Why don't you get the DEFI din gauge setup. 3 gauges in a single din unit, and you can sit them under/above the stereo space, depending on what car you have. Look a lot more neater and subtle, but are still tough. I've attached some pictures for you to have a look.. Pillar mount looks stupid, gauges hanging off the side of your door! Thanks, Abu

Yeah your right, I also thought they were Model6 AVS wheels but the spokes look too thin.. Hmmm.. not the best looking rims. Thanks, Abu

Sorry to hear about your experience, hope you get it soon. Sure makes me feel better, 6 weeks is ages and I'm complaining about a few days! They always screw you once the car arrives at the docks. Customs and AQIS are the biggest waste of time + money.. ever! Anyways, if I get started I will never stop, so I will leave it there lol Good luck with it man, hang in there, it will work out in the end. Make sure you lodge that complain, things need to change with the processes needed to get a car into the country, its so timely and costly not to mention inconvenient. Thanks, Abu

Hey Um yeah its best to have it before the car actually arrives, but as long as you have it when it arrives its fine. My car arrived on Friday 27th July, I had the import approval on Monday 30th July. Faxed it through, and was told 24hours for customs clearance, 24hours for AQIS inspection then will be ready for pickup. Its now Thursday 2nd of August and no car still. It failed the first AQIS inspection (total fkn scam) and is now going for a 2nd at a nominated AQIS inspection station, which happens to be pretty far away from me and the docks, so the car has to get towed.. at my expense!! + steam cleaning fee.. which is the most I have ever seen! A further $200.00 on top of the shipping, customs clearance, storage, tax, stamp duty and all the other bullshit like booking fee's, quarantine charges and so on, are now applicable. Anyways cant do much.. They are taking there sweet time doing everything, but I hope to have the car on Friday. According to the company that are clearing it, if the transport of the car to the new AQIS inspection place takes longer, and they are busy and cant do the steam clean + inspection, I will be looking at pickup earliest Monday 6th August.. Anway's, just thought I would share.. don't know why, just feel pissed off. Thanks, Abu

Hahah lol ease up. Although, once you have a stand alone ECU its all fun and games after that. Possibilities are endless.. until the injectors max out.. and then the turbo, and then the engine gives in!.. But seriously, getting the car tuned gets the best results! You see so much gain and improvement across the board with a good tune, there is no supplement for that!.. Thanks, Abu

Not a problem man, glad I could help. Thanks, Abu

You cant push it to 14 - 15psi without a tune as it pings and timing retards etc.. Its not safe and you are guaranteed to blow something on standard ECU. Even with his car on 12-13psi it leans out and starts to ping. 12psi MAX is safe on STD ECU with supporting mods and a fuel pump.. Stock turbo MAY be able to hold 13psi as it flows less than a high flow turbo, so it doesnt need as much fuel to back up its 13psi like a high flow does. Big turbo at 14psi, for example, and a small turbo at 14psi are 2 totally different things! Thanks, Abu

Oh dam lol Yeah at the docks Thanks, Abu

Oh man that is fkn hot! Have you spotted my car by any chance!? Silver R32 with twin canons, just came in from Japan on Friday lol Customs is taking its time to clear it! Thanks, Abu

I also get a lot of those kangaroo's down in Melbourne, in the suburbs.. But in all seriousness, not to far from me is a reserve, back way road.. And there is always dead kangaroo's and stuff on the side of the road. Those things get freaking big.. can cause some serious shit! Thanks, Abu

All done. Thanks, Abu

Hey man Basically the stock exhaust is too restrictive to flow anything more than what it does, and you wont see many improvements/gains unless you do upgrade the exhaust. Exhaust is a good starting point due to the fact the easier the engine breathes, the easier it is for it to produce power, sort of like a healthy person.. if you get what I mean lol Hence the 2 mods people usually do, turbo back exhaust, and pod filter/cold air intake. Once the exhaust gases can escape quicker the easier the turbo breathes, less strain, more boost which obviously in turns equals more power. Doesn't always have to be loud, get a muffler put in, and a high flow cat, or a resonator, that should keep the noise level down. The ideal size, best flowing is a 3" turbo back. You wont have to go any bigger. No ones says you have to have a canon just because its a Jap car lol. Just get a stock straight/twin 3" tip out the back, will look pretty standard to the eye. Hope some of that helps. Thanks, Abu

Cousin!! Judging by the above replies it should be safe to push it to no more than 220rwkw with an SAFC II + GTR fuel pump. At least you can check the knock and if we get it tuned on the dyno, AFR's will be spot on, but there is no room for upgrade once that is done. Depends how much you want to go though, high-flow is more than capable of more, but injectors will max out and then you will need to get larger ones, then SAFCII cant support after market injectors so you will have to scrap that and go stand alone ECU.. If you want to get to 230 -240rwkw,you will need to go the following; Bosch 040/GTR pump Injectors - something like 550cc Stand alone ECU + tune So now your stuck lol. If you want to go over 220rwkw it is recommended that you upgrade injectors, and you cant run after market injectors off standard ECU, so that means after market ECU.. Predicament! Thanks, Abu

Hmmm you are right.. that is one big turbo. Would chomp that 600ml coke bottle in a second!! Free bump, good luck with the sale. Thanks, Abu
-
Saw yours man, personally think you are asking a little bit to much for a 2nd hand STD turbo. But you have a right to advertise as you please. Good luck with the sale! Thanks, Abu
-
Good stuff man. Thanks for answering my questions! Abu
-
Not a problem man. Good luck with it all. You wont be disappointed with the GTRS!! I don't think anyone has a bad thing to say about it :sorcerer: Thanks, Abu
-
Thats the best thing about high flows, all you need is a better flowing oil feed to keep the turbo lubricated well and your set! How much did you high flow set you back? I can see by your signature you have got some good results with it. Thanks, Abu

Hey There is a few in Melboune at the moment. I was looking for one for ages and managed to find a few. Have got one already so I will PM some details of people who have one. Thanks, Abu
-
Thats a really good idea. Then you can compare your before and after results, and hope they are positive lol Another good tip was to ask the tuner to make it a little leaner down low, off boost. That way they tune the fuel for the whole rev range, not just up top when it hits boost! (another forum member advised me of this!) Then you will also get better fuel economy driving off boost But get a dyno print out and make sure the AFR's are safe! Good luck man, post up the results when you get them!! Thanks, Abu

LoL! Car will be gutless with no turbo. Compression is way to low to run as a NA motor. Like everyone said, get another car to drive around till you get off your P's, or worry about it when the time comes (when you get your P's) Thanks, Abu

That reminds me.. I was reading in the recent, if not the 2nd recent copy of HPI magazine and a article they believe 235rwkw is achievable on the standard turbo.. Require the following mods according to HPI; 3" turbo back After market stand alone ECU (they use PFC) Fuel pump (recommended 040) Intercooler (GTR intercooler) Injectors (740cc) The above is according to HPI magazine.. I don't think it would be that reliable as which that much power the standard turbo would be close to if not out of its efficiency range and pretty close to maxing out, if not giving way.. I'd say, and I'm sure most would agree, above sort of 210-215rwkw you would want to upgrade the turbo for reliability. With a bigger turbo you would probably make the same, if not more power, on the same boost.. if not less Thanks, Abu
