I need to replace all the silicone joiners on the intercooler, From the one from the throttle body to intake pipe, from intake pipe to intercooler piping, I measured them all. I measured 3in on the hose from intercooler piping to intake pipe but have read that people are using 2 1/2 in hose/joiner. And i would take it that the throttle body one would be 3in plus?

Its a standard intake system so if anyone knows the sizes i need as mine are drying out and all crappy, and think is causing a boost like.

All the info you guys have would be a great help

cheers guys

I think i have my originals in a box at home if that helps? But if you can its probably better to put fresh ones on if you are going to the effort :)

I think i have a spare 3" joiner from my setup, if i remember i can try it on the old pipes and let you know..... Send me a message tonight and ill go down the shed and try it out :)

Cheers heaps mate, your 34 sounds like a bit of a weapon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping to push 250+ kw, need to up grade the turbo fist, Got standard turbo now

and made 213.7 rwkw on 11 psi, which i was quite happy with.

But now i think there is a leak so need to change the silicone joiners!

Pretty good result with a stock turbo, you can run 250-270 with a high flow (plus the basics like injectors and ECU etc)....

Are you sure its the joiners mate? Any shops able to do a quick smoke test for you? It would be a good idea to check before replacing too many parts :)

Yeah mine is good fun! They are a great car in general!

Most of hoses need replacing so i am just gonna go through replacing bit by bit.

Had a hole bunch of boost issues when i put an apexi AVC type r in. But once a new tune with

nistune havent had any issues until a week ago and when under hard acceleration it slow drops

boost so i have just gathers that there is a boost leak some where.

I have been looking at high flowing the turbo, but it cost as much as a new turbo.

Hmmm make sure its not your BOV too, its pretty rare but mine was leaking under full boost and when i replaced it with a GFB plumbed back it was fixed (This is pretty uncommon from what i see on here though)

But yeah i'd be checking all the clamps are tight and the hoses (which you are).... Front mount or still side mount?

I had the same issue with BOV earlier on but changed that to a GReedy BOV

I have FMIC a Blitz return flow one.

I think it is the joiners that a Fingered, been wanting to change for a while but every time i go get some,

i ask people what size to get and they always say you need to measure them, I have. tried looking it up, some say

toy use 2 1/2 joiners and stretch over, some say to use 2.5 into 2.75 and so on. So hope i can get some

good info on what to use and smash it out and see if that is the issue.

Car toys here in adelaide but they can be a bit pricey some times

I am looking a justjap.com and was hoping to get it off them.

Bit cheaper, keep getting told that turbosmart make kits but cant find them either

I cant imagine them being an off the shelf kit.... My cars done 145km and was running the stock ones up until a few thousand k's ago! I would still be triple checking other stuff ;)

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
