haha good stuff on the kms!!

ah thats no good martin!! im about the same, working tomorrow morning before our drive so i dont mind a quiet one :)

if anyone wants to sus out some roads me and martin are gunna go for a cruise tomorrow.

Yeh well as long as i have boost ill be going, im not to sure whats the deal with it, gave my boss a lift he said it was rly fast and i was just like meh boost does not seem to be working, i can hear the turbos spool and it has some boost but does not fell like maximum boost, maybe its just me imagining things and im used to it so it needs more boost now, meh fark it for tonight will get it sorted tomorrow when the new rad goes in ill let u guys know lol.

yeah man could be a number of things but i wouldnt think its serious, if your boost gauge is still working it could be something with the boost controller.

just ask your mechanic if he changed anything, because a lot of solenoids have to be pointing in a certain way

Ah Righto, no good for a cruise?? Well scope it out and see I guess.

The road to broke looks like a 1 lane situation too. I suppose sat Arvo will be one o the busiest times so today will be a good test.

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
