the mbl8 is pretty cheap .

think its like 40 something for a bottle but that will do like 3 engines and a couple of gear boxs and it actually works

3 x 17 = fail

isnt a ej20r shim over bucket lifters ? so lifter cleaner will do SFA ?

sure its not just the injectors slappin around ?

Quantity of mbl8 depends on engine size. Also for single use $17 > $40

ae the cambelts on legacies from 93-98 the same? i know tensioners are different

Have seen 2 different belt lengths on the quad cam, one for the earlier type and one for the later with the extra idler by the tensioner bearing. Unless it has the extra skinny idler it will be the same as the earlier ones.

should power steering ever be affected by braking?

i\'ve started noticing recently that if i brake late into a sharp corner the steering gets considerably heavier, don\'t really want to go vac leak hunting if i don\'t have to

Probably more of an alignment issue as the powersteering shouldn\'t be affected by vacuum.

Na allignment should be sweet as it was done less than 1000k ago. Might check out cv\'s though as i got a mechanic to change a torn boot and i\'m not convinced he actually checked whether there was any damage before chucking more grease in and new boot

Anyone know whats so special about an "Osaka" RB20DET. I get the RB20DET bit but I have seen so many people list there RB as an "Osaka" and I dont know what thats all about. closest I can figure is made in Osaka Japan? Duno why that would make difference though.

I\'m about 70% sure my front left has a slowish leak.

a. How to confirm?

b. Does this come under the free puncture repairs most tyre places do?

have you put spit on the valve to make sure its not that ?

spray soapy water on the bead on each side and check for bubbles / find something big enough and dunk it right under water

b depends how crafty and what the tire place is like .

stop right outside and let it mostly down and drive in . then ask them to help / prolly works best if you get the mrs to do that tho

I used to go over to Japan and get car parts for a part time job. Most of the Cars we wreaked had very little Kms, so little people never used to believe us when I told the Kms.

Now days you can just ring up and order a Container full of engines and parts and have it sent over to you.

Yeah nah :)

Although the 15" with some good AT\'s on it would be better off road, the 20\'s make it a weapon on road, and as I do a fair bit of road running I will get the 20 repaired ( about $200 which is still cheaper than 1200 for a set of 15 and tires )

Not one of the HRC35 holset jobs is it? Looks big enough

Positioning of everything (wastegate, angle of the covers etc) looks like RB placed stuff

Weird it does have XR6 stamped on it though - Wouldn\'t fit an XR6 as the exh flange is wrong aaaand wastegate would be hitting the alternator

but anyway

      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
