+1 pm with price if you want.

And maybe a drum of 3000 for the daily too.

I can get a price for that, I'm possibly going to get one of that too; I reckon it might be a bit over $100.

Cool. Is that from a chain parts store at retail or a trade only supplier?

Their head office is not far from me; so it was at their main warehouse.

I'm sure you'll be able to get them from an oil wholesaler though.

I got the passenger seat fitted today and cleaned the interior quickly, it's got to look its best for the dyno tomorrow. :)

Also a pic of the stock looking engine bay. The cover makes a difference.

I never found the engine cover fitted particularly well once the spacer was in - did you put some risers on the front bolts or just encourage it to bend a little to get some purchase on them?

This weeks Stagea related activity appears to have been borking my turbo. :(

Seems last weekend's cruise was a bit too much. Weird; because I was taking it easy too...

Onward & upward eh? :whistling:

What's the plan then? Hypergear?

If only you had somewhere you could take it to do the turbo work for you... :whistling:

I ditched the spacer. ;)

Probably not; been talking with Craig, and I'll be going with something that he's recommending.

He's driven a lot of different combinations, built by a bunch of turbo builders; so I trust his judgement.

It has a very strange whine emanating from it now; and that's in addition to the standard whine.

Still boosting fine, and doesn't seem to be rubbing; but who know's how long that will last.

Had to happen eventually; I reckon it's been living borrowed time for a while now. I'm currently at 103,000km (plus whatever the mandatory haircut adds) so it's done ok.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be joining the powah war. :/

I really want to keep the response close to the stocker; so it's going to be small.

The cruise the other night just reinforced to me that I don't want a lagmaster; it's really nice with the handling it has, it's devastating point to point on a windy road.

I don't want to lose that; I just want to have the really good midrange of the stocker with maybe a bit of potential down the track for a handful of extra KW's IF I choose to go a bit more boost and aftermarket management.

That's still a way down the track (if at all) and I don't want to regret going too big in the interim.

I have a 170rwhp, 300km/h bike that makes any car look stupid (does 164km/h in first gear), so I don't need the car for my speed fix.

I've heard bad things about that workshop too; have you seen the bloke who runs it? :P

YES! I agree Dale :thumbsup: (but you already knew that, lol).

just a suggestion i had a strange whinning noise that i thought was the turbo lacking oil on startup would last a little while and then go away. it was like a nasty queeling noise and eventually i traced it down to the belts on the front of the motor needed some dry lube, WD40 done jack sh*t but helped me find it as its not easy to get ur hand past the clutch fan to lube it up.

dont know if this helps but anythings worth a shot!!!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
