yeah boi

thanks :) just let me know whenever is good for you. I need to take it from Stafford to Aspley. I have ratchet straps if needed

annnnnnnd - opinions on this? Would it be a good enough temporary solution/trouble shooter to make sure I'm holding boost ok? I really don't want to pay much for one because I just want it for a couple of comparisons. So basically... I don't need it to live very long, just need it to be somewhat accurate.

I has a mechanical boost guage in the ute if you want to borrow it for a bit. I need it back to put on the mower at some stage but :)

This afternoon works fine for me. What time are you thinking?

Would take you up on the offer if I knew how long I was going to be tooling around with it, don't want to wind up taking it out of the ute then not using it for 5 months and giving it back and needing it 2 months later lol. I want to get one so I can install it and test my boost for now. But down the track when I get my front mount I want to get the boost wound up a bit too, and just want it in there to check it holds boost alright after driving it around a bit. Also want to see what happens after I let Dan turn my blow off valve into a flutter valve, and (before Dan plays with it) compare it with my other blow off valve(Thanks again Ravi!!) to see if one builds boost faster... it seems to.

I should be home sometime around 4-4:30 ish. Assuming my housemate hasn't crimmed the XF, any time after that.

Furry Muff.

In that case, I'm sure that one you posted will be fine. It looks to be similar to the saber/autogauge ones, so Tas will give you sh*t because they aren't defi, but Tas is a brand wh*re. They should be reasonably accurate and will do the job.

As I said when you were here, just blank the f**ker off. If it f**ks your turbo, then you've got an excuse to upgrade :)

I've got a custom blanking plate made from quality billet steel with a high-temp ceramic coating you can use for a bit if you want. See the pics. Had it on mine for a while but got over it hahaha.

Well, just gimme a call or whatever and let me know the plan of attack :cool:

I don't like the Defi ones anyway. I think they're ricer and are made with 7% synthetics and 93% gay. So he can give me shit about NOT putting rice on my car, I don't mind :)

As I said when you were here, just blank the f**ker off. If it f**ks your turbo, then you've got an excuse to upgrade :wave:

And as I said. That's all well and good if you can afford to buy a new turbo when it shits itself :ninja: (plus I haven't the faintest idea how to change the thing, so I'd have to pay for that too)

Yeah true, I can't say I have money to do it either. But putting a direct replacement on looks pretty easy, I've seen all the tutorials and a friend has explained it for me and yeah, pretty easy.

But flutters = epic. Nuff said.

Having said that, best option is to not f**k the original one anyway hahahahaha you're right.

It won't wreck your turbo.

Changing turbos is easy

    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
