J-Calico Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well done on getting it all together in such a short time frame, and making the tune date. 360+hp is nothing to be scoffed at either. but whats the story with the boost creep my friend? Dont tell me the world renowed and trusted 'Tial' is not holding boost properly? My 34 has an older style tial, and im sure its only a 38, and hold the GT35/40 perfectly at just over a bar.. Wheels look fucking sa-weet! Are you just going to rock the centres outside and stretch a small-ish tyre over them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 There were a couple of suggestions on the cause of the boost creep, manifold design, too small a pipe to the wastegate (the most likely cause), having no pipe on the outlet side of the wastegate, pipes out of the manifold not matched to the holes in the runners etc etc Phil did mention that you occasionally get "lazy" gates that take a long time to open fully which I will test for but I don't think it's the problem. Stretching tyres won't get me a cert unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to buy 275s if I can't sort out getting bands made the right side so I can use the 255s I have currently. The only problem with that is 275s will probably have the tread outside of the guards which will mean I won't pass cert either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSM Garage Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Man, Chris really did pimp yo ride. Monitors on the roof? Hatervision! Looks good my friend. Real good! Do these things look any good without a rear bumper? Do they have a less protruding rear bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 No they don't and yes there is. The Fairlady bumpers don't have overriders and I'm pretty sure they are thinner. There's lots of ugly bits under the bumper, some people smooth it out but I reckon it looks dumb. Or facelift bumpers are a bit different, wouldn't match the rest of the car though. Can't find one with no bumper but not smoothed out, so here is a smoothed out one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Those wheels look good man. A lot better than the previous ones. Do you miss the L at all? RB's are nice and you've the best of 'em but the sound of an L is something all to itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I miss the L series mainly because that motor had been with me almost from the start and even though it had its problems it never let me down once, that's including driving from Christchurch to Auckland and the Auckland back to Christchurch 3 odd years later. I hope that the RB can match that reliability even with a bit more power. I quite like the sound of the RB, it doesn't sound like your typical "watery" as I describe it big exhausted staino mufflered Cefiro, Laurel or Skyline. It'll be interesting to see what it sounds like at high revs with the wastegate hooked up back to the exhaust, I'll probably be getting that done this week. It is actually quieter than the L series for some reason, even with the exhaust underchanged after the downpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
