I'v only got boost set on 12 pounds, cooler, Apexi RSM and turbo back 3inch (gutted cat) and it pulls in third very quick and there is constant power all the way to 253kmh in fifth. i used to have flat spots even a splurt but got it all worked out on dyno and the less restrictive ur exausht the more flow. 1st and 2nd are a waste, tyres lighte up all the way and seriouse speed comes in third onwards. trust me, dyno is worth it.

Wish you were closer so we could have some roll ons to compare and see if the 1.5 pounds more does much, i have a very restricted 3 1/4inch system keeps the police off my back! Is 253kph red line or just wont pull anymore?

late second gear (over 4500rpm) all the way until say 1/2way through 4th is where i kill every car but i very rarely get to go into 4th (Its just to fast to be safe).

most cars pull away in first gear (even with a good launch) coz they are either V8's or 4wd Turbos or pocket rockets but once your 1/2 way through second you catch them very quickly, usually u catch them before the redline in 2nd, then 3rd you just pull away :D

i have never tried this with my new EBC, it will be interesting to see what its like :D

I have too much in third and start to wheelspin on coarse road surface at 100kmh. Wheelspin in the wet also at 180 in 4th too if I floor it. Modified stock turbo from Rigoli but mostly stock with 0.5mm OS pistons. Dump pipe and IC are stock for now but 3" zorst and hi flow cat. Power comes on like a sledgehammer at 4000 so maybe thats why it does what it does and only at 11psi. Bit laggy though under 4000 and have trouble staying with stockers through the roundabouts out here. The straight bits inbetween make up for it and the handling but slow out of tight corners.

I use an EBC @ 0.62bar (full boost @ 2900) and i found if i hit it hard in third, it gets a bit overwhelmed with fuel (or something?), so if i just ease it in (over 1sec) it responds alot better and seems to 'avoid' the flat spot.

weird stuff.....

which controller do U have and what do they retail? I could use some of that!!!!

That seems consistant with 'lines that you have to feed the power as they go soft at pull pedal when running the std computer. Anyone else experience this?

    • Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers
    • Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8
    • Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz
    • Would be interesting what the price would be without the barracuda wheels. Looks like he dropped it down to 40k. Maybe his mate wasn't correct about the 50k evaluation. Has always been a dream of mine to own an auto 33. Looks like I'll have to keep saving my pocket money or ask mum for more pocket money.
    • Thinking about importing a stagea as a family car since i’m getting married this year, thoughts? Me and my fiance both like stageas, but don’t have any experience with them
