  1. Fair enough, Might just have to invest in a computer again one day lol. Thanks for your time anyway. Appreciated.
  2. Yeah I'd be keen to know this myself, What's the point in having 8 different apps for 8 different forums... Kinda removes the purpose of tapatalk in the first place.
  3. Yeah, just found it odd that even in the normal tapatalk app for windows phone I can't seem to find the forum. Tried searching for skylines Australia, sau community and other combinations but it seems to be hidden.
  4. Necro bump. What's the current situation re: Tapatalk? Cant find the forum in the app after multiple searches. Desktop view in ie is almost impossible to type replies but everything else works great. Mobile view is horrible but replies work lol. Using Windows Phone 8.1 Update. Thanks
  5. lovin it, thanks for all your help. I'll rip it out over the weekend. Less crap on top of my engine. Trying to keep it looking as stock as possible to try minimise attention if I ever have to pop the bonnet
  6. Picked up the rb20 actuator and got some boost back finally Doesn't feel like much though and only registers about half way on the stock boost guage. (nismo cluster) Do I need to do anything about the stock boost solenoid? I think that's probably iffy as well as it was only getting 5psi after the conversion on the dyno, unless that was just from the actuator starting to fail
  7. Thanks for the quick replies and good answers, much appreciated. I'll try the hose tomorrow, I think it may of had 2 restrictors in it for some reason. One seemed to be on a bit of an angle so I tried to square it up with a screwdriver but no luck. Will have a better look and see anyway. Still takes a fair bit of effort to pull the actuator manually so you may be right. Found an rb20 actuator for $50 so I may end up replacing it anyway for the extra bit of boost. Pretty sure it was only getting 5 psi after the swap into the 32. edit: just thinking, but if that hose was blocked wouldn't it be more inclined to overboost rather then no boost? Sorry if that sounds dumb but I'm no mechanic and still trying to work things out as I go. Spent far too much money getting this thing running again as is. Need to learn how to do more myself.
  8. Good evening talented folk of SAU Recently converted my 32 to a neo engine, but after taking it to the pits one day it suddenly lost all boost. Still runs fine but can never make it to positive boost. I've tried looking for leaks and replacing vacuum lines etc with no success. Today I decided to YOLO it and disconnect the hose running to the wastegate actuator. Surprise, Surprise she started to boost! Then I quickly took my foot off the loud pedal and went home and connected the hose again. I'm assuming the spring has shat itself as you can see the arm moving when revving the engine in neutral with no load. Does this sound like a correct diagnosis? and what are my options? Can the actuator be repaired or should I hunt down a new one? Kinda regret throwing the RB20 in scrap metal... Despite having a hole in the block I could of at least stolen the actuator off it to try out Thanks. edit: engine / turbo is stock rb25det neo gear, sorry if this is in the wrong section. Long time lurker, rare poster
  9. Cheers mate, appreciated.
  10. Sorry for the slow response, but thanks again. Took about 6 months in getting sent back and forwards but I got it registered again Have now moved to QLD though so time to start all over again lol.
  11. Hey, just wondering what info someone can pull up on my 32. HCR32057504 Thanks
  12. Thanks heaps. I'll give them a call and take it from there Everything's been done right, so it should go smoothly.
  13. Finally decided to revive the old R32 gtst coupe from it's grave (after 6 years!!!) and wanted to do it right. So the rb20det went in the bin and an rb25det neo was put in its place along with an r33 gearbox. Tried to take it over pits but computer pulled me up after running the numbers and I have been told that I need an LA1 modplate before its gunna happen. (actually it says I need a signed LA1 form and a receipt for a modplate on the fail sheet... totally confused the DOT when I asked for a form that doesn't exist lol) Can anyone recommend some places for me to go, or have a rough idea how much it's gunna cost to get engineered? Everything went pretty smooth up until this point, now I'm just completely lost and confused! Cheers!
  14. cheers for such a quick response, i'll give them a ring tommorow and try to organise something with them... yet again thanks heaps, made my job a whole lot easier ;-) all i need now is a new clutch and to find a few exhaust leaks hahaha...
  15. hey chris, read a few of your posts and you seem to know your shit when it comes to the car alarms and was wondering what would be a good budget alarm for an r32 skyline with a turbo timer... i'm only looking to spend say 5 or 600 on it installed, maybe a touch more if its worth it.... i'll take it to that westside if they do good installs as i'm in wa myself. anyways thanks in advance for the help....
