I remember reading somewhere that there was one of the gates belts which was perhaps a bit noisier than nissan oem?

Also, brahs know what the go is with coilovers and rwc? To my understanding most coilovers are illegal (even raised to legal height) because they don't have 2/3 of the travel required or something along those lines? But in reality, if it's the correct height, are they really adamant on this?

Sort of...

There's are some approved coil overs, they need to be able to travel a certain distance in damper or something, they can't be too stiff. And they can't allow the car to go lower than legal limit..

Pedders do Aus legal adjustable coil overs

i bought a gates belt and racepace told me it would be pretty noisy and advised me to stick with a standard belt with HKS cams - might try out the gates though next time as noise wont really bother me that much i guess, just hate in-car squeaks and rattles!

Yup, must have been the Racing belt, then. When I did my major service, I just went with Nissan OEM though :D.

Re: Coilovers, that's pretty much in-line with my understanding, then. However, my question was (even with the new photos etc for RWC) if it's a big issue, provided it's sitting at legal height...

Have the car booked in for alignment etc at Traction tomorrow, but seems a bit of a waste if I'll have to take them out to get RWC anytime soon... that's all...

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
