Phil must be quite the man to handle his package this well. Just sayin'

These are the best shots showing how my 235's sit and guard clearance. Something tells me 275's won't stand a chance rofl....

Sorry TiTAN more answered what I was getting at lol. 275 would be sweet as obviously more rubber is better...I could get a pic of how my 235's sit right now if that would help? coz I'm down to the fabric on the inside of my right hand rear, and very close on the left

They give you the speed graph because it's accurate, whereas RPM may not be as they have to "configure" it with the right values to show RPM correctly. This means working out rolling diameter of the wheels and diff ratio exactly.

275 are way too wide for R33 GT-R rims on a GTS-T yeah?

No Richard, it means you're down to earth and still know how to have fun - even at your OLD AGE

Yeah I'd say it's the BOV then. The GTR BOV I'm running makes a very slight whistling sound if I hold it at the point where it's open but not off throttle yet.

You're a bad man Richard

Unlikely to be the BOV. The BOV would only fail at a certain pressure if it were faulty, not an RPM. Because of this, you would be able to replicate the sound at a certain throttle point for any given RPM (not guaranteed). I'd be thinking check your belts. Does it make the sound at 2000rpm when the car isn't moving in neutral? If so, pop the bonnet and rev the engine by manually opening the throttle body with your hand. Find the point where it makes the sound, and try to work out where it's coming from.

bastard lol nice

I'm already fairly drunked. Surp.

This year I won't go through nearly 700ml of 40% vodka between Penrith and Central station, then slip in and out of consciousness and eventually run away from my mate and lose my phone. lul

lol I need new tyres, not rims. If I bought new rims, I'd need tyres even more

Have a look at the video link...I'm sure that could be blamed on the council. It's not the flood that caused it per se, it's the fact the water was flowing under the surface of a carpark

FARKEN WANT THEM GOD DAMNIT WHY DOES MY CAR HAVE TO f**k UP ON ME!!!!! I'll trade you my pushy for them? $500 cash my way though....

I lost half my lunch all over my desk thanks to that line. Well played.

FYI Australia Post are ghey kunts and have a holiday tomorrow....that coupled with the New Years Day public holiday on Monday means "guaranteed next-day delivery" items posted today will in fact arrive next Tuesday. BALLS

I may have spotted James and his ladyfriend in the red s14 around 2:15 in Tuggers. If it was you, I was the guy on the downhill bike riding past while you were stopped at the lights. I kinda stared at you, looked like you noticed but were kinda creeped out lol

AFM sold, all other parts still available.

BOTH OF YOUS ARE ULEH wait wut

can guarantee it isnt the clutch. Lazy revving combined with feeling low on power doesn't seem logical. If it were clutch slipping, it would either jerk a bit on the revs under power, or give way all together and rev out. It's neither, it's just slow to build revs. My boost drops at higher RPM as I'm not running off a controller of any kind. Straight from cooler piping to actuator.

haha yeah all those things can make sense, but all unlikely...it doesn't feel like it's labouring the engine in low RPM, it just feels like it quite simply doesn't have any power. Not like it has power, but is being held back...although, there is an audible ticking sound come from under the car while idling (clutch in or out doesn't make difference) but that has been apparent quite some time ago and then went away...came back recently though, so it might be related. if the intake cam skipped teeth, that could explain lack of power while still maintaining correct boost. Boost shown on the gauge is simply an increase in manifold pressure...doesn't mean the same volume of that air is making it into the cylinders. Depending on which direction the gear skipped teeth, it could perhaps somehow limit the amount of air entering the cylinder? Open duration would obviously remain the same, but this would be to the same effect of VCT changing power curve. I can almost guarantee that the piping from turbo outlet all the way to throttle body is free of leaks or blockages. This is with the exception of INSIDE the intercooler, as there's no way I can guarantee that hasn't somehow become blocked. This is because I redid all the piping myself with the 10mm nut T-bolt clamps, after degreasing all parts first. Only joins that weren't redone with these bolts are the 2 on either side of the very final silicone piece before the throttle body. Also fuel pump and filter are only a few months old. Pump is a bosch 044 running in-tank. a couple of times it has been noisier than it usually is, but I haven't been down on power specifically at these times. I put it down to cavitation or something to do with getting warm.

Not that I know of. I'm 99% sure ALL the cat came out when I bashed it. I'll check shaft play this evening, haven't had much time to pull stuff apart lately I agree with the blown piping...it should only really limit the turbo due to exhaust restriction...didn't make sense at all at the time lol engine isn't built, it's unopened to my knowledge.
