Not enough oil pressure from hydraulic lifter gallery(being low pressure, as opposed to getting feed direct from main oil gallery).

I think the internal vct mod is a bit of a hit and miss some say it works others say it doesn't.

All I can say is that it didn't work for me, and its a head off job to drill and tap for a vct feed line.

Take a risk and find out if it works for you :P

it's not worth the trouble If it may not work external is proven to work

So you ended up wanting to go the 35R? What made you change your mind? Just curious...

Ive currently sold my GTX and just purchased a 35R to throw on there.

currently she only revs to 6500 rpm as anything over that it just stops making power, though still enough to run a 12.1 on 18 inch ling longs.

With the 35R on there I can rev it just that little bit harder and gain that extra 1000 rpm. +fix the vct issue and I am back to where I started in terms of response.

Its win win, fix vct and get similar response to the gtx without vct + have that extra 1000rpm head room to get down the 1/4 quicker.

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
