that's about the standard boost mate....is the boost controller turned on? generally it would be set between 12 and 14psi for a standard turbo :teehee:

oh really? I was told by a few people that standard they are meant to be set at about 7psi and 10psi is the 'safe' boost to run daily on stock turbo. Boost controller is turned on, but i haven't tried playing with it yet. Need to download and read the manual :/

Blowoff valve and wiring loom for ignition coils arrived today! Wuhoo! Off to mech on Friday to have it all fitted up, then as soon as my tuner has time, we'll give it the 5th "final tune", and everything will be awesome (probably wishful thinking given the epic issues, but you gotta stay positive, yeah?)...

Sounds like it should all be sorted :) it's good you got back on the horse, it can be really detering when these things happen.

I remember someone asking for a picture of my seat because we were bidding against each other months ago. So here it is.

Wow cool seat!

Update on our stag. We put a new fuel pump in (walbro) then started getting a hesitation on take off and light throttle. Checked voltage at the pump on idle and revs. 9 volts!! Haha didn't really want to run a new power cable etc so at first I was like il try earthing the fuel pump direct to the chassis and see what happens.

So did that and check voltage. 12.2 volts. Sweet! Went for a drive and the hesitation was gone!! Yay

Car went on the dyno again and made 180kws at all four wheels. Goes much harder now, wow haha

good to hear that it was a simple fix, but you need to be a little careful with just putting it straight to the chassis. Does the fuel pump still turn off after a few seconds when you turn the ignition on (but do not start the car?)

In a lot of these systems the ECU uses the earth to turn off the fuel pump when the ignition is on but the car does not start.

If your fuel pump does not turn off (may be hard to hear), you need to add a relay where pin 85 goes to the original ECU earth to the fuel pump (12v can come from any ignition switched source to pin 86). Then connect the old fuel pump earth to pin 30 and pin 87 then to the chassis earth.

What have I done to my Stagea lately??

Nipped in to town to do some shopping!

All this gear in the car and still could of beat any Commondore!!!

That's quite a bit of stuff is that shopping for a couple of months!

Gktech open ended wheel nuts on order, once they arrive I'll start playing with my spacers :-)

Managed to pick up two pairs of their 15-30mm spacers for $150

Should be able to fit my kakimotos over the front brakes now

    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
