Tell me about the book passing, it seems that any of my problems have been everyone else's fault but yours or the parts that I purchased from ones self If Mike tells me that the gasket was the problem, then it was the problem the fact that it is one of your gaskets is nither here nor there, they aren't here to cause trouble for anyone and certainly wouldn't tar your name just for the sake of it, whats the point in that? As said before, the gasket was due to be looked at but once the inlet was removed and the defects found it was thought that this was the issue I never said the TPS sometimes does and sometimes doesn't sit in the bracket, I said that due to where the bracket for the TPS has been situated by yourselves, it isn't in the completely correct place so will be extremely hard to get the throttle position spot on as it would have been on the stock TB I have also sent a couple of PM's regarding the problems but not a lot has been said! If you prefere, we can keep the rest to PM's all the problems I hope have now been sorted but I am very disappointed so far in some of the products I have received! especially due to the amount of time you had my car. My thoughts exactly bud, as I am sure it would have been the same with the guys at TD, but hey ho! next time I will ignore any defects on the flanges and just replace the gaskets lol Proper boost huh? I spose 1.4 bar on a GT28 is just peasant power at the moment I need to man up! In all seriousness, I just want to have her back and enjoy it but don't worry Mr Bridgett, 2 bar will be coming to a computer screen near you soon Thanks mate will hopefully be able to list a few changes soon Yeah I know mate its quite disheartening really, due to the time and money that has gone in to her but as you say progress has been made and I have been assured she is purring away nicely now

Some nice progress dude, those little touches like the lights are cool

I have an auto one with throttle body if your in need of something like that?

Yeah I know bud, i'm not trying to cause trouble......... ........just letting those know whats going on with my build and the parts that are involved Yeah all is good thanks mate indeed bud, we shall see the final outcome soon I hope Don't mean to shit stir They do indeed do some awesome work, hence why I will keep going back Cheers John, there are indeed horror stories everywhere no doubt lol I know bud, hopefully will get to enjoy her properly soon though Yeah mate tell me about it, for the money it all cost and time in which it took I expected no slip ups lol and thanks for the compliment lol Tis indeed just common sense surely? they are easily avoidable problems if a little more care was taken! Was a slight strain on the guys lol, especially with the £££ involved Sorry to hear this mate, I am yet to see really how she gets on but things like the lack of quality to the flange don't bode well....... Things will possibly change in the future but at least I know now the inlet is spot on if I wanted to sell it on..............a lot of the want for the inlet came from a slight case of magpie syndrome lol! No no no, the inlet was taken off and found to have an un-even flange along with a chunk of metal missing, this obviously was then thought to be the cause of the problems. It was then sent to there machine shop to have the defect alloy welded and then the whole flange skimmed to make it level then pressure tested to make sure all was sound. Inlet was sent back put on and the problem was still there, I mentioned the gasket so a different one was tried and all my problems went away. Maybe it was originally the defects on the inlet flange that then caused faults with the gasket after the flange was sorted I don't know, but it was certainly one of your products. Again, the gasket was left on the first time as it was thought the problem was with the inlet so at first didn't take to much of a look at it I guess........... Not to sure on the wastegate flange as that was also taken off to be looked at so I assume they have now resealed it when refitting. The clamp was tight, once re tightened the first time it again came loose, was also found to not sit tight around half of the flange. I am using an auto TPS, how if its not set in a bracket is it fixed? because I remember having a conversation with you about it. I am sure either Zisco or WEPR could make a turbo kit of and adequate quality and as I said, I am yet to properly test yours yet due to these running problems. With regards to the inlet, the TD one looks quite interesting I haven't declined any help, I have only really had a discussion with you about the exhaust flange with the other problems noted yet not much was said. If I had no problems with the products I would have nothing to say but good things however that is not the case. I assumed the kit I was getting was then best on the market hence the money I paid but silly mistakes keep unfortunately being found Glad you are getting your problems sorted bud, I had no intention of just saying this to 'run people down' I had problems with my build/certain parts and that is all I have noted Lol THANKS FOR THE WELL EDUCATED REPLY, I AM WELL AWARE THAT HUMANS MAKE MISTAKES BUT IT APPEARS THEY HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE............... Exactly mate, glad you can see where I am coming from things like this can seriously fuck up ones car I am quite sure the guys at TD wouldn't have left any loose bolts anywhere surely the fact my car now runs perfectly after the gasket is removed kind of proves it has a slight fault? what about the defects on the inlet flange? you have kind of skirted around that Where there any comments removed? I haven't looked at this in a couple of days all seems ok to me mate not sure if I missed anything though...... Lol

Something along the lines of this - http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/68270-r35-gtr-vs-325bhp-glanza/

Silly question

Bad topic to start, people get touchy about this kind of thing lol

Hahahahahaha!

