Geez - Imagine how pissed and r00ted I could have been if I had done that Chris -

frigging modified cars - it never ends -

never

never

never

even if you want it to

Your turbo will blow up

and you get a bigger turbo than before

so you want more response

so you upgade your RB25 to an RB30

And then you need brakes

And then you need suspension

and then something breaks

so you upgrade the broken bit

you get more power

and your gearbox breaks

so you fix that

and then something else breaks

and so on

and so on

and so on

:)

Breathe B-Man, someone pass the paper bag. :) So it was your turbo was it? Buy an R32 mate, throw away everything :)

LOL, my secret is to remember everything you do to your car will have to be a compromise, otherwise you are right you could easily spend countless thousands on trying to make it as all round a performance car as something like a GT3.

We are Ozzies, think Phase III, dont worry about brakes or susp, sink pi55 whilst your sux nitrous Max :)

Also, at the moment i have my bov (hks ssqv) in the stock postion. When i install the fmic, is it best to put the bov on the pipe coming out of the plenum?

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
