my grandad has a autech 4 door gtr in new zealand, ill try to get pics of it. and yes he is a revhead.

i would also recommend richo from all star, but it all does depend on which ecu you have and how far you wanna travel. PITS tuned a friends 33 after numerous other workshops stuffed it up.

hey cole if we are you brothers can you please learn to spell your names the right way. its cefiro. thanks dude

ill come, i like steak.

dont worry frank im sure that she"ll be gentle with you..... also im in, if im not working.

just i quick story too prove that backing off doesnt always prove to be the safer way to go about things. recently i was on my home from a family gathering along a fairly long and uncongested road, driving at the speed limit a car comes screaming up behind me and proceedes to tailgate me for about 400m. knowing this road quite well and having just had the ceffy tuned, i would have normally taken off and left the tool far far far behind me, but alas i slowed down and moved into left lane and tried to let him pass. it was as he rounded the corner with me in the other lane that had opened up that he proceeded to cut the corner and force me into a situation of either hitting him or the gutter, i chose the gutter and got a broken lower control arm for the effort, $75 bucks down and a whole lot of swearing and i was over it. but if i had done what i would have normally done i wouldnt have been in that situation.

frank it does count if that somebody was you.........hahahahahaha so when can i drive your gtr

yeah and i might get leveled by a stock rb20 cefiro again HAHAHAHAHA

rb20det 215rwkw @ 1 bar gt2876r & supporting mods

sorry to hear about this man. dan was working on my car when you had the problems and couldnt leave. hope everything gets sorted soon for you.

wagyu with a grading of 10 and its perfect marbling is the best food that i have ever eaten. it melts in your mouth not in your hand. anyways i find it queer talking about food in a forum about cars. and if you find that pic post it up.

if you liked that wagyu, then wait till you get some really good stuff its the shiznit. i had a great time. thanks everyone.

i have a haltech e11v2 on my rb20. i am really happy with it with a gt2876r it made 215rwkw on 1 bar

no i didnt sorry man i wasnt there all day though there was a reault clio sport there and a white 33 with ebola plates

i got my car tuned there yesterday and was very very very impressed. my little old rb20 made 200kw and 450nm (dyno sheet coming) on 15psi.

hey mate if you wanna know how to build a tough rb20 pm dan ( 3lit3_32 ) his rb20 was good for almost 270rwkw (if not more) with a stock head. he has almost finished mine which is almost identical to his but with head work done. he would be more than happy to point you in the right direction

have you got a Cefiro one dude??

hey mate dan from elite has just rebuilt my rb20 and has been able to source everything that is required for a killer build. you could do much worse than emailing him what you are after. i do know that my pistons took awhile to come, but it will be worth it

i agree with frank on this one dan is the man. he goes out of his way to make sure you understand what hes doing ond why. i wouldnt recommend anywhere else.

i always knew you loved my car dan. you just didnt know it yet.

just to add my ceffy to the list 3x32's 1x31 1x33 1x a31 cefiro

dude i was having the same debate that you are having and i have decided to go all out and get dan to redo my engine for me soon. bite the bullet and get it done right the first time. is that why my car was in there for so long hahahahahahaha jokes

my ceffy is from hong kong and has a 200kph speedo in it. it was factory auto non turbo if that helps
