they are 17x 8 +17 fronts and 17x 9.5 +24 rear :dry:

Are they Brentons old meshies? Specs sound similar. Look like they sit pretty mint, full body shots needed (in daylight) though :kiss:

i just went down the street to get drinks for tomorrow, and had a guy come up and introduce himself to me.

it was none other then Mr Senwill himself, he liked my car!(and i liked his, brand new twin turbo range rover, he also has a brand new single turbo petrol one.. :P )

had a chat with him about a bit of stuff, then he gave me a Drift Central 3 dvd! put a smile on my face to meet someone like that in a little town like this, AND he was the nicest dude you will ever meet!

stoked!

Well a massive thanks to Ryan, Aussie Dyno and Turbosmart for seeing my car pull 198.1 rwkw today :( apparently im a bashed cat away from 220. ill post up my dyno sheet once i get my camera working. Highly recommend Aussie Dyno, made very very sure i was running 100% safe while still squeezing power out of it!

oh yeah, the hoodies wont be at vili's tonight, due top lack of interest combined with my family down from interstate. next pick up will be my cruise on monday

hey guys, after an opinion!

under boost, my 25 is making a high pitched squeel - from area around the turbo; i'm thinking it may be exhaust/manifold leakage.

I havent really investigated by removing bits and pieces under the bonnet yet, - i might take the heat shield off the std turbo tomorrow and have a geeze for any signs of soot and black crap.

Anyone had this issue before?

yes mate i had this exact same problem about a month ago, gasket between turbo and manifold mate...

ahh, so it very well may be the culprit! I asked my usual mechanic, and he guessed that a gasket would probably be the cause.

so basically, you got to remove exhaust front pipe and dump, remove turbo, replace gasket + new studs yeah?

doesnt sound like much, but it'd be a pretty legnthy job hey Ryan?

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
