Hey all just done a freshen up of my ej20 on my type r (photos and info will be written up soon) but we swapped out the vf24 that was on there for a vf30 great upgrade big difference but today after I warmed the car up when I started to drive it all of a sudden it sounded like I had a set of gilmores on my car I'm unsure of if this is safe as it has never sounded like that since the turbo change all of about 400ks ago. I did reuse the oil feed line from the vf24 and used the bolts from the 30 any one have any ideas? Being starved of oil maybe??

*UPDATE* so we did figure it out the problem was low power steering fluid due to a leaking part (attached photos) they arent the greatest photos but hopefully somone can distinguish it.

the noise is still the p/s pump complaining - if you run it dry they can seize or get damaged so make sure its topped up.

Also if its leaking- causing it to run dry, find and fix the leak, as PS fluid is REAL flamable.

Also make sure you put in ATF - not normal ps fluid as subbies need ATF (check the lid of your PS pump) DX3 from memory

Wynns do a power steering leak additive. Amazing stuff mates bongo hadnt had fluid in for years and ran out of the system like a tap. Put in the additive and didnt leak again. It rejuvenates the seals. Comes in a green toothpaste tube by memory.

the pictures are your power steering rack leaking, it needs to be replaced/repaired. it is illegal to drive it as it is as it is not up to WOF standard.

cheers mate thought it was the rack but wanted to confirm, yeah one should know not to drive the car when ya losing so much PS fluid, so needless to say it hasnt moved since i found the pool of fluid on the garage floor but cheers for the heads up on how its not WOF standard

      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
