Christmas came early this year … titanium piping ready for installation … IMG_5349.mov

Thanks for the info… guessing less rewarding for my hks ss turbo setup. Might just be more beneficial for a single turbo. I’m just concerned it will hurt my engine long run which would be very expensive.

Hahah yeah but a man got to do what a man wants to do. Won’t be using it infront of the 5O anyway. My car is illegal as is with the mods.

Just curious anyone running anti lag tune on a bi turbo setup… guessing the benefits aren’t too rewarding … to be honest I do the like the shooting flames on revving though … I know it might not be good for the longevity but i do think I would enjoy the flame shooting in front of crowds. Take it however u would like, 😭

Great info as usual. Thanks … im already running a hks oil cooler. I will check my coolant mixture - that’s interesting. I guess if the problem persists the next stage is to run datalogging but I will need to do this when the temperatures are crazy hot. Hong Kong is going thru a heat wave right now.

Yes still have that .. what to keep the stock parts and plastic bits relatively stock looking as I started off with a pristine vspec specimen. Will resell her in a couple years. Is this stroud restrictive?

Yes if u mean by the plastic section behind the radiator?

This is the issue as the stock gauge I have heard won’t really read correctly and if it moves up it’s already too late. Mine moved up a little - I would say just past middle. Hence my motor wasn’t cutting off below 6500 max boost, I think if the temp was really high it wouldn’t go pass 3000 … that’s why I wanted to run a separate more efficient water guage and sensor to check readings closer - if anyone else is running them? And add a boost gauge while I’m at it.

Running a complete link setup now with a tune… reason I think it’s heat related as it only does the cut off after 30 mins of driving in the heat and didn’t do it at night time when the temp came down. Otherwise will look at the data and possible change the over boost max boost settings on the ecu. But yeah your right little guessing…

Hi all, so after my hks ss turbo complete setup with all the trimmings and a tune … I have sometimes my ecu cutting boost most likely because of water temps going too high… safe guard in the tune. Suspect ppl are running aftermarket water temp gauges and sensors as the stock one is very inaccurate? just a background it’s currently 36 degrees in the day and 90 percent humidity here. I had some issues after a 45 min drive at 6500 1.4-1.5 bar. What is everyone doing to get around this issue bar changing up to a more advance fan system? I have already upgraded the radiator to a more efficient one. But I guess I could go even better higher level. One I am running actually came with the car. heard these motors have serious over heating issues especially if u stop and start in traffic and it’s very hot. thanks

Yeah think they don’t make carbon fiber ones unfortunately

That’s sick but I have a feeling really expensive …

Hi all, was wondering what are the best add on side skirts for the n1 spats. I have a front lip by top secret right now which I want to even out in height. if nothing is good out there might just get a top secret carbon hood. added a recent photo of my engine bay for viewing pleasure. Coming along slowly just taking a while in Hong Kong to get all the parts. Next up is a titanium custom intake for my hks turbos. thanks

They titanium though … if so sign me up 😭

So u just use upgraded speakers and a blue tooth with the stock head unit? Do u have any recommendations for speaks that will fit? Thanks great info.

This is actually a valid point. Need to test the wiring to see if it’s still good. As my cd changer control isn’t working now.

Hi all, so some of my speakers still work some I don’t think work. The old head unit is still all functional. If I keep the stock head unit as I feel it’s vintage then can I just pop in new speakers - would that be plug and play? Would I need to bypass the amps in the doors and back? Heard there’s 3 of them. anyone run a blue tooth into the stock head unit? Or is the only option running one of those tape decks with cable coming out? my cd deck controller although rare I don’t think is working anymore either. Guess if I got that working with the speakers then I could load some cds. just seeing my options here if anyone has some advise.

Hi all, anyone recommend a good brand for a nice bolt dress up kit in chrome blue? Titanium bolt replacement. Not sure what company to go with for a reasonable price. thanks

They look good from the side though … but not back…

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend them. I have them on mine and the fitment is horrible. I’m a perfectionist and u cant the material to bend and adapt flush. Here are photos of mine I have … after two fittings.

That is correct. My advice would be to get the top secret ones as they are top notch quality … I have them on my car now. That is for the rear spat n1 style ones.

Nice just got in contact with them and thanks. 550 usd for the replica. Hoping they are top notch quality in abs material it seems. Have u worked with them before? ETA 3-4 months for everyone that wants to know.

So your saying I should hold off on sourcing the originals. Any more specific timeline from the inside man? ... We talking a month or two tops? And thanks

I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

And yes would be going to tomei Japan for sure as it’s closer to me …
