Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

My 2c, I use the 29s and love them, 2500s I really don't like - upsets many when you say it, they feel like blocks of wood compared to the pagids. Have a heap of bite and feel all through the temp range.

This is track car only though, for the street the pagids are much better behaved though, the 2500 need temp before they quieten down and brake properly.

The pagids for me when cold only make a little tinkle - very quiet, 2500s on our Evo you see people winding up windows and peds hands over ears!

I believe the 29s are an evolution of the 19 or am I mistaken?

Paul,

I didn't think the 2500's were an issue on the street. Worked straight out of the driveway. I was a little concerned about the RS19's being a bit annoying when cold but you say the opposite si that's great!

The guy I spoke to said the RS29's offer a bit more initial bite but all in all they're the same pad.

I will report back.

Not coming to DECA?

Nah they keep organising it same weekend as targa high country so can't make it. Was looking forward to drooling over you car! Spewin

On the 2500s, now I think about it they were actually better with that Alcon kit you have - I had the same kit on my 32, not so nice on the evo. Still pagids all the way for me!

Ah damn :(.

Interesting about the pads with that kit. They don't seem to like too much heat. I have left the rears as is considering the size of the rear rotor (350 mm). I can always change them later on if it feels unbalanced.

So, after Tuesday, it looks like I have broken or bent a tooth in second gear.

Time for another aftermarket gearbox.

PPG straight cut dog box? The OS 5 speed doesn't cut it! :(

Dunno why it broke.

I pulled the boost down to 1.5 bar (minimum I can run). Came in second session and second gear was knocking. Terry at award thinks its a bent or broken gear.

Dunno when I'm gonna pull it out. I'm a bit heart broken ATM.

      ER34 RB25DE Auto - Would a flush ever fix an "A/T" light?

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to.

      I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD

      I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
