$202 was an offer to JPS_TRADING LTD on ebay

the obx stuff from racingpartsdepot on ebay.usa

thats the standard price, shipping was $90, lifetime warranty and the quality is exceptional

a TSA worker told me if you get a speeding fine for 10kph or over on your P's you get disqualified immediately. Pretty harsh penalty! There are a lot of un-signed streets, being 50kph, snap @ 60 and your license is gone...

They've come down hard with demerit point rule changes in the last 5 years. And of course the price of everything (fines/rego etc/license fees) has increased enough to start hurting the wallet - just went and paid a speeding fine @ the post office on my lunch break... $220 for 70 in a 60 zone... I was bloody astounded when i saw the price of the fine when i opened that letter. Up by $50 since my last speeding fine, for the exact same offence... f@rk!

sorry to bring this discussion back up, but the section ive highligted there is no excuse

who can tell me the rule they bought in (cos they were too lazy / tight fisted to spend money and to signpost everywhere)

50 UNLESS OTHERWISE SIGNPOSTED

so that excuse really doesnt wash these days

/2c

and yes, ive had one speeding ticket, 76 in a 60 zone, on the easter weekend about 4 years back. a split second of bad habits cost me over 300 bucks

used.

jps trading were selling 3sets, sent an offer on a z32 afm + the cheapest hks dump set.

was surprised it was accepted lol, considering id just spent a $900 on a big 13" wilwood racing brake upgrade

see: brake.doc

Back to my issue. Wayne seems to think maybe the two hoses on my car are hooked up the wrong way on the solenoid and that i should try swapping them. Nothings gonna go bang if i do this? Like if the hoses are the right way and I've swapped em over its not going to reverse the pressure into somewhere and make it pop?

Yeah I might quickly go see Shaun and see what he thinks about it. I don't care that I'm only running 10psi, I'm just more worried about that if the restrictor isn't there, then why isn't it hitting that 1bar. Even with a turbo back exhaust it shoud be a little higher so who knows.

got boost controller? without boost control you're restricted to whatever your wastegate actuator is rated at, which i think is 10psi...

-D

no boost controller. I got a blitz 1 sitting here that I was going to use on my old gtst. Should work on the 26 shouldn't it? Or will I need one for a 26?

as far as i know a boost controller works on all, provided its setup in the right manner - best to ask ur tuner to install it really

I was also thinking this earlier...but didn't want to say it/couldnt be bothered logging in at work.

I have received 2 speeding fines in the last 12 months...both for a car i sold to my parents about 2 years ago. So i get them to fill in the Stat-Dec, and i get of scot-free :D

surely they've re-registered it in that time? :D no excuse that its not in their name heh

Nope, still in my name, so as far as motor reg is concerned...its still my car, but my parents paid me for it.

well its been confirmed! I worry too much and all I needed was a EBC and I'll see 14psi. Wow. Hahaha

hehe yep, or one of those adjustable manual taps

ebc is much safer inspite of their non regency friendliness. good thing is tho, theyre real easy to remove

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
