I thought the stock VCT was just a solenoid on the left which interacts with the head, didn't think it did anything with the cam gear. I also thought it was on the exhaust cam only, but could be completely wrong.

Reason I ask is there are full adjustable (change based on rpm) cam gears that look similar to what is on his intake cam, they are around $3000 though from what I've seen, fairly complex piece of hardware.

You are now never allowed to give advice on this forum again...

lol because I didnt know what the vct on the cam gear looked like?

Yes. Given that these engines outnumber all other rb's by a wide margin you should wear sack cloth and ashes for at least a month.

You get the braided clutch line from me on Friday?

Yeh got it, but the engine was already in, so ill put off installing it until everything is ready to go.

Exhaust is finished, work of art! I bought 2 cats, one 5inch 400cpi Euro 4 and one 5inch 100cpi.

Still the same clutch but bought an alloy flywheel from the states.

Should have the car home very soon, just some minor things to tidy up.

ive always been a fan of the lobster back bends as i appreciate the workmanship involved - nothing beats it!

is there a performance gain from this though as 1 would think that a mendrel bend would flow better as it is a smooth curved edge & there is no weld edge on the inside of the pipe - i guess the difference is within a bees d1ck anyway lol

past the cat it makes no difference, especially at 4 inches!

    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
