also cant wait for mine.....even though i dont have a car to put them on, they will make a nice wall decoration for the mean time lol

yeah I cant wait till I get my car back. been 4 weeks so far but fingers crossed tomorrow will be the day

had a look at the turbos that came off the gtr (mattyr31 saw them too) and one was rooted...

to quote matty "Hey you can see daylight thru the housing!"

turns out the rear turbine's water feed had become blocked and had most likely overheated and warped the housing, which led to the bearing getting munted and blowing oil into the compressor section - certainly would explain the det and lack of power in either case...

water and oil lines have been thoroughly refurbished now tho, so when it goes to boostworx on monday for a tune i should be pushing some healthy numbers

that aside, its time for a crap joke

Two atoms go into a bar on a Friday night. They are both in a good mood and proceed to drink themselves under the table.

They are now really drunk.

One atom turns to the other in horror and says "Oh Shit, I lost an electron!!"

"My God, are you sure?!" asked the other atom in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm positive......"

-D

Sorry mate they only bolt onto 34gtr :) 33 is different bolt hole size :( but yes the 6-pot brembo's arrived today. Here I was thinking they were just alittle bigger then the 34R brembo's, but holy shit, they are huge. Bigger then f50. Would basically take up a whole half of a rotor easy.

Pics will be up tomorrow :)

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
