Again i see an opinion and no imperical data of back to back tests or 2 dyno charts to prove this with all other factors being equal. Do you have any charts to prove the curves do build quicker, more boost at same RPM, more power at same boost? To clarify i dont have any that prove this wrong either. I am an engineer so like to see evidence of what people claim, as i can claim anything i want as long as i dont need to prove it.

Not to start an arguement with you, but please justify what you mean in terms of out perform? Are you meaning straight out power figure? Dyno king Power curve will build sooner? Torque builds faster? Boost to power level, meaning same boost and engine stress? Street driveable to track? I only say this as i dont like statements that simply say 'out perfrom' or 'better' without any imperical evidence as it can mis-lead people into making a choice that might not suit what they are chasing. Similar to people chasing power figures rather than a target of driving experience. This is by no means me suggesting HKS or Hypergear, i say each person is different with different goals in mind, so find your end goal and build to that with price as a secondary option.

i would agree to check this as my mate had an S15 a few years back that sounded similar to this... we changed the exhaust and all went away... was a 4" and changed to a 3" so must have given enough clearence

Sorry if i confused you.... my car come with NISMO clustert from Japan so was set there by NISMO by the previous owner, and i was happy to purchase based on the cert. to prove the ODO was correct

do you have about 10K laying around? if you answer no then you should not bother starting... not meaning to be rude but to do it right you need supporting parts

this is a 'how long is a piece of string' question that causes many arguements... search and you will see. There is too many factors to judge this... example of my car.. stock turbo tuned to run at 13psi.... lasted me 60,000km of pretty hard driving and a couple of track days... then one night doing nothing silly BANG! Yet my bro at 12psi lasted 8,000km in his R34 so will it last... yes how long... no idea will it break my engine if it goes bang... do you like to gamble

My understanding is it is illegal to modify the cars kilometeres, but if you keep the old cluster and make a note of it to the DMV that the odo has changed then it is fine, someone can confirm this for me? I am not sure if a local mech will be able to help, i know my car come in with the NISMO cluster and had certificates from NISMO to approve the odo was reset by them correctly, my car was also allowed to be complied with the cluster based on this cert. and fully registered with it, guy at the pits questioned it but once he saw all the paper work it was rego'd first shot.... this was over 6 years ago now though

To add to that, i myself have come forward as a witness to someone being hit by a car, and i said i would never do it again... i was treated very poorly by the police and the whole process was rediculous... i had to take time off work at my expense, back then i was casual, to make reports, then to go to court for 2 days just in case i was called, to then be asked one question, then recieve 'compensation' of $40 for all the hours i lost from work and uni... so what did i get for helping out, a slap in the face as far as i am concerned, i know it is the right thing to do and help, but when they make you feel like a criminal and it starts to cost you income and stress on how to pay bills it makes you think twice the second time....

Mine is nice and quiet, no re-wiring needed and has 360rwhp with room to move still. on 98 fuel not sure how it would go with E85 or anything

It is not that no one gives a shit about the guy on the road... it is that people are affraid to help in case they find themselves in a court case for touching him... it has happened before in the US. so it is lawyers and court systems that have helped create this issue... and not just the US either guys, it happens here also

If it helps you decide, I have 850cc injectors running 260rwkw and my PFC never goes about 50% duty on injectors.

if you are running stock boost and stock turbo then the gain would be minimal IMO. Also if you plan on mounting it in the factory location i think you might find it worse as the airflow is directed to the stock cooler via shielding etc happy to be corrected but i dont see it being a worth while 'upgrade', the stock cooler is good for 10-12psi for road use, track is different story

agreed.. but think about a bad battery and all the warnings a dash will show... i had a bad battery show the oil light, park brake and light bulb warning... replaced battery and all fixed... as bad battery can show up random things and is a simple thing to check which requires minimal effort... even just leaving the battery on charge over night and check again in the morning... cost nothing to rule it out

before you go looking at all the wiring... have you tried a brand new battery... reason for asking is if it has dropped a cell or 2 then there might not be enough amp's running though... very simple thing to test and rule out before going to the effort of wire hunting... poor battery can lead to a lot of issues people dont consider...

As much as i agree with you everyone is allowed an opinion and facts are only facts based on someone's interpretation(OPINION) of the results. Any person with half a brain can make the same result or fact seem different just by a few words, this would then leed to opinion. 5% unemployment... so this can be said that 95% are employeed... same 'fact' different writting can lead to different opinion. Dont stress yourself in life trying to prove people are wrong, as you might be right but it only comes accross as you being arrogant and a know it all.... not saying you are either of these but not having meet you some people could judge based on the 'facts' on these posts, again fact to someone based on opinion. Have a great christmas and lower the stress

i have used allstar for quite a number of years without issue

Take it back to the person who first complied the car as they have not done their job correctly if you dont have the anchor points, they are a requirment to get rego'd... If then any compliance place should be able to get them for you. Fabcar Autoworx (these guys did mine many years ago)

it sounds like my car was when i got it from Japan years ago. the boost control solinoid was not connected and i found that i actually had an Impul ECU which supported the higher boost level. check where the vacume hose from the waste gate goes, if not to a solinoid then it will be straight to engine like mine was, if this is the case then check the ECU also as if it is a stock ECU you could end up doing damage...

no offense intended here so please dont take any.... drive train loss is not a percentage it is more a total figure... the loss is the rotating mass of the parts from the flywheel to the road, this does not change by a percentage once you increase power, so if you loose 90KW at stock then you will only ever loose close to this when you power up maybe slightly more... so if you add 200kw you dont all of a sudden need 150kw to move the drivetrain if that makes sense. please prove me wrong anyone in the know but this is how i understand physics.

Hi StevenCJR31 - correct me if i am wrong but they are legal as long as they are part of the alarm/emmobiliser and can be shut down upon someone trying to steal/break into the car.. I have this and i passed the pits with it.

Agreed... i had a similar issue in a previous car and found the whole bottom half of the radiator was blocked

i had a wierd issue with my car after changing the turbo so this is a long shot for you... my tuner left the splash gaurd off the bottom of the car after i picked it up and wasn't until the following week i figured out the issue as the fan was blowing the dirt around on the drivway... i then got it put back on and the car ran cooler... just a thought.

I had my car towed from my house to the workshop - i simlpy said it drop coolant and wanted it towed (was actually a blown turbo ) but i did not have the car towed by them first so probably worth a call.

100% agree - tell the guy to file a report against you as he should not have been on the road... he wont dob himself in Hey officer i was driving an un rego car and had a crash can you help.... duh no brainer really...

Just for sh!ts and giggles to stir: the UTE still does so it can carry a tonne unlike the holdens with coil that can't carry a fat chick
