  1. Oh noes, I must have spun heaps of bearings by now then. I have been using Gulf Western products for 3 years now with hundreds of dyno runs and track work. Considering 10 w 40 is thicker than the factory recommended I am sure it will be perfectly fine. The same can't be said for a w 60 like edge unless you live on a racetrack, and it won't save your bearings.
  2. Not me Leon, but I have always been told I an a little 'different'. Good job on the install Clint, what's next?
  3. Its just what happens, the fuel heats up as it goes through the hot engine bay and returns to the small surge tank only to go through the hot engine bay again. Perhaps insulating the fuel rail or adding a fuel cooler to the return line would help? My Walbro's do the same thing, although it takes a lot longer to heat up all the fuel in my 80L tank. After an hour or more of driving the pumps sound very noisy but they still work fine.
  4. What size tyres do you need? What is you location? I have a 2nd hand pair here...
  5. It is a little, I should have the controller plumbed back in soon to bring it on harder, I talked the tuner into a 30psi map. Hope it doesn't end in tears. lol.
  6. Do you have some pics?
  7. No idea, I just asked the question to Ash. That was the response. Ok, so DONT TAKE MY MONEY. lol.
  8. Christian (Prank) you dropkick.
  9. Apparently donations are closed. And have nothing to do with SAU Vic... Complain to the big man.
  10. The sock filters on my Walbro's are black, there is definitely something very fine slowly building up on them over time. I came to the conclusion last year that there must be a slight sediment in the fuel as my fuel system checks out. I have been on e85 for over 3 years now (daily) so any original crud would have been cleaned out surely. From my searches it seems like a common problem in the US, perhaps carbon from some filtering process? No big deal to change filters every few years though...
  11. Did you have a nistune board installed in the manual ecu? Perhaps you could swap it over if it's not damaged...
  12. Good to hear you got it going, I would be looking at the link/Vipec or perhaps even the Haltech plugin may work.
  13. If we could take off like that GTR we would be mate. Transbrake...
  14. Sunday as they are the timed sessions. I still have to drop the forms in to Narre Warren, better get on to it by tomorrow...
  15. Imagine the rear housing of the turbo at that temperature, the steel becomes pliable, almost like putty. If you don't support the manifold/turbo it will droop, the weight of the exhaust is helping this happen, along with hard cornering causing the weight of the mufflers to deform the housing using the massive leverage involved. Race cars don't have a full exhaust and generally use brackets over the engine to support the turbo in these situations. It definitely doesn't seem like a massive stretch to me either...
  16. This weekend? It takes 5 minutes to fit...
  17. If you still hang the exhaust off the turbo and don't run a flex join, the 3076 will probably warp just like the HKS did. Don't blame the turbo, plenty of people have hit the track with them. Doesn't sound like a conservative tune if the fuel was detonating, thought about e85 at all?
  18. VQ40 + FWD = gaids.
  19. I was going to go down the Zeitronics path but Jez had major issues with them recently. Just waiting to hear the outcome...
  20. Sounds like an acceleration enrichment tune issue...
  21. Want me to bump the idle up a bit? Perhaps its harmonics at that idle speed? I heard something banging underneath the front too when you took off, perhaps the cooler pipe? Could you be feeling that through the wheel somehow?
  22. I still have one here in black... Not sure how to remove it though. It can come with the gauges too.
  23. It does say OEM... Not cheap though.
  24. I can't get mine to blow, and I have tried really hard...
  25. I have 100 Chomps to get through. Costco ftw.
