Hi Guys

I've just imported a some parts from Oz and thought I'd get a few extra things that people might be interested in.

I've got some Turbosmart bleed valves:

http://www.turbosmart.com.au/boostcont_aus.html (I only have the device at the top of the page)

I use one on my car they work very well and are top quality. I've not experienced any spiking that is normally associated with bleed valves - I'm pretty sure this is because they are gated.

The other part I've imported are some Whiteline (www.whiteline.com.au) Rear sub-frame kits. They can be used to give different charateristics to the cars (S13, S14, R32, R33 and Z32) rear handling.

I've taken a very dodgy picture (need to buy a scanner!) of the instructions:

The bushes are very easy to fit and can be used to stiffen up the subframe, optimise for traction or optimise for drifting.

Heres a couple of pics:

If anyone is interested in either of these products please mail me at jez@horsham-developments.co.uk

Cheers
Jez

jezz are they easy enough to fit?, do you know what the boost range is?, are they prone to spikey? if the aobve is ok i'll have one. (maybe 2) will they fit on a S13, and S14? :)

Andy - replied to your mail earlier but I'll answer here too as I'd imagine other people might have the same question.

The bleed valves are easy to fit. You just need to hose them in between the actuator and the turbo.

The boost range is from the boost pressure without a boost controller all the way up to the maximum the turbo can produce.

They will fit an S13 and S14

Cheers

Yup - They don't replace the bushes just stiffen things up.

I'm not sure how long they'd take to fit, but you dont need to remove the sub-frame, just loosen it off a bit.

I'm going to be fitting a set to my car over the weekend, so I'll let you know how I get on.

Jez, can the bleed valves run at standard boost if I want then?
Have you got a piccy of it installed and the page showing info on it says u need hose clamps and silicon hose, does this come with it?

The boost valves can be shut right off so the car will run at the std pressure.

I've not a pic handy at the moment but I do have a some hose left.

Mail me if you're interested and I'll try and get some more info to you.
