iv got a v3 with dccd.if i want to use the v4-6 dccd cluster do i just need to change the speedo sensor as you guys said,will all the other plugs from my v3 speedo go straight into the v4-6 cluster

Put the electric sender in the box to match the cluster you want to use.

* pending other cluster change pain lol

My Secondary just died (RIP), as changeover hit I got some boost loss then a "massive" cloud of blue/white smoke. It cleared out pretty quick, Primary seems fine. I have a spare VF27 to go on this weekend.

Am I going to do damage driving around for a few days on Primary with a blown Secondary? Guessing it will still be leaking oil? Or will it only leak under boost?

Edit: I\'m thinking oil could pool in the Compressor Housing waiting for VOD, or drain straight into the exhaust?

[funkytown]

if its blue smoking itl be most likely exhaust side so less chance of coming back through intake tract.

keep off boosting it and drive it carefully and it will be fine..

making some assumptions it hasnt seized and chipped bits of the turbine / compressor etc but it might just leak a little bit of oil - nothing dangerous though.

[Rosssub]

Sweet thanks, yeah I think it\'s just a leak. No strange noises, just smoke and lower boost.

Edit: Guess if it was leaking into the inlet side I\'d be getting smoke on Primary by now too?

[funkytown]

smoke on the inlet side you wouldn\'t really know about unless it was catastrophic leakage it will just burn off as part of combustion with slighter overall octane rating (oil is lower than gas).

just keep it off boost and treat it gentle.

I know ive seen this on here before but cant find it so will ask again.

Will the older mid 90s style 5 spoke 17" GTB wheels fit over 4 pot brakes?

Im pretty sure the twin spoke legacy wheels will but cant find any info on the older style.

[Johnnynz]

I asked that a while back, I think the answer was no.

Slip on spacer?

[funkytown]

The answer is no. 3mm spacer required. Split spokes onwards clear (be/bh)

[gotasuby]

[94 Leone]

Sweet. Just making sure it wasn\'t some horrible underlying issue that now reveals itself because i\'ve fixed the head gaskets.

Ok I have ab 02 H6 Legacy, what on earth does the power button by the automatic box actually do? Played with it while driving back to Auckland and it feels the gears are abit more responsive and it goes higher in the rev ranges...Again I could be full of it due to placebo but thats the ol bum o meter lol

[Marky]

Just makes it hold gears longer, shift up with less pedal, might make it firm up the changes (f knows) like less slurry

[lachlan]

it has a token effort towards keeping the engine in the power as opposed to shifting for econmy

[WRXER]

Sweet thanks, always been curious haha

Getting my rear bilstein struts rebuilt because one is entirely rooted. Struts are about 50,000kms since previous rebuild. I bought them 2nd hand.

The top hats could be 195,000kms old, or could be 50,000kms as Maclennans installed the bilsteins. There\'s no appearance of damage on the top hats. Should I replace them for preventative maintenance?

PS, they can get hammered sometimes.

[boon]

Get some adjusties, you\'re one of the few people who would actually use them to their potential

[albaru]

I would really like 8/6kg adjusties. That would be the bees knees

The cost of adjusties but mostly the cert is putting me off getting them Have just ordered 2x sets of tyres. That\'s the cost of adjusties and cert right there. Sigh

[newsuba]

What tyres dod you get Al ?

[albaru]

Hey Mike

Goodride for the looser surfaces, and Kumho V70a for the seal
