Gravity eh? :glare: lol well i think i better tackle that is issue number one!

Nah wasnt a typo, i was reading up on it (well trying too) and i thought Err 001 was open circuit and Err 100 was Stepper Motor Memory or something like that, it says to do a reset or something but as i know fck all about it i have been hesitant to do so, i switched it off so its on gate pressure and yesterday it still come up Err 100 after a squirt....

I am retarded when it comes to this sort of thing :ph34r:

check all the wiring as it sounds like its losing connection somewhere... maybe a bad earth.

in all honesty i would ditch the freaking thing before it costs you a motor. I hate HKS EVC, i had 2 in the past... one never worked right and i binned it. the other worked fine for ages, i sold it in working condition, sold it to someone on ebay who asked i install it, installed it and got it working well, then it fking died 3 days later and caused me no end of trouble with the dude (douche) who bought it.

i sold the working one twice to be honest, first guy was a young kid off here who installed it upside down and couldnt work out why it had infinity boost. once he turned it the right way up it was fine but wasnt happy with how little extra power the car had on 11psi than it did on 9... thus wanted a refund.

i hate those boost controllers with a passion. my own car has a turbotech.

Have heard a few complaints about 36s glad I didn't buy them ..31s seem to be a better tyre for the money by all accounts..

Nittos just over 400$ for 255/17s pretty good value and look more like a track tyre than street..whT are they like in the wet ?

Will either get these or splurge on the yokos :thumbsup:

Last time I checked I didn't think you could get the Nittos in a 45 series???

I could get a 255/40/17 but only a 235/40/17 for the front, that's why I ended up going with the Yokies.

Fwiw I got the ad08's much cheaper than 400 a corner.

Sorry back on topic now

Im not sure how much tyre choice has to do with it.

i remember speaking to a few great minds about that sort of thing who gave me great insight. from memory, manufacturers like porsche use wider tyres to get the same levels of grip with a better wear ratio. the concept behind that is in the weight of the car over the area of tyre.

the smaller the tyre is the more force it will have per unit of area. so a skinny tyre will have more pressure applied per square inch than a wider tyre.

i also read that wider tyres can give the illusion of more grip by needing more energy to turn and make lose grip. generally the skinnier tyres and wheels were seen as more efficient which is why in the early days of F1 they would run tiny tyres.

nowadays we are always pushing the boundaries with speed and need wider stuff to distrubute the wear and need less changes in a single race.

i did 10 minutes up mt buller rd in the rain with them...

Thats $400 per tyre?

That's rather expensive, I would rather rsr's I think

they can be found cheaper

assuming you mean Federal RS-R, they have them at option 1 garage, $265 for 265/35 R18, but 36's are like $395

does this mean kuhmo are alot better tyre???

im not advocating Option1 either, id prefer not to go back there myself after my last experience :domokun:

you guys should really try the achillies 123s. for the money they provide awesome grip! not sure how they wear but would be better then an RSR

ku36's are crap.. never touching them again

Interestingly they have a wear rating of 220 but we did a track night the other night and a friend used them on his S15 and they shagged out fairly quick. My AD08's were still like brand new in comparison after more laps

BUT they did seem to provide very good grip, the lap times he did were amazing for the wear rating...

yeah 255/40s and I meant $400 for a pair, sorry guys...425$ actually on ebay, but looks like they're out of stock :(

235/40s are fine on the front of a 33 as well, i'd run em..might even solve some of scrub issue ..though I doubt it...

whats the going rate on ad08s then??

i personally think that the load rating on the 123's is a bit of bullshit.. they seem to be on par with lower rated tyres for wear, but the rating is what it is so that it passes various motorsport rulings around the world

I got mine for 1230 bux including wheel alignment and some camber/castor adjustment.

That was for 255/45/17 rears and 235/45/17 fronts.........oh and nitrogen for around 8bux

Btw ARTZ I think a 235/40 on the front would look kind of odd IMO, but that's just me. Plus with the 40 rear and 45 front the rolling radius is almost perfect, I think there is something like 4mm difference

    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
