  1. I remmeber posting up months ago about one of my suppliers getting a whole batch that filled engines with water..... buyers beware.
  2. replace the base seals.
  3. MD SPARES in VIC are the best import engine gasket co in AUS, i use all their gear on rebuilds as many of the gaskets are actually genuine. They also have many parts like lifters, pumps, oil rotor sets etc...
  4. how old is the ultimate? if you open it up and have a look at the bottom right hand corner near the white connectors there is a letter in brackets, some late boards boards with (D) or ALL (E) boards are knock enabled the others (real early models) are not. I have noticed a bug in the selction menu on some software models though too, make sure the jumpers are set up for knock and then try switching the software between intake/ water temp and water temp/ knock etc and see if the knock starts working. "HAINES" sorry i have not been back in contact for awhile but i would like to have a nother look at yours. is it a wire in jobbie or a plug in loom? maybe the water temp and knock is around the wrong way as usually the knock will trace along the zero line not go up to 100 like yours does... honestley got me a bit stumped.
  5. nah its my missus's, fill in till i get the other avatar working again
  6. the preset knock setting is perfect for nissans
  7. Its a pity they are just so damn gaudy and cheap looking.
  8. yes, but the bar will look shite (same as a genuine GTR bar looks shite on R32 GTST) as it will bows in for the narrower front guards.
  9. zero chance on new but CREATD had a few NEO engines at one stage.
  10. Been working With TRUST JAPAN on a plug and play EMANAGE ULTIMATE kit For R33, so hopefully soon we will be able to supply a plug in. no hassle emanage ultimate solution/ equivalent to the PFC for those who are wire-in challenged.
  11. leave the jumper settings as they come from the factoryfor that model
  12. he is quite the video wizard. ask him if we can have a copy of cats footage, i saw the gtr chase her for a lap.
  13. Nah only little beads in sharp corners, near the half moons for example.
  14. Not exactly but the uses definately overlap.
  15. ok The only sealants i use are RTV: ULTRA BLACK, ULTRA GREY or THREEBOND ULTRA GREY for any sumps, water housings etc (same as OEM use) as it is hard to notice, looks OEM and NEVER LEAKS ULTRA BLACK use it for some rocker covers as it is hard to notice, looks OEM and NEVER LEAKS. THREEBOND make the shit for nissan the orange stuff. Killer gear just looks shit on a engine build worth 10k HYLOMAR SPRAY Perfect for HKS/GREDDY TOMEI metal intake gaskets etc and if your a fanatic it can be used on metal head Gaskets also i prefer to use the permatex RTV gear. I take alot of pride in the engines i build so i like them to look good (stupid i know but they offer diff colours and it suites me, nothing worse than bolting together a killer setup only to have orange or red goop hanging out every join or gap....) and best of all they never leak or weep. this gear has NEVER let me down. http://www.permatex.com/products/automotiv...sket_makers.htm
  16. hey i got a few sponsors who want to get on the SAU love train but no-one gets back to me... WHo should i speak to, banner ads, for sale sub forums etc... serious spenders wanting exposure some-one hook me up. office 03 88781146 mobile 0407059280 email [email protected]
  17. ^^ any mecahnic will have a leak down tester, same basic tool has been used for nearly 90 years
  18. the greddy coolers have a special anti corrision treatment on their V-SPL and R-SPL coolers that is as functional as it is pretty (polishes up nice and still radiates heat very well)
  19. Buy a decent HKS external exhaust housing... forget the garret junk housings and definatley forget the backyard approach to wastegate mounting... should have seen the trust engineers faces when they saw that on one of the so called "leading' worshops cars.... they were horrified beyond belief.... not quite as horrified as when they had a look at microtech computers and how coarse the adjusments were and how slow the processor was... another time and place for that though
  20. the second nipple is usually used to control boost, similar to a wastegate but on the pressure side, i have used it to good effect on smaller cube engines... i doubt it could pass enough air effectively on a 4litre.
  21. The PowerFC boost controller is crap, been using them for years on customers cars who refuse to listen to reason. It lacks many features and is very coarse.... a blitz dual solenoid EBC will shit all over it everytime.
  22. get it checked locally (leak down etc) by a reputable workshop like creatd or race pace then approach your engine builder. are you 100% sure its not your turbo?
  23. been using the ORC carbon twin now for a few months and it is the best clutch i have used fullstop, as far as warming up and so forth.... dont believe the hype. If your going to do a 1/4 mile run straight off the trailer then it may be an issue (same with any clutch) but our car with well over 300rwkw is easy enough to drive up on a car trailer from dead cold and ready to drift by the time you drive from the pits to the form up area. We even did a full power run (warmed engine but did not use clutch) on the dyno to test the myth and there was no slippage noticeable.
