  1. Allready in the car and fully tuned, car runs sweet other the the VCT not working. If it gives me some gains down low in the rev range id like to get it working. Free power in a way. Hmm yeah i dont know, tuner just said if the tune is done for the VCT being active, and then it fails, it could cause the engine to knock. I suppose it depends how aggressive the tune is done. Yeah they are fairly expensive ways to do it thats the only problem, for the same money i can pretty much do the cams. Yeah i agree that a ECU that supports VCT would be great but at the time a Power FC was hard to find and i went the Microtech route and im happy with the choice, other then the VCT problem lol. Nah dont have cams yet. There are a lot of people on here that are against cams and i dont understand why? Obviously the power difference isn't going to be huge but for $800 odd dollars for Poncams to gain power throughout the rev range i reckon its worth it. (I know a few cars that have done cams and none of those people regret doing them saying that there was no difference in power in the revs, maybe not top end power but down low definetely). EDIT: Microtech can in fact run the VCT through the aux rpm output as stated above by Adriano, there is an aux rpm on and a aux rpm off function it in so this can be set for the VCT!
  2. Ok i had a look through the Microtech manual and for the Aux RPM output function it says it works by switching a device on at a certain RPM that you program in. However, for the VCT you need the opposite, have it active from say 1000rpm or so, and then you want something to switch it off at say 4500rpm or whatever it goes to. So could this be somehow rigged up to work?
  3. Usually 1-2 days, but who knows, they may be extremely busy at the moment.
  4. U'll be fine, just wait a few more days. The invoice is not included on the packaging when nengun send it and they only write a small value on the box to "stop people stealing items". So customs just usually look at this value and move along, they have a lot more expensive things to look at. However if you are very unlucky customs might ask you to declare an invoice to them, its up too you wether you give them the exact value on the invoice you print out...
  5. Dont forget if you go a greddy plenum factor in a different throttle body or a greddy adaptor plate for the stock throttle body. As said above go a Tomei/Nismo pump and ditch the bosch pump and the fuel pressure regulator. The Tomei/Nismo pump is very easy to install and you can't really mess it up like you can installing a bosch pump. Not saying they are bad pumps, just for the extra bit of money its better to go the Tomei/Nismo.
  6. Really? I didn't know that. So i can set up this auxillary output as an RPM switch to go off the solenoid on the intake cam? Don't suppose you know how to do this? Yeah let me know how you go mate. That's the main thing i want, as much low down power as physically possible, so if i could get the VCT working and get the Poncams in, i'll be a happy man. I'll find out from my mate how much machining of the head will cost me, if it aint too much might aswell clean it up a bit.
  7. All good mate, the more information we can get the better for both of us. Yeah you're right, they may have had VCT enabled because one was running a power FC and the others im not sure about. So annoying that aftermarket shit doesn't support a VCT feature. Hmm so many tough descisions and so much money involved. I just want more midrange power and a lot of people i have talked to all say that with cams the GT-RS comes alive, so i dunno. I was thinking the smaller duration cams (256's) with more lift over factory would give that better midrange power compared to 264's which would move the power curve up a bit. Why did your tuner say not to go with cams? Surely some poncams or equivalent would make more power in the rev range then standard cams?
  8. LOL^ Some people must put a lot of thought into these plates.
  9. Pretty much running a microtech so no VCT, after discussing about running an external VCT controller with my tuner he said it can be done, problem is if the controller fails and the tune is setup for the VCT being active (due to it running different cam setup or whatever it actually does to the cam when active) it can cause damage to the engine with the tune not corresponding to the cam. I'm probably wording that a bit wrong, in my understanding i guess it could start knocking with the tune not being setup for the right cam timing? I've compared my dyno graph with a couple of people that have cams and all of them have a lot more midrange and bottem end power, which is what im mainly after. With the 264 on the exhaust side, what kind of difference would that make compared to a 256 on the exhaust? Talking like real world driving differences.
