well ive sent 3 pms to him over a month ago and still no reply, not even a confirmation... thats all i want

pm.s should be as good as an email,as he doesn't have to read this specific thread

will try an email for the fun of it

Does anyone have a phone number for Jamex ?

i have tried 2 different numbers and i cant seem to get the right company, one is in VIC and is an electronics company and the other is something in menai marketplace

also is jamex at 43 yanderra ave bangor?

just an update, all parts delivered personally

installed swaybars and subframe mount bushes and f**k what a difference.... very good and recommended

Hi All

Matt here

To Anyone who could not get through, I am now answering PMs and all questions for Gary the best I can. With the new business extremely busy, we have been flat out, however gary is off on Holidays to the USA next week for 5 weeks. This does not mean that sales will hault, as I will personally be looking after all sales and enquiries from this point on. For anyone with more technical questions, there are some I can assist with, but any that I can not will be forwarded to Gary.

So please, PM me (I will check the GB threads when possible, but PM is best - I will supply an email address and a phone number for me)

Cheers

Matt

so the settings on the first page are just for a road kit right? what about the track settings?

also, which parts are suitable to compliment existing coilovers?

As per previous post...PM me man!!

I'll answer anything.

Track settings - Need details on the car, what's in it, what you wanna do

Again - what do you have? What do you want from the car? Budget?

PM me, I'll give you my email

Thanks Matt/Gary,

I know I ordered at a bad time, so I had to wait. I got my shocks, bump stops and covers. Measured it today before fitment and got 335mm front, 340mm rear. I will raise the front one groove. Should make it handle better, more comfortably and give me some more gutter clearance. We'll see how it goes in practise.

I had no idea it was THAT low....guard is still about 5mm above the tread.

Thinking about it I assume that raising with short springs gives a limit to the suspension and could cause "topping out", if you know what I mean- when the other wheels compress.

Edited by simpletool

Put in the front shocks, and raised by one notch (now on 2nd top notch). Car sits about 1cm above before, is much firmer when braking and turning while also being very much more comfortable over sharp bumps. Overall feels firmer, but you don't have to whince when a road join comes along.

Overall it did what it says in the thread. Happy.

Yet to put in rear shocks.

btw 345mm at the front seems really good, springs must be some Jap spec ones that came on the front of the car.

i've had the shocks, springs and camber kits in for a couple of days now. has made a huge difference. however i did notice that while it soaks up the smaller and sharper bumps, the larger ones set me bouncing a lot, esp if there are more than a couple in a row. oh and also if there are ripples/bumps etc in a corner it tends to bounce my back end out. is this normal? i've never had am suspension in any car i've driven and i dont think its a setup prob cause it was installed by centerline in vic

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
