And a heap of Golfs.

Yeah, but we already knew about them. The 370 I hadn't seen before.

orly? They pull you up or something?

Not me. They pulled up next to me at the lights at Rode Rd and Appleby Rd. Chatting away "hey, how's it going? Have a good night? Where you headed?" etc... and I was thinking "this guy is a bit... chatty... I hope it's not a cop because I have to go up that hill and my BOV is going to go off it's brain..." so the lights go green and the hero in the Hyundai coupe hits limiter, lays a massive skid and goes tearing up the road at about 90k through a 60 zone. Blue and red lights appear on the Z and I'm like :(

I took off slowly and limped up the hill so I didn't set off my BOV, when I got to the bottom he had the Hyundai pulled over and was getting out of his car with his little book of prizes. So I honked and waved goodbye and he waved back :(

...but yeah. Black 370Z hard top. Didn't see the plate because he was next to me, and then I couldn't see shit because of the flashing lights. Must be a Boondall or Strathpine one, so just be careful around Zeds.

So, finally figured out what is wrong with Jason's boost control set up.

What's wrong with this picture?

Hint: Symptoms include infinity boost, and (I presume) BOV not working

I can't believe I didn't spot it when I looked last week, my excuse is I was drunk on JB :(

I'll let you all guess for yourselves which 'mechanic' is responsible for this quality work.

So am I right thinking it should go Boost Control > Wastegate > BOV? but it currently goes Wastegate > Boost Control > Bov?

But either way the BOV shouldn't be connected to the boost controller. Ur diagram is showing the BOV as the boost source right? Which means it wouldnt be getting any data saying open the wastegate. So wastegate stays shut and you get 11ty billion boost right?

Hey ladies.

REgarding your l337 MS Paint 5k1llz Y0, you forgot to show the connection between the BOV, horn and the indicator fluid level sensor.

So you're all ghey......ah I mean wrong. Worng as in a bit fact guy with a bear touching himself whilst watching a Maria Carey video in nothing but a pizza stained singlet.

    • Brand new r34 gtt box 
    • What is the go to gearbox these days for a RWD RB? Back in the day VG TT boxes were cheap and strong. Seems they are as expensive as an RB25 box these days. What are the options without remortgaging the house? 
    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
    • Okay, with all that being said about sloppy blowing from twins, I happily acknowledge the superiority of a single turbo setup on the RB; however, I still plan on double trouble.  I know the -9s were quite popular for some time because they seemed to meet that sweet spot between the -7s and 5s, would introducing VCAM and/or stroking to 2.8L provide the additional displacement/flow to push twins closer to the 500-600 goal?  Does it make more sense for a daily to just do an engine overhaul, slap some -7s on it and enjoy a bit more reliable power?  Has anyone driven a mine's overhauled and tuned engine?  I know they certainly don't approach the power numbers that you drag monsters do down under, but for daily street usage, I just want it to be fun and healthy.
