I thought the 'best" way would be to have a turbo outlet force feed into a roots/screw type charger inlet, then the charger outlet into the intercooler. At least in my crazy fantasy world

Thanks GTSboy for that gem of a post. Layman's way for me to understand it is (this came to me while stuck in a mall) The same weight is pressing the tyre into the road, be it 195, 265, or 335 in width. This is why the contact patch is the 'same' (but different shape) Unless your 335 rims weigh a metric ton vs the 195's there won't be any more force pushing them into the road. This is from my understanding why low tyre pressure and higher sidewalls work. Weight transfer pushes the back of the car down, and if there's more 'give' in the rear you get more force pushing the tyre against the road. Should be a sticky post from GTSBoy for sure lol

As someone who has pretty terrible rear grip, can you expand on the last part of that post? Surely a 235 won't hold on as well as a 335 on the back with the same tyre? Or is this related to total handling as opposed to just rear grip under power? My brain can never quite grasp this concept after googling it.

So, general consensus is id2000's are 'safe' for e85 now also?

Nah... Went there before they expanded (couple years back) when it was Misty and 2 other workers in the entire place. Every meal got worse every subsequent visit. Thousands of better places to utilize an appetite in Melbourne.. (Or just go round the corner to soda rock for a burger)

Sweet jesus f**k Misty's went down the shitter years ago. Go anywhere else lol

I destroyed a MV auto box in about 10,000kms. However this was a n/a box that was built up, not the turbo version. They said this is the same but it is not. (For the r34). I have an aftermarket transmission ecu and a haltech ps2000 for the engine. Dunno anyone in Sydney - I sent my entire transmission on a pallet to SA for it to go bang when it came back . MV can send the items to you or a mechanic though. The actual assembly of the auto transmission is 'easy' - any transmission shop can assemble it and the MV guys are easy to talk to.

+1.. For what its worth the gt sedan doesn't have a stock rear anti-roll bar (at all) yet the chassis had the mount points foe the items mentioned above so I would say it'll fit just fine

Drive off boost until you get a tunable ecu (of any kind) Pretty much rule 1 of any mod regarding the engine

I could never find if the EPA applied or not, you see a lot of hot rodded cars on club reg that you know won't meet emissions, seemed like a grey area when I searched. This specific example was done as a 'hey it'll be fine he'll like it" which somehow did occur. Same guy has also been pulled over for blasting up an onramp at WOT and given a thourough look over, bonnet open etc and ended up with a 'take it a bit easier mate' as the reprimand. So who knows, maybe the hwp cbf with club rego'ed cars or I've witnessed the most unlikely of all events known to mankind. Personally, I wouldn't believe me.

I'm sure the model of car is hugely important, but had a friend let loose a 7k rpm atmo bov clutch rev/drop directly infront of a HWP car in his club rego-ed car.... And got a thumbs up. Car also had 1 muffler only and no cat, you can hear it from three blocks away, I Practically had a mental break in the passenger seat

I like the look I'd love to see what an AMS modded GTR would do around the ring to see how much the ridiculous power affects the laptime. You could then discuss how much bang for buck the modifications really add.

Why would you not use a device that's specifically designed to do one task, and named after the 1 thing that it does. All hail the mighty Rice Cooker

Still remember the first time I had a long island iced tea, as someone who enjoys tea of all shapes and sizes of tea, was in the states in Louisiana. Smashed it in 15 seconds, didn't taste any alcohol, got an alarmed look from the waitress, ordered another, was delicious!... felt it 15 min later.

+1 for the above - He really will. Is that new thing suitable for, I dunno, some guy wanting to run a low mount smallish turbo at 28psi on a RB28 auto sedan?

I also had a fun fuel issue with my tank, driving along did 30km after filling up and tank suprisingly empty... Then a couple minutes later (directly on the way to servo) I see it actually move from E with the light on.. to full in about 1/2 a second right as I drive into the servo. Drive out, a minute later, on E again. Give it the "are you serious" stare and it moves between E and F about 5 times in 5 seconds, just waving at me. Hasn't happened since (months ago..) Stupid troll car

Do it a few hundred times and learn to hate it! I have a bag full of fuel pumps in my boot due to the ridiculous amount of times I've had to drop/replace the tank (on my 3rd tank now?) and fuel pump wiring, and fuel pump replacing, and oh jesus nightmares.

I could see it as control, but if I had say 30 psi on either side of the spring it'd be all well and good.. until back pressure pushes the flap opens and it pulls on the 7psi spring, I could never really find out what would happen then.. I assumed with 30psi on both sides the backpressure would act as though there's a 7psi spring in it. My laymans thoughts were, if the flap pushed by backpressure can open a 20psi spring with the boost line disconnected (i.e... free boosting with no vac line connected at all I make 17-18psi) I figured this would still occur with a dual port. Unless I only connected one port, and had 0 psi opening the flap, 30 psi holding it shut, AND spring pressure vs backpressure, but that just didn't seem like a great way to control boost vs just buying a single port actuator head with a 30 psi spring in it.

Actually due to googling IWG's to try and sort my own boost drop issue I ran into quite a few dual port IWG's that do this, but ended up not getting one as I didn't see how it'd help with my (assumed) backpressure problem as the spring inside them all was quite weak. Would be good for boost control in general though, but I'd imagine most people either don't have backpressure problems or gravitate to just using the tried and true method of EWG's

The turbo (the actual compressor housing?) or the turbo wastegate actuator? You've said it's gone to the actuator as well as it going to the turbo..

Why are there no turbo pushbikes? Cmon, it's only logical, what could go wrong?

I'm going with +1 on the "buy a shitter thats reliable and gets you around (camry time!)" If your parents have preferences cause they want to use it, ask them to buy you aforementioned shitter, or "reliable normal car for normal driving" You will appreciate keeping aforementioned "reliable normal car for normal driving" when you get your turbo or GTR and mod it, because you will run into many circumstances where a 2nd car is massively appreciated when the GTT/GTR IS off the road, because it WILL be off the road for longer than you expect/want/plan for

Pretty sure I saw this or something very similar near Osaka imports.. there's a limo repair shop near there. Pretty sure I did a Patrick Stewart quadruple take of wut

+1 for expensive gearbox rebuild...twice +1 for no pod needed at that power level.. or changing the snorkel

Yep... pretty much. People trying to what, be tough thugs to a 'random' motorist? In what circumstance is that OK? I'm all for random crazy normal people taking down thugs.
