  1. How much fuel did you have? I had this problem when the filter at the end of the fuel pump was a tiny bit higher than stock, it would get worse the lower the fuel got. skylines and stageas suffer from a lack of fuel when throwing them around. May need a surge tank?
  2. It was a good read. An eye opener into how far Ferrari will go to win some numbers games. I know a lot of the top manufacturers have a strong grasp on the media and how their company is displayed, after all why wouldn't you? They hold the power to which media outlet is to host their next 'big thing' and being of such prestige and class they have a firm grasp for years to come, it doesn't matter what some media outlets say. Reminds me of some of the traders on this website, they have immunity from dodgy products because they give to the forum, the same as Ferrari give media outlets money in the form of listeners readers and viewers. ferrari's time of 2 seconds faster 0-100mph vs the typical owner of the same car is not so shocking to me. Again who is going to be the whistle blower. Understand that all sports cars are different, even if they are the same make and model, and none will be bang dead on with one another. I have to say 2 seconds is a lot of lost time and Ferrari can't cover that up. Don't bother with the 'tyres' debate. We all know manufacturers and dealerships have different options when it comes to what grade tyre you would like. Ferrari seem like the typical over achiever in the automotive world. You know, the one who breaks all the rules to get ahead, but cry like a 2 year old child when things don't go their way.
  3. Sealed the paint with some protech paint shield. Stripped the rear, ready for a big clean and leather/vynal protection. Once the rear is done. I will do the front. Pulled apart my gtr gauges, cleaned, re sprayed the insides and made the needles red. Put in a safc neo. I think I will be spraying the rims duplicolor bronze. I've been procrastinating about it for months though.
  4. haha This is the part that i don't understand. You said the ecu still adds the fuel reguardless whether it sees the air or not via the afm. But you also said that it will run rich... My understanding and real world practices show me it doesn't make ANY difference to fuel consumption whether you're using a bov or not. The afm will still log air after the throttle is cut, it will be in short bursts, but it will still log it.
  5. Can you explain that better? You just said the ecu will add fuel reguard less of whether the afm sees air or not. So you have contradicted your first senstance.
  6. Hey? And I never had any problems with bad fuel economy from bov to no bov. Ran 2 weeks back to back with no difference. I'm also using a metal intake pipe
  7. Looks like another thread i will be reading for this week haha. Great vid, and looks like it sits really tight through the corners
  8. Read the whole thread over the last week. Awesome stuff!
  9. Am I the only one who has read heaps of threads and been told from people about pin holes in the cheap braid? It could be a case of, the people I heard it from are in bed with the well known brands. But, I'd prefer to be safe than sorry. There are some really nice attachments for fuel braid, like the filter. But at the end of the day, it's a lot of money for something cheap that can go wrong.
  10. Had another go tonight with a standard 370z. I can come into a corner at the top of third, feint into a slide then put about 1/2-3/4 throttle down. I can link an S. But I'm only countering 200 degrees. 60% of the time, it works everytime.
  11. I don't know his name, sorry.
  12. I'm no expert. But that looks perfect and a lot of fun!
  13. Leaking covers. And possible engine bath before you bought it?
  14. Who else uses one? I'm having some real difficulty holding clean drifts.... Drifting at all It just feels wrong and weird.
  15. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the standard boost solenoid to the gauge?
  16. Measure everything and that should tell you. Have a friend with an alloy rad and clutch fan with shroud. I'm unsure of type and measurements though. Why are you upgrading if it's just a daily?
  17. ^^ This. Don't listen when they say they aren't making any money off the sale. And beware off the 'best' deal and when you go to sign, they throw in thousands of dollars for 'paperwork' and 'admin' 'transfer' etc etc fees. I had some dickhead last month try and tell me my repayments were $30 more a month than the agreed repayments, and that my math was wrong. Go in there with a price and see if they will match it, then work with other dealerships to get a better price. Used demo models are easy to haggle the price down. Also, if they're rude, and try and take you for a fool, let them know about it.
  18. You may be a wanker for posting that video. But atleast you don't shove fingers up your asshole
  19. You weren't wrong about the faster cars. That yellow s13 was very quick!
  20. Yep. One of my mates is getting stung with the 'oh there was a foreseeable problem, but I didn't bother telling you. Come in for another tune for $700' You'll need another tune if it was really down on power for the amount of boost he was putting in. Think about it... Once you put a new turbo on it will run lean.
