i was going to buy a new gt2831 or something but garrett gave me this turbo for free and i cost me 200 in gaskets and clamps and i am happy. i was doing 14.00sec quatermile before i did half the mods so now i am hoping for at least mid 13s in the end i want 12s then i will take it to a race track and see how it handles. but we dont get paid to work on our cars so the work gets done afterhours.

They were 300 cheaper then the br's though.

I found a guy on here that sells the BC racing BR's for $1165 delivered (http://www.streettotrack.com/). So your Silk Roads are still cheaper (but only by ~$165) and I'm not overly concerned about it being harder to adjust damping.

Can you tell me if they can be set up soft or do they start at "firm" & go harder from there, as per most Japanese coilovers? But with a name like "Silk Roads" they sound so soft & comfortable LOL.

The aftermarket ECU and tuning will be the biggest difference. If you search forced induction you will find a thread by rev210 on how to get 12's on a 33 with as much stock gear as possible. The stagea is a lot heavier.

Nice find Leon, good prices there. Just curious how you'd go with warranty though, could be a sticking point?

I believe he is an official reseller and has such handles warranty the same as the others. He is just keener for the business so does some forum marketing in his spare time. He is quick to respond to email questions, which is great, so maybe confirm with him. The only downside is the delivery time for our cars is about 15 days. From that I'd guess he doesn't keep ours in stock LOL. But I am a patient man so that doesn't bother me. I've been waiting on some spare parts since Christmas......

last time i went to the drags i had 6 runs of times between 14.00 and 14.10 it was pissing me off i just wanted to crack into the 13s i had shit tyres so i was changing tyre pressure to get grip off the line and i only had done intercooler, boost controller and pod filter and was getting 1.9sec 60ft so low 13s is no problems.

I was going to ask if your alarm issues could be related to battery issues :P

I was going to ask you if your handling issues could be related to stilts issues :P

Haven't checked actually, didn't even occur to me. Will look into it. Thanks :thumbsup:

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
