Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

man did the GTR hate being driven in 45 degree weather, all kinds of random noises start apearing lol

Agreed. On the way home yesterday I had some major idle / power loss issues. Spent an hour changing the air flow meters. 1st one I replaced, went for a test drive - same problem happened.

Replaced the second one, problem hasn't shown itself again (yet - touch wood) but I'm eager to see if this afternoon changes the story.

Oh and +1 for joeleo for reconditioning the afm I lent him - I've chucked it back in and its not screwing up like before haha - thanks

not bad at all Damo and if it's a real good one and you could screw him down to $25K......i'd say good deal.

my preference would be all original dead stock V-Spec II and leave it that way.

the 200's back! yay! new clutch is nice, friction points a lot higher on the pedal than the last one, so its gonna take a bit of getting used to. shifts are so tight though, its awesome.

... but i apparently need to replace my turbo studs sometime soon. f**k.

that cars made an appearance on the 'stupidest things youve seen done to a car' thread on the 31 club...

... about 5 times.

Weeeell no not sure at all.... where is the inlet temp sensor? The problem is sporadic (aka in the 20 minute drive, it probably lost power/started to stall 3-4 times but a little bit more accelerator helped it out of the stuttering...)

If I can clean it or check the wires, it'd be a good place to start...

Its right at the front of the Plenum, but i doubt that is the problem.

Inside the plenum or outside? Would love a pic if anyone has one? :blink: I'll see what happens on the way home - if I get some twitching ill pull over and give it a bit of a wiggle, maybe test it with a multimeter when I get home

fuuk you ETSA

last night we where without power from 7 pm till 4:30 am, which = me getting no sleep.

we had to sit outside cos it was so hot inside.

get this, my aquarium heater is set at 27 deg. the thermometer always shows round 26 ish

when the power went off yesterday, i feared that maybe the water would cool and the fish would die,

nope, the exact opposite, it got so hot in here, the water temp went UP to 31 deg at 2:30 this morning.

by the time the place got cool again and i fell asleep it was 5:30 am

and guess what i come home to this afternoon? yup, power cut.

thanks ETSA.

That was so foul, no one bought it for even $4K ;)

What is it with these fools who do up Magnas? :blink: I saw one the other day lowered to all hell, with dark, dark tint and loud exhaust. Don't these fools know they're not a car you bling!?!

I owed 3 Magnas and I never did any of that shit ... waste of money!

Lol try saying that on the Magna Car Club of SA haha!! They're nuts on that forum. They love the Magna's!!

man did the GTR hate being driven in 45 degree weather, all kinds of random noises start apearing lol

Lol I wouldn't even dare to start up my GTR in this heat. It'd suck enough hot air in just idling!

Same, and i deff would't even think about hitting boost, imagine the air temps going into the motor. I dont think the intercooler would do much in this heat. Probably just heat the air more :blink:

It's a bit sus, Kye. What if the guy on the bike ran into the car? What if he had no reflective gear? Etc.

its also the fact that since there is NO sholder on the road heading towards victor/mclaren vale, means the bike rider was riding on the road in the actual lane plus there are no street lights at all so its pitch black.

so if the guy didnt do a runner, he may have been let off abit lighter.

Haha - you know about Terry Kennedy and his diss track to Lupe? "Kick Push Pass".... its all documented in one of the Beef series (number 4 I think) but I think its funny as hell - they interview a bunch of skaters and say 'all lupe did was a little ollie at the end of his video'

-D

haha nah i havent heard that one. everytime i see him on tv i laugh though haha.

wouldnt suprise me if thats all he did in a skate vid. that was pretty much all he could do :(

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.

      That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
