to. i know my coil packs are on their way out aswell. currant problems: bov's constantly chatting.. struggling to build boost unles i comletely get my foot of the throttle big bangs and sometimes random dangerious pops with a big glow behind especailly low revvs huge fuel comsumption huge lack of power... feels really sluggish on all boost settings feels like its really holding back under boost i recently surviced her and all vitals, oil etc are fine i dont know why it would have gone out of tune so quickly? could it be the new fmic? could it be bov's stuffed? could the coil packs have this much effect? feels like its gone from 300kw to 200kw....

im gonna have to bail on this one..... my car is running way to rich to even be putting down any power and probably just blow fireballs... occupation health and safety right there... wont be able to get the funds for tune before then either

offset to suit gtr? same size all the way round?? ill trade u my turbos intercooler computer.. all other supporting parts and a nitro rc car

im out for today but if anyone is still cruising this evening id be down.. just hook us a pm if any of you are still out and about

sounds good ruby

haha true no skylines.. i did appreciate that part of the article stating that it wasnt all bad... but i wouldnt have expected sau to be stated as one of the better clubs

lol its amazing! underground car racing gangs!! wow is like organised crime! its like red faction! we should all hide in our houses where its safe... sorry but the start of that media was abit rediculous.... way to general and it makes good safe(when used correctly) performance mods sound like demon spawn.. diddnt know on a regular basis up to 200 cars would meet up for organised racing and burnouts... ITS FAST AND FURIOUS LOCAL STYLE! althought there were some bits of truth and some well stated comments its amazing how words can make anyone with a nice car look like a hoon to the general public
