  1. Yep, I'm more confident with them than the springs, I was just waiting for the springs to burn out or something like that. Unfortunately my brackets dont suit the extra height that the terminals create, but.. it all works and is sealed! I will be dynoing it in the next month or so and aim for over 400 without touching the gap or dwell anymore.. in fact kind of plan on lowering the dwell from the 3.7ms that it's at roughly at the moment.
  2. Update: So to touch on this, I ended up having an intermittent coil pack!! And it just so happened to be the coil over cylinder 6, it may have been the heat, or may have just been unlucky as there shouldn't be ENOUGH heat to kill it back there. PAT offers a 2 year warranty so I replaced it today and misfire completely gone through the entire rev range. Currently running an 0.7mm gap with some MSD 34605 terminals which have been lightly crimped at the coilpack end (enough that they'll clip over the coil pack end), and then this is covered by the factory rubber boots found on RB Coil packs. I use a WiringSpecialties coil pack loom which is a custom loom for LQ9 to R33 GTR. This is what the terminal looks like.
  3. Change your fuel filter....
  4. Boronia has some half decent properties for the 450k range
  5. Which is 90% of Skyline owners, who think otherwise because the internet told them so.
  6. Are you seriously saying that the members here having a quick squirt in 2nd and 3rd to 100kmh on the highway is comparable to 1000+hp GTRs doing 250kmh squirelling all over the road with solid stop objects being trucks, on either side of the road? The 32 was completely out of control but the young owner thinks he's Drift King Tsuchiya and it's no problem for the mighty 32.
  7. Fark birds you got ripped real quick
  8. It'd cost you like $50 bucks to have the manifold and the spacer plate decked to be sure they were straight, cheap insurance.
  9. Your manifold is probably warped
  10. Yep as Peter said, you can choose to keep a log book for your peace of mind that's totally fine. I'm just saying NRMA are relying on their customers to be honest, otherwise they would be writing down all this stuff, or keeping their own log books on every one of their customers.
  11. How is any of it enforceable??? You're not required to have a log book, they do not record your odometer, they do not ask you to inform them of every trip. It is an HONESTY system. If everyone keeps to the rules your premiums SHOULD stay the same, break the rules and drive more, and more accidents will happen = everyones premiums will rise. There's not really anything more to the 10 times / 9000km rule.
  12. I'm not interested in arguing with you nor am I getting frustrated. I feel like we're saying pretty much the exact same thing only I'm saying 34 are not as good as 33, but it is negligible. I haven't posted test results because nobody listens on this forum regardless (thus why it took Piggaz and others pushing hard to convince people stock cams are the best for years before anyone agreed), I have done 20+ turbo swaps in the last year or so and the owners either choose to keep their stock dumps, or go HPI. I've seen stock 34 dumps go up to 370rwkw on E85 so they're not really a restriction in the grand scheme of things. 32 dumps yes while restrictive, will be fine for his power goal, which is what I was originally replying to, in that he doesn't NEED HPI dumps.
  13. Where is this a fact exactly? I changed my statement as I remembered the wrong dump. Everything that we've done on the dyno points to 32 being the most restrictive, while 33 being the best for flow, and 34 trailing ever so slightly behind it, but only marginal. How much testing have you done?
  14. Did you even read what I wrote? I said 33 is bigger than 32, thus that suggests that I'm meaning that the 32 is the restrictive one (notice I played on that in the first sentence?). 34 is definitely smaller than 33 dumps, "but not enough to matter". So you essentially said I'm incorrect while agreeing with what I said.
  15. And make 320kw with standard dumps, or make 320kw with HPI dumps?
  16. Actually brain fart, I thought about it for 2 seconds and went YEAH THATS RIGHT. 33 bigger than 32.. but I'm still sure 34's are more restrictive than 33, but not enough to matter.
  17. You would be mistaken, as the 34 dumps are the smallest of the three dumps. I wouldn't be buying bigger dumps for a 300kw goal, I wouldn't port the manifolds either.
  18. Stock 32/33 dumps will flow to just under 400awkw on 98 pretty easily, beyond that you're gonna need bigger dumps.
  19. Yep exactly what I was thinking cheers, just yet to see the connectors in person and make a fair judgement. I'm using the LS2 coil packs, although they are the BS1251 part number, which one person in this thread has said they're the inferior made genuine ones. I upped the dwell by about 10% and that has made about 90% of the misfire go away for now, with maybe one hiccup as it hits boost. More investigation required!
  20. You reckon? I'm not old by any standards, but as Terry said a clean original VSpec2 is going for 44k max ceiling, and mines HEAVILY modified now. Definitely try again, they said they've had a lot more skylines sign up recently. Probably due to this thread.
  21. So alternator is rock solid. Added an extra 10% dwell through the rev range, has helped a lot, one tiny hiccup coming onto boost and then no problem after that. I do believe the factory springs and boots are the issue though. What else has everyone done to mount the LS2 coil packs directly onto the spark plug? I saw someone tried these terminals but not sure how they crimp onto the end of the coil pack.
  22. Here's another question for you all. In the PDF it states: So, if they've acknowledged that it has illegal mods (upgraded brakes, loud exhaust), and have written that down and still agreed to cover you, then you should be covered for if you have an at fault accident. Then further down it states: So what I've taken from that is, if you have bigger Alcon/AP brakes, and they agree to cover you on that basis. They WILL cover you if you ram up the back of a Mercedes, but will replace the brakes with whatever the car came with factory (assuming the car is repairable). The lady on the phone also said you are covered if you have upgraded brakes that are not engineered, as long as they can be deemed working.
  23. You wild
  24. Yeah but you're all about appearancez hamich
  25. Yep you're right, I was asked that on the phone as well.
