well thats how i bought the car and as soon as i got the money there will be a new motors and turbos in the ebgine bay

anyways thx pual i really apprecate the time u put in to this, after i get my car back (4week bein painted again coz wasnt done rite the first time) i will try taking the pods off, and if ur rite i will get u a slab!

thx buddy

im guessing the olive has been removed from it to get 14.5 psi, i have done this aswell on my 33 gtr and noticed the same thing,its pretty sucky to notice theres shit all boost when someone pulls up next to you.I have noticed it will cut the boost under load only, once boost is down you have to turn the car off then on to get boost again.try putting it in 3rd gear and load the car from low revs(it should cut out the boost). its taken a bit of time for me to work it out but im pretty sure you have the exact same problem.

Blame magazines they advertise the fact to pull the olive out:)

SOLUTION: just put the olive back in an get a boost controller. now how about that slab ? :blink:

As i metioned on the previous page that i have the same problem. Im running pods & exhaust. I pulled the olive out and it did run 1 bar for a few months then i noticed it was only making half a bar, so i put the olive back in and it seemed to run alot better. Im not sure what the go is but please help keen to find out what the problem is?? Thanks

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
