  1. lol thanks for making mine look tidy matt
  2. yeah mate it is on it's way to you. 345MB and 3000pages. not surprised no-one wants to turn the little funny pictures into real words. most of it seems to be repeated info for different engines and models so we could probably just get the bits we need done.
  3. profec B has power to the solenoid all the time, and pulses the earth to control the solenoid. so....if the wire from the controller is damaged and is earthed, it will not short out, it will just run max boost all the time. check for continutiy between chasis earth and the earth wire to the solenoid.
  4. exactly right...I've done it for a couple of them now. only thing you may need is the gasket behind the front cover. yes you just undo about 10 bolts on off she comes.
  5. not only are they wrong....but I've told them and they never bothered updating it
  6. Duncan

    R35 Gtr Spec V ?

    you can't get full road rego on an r35 except through nissan (now)
  7. lol it always had at least one type of steer. under, or over. sometimes both at once.
  8. hoorah for a. here's how to do it. Invalid Video Link
  9. vote a for circle skids!
  10. hmm not sure about that. the owner of this car had an rs260 which burned to the ground, but that was at home and caused by a battery problem. they then bought an rs4 and this 260rs. afaik this one has not had any issues
  11. hahah i see....can't exactly be surprised if something isn't right at the hight have you calculated the roll centre and roll couple?
  12. good work mate.....most fun you can have with your clothes on
  13. exactly what I managed to do in a race. clutch was welded to the flywheel. removed, machined, reinstalled and it is fine now. no reason to replace a clutch if this happens....just avoid getting it so hot, and make sure the clutch is bedded to the flywheel properly (ie both flat, mine took a few ks after machining it to come up OK)
  14. and I'll unlock it for a moment (sorry Nick!) to mention that Louie no longer runs xclusive colours....it is a very different business now
  15. nowhere near the top of 5th on a rural airport unless it was made to land A380s. they are crappy, rocky, diesel covered places where you will get wheelspin up to 4th or higher in any high powered car
  16. I think DBA had a bad batch or something a few years back, I have slotted dbas on the race car and have had no cracking issues
  17. A creaking noise would generally be a stuffed bush - there is one at the end of each suspension arm. much as I hate suggesting it, pedders could help identify the stuffed bush (then get it fixed elsewhere )
  18. I've known that car for years, it is definately a 260rs and has had a serious amount of money spent on it with quality parts. good buy.
  19. yeah since AASA own winton there are likely to be lots of their events there. Keep an eye on their calendar.
  20. yeah it was high enough to kill the boost controller, radio, and powerfc. and yes i'd be happy to replace a fuse or voltage regulator rather than a whole head unit. I will open up one of them and confirm what died. but the point stands....anything electronic should have fuse protection....the boost controller head unit is just a big electric power switch for the solenoid
  21. many of the brands have thin walled impact sockets, normally for fitting in tight wheels. I got the size i needed at a local auto one but most places with a decent range should carry something. Tools online, including kincrome....this place is cheap, fast and has great specials from time to time: www.transquip.com.au
  22. boost controllers are boost controllers....unless you are trying to bleed off heaps of boost the basic ones are fine. but....having recently killed 3 profec Bs I will never go near them again. profec B has no fuses on unit's power supply or the solenoid power supply, and my car had a voltage issue (too high). I bet greddy saved 3c per unit cutting that corner the turbosmart has internal fuses that would have prevented the whole control unit dying, so that is what I have swapped to for my stagea and race car. same results as far as boost controll goes, but more reliable.
  23. well....DBA put those paint stripes on the discs too, and all I've ever learned is my brakes get hotter than 800o
  24. lol stuffed if I can tell them apart now! seems to me like cockrane is desperately trying anything to save his crappy concept. hope the whole series continues to decline, and the money going into australian motorsport stops getting clogged up in one crappy street racing series with only 32 cars.
