the gtr is going again. :)

i went and finished the wiring and fuel pump setup on monday night. its a bit neater than how it was oringinally done

started first turn of the key, it now runs alot smoother with the Vipec compared to the power FC.

sorry for hijacking your thread marty :D

drags satday night..... i can wire in my wideband for a quick road tune :P

will definately turn some heads on thursday :)

Yea it will be a pain in the ass but we have tried everything i can think of atleast. dropped the screamer pipe off the gate, plumbed a new vac feed pretty much straight infront of the housing, went to bigger vac line 3/8th size, changed to a completely new waste gate and even went back to the .7 bar spring all with no luck. it would just go up to the spring pressure and then creep one or 2 psi then shoot straight up to 24psi

it has worked on alot of cars and mine in particular. its very strange that is is not working on martys car but im afraid that it is not the gate setup and this new effort is going to be in vain. having said that we have all been putting our heads to it trying to figure out wtf it could be. but when you go as far as changing to not only another gate but a different brand all together aswell as trying a few different boost signal sources and hose size, we kinda dont know where to go from there

Not really an option as there is barely room for the one wastegate. As stated by Adam just before why will it work on other cars and mine so far being the exception to the rule?

Its not like i am pushing huge boost or running a rediculous turbo set up, the whole reason i got this set up was the assurance from the manufacturer and also the mountain of people that have used this set up very effectively.

I am almost at the end of my patience with this thing and unfortunately no one seems to be able to pin point an issue that will cause this to be such an underwhelming product :P

Going by what i have seen around on the site here of other set ups on RB's mine is in a completely different spot.

My only option really is to revise the wastegate set up as getting a new rear housing and getting the manifold modded to suit is not really going to be time consuming.

If that doesn't work then the car will be brought back to standard set up

Your gate is in pretty much the same spot as mine and pedros. It's going to be a boost signal issue dude, being that it controls boost well till a certain rpm them spikes. It's just a matter of finding out the event that is causing this loss of controlled feed to the gate. I realize you have tried a couple of boost signal points but what if it's not at simple as the location. What I'd be doing is strapping it down on the dyno again and putting a boost gauge between your signal point and your gate so you can see realtime what the airflow / pressure to the gate diaphragm is doing. That way you can rule out an issue with your boost source and start looking back at the gate location / turbo it's self.

A little bit of progression. Paul was able to get onto Leigh at ETM and they discussed some further tests. The car will be back on the dyno tomorrow morning and the vac feed is going to be checked to see if it is sealed in the pipe ok and if that is not an issue then the gate will be removed all together to see if it a) runs no boost or b) the same events occur.

Hopefully its a simple issue of the vac feed just not sealing but we will soon see

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