Soooooooooooo, as most of you know I have had a few running problems with my car since she came back from TD so as soon as she came back from the body shop a date was booked for me to get her back up there and let the guys investigate as to what was going on. I had serious issues with the start, on some occasions 15 attempts at turning the key, the car kept cutting out when having the foot preesed down on the clutch for to long trying to change gear and the idle was so horrendously bad! going from 1000rpm-500rpm-1200rpm-300rpm-1000-rpm cut out! to put it politely she ran like a bag of shit. Admittedly it has taken slightly longer than expected but the problem has finally been found and Mike has said she is now running as sweet as a nut Work started after they came back from the nerburg and went over the car with a fine toothcomb. As far as they were concerened, it was nothing they had done there side and as a lot of the same parts had been fitted to other cars without problems, it started to point fingers in the direction of the other provided parts namely the Race-Tech built things. Before I get in to what they found, I am going to list the problems I have found with parts in the short time I drove her before she went back. Throttle body - A nut came loose causing the throttle body pulley to jam on full throttle as I was coming to a roundabout! was only informed after the event that I was apparently supposed to use locktite on the nut!?! V-Band clamps - Was told he provided his own as all the others on the market where shit! the one joining the turbo to mani came off causing the 2 to come apart causing major stress on the exhaust system. Also don't sit around the whole flange, only half! I will try and get some pics up to explain it better. V-Band flanges - Don't even sit flush, leaking black soot everywhere especially the externall wastegate flange! TPS bracket - Doesn't sit the TPS properly sometimes causing a lumpy acceleration and in turn making me look like a major noob that cant really drive lol Exhaust flange - Sitting right on the rear beam so almost nearly every bump I go over you can probably imagine what the noise is like! Albeit small problems some will say but its the simple things like this that can ruin ones driving experience and after the money that was spent on the kit, I did expect a whole lot more! Anyway, back to what TD found As I said, they found nothing there side so looked else where. The first place to look was the inlet, this was taken off and sent to there machine shop for an inspection and pressure testing. It was found to have a defect on the flange in which a large chunk of metal was missing and along with flange not being level either it was thought this was the cause of my problems. So the defect was alloy welded and then the whole flange skimmed to make things flush with the head. The inlet was then sent back to TD, put back on my car and started............problems still there! Fucking cunt lol! I mentioned to MIke that I had one of his thermal intake gaskets so that was the next port of call. Inlet was whipped back off, gasket off and both the TD lads laughed, what the fuck is this? a poxy thin piece of shit that looked increasingly suspect with every second it was looked at. This was chucked away swiftly and replaced with one of TD's own thermal gaskets. inlet fitted, wired back up.............................key turned...............................car started first time! holy fuck! was taken for a test drive, cut out from depressing clutch - GONE! Bad idle - GONE! TPS issue - GONE! All of this stress for a shitty gasket, I couldn't believe it! I have already asked for my refund along with a couple of bungs for sensors that weren't done! I am happy she is running right but extremely disappointed in the quality of the products I have recieved so far and to take the piss out of everyone else for there stuff is just ridiculous! I am extremely wary of everything else I have with the Race-Tech logo and hope it doesn't continue to disappoint.

Thanks man, not had the chance to drive her really, have had running problems so pretty much came out of the body shop and went back to TD lol Very much appreciated mate I can certainly see a couple of similarities I know you secretly love the spoiler as well, its ok haha! Cheers man got the the foglights from Id-workz bud............if that's what you ment? lol

That is a painted standard strut not a cusco one mate

I'll take it bud Pm me

It's been a while........ Updates to follow soon.........

Bump

^^^that's for an ep82 and they already have the design for it so its easier for them to do. They would have to start from scratch with a Glanza and being a sunroof model will be slightly different again which in turn would cost more. Obviously if you were to fit it yourself things would work out at half the price

Sounds awesome! Will be looking forward to seeing the after winter changes bud

I've stripped mine, doesn't really sound much different TBH And looks racecar.......................

Very hard to find, I had this trouble If you can find a cusco one, fair play If not, then custom is the only way and your looking at about £2k

I also have a black spoiler with break light bud

Just the pipe that comes off the turbo to intercooler. long ass route is over the mani and back down, short route is off the turbo and straight down to the intercooler. Some times people move the port itself on the intercooler core from the side to the back to make the route even shorter the shorter the route, the cooler and faster the air flows ;) don't have any pice though in afraid lol

A GT30 being slapped on this monster?

Are you on here? Seen the car in calne a couple of times as well

Im on 1000's and as far as I'm aware, they are spot on! Have a look at the injector dynamics 1000's bud That splitter is lovely! Looks so mean!

Very nice mate, some sweet fucking progress right there now for the big boost!!!

I have one from a glanza, have no idea if it's the same as what your after?
