Post a pic of the engine bay . Interested to see it.

Lower profile tyres will compestate for the larger rim as said above. No need to calibrate anything. IT will go out by a very small percentage tho, maybe 0.5kmh. Nothing to worry about at all. Tho from stock, the factory makes the speedometer read faster then ur actually going. Ive tested with my apexi rsm. At 100kmh you are actually going 97kmh. At 110kmh you are only going 104kmh. Something to do with safety...

hi jacking?

Its not taken yet. but now is! Cheers for that Nathan Ill let Brad know =)

If anyone is willing to swap from afternoon to morning let me know. Seul_avec who is currently signed in for morning would rather go afternoon...

Pm sent!! my 2nd ahg event! bring it on!

at least there is no 40kmh school zones WGMG.. People who dont park properly. PARK in the CENTRE of the lot please. NOT ON THE WHITE LINE and if u can see i have taken the time to PARK nicely. PLEASE PARK NICELY NEXT TO ME, NOT 5CMS AWAY FROM MY CAR, EVEN THO THERE IS PLENTY OF OTHER SPACE AROUND. i swear to god, i will put a knife in ur tyre.

im running hks coilovers, and get in and around cbp fine. although i dont have my coilovers at a extreme low. just take it slow up the ramps and it gets over them fine.

some how i think its unreasonable for 300 dollars for "fine tuning" and installing. Installing is only a few wires, and if u know what u doing wont take 45mins. Profec b is a pretty simple boost controller as well. and what i meant strich9 is that the level of tuning of EBC is nothing compared to the SAFC. and should not cost the same as a SAFC (1,2 or neo) to "fine tune"

i think someone is pulling ur leg here. EBC dont need tuning like safc's. wire them both in, send it down for a tune. EBC only needs to be set at a boost lvl. hardly tuning.. i suggest maybe a different work shop.

i meant that u heard it And i wouldnt b surpirsed either, the JJR stealth intercooler was shocking. Hardly a direct bolt on. I'll b ordering in the exhaust system very soon... then clutch/flywheel and fuel pump. and finally tune and more Boost!!

Yeah i saw that one, but a few members like bubba have mentioned that they arent so good. Ive also had bad experience with a JJR intercooler, which need a lot of modifications to fit onto the r33. Lucky i had a welder and other tools etc to modify the intercooler, otherwise i would of been up a creek with no paddle. So i learnt my lesson in that one.. pay a bit extra for a branded product, that will just bolt up with no modification. But thanks for the heads up on that one. Appreciate it alot.

These are the ones im thinking about getting... Are they the correct ones? http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=275&page=1 http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=252&page=5 These will bolt straight up into my hks hi power cat back right? After i install these, my exhust system will b complete?

so how is a xforce bell mouth front.dump pipe and a xforce metal cat ? If you guys think its good, ill order it in.

call dibs on the side skirts and pods! THats if you decided to strip the car and sell it off in parts!

Alright, looks like ill be heading down that track then. Poor safc 2 can sit on my table for a bit more longer. haha. Ive decided on a bellmouth one piece front/dump and a hi flow cat but unsure between cermaic or metal. I know cermaic is cheaper,, and apparently easily gets blocked? So maybe its worth the extra dollars to go the metal cat? Ill probably got Xforce on both. Sounds good?

black sun imports ... go for them mike well look after u for sure. If i was to ever import a car again, 100% i would go with them without a doubt. From what i hear, he doesnt aim to make alot of moeny + low overheads, so he is cheaper then most other places plus having a importer u can trust.. is "priceless" ** for everything else, there is master card** **ok that was lame..**

Hm Ok. So say if i did exhaust, then clutch and fuel pump. THen finally tune with safc 2 and with boost controller (yet to be deicded) Is it alright for my car to be running FMIC and Full 3 inch exhaust with out being tuned? for im assuming 3 - 4 weeks while i get more money together for the tune?

Thanks for you concern 2ltrv8 But i only plan to boost it to 0.7 bar... not much at all i know. But i think that way the clutch wont die so fast on me until i can replace it with some more heavier. Then after that i will turn up the boost a bit more. Im just very confused with the dump/front pipe.. there are so many styles to choose from i really dont know what to pick. I guess more research for me..~

My handling is good at the moment. I got sturt braces and HKS coilovers installed, that coupled with nice quality wide tyres has got my skyline to an acceptable handling mark for the moment. Braking wise is still pretty stock, running some good quality bendix pads tho. So far thats the only upgrade their. Power wise, im looking for a bit more "umph" on take off. when i first got the skyline it pushed me back into the chair, now after about 8 months driving, ive seem to have gotten use to it. And after spending big bucks on handling and just general maintaince (ive changed all fluids and i mean all! since i got the car and have changed radiator etc etc and im reguarly generally maintaining it (new sparkies o2 sensors etc)), its time to put a bit of money aside for power. Hope this helps in giving me some more advice...

thanks for the advice so far guys I already got hks pod and FMIC (installed couple of months ago in pepretation for boost increase) and 3 inch cat back, spark plugs were also change about 3 weeks ago to irridium ones, so looks like ill finsh up the exhaust so its 3 inch all the way first before the tune can anyone let me know exactly what i need/brand is best?.. As for the boost controller i am more leaning towards E01 .. anyone got any experience with it? As for fuel pump, which one is best ? i am probably looking at 200kwish after the full exhaust and tune right? So any advice on fuel pump?

haha, if i did that, it would never get tuned! haha.. THats why i need to work out when i should tune it, im pretty sure i should at least get the full exhaust done? Since safc is "super air flow controller" ?

Hey Guys, So ive finally gotten around after been sidetracked with other modifications to my car, to finally start to increase the power. Ive just gotten my hands on a SAFC 2 and was now wondering what type of boost controller to use? Ive been thinking either pro spec 2, AVC R, E-O1 or EVC 5... ? What do you guys think? Also in regards to tuning, i know their is a conslidated workshop, but any personal experience when it comes to getting a r33 tuned? Im SOR, i dont mind travelling NOR to get it tuned.. How long does this normally take? And one more thing, atm i am only running a HKS Hi power Silent cat back system.. is it reccomended that i change this to a full turbo back before i tune it? If so, what parts do i need? Hi flow cat, dump pipe? Front pipe? What brands are good for this (Was going to go xforce, but heard it was no good)? I want to keep it quiet as i like to b a low profile. I am also going to change my clutch in the near future (Holidays coming up, so bulk working to get cash!! ) Should this also be done before tune?? Or does it not affect it? Cheers for your help guys.

!! Sorry to hear this! If u got hit would of been another skyline out of 5 or 6 in this past 2 months! I'll ask around in regards to the wheel for you =)

When my car got checked by my a friend at xspeed, i ask him the same thing, as i know the car engine will run cooler without it, but he mention what karl said in regards to the paint. So left mine on..
