  1. I found with mine that double clutching did nothing - I noticed however that clutching, bringing the gearstick back slightly and allowing the revs to drop before putting it into 4th makes it smooth again 99% of the time - does not work for downshifts though so I just go straight to third, I'll try some Redline Shockproof Lightweight until ! can get the money together to try and get another GTR/Stagea box!
  2. hope you guys get another cruise on this friday, ill be there 4 sure!
  3. saw a hot as black r32 gtr spoilerless with bride interior, brembos and a cage at dan murphys on bell st preston before, looked a bit like my gts4 but a lot cleaner! hope the owner dosen't mind that i took a pic!
  4. damn wish i had been on here last night - im in melb n bored as hell! dont really know where the good cruising spots are out here in the northern suburbs - ive had a look down bell st n the hume highway bu not all that exciting!
  5. yeah curious as well, my stagea box is doing the same thing after some spirited driving last night, crunches 4th a lot, really freaked me out, you didnt put some Redline oil or something in it?
  6. ok with a microtech lt10 mine makes 240rwkw @ 18psi, starts hitting boost at ~2500rpm
  7. any data to back this up? I use castrol EDGE 5w30 in mine (i'd go motul if using it on the track or something like that) seems to go well, the factory spec is 7.5w30 anyway.
  8. haha oh god not that again I've noticed on the highway the past few days going to and from work people sitting on 50-80km/h now that's dangerous, especially when you come tearing around a corner (albeit at the speedlimit) and one of these dickheads are plodding right in front of you. I think that instead of just targeting 'hoon' drivers, there should be a crackdown on generally incompetent drivers.
  9. hey not so harsh on the old energy polarisers, many HDT owners swear they improve the car's dynamics considerably! (also cars fitted with em are worth a fortune!) Don't fancy driving around with the tyres inflated to the recommended spec of 22psi though. You'd have to be soft in the head to have ever thought that those pills had any sort of benefit, I would have thought that it would have been obvious it was a scam when nobody saved money from using them.
  10. All comes down to what maintenance you can afford, It's the one and only reason I went single turbo over the GTR (fuel use is about the same ;s) GTR's use top notch oil, the parts are the dearest as well as insurance and you better have a kidney spare to sell if something big like the turbos or engine decides to wreck itself. On the other hand you have the street cred of owning a GTR the rarity factor and great performance/handling standard.
  11. regardless of your opinions on atmospheric or not, given that the motors come out with a BOV of the recirculating type at least, surely it would be doing your turbo no favours to take it off?
  12. Kinks how does my daily ride have any bearing on a thread about blow off valves? begone troll. I hate dosing, just makes me think of wankers in VL Turbos, and the noise gets grating on my ears very quickly. Mine's a Turbosmart Supersonic BOV, I like the sound, and the cops around here have never given a toss about it, and yes ive let it off near them accidentely, but chances are if they are pulling you over to defect you they're going to make something up if they dont find anything anyway. Having the stock crossover pipe helps, if I ever did get defected for it, its easy to swap with the stocker. Can't find a video of anything that sounds like it, needless to say it dosen't sound like one of those godawful Blitz (or was it HKS? high pitched whistle) ones which sound like something from Need For Speed.
  13. was wondering if anyone could post their solution to this? i've tried looking up this and the fact that my VCT is not hooked up, and can't dredge anything up!
  14. atmospheric BOV's sound heaps better, especially when you hit fullboost and release throttle and hear this almighty TSCHHHH come from the car, is much better than having a goddamn muztek style dose lol I don't think atmo bov's have any performance value since it's venting the aircharge into the bay, but i like the sound of mine at least, so yeah, guess its a personal preference for the noises you like to hear out of your car lol.
  15. I've got a Stagea RB25 + box in mine, compared to driving an RB20 its sooo much better!
  16. this thread is like deja vu oh hang on its already been posted like 3 times SEARCH button anyone? and you can all start bitching if you like, but thats what seems to get put in every other repeated thread.
  17. if its a Turbosmart one (like mine) you can twist the end of the BOV in to make the noise 'softer', or out to make it 'harder'. When it's on soft, you won't get that noise unless you're on WOT just about, and the other extreme, well you dont get any dosing at all, its a constant pschhh every time you lift your foot off the throttle.
  18. aussie R31 with a big cam and associated mods?
  19. umm ive got a straight metal or hard plastic pipe heading up thru the engine bay to the pod filter, which is next to the cold air intake.
  20. everyone who flamed the OP is a troll. meh I find cannons full stop ricey whether they be HKS, BLITZ or drift brand even. If i were going to change exhaust tips, it'd be into twin flutes
  21. hmm mine clicks audibly when idling at least, thought it was just the injectors or something?
  22. was that lancia one of those insane group b unlimited mods type cars or something?
  23. lol was going to post the exact same thing except I'm using Tein coilovers, pretty sure its some sorta bushes that are gone isn't it? mine only comes from the front and yes on bumpy corrugated roads (of which there are many here)
  24. I'm running a KKR480 on my Rb25 motor, it's not as bad as people make out (spools quicker than a standard RB20 at least lol), but my VCT is disabled, don't know if that would make it any quicker to spool, but yeah I know another guy who went and bought one after seeing mine. Remember these are the same turbos used on the GenTT twin turbo kits for the LS1 That said, if I were to buy a new turbo I'd go for a HKS one if I could afford it.
  25. wasn't this posted in here not long ago? I'm pretty sure there was and a lengthy discussion as to his culpability or lack thereof. PROTIP: Online petitions never have and never will achieve anything.
