Ok

Is it compulsory to have your car certed for an external wastegate even if its plumbed in? car went through cert inspection with the said wastegate attached and plumbed in/exhaust, but they only certed for wheels suspension and seats but did not write "wastegate on cert plate"/ Dont know why cert guy only did wheels etc

Then later on down the track car gets pulled over and cop checks car and pink stickers you for Wastegate even when its plumbed in.

Can I win case in court or will I loose?

Any advice? Thanks

ur the secnd guy who i have heard this happen to

a mate had the same thing happen on his skyline and he had to recertify the car (but when the original cert was done the gate was not on and he added a plumb back later)

so basically, have a chat with ur cert guy and hopefully he can vouch for it and will be on the paperwork and u can get away with not having to pay

good luck bro

Dumb (and well asked question) time

Does anyone know of an oil or addative that has had good effects on piston slap?

Cars sounding abit rough in the mornings. Am using penrite 10w-50 seems to be okay just wondering if theres anything better out there. ;D

I don\'t think any additive can "fix" or mitigate piston slap. Just be easy on the car while cold. That\'s what I\'ve been doing for 2 years now

Do WRX Header tank mounting points change between v4-5-6?

Got a Stainless steel one today but it doesnt look like the brackets are right for my v5. Maybe my eye sight is OTP.

- Edit -

Dodgy measuring in the dark says its different lol.

Is there any stress on the tank? Or could I mount it with say 1 bolt to the Intake Manifold and use a piece of steel with drilled out holes in each end to make the bottom brace reach the mount point for the bottom of it.

If that makes any sense ha ha.

Yeah but... why would that have been done I guess

The amount of cars with "forged pistons but I lost the reciept" on TM... Yeah, yeah sure you do. Just like it\'s only ever run 9psi.

Right up there with "Cambelt done" - generally with no reciept means: bought the cheapest one from supercheap and just stuck the sticker somewhere and biffed the belt haha

For a GC/GF8, what are the types of bulbs used in the rear tail lights? I\'m wanting to replace with LED ones. Is it worth it? Not wanting to blind the poor bugger behind me when I brake, but a little more light intensity wouldn\'t hurt. Especially when reversing.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
