On another note, ever since I swapped in my standard airbox I'd lost 50-60km per tank of fuel and felt a little down on power. Swapped my pod back in and it's all sweet again. It was tuned with the pod on, but I thought pod vs airbox was supposed to make SFA difference besides sound. Also, Ric is running more power with the standard airbox...you done any mods to the airbox Ric?

Interesting mr birds, I haven't done back to back test between pod and stock air box myself, but was told the same by sfa of difference.

What kind of filter in your stock air box by any chance?

Makes my blood boil those kids should be smacked around severely and the parents as respect starts at home & school

I look at the government schools around my area the kids are all oxygen theives I just know my tax will be paying for there sorry existence when I was at school all sir/mrs stand up when principal came into the room even just basic uniform policy that was enforced is good foundations

Much work to fit the GTR bov? I'm running 16psi and it doesn't always happen, only when the throttle plate slams shut on a fast gear change.

crossover pipe bolts on perfectly but the return pipe is a larger diameter than gtst. the gtr return hose ID is almost the same as the gtst return hose OD. i mcguyver'd it by slipping the gtst hose inside the gtr one and cable ties but would not reccommend cos it makes a horrible honking vibration on partial boost

Cheers Basti, will give it a shot.

P.S. An online charity was set up to support elderly woman and it looks like she'll be getting 100k from it...bit ridiculous but she definitely deserves something after that.

Nah man, bog stock. I remember we took off the snorkel and the lid on the dyno and it made negligible difference. Never had a pod so can't compare.

That sucks though, I'd love a bit more power and better economy lol

This is what happens when parents don't smack their kids. Disgraceful.

lucky you can't really see kids faces (only one shortly) because they would get knocked the f**k out if people saw them

I really want to right now myself

Dad is getting old, crashed his car. I think he had a minor heart attack or something mum told me his chest was hurting last night.

Stubborn prick still went to work instead of doc's

What a way to start the day

no shit. my dad calls me at 7 last night and sez he's gonna be late coming home from work and to tell some dude that he was expecting to visit that he'll take a raincheck. cool cool. so i head out to play some indoor. check my phone after (11pm) and find like 20 billion missed calls from mum. apparently, he had fin work at 4, gone to the docs and was ambo'd to the hospital. they admitted him and held him there for 6hrs then sent him home. first thing he did when he got home was to fill up a glass with scotch. by the time i get home he's passed out drunk on the couch.

for added context, he's had a major heart attack last year.

our dad's should hang out

Anyone know the boost limits of the standard R33 GTS-T bov? Starting to get compressor surge at high boost.

had mine up at 2 bar with no fails (although that could have contributed to the motor failing lol)

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
