here are mine seal the whole underside of the coil, up to the bracket. leave the stem uncoated, as you need to fit the rubber boot over that. also make sure you clean those contacts. u can see mine are shiny gold. they were a dull grey when i started.

it's used to seal glass on oven doors, and also used as an industrial electrical insulator. not sure of an equivalent product, but there would be something. here's the selleys 401. it's the only pic i could find

no that wont work. that's more like a lubricant. get the 401. it's only $10.

Selleys 401 is the one i used. Its industrial grade high temp silicone, used as an insulator, amongst other things. You can get it at bunnings. It's probably just as important to clean the contacts on your coils, where the spring sits. The last thing i tried was stretching each spring about 8mm longer, to make a better connection with the spark plug. I havent had a misfire since, but then the weather hasnt been freezing cold, so it may be due to that.

the factory gauge is also slow to react, so you see it go up and down kinda after the fact. theyre also not all that consistent. i found mine has occasionally shown really low oil pressure, which of course is very concerning. i pull over, switch the car off and back on and the pressure shows fine again.

speaking of which...how likely is it that your pod would suck in water if you've got a cold air intake pipe running up to the hole where the factory 'cold' cooler pipe would usually be? after driving in some heavy rain lately, i had a look and found a small amount of water pooled up in that area. i didnt think it would actually get sucked up into the pod, its a good few inches away.

lol to that ^

ive got an idea. someone post images that are 1680 x 1050, coz i need some cool new wallpaper.

I've got no idea what silver i used. it was just some random combination of RGBs. but i'm glad it helped you out

why is there tinsel on your roof? lol. here's my 5 minutes worth

nice dish too i saw a set of similar wheels on a yellow soarer, 19's. they looked great.

repost....but bahahahahahahahaha, that cracks me up

lol, yeah i'm not regretting it. the only thing i regret is now it's got me looking at upgrading the turbo

oh man. i'm not angry. that'd be cyber-weird. i just dont want to pollute this thread with crap....and you might've noticed, i dont like excessive negativity for the sake of demeaning ppl, or their opinions. so we'll agree to move on, yeah? done edit: seriously, this will be the last 'GTST is hard to like' post of the thread. keep it on track.

are you gonna keep talking shit? like you do constantly? or you gonna accept that you need to STFU and GTFO (yes acronyms describe my feelings best right now)

dude, i'm not here to discuss GTST. his input was appreciated, his demeaning manner wasnt. i asked uras to look in and give me his opinion, coz i know he knows his stuff. and what uras said was exactly what i worked out yesterday, the tune will bring things back into line, but dont expect power gains. edit: another important thing to note. the guys at the dyno told me that many times, after a fmic install, some cars wont run right until they are re-tuned. so if you're experiencing this, you might want to consider it. my mechanic told me he's done a few installs that resulted in cars running crap till the tune too.

here we go. firstly, ppl's opinions are often helpful, including those that oppose my own. but yours are ridiculously negative ALL THE TIME. you may think i have a problem with facts you stated. but i dont. it's the way you go about it. anyway, lets not turn this into a bitch fest. just dont post in my threads, and thanks for your input thus far. i seriously dont care enough to go on about this sh1t. cheers for the rest, i'm happy with the cooler, as said earlier, safety margin if your gonna push your setup is kinda important. i know others agree with is. and we all know theres no power gain from an intercooler. so theres no real shock there. also a nice meaty break of traction in 2nd yesterday (on 18/265's) was better than i'd had previous to the cooler, so i dont see how it was a step backwards at all. the figures (for what it's worth) 211kw 3 months ago, 207.7kw yesterday. which is actually more like a 3kw difference. and runs 3 months apart will rarely get you the same figure, especially when theyre in different seasons of the year. ba ba ba GTST, dont reply. theres other threads out there that need your attention

GTST, you are the most cynical, negative, depressing and demeaning kunt i have come accross on these forums. Luckily i havent encountered many of your posts before, but those i have all seem to be along the same vein. Dont post in my threads anymore. you make people wanna kill themselves. and fyi, they didnt tell me to go back and spend 250. they said if i still wanted to, that the tuner would be able to tell me more, as it was me that was insisting, not them. and i WILL be taking my car back. coz i know if the tuner decides theres room for improvement, there will be results. and if not, then theres nothing lost, except a precious hour of my time, spent at a dyno, getting some power runs in for free. The car goes noticeably harder up top, therefore there was no real 4kw loss (which is a fuccken joke to even be discussing, and is the kind of thing bitches get hung up on).

well guess what? it wasnt different at all. the afr's and boost levels (unichip ebc unit) were identical in the 34smic run 3 months ago, and today's fmic runs. the guys put the car on the dyno, and did a couple of power runs to get a baseline. the tuner wasnt there at the time (but had a very good reason ) anyway, results were the same. power was down 4kw, but then they warned me everyone's cars had been down 5 - 10 kw lately coz of the weather. the tuner called in to say he wouldnt be back for ages, so they DIDNT charge me for the power runs (coz they're not trying to get rich off me by recommending fmic's and tunes, contrary to some specualtion earlier... cough* GTST ) they recommended i go back when he was there and get him to see if there would be any benefit from some timing and boost adjustments, if i really wanted it re-tuned. but advised me that the tune was still well within safe limits, and i may procceed to go do donuts if i wish. lol. which of course i do not wish. i had a chat with the power run dude, and he assured me the fmic is not wasted as it provides a decent safety margin against detonation when running higher boost. and although 12psi on a stocker is at the lower end of that bracket, it's still warranted. also, sitting around in there for an hour or so makes me want a new turbo. why does that happen?? some kind of subliminal marketing ploy? so if someone's selling a used gt-rs.... ahh forget it aaaaaaaaaaaand one more thing. the night i finished installing the cooler, i felt no mid/low range lull at all. so maybe the humidity/heat is actually playing a part in that? anyway, i'll advise of any further developments if they arise.

lol yes maam, i will do my best.

cheers trent. the fmic is a tube and fin, just jap type2. and as far as top end power figures, i'm not too hung up on those. i just want the best driveability. i know what u mean about bringing it back up to the power it had before the fmic, coz i think midrange has suffered a bit, bit it feels as though top end has increased. I think i will take it for a tune today. i'll let you guys know how it goes.

already running 11-12psi stock pump is doing its job fine.

ok there's no extra lag from the new cooler. but i assumed GTST was saying that after the tune i'd have less throttle response.

why would i get less throttle response? thats stupid

no more than $250, hopefully less. its not peanuts, but its about half of what other places charge to tune a unichip. he always starts from scratch with the timing, boost, afr's. usually about 10 runs. thats the thing, i dont see any more mods coming after this, at least for a while. but then i always say that lol. i mean with the exhaust, the car would have sucked to drive without a tune, so theres no way i would have left it. and even my mechanic (unrelated) said that i'll definately need a tune after the fmic. plus, how am i gonna drive around for months wondering if the car is running at it's best