  10. I can see myself getting arrested with using that lol
  11. Yeah im not getting MYOFB either, maybe im just not hip enough. 8AV82DAY is "Ate a V8 Today", i got that one
  12. Hey guys, Well im going to be doing the cams in my car in the next month or two and have been reading a lot about what to go for. I know a lot of people use the GT-RS turbo for street use so just wanted to get a feal on what people have found to be the best setup. Now im not really going for top end power, mainly to get as much bottem end and torque through out the rev range so bare that in mind. I've narrowed it down to 256 Poncams with 8.5mm lift on the intake and exhaust. This is what my tuner has recommended aswell for the best "street" setup. I'll change the springs to tomei's aswell which are rated at 8.8mm lift. Would 264 degree cams start losing what i want (bottem end power) or would people recommend that over 256's? Most people go 256's because you don't have to change springs, but if i'm going to be changing them maybe the 264's would be the way to go. Is it worthwhile doing any headporting/polish or anything at the same time with this setup or would the gain vs money be pretty much fark all? (I should be able to get headwork done at an ok price so maybe it would be worth it?) I've read its mainly for a bit more extreme setups where you notice good gains though Just wanted some input from a few people on what they have found to work the best with a setup similar to mine to get the most out of this turbo. There's a lot of threads about cams, but usually its with people just wanting to throw the biggest cams that they can get their hands on for big top end which is not what i want. Thanks Phil
  13. Lol well there goes that idea.
  14. Cheers thanks for the reply bud. Yeah im still pretty sure i'll still go the Bilsteins, everyone seems to be very happy with them.
  15. Hmm sounds pretty simple and easy, hell for $30 i might aswell give it a shot, should be funny for a nights worth of entertainment lol. So they are an actual replacement bulb? I thought it was more of a thing you could install on your own bulbs. Anyone got a pic of the kit? Had a look on Jaycars website but can't seem to find it.
  16. Yep sounds about right, driving around town on 98octane, $30 gets you about 19-20litres and just driving off boost with the occasional squirt i normally get about 120-160kms. Out on the highway driving at a constant 100kmh or something fuel economy is obviously very good.
  17. Has any one compared the Super Streets to the Whitline/Bilsteins that Sydneykid sells? As in any one had a drive in both and would like to comment on a comparison?
  18. How easy are these to install? For shits and giggles could they be installed for a little while and then taken out? Also what are they worth?
  19. My mate owned a black 300C with 5% tint with 22s and the plate was MOB CAR, i loved that car
  20. God there is some funny shit in this thread!! I think that was the icing on the cake
  21. That blue 33 is seriously the ugliest skyline i have ever seen in my life, i dare someone to try and find a worst looking skyline, I DARE YOU! The bonnet is hideous, the front gaurds look like ass, the graphics are a joke, i bet $10 it has neons under it, its got no tint with a gay looking interior (probably has down lights), mirrors are crap cheapo ebay specials, ugly tail lights, rear bar with crap vents and last but not least, its a non turbo with 2 GTR badges FFS!!! SAU Challenge Find a worst looking skyline than that blue one Seriously that thing has just pissed me off that some people think shit like that looks good, i know people have different tastes but i reckon if i asked 100 people if they liked that car 99 would say they would rather burn their eyes out then look at it, the other 1 person would be the owner probably touching a little boy in the back seat saying "Hey i like to be different, don't judge me". F***ing hell! *Phil books plane ticket to VIC to beat the shit out of the owner of that car* Ok im done.
  22. Has anyone had anything made by topstage for them in carbon? Are they expensive for custom work?
  23. Dont forget that they dont stock hundreds of each part at their warehouse. When you order it, they check if they have it in stock, if not they place an order through the company they get it through. That company checks if they have it in stock, if they dont you have to wait. If they have it in stock they send it to the guys at Nengun, this could take a while, so you have to wait. They then have to send it out to you from Japan, you have to wait. When the jap post office get it they have to take it through all their crap they have to do, so you have to wait. Then it gets sent and may take a few days, then get cleared through customs and all their paperwork. This can take anywhere from a week to a month or more. Anywhere along the line there can be delays and bad luck with certain items. I have delt with nengun many times and you ALWAYS get your parts, ALWAYS. Some times it just takes a while, but its worth it when your saving big dollars on certain items.
  24. Sorry to bring up an old thread. This "adjustable nos rpm window controller" that you guys are talking about, where the hell do you get it from? Can someone throw me a link or a part number, i had a look on Holley's website for nitrous controllers and it doesn't seem to list it unless it's called something else? http://www.holley.com/types/Nitrous%20Controllers.asp I wanna get the VCT running on my car because the Microtech doesn't run it and it seems like a bit of a waste to not get some free low end power. Is someone actually running one of these on their car? Thanks guys.
