+11ty for Nistune - best ECU option for the majority of mods out there, but still a great option for turbo upgrades etc. you keep all the factory goodness like cold start, knock sensors etc but have full live tuning functionality as well and most places can tune these too, and they're not that expensive either so in terms of safety features, it's better than a power fc etc... but the tuner would be your best safety feature by far. i'm running a Nistune and E85 or BP98, no dramas at all, great bit of kit

your best bet would be to contact Wolf, see if there is anyone near your area that can tune them. If not, would be a silly idea to put one in. i believe wolf's website has a list of authorised workshops or something like that.

looks mint! nice find! yeah, it's not like manual conversions haven't been done before... enjoy

if you want it detailed by the best, take it to Final Inspection - www.finalinspection.com.au you might find the cannon gets..... annoying and if you're worried about cops you might find a cannon is like dialing 000, they might not come straight away, but they'll get to your car eventually. nice set of rims, lower it a touch and just keep it looking clean and tidy

best thing is just to check in with a reputable workshop asap - patto i assume is patterson river, so take your pick of say Chasers east, RE Customs etc.... I'd def go to Status but they won't be back until 30th August, and i take it you'd probably want it sorted by then. and IF you do need coilpacks, DON'T muck around with the other brands - just get splitfires.

pay extra for splitfires, don't much around with the other brands.

whilst it's a very good idea to check the timing, there probably isn't any harm in changing the stock coilpacks anyway. Yes some peoples last, but you'll probably need them sooner or later anyway.

oh i thought you'd change the coilpacks already.... the #1 place to check first is coilpacks. Get splitfires if you need to change them. Does the car sound audible different when you hit the flat spot? any engine check lights come on?

the flat spot is common. Nistune is your best bet if you can find a Z32 ecu, they're right in saying you can 'tune' out the flat spot without much dramas try splitfire coilpacks if you haven't already.

your airflow metre remapped????

if you're looking for a little fun every now and then, just go to SAU's deca days. Not that hard on the car really (you can make it as easy on the car as you like if you really want), and only $70 i think? Not that long a drive out to Shepparton, full day of having fun. That would probably satiate the track thirst. In the mountains there are some great roads, i don't know about west, but there are some great roads there as well, some of the SAU vic cruises go out that way. You don't have to be stupid or break speed limits etc, just have a bit of fun with some spirited driving in some windy roads. Great ocean rd has some very nice stretches as well. So there are places you can take the car for a nice drive, but SAU Vic also offers some cheap track fun if you want as well. If you're finding the price difference between the two aren't great, maybe just get the turbo, and then you can do whatever you want. Not to say you can't take the NA out, i guess you'd just have a bit more fun in the turbo

just for clarification, you can't actually BUY the CFRP Nismo Z-Tune guards. They were for the real Z-Tunes only. The Nismo ones available are fibgreglass.

don't see why maintenance will be anymore between the two. Insurance i would guess is more expensive, but insurance costs are a highly individual thing. Maintenance is still just good oil, fairly often. More important with a turbo car, but the same costs pretty much. All other maintenance like suspension, brakes etc, is still all the same. Maybe with a slight price increase for pads/discs, as i'd imagine they're slightly bigger on the turbo car. Negligible differences really. but if you're not going to track it, or take it through some twisties on the weekend, etc etc then do you really need the turbo? Is it just a nice car to cruise around in? Are you planning on doing lots of kms in it? If it's more an a-b car, with a lot of kms there is fuel economy to take into account between the two. So figure out what you want the car for, and i'm sure you'll be able to decide easier.

2 doors are better than 4 but yeah, from the outside, a cop would not know 99.9% of the time. kit, rims, ride-height, exhaust noise, tint can be cop magnets regardless of turbo/NA - so it comes down ultimately to what you do with the car. prioritise what you need/want the car for, and i'm sure the decision will be self-evident

yes, you can 'blot' dry to a certain extent, which is something i generally do if i don't dry with water. And after blotting, you usually don't have to do too much to dry the car, certainly less wipes of the panels.

me = me if you have rain tanks at home, or live in an area with not so strict water restrictions... get a big bottle of water or a hose with just a normal trigger, and put it on the 'stream' setting. Basically the idea is dry your car with water. If your paint is in good condition, this will be possible. And when you come to actually drying the remainder with the MF, you'll barely have to do anything. Limit the amount of paint contact as much as possible. It's not my fault that the FI products generally speaking are the best in class. Just the way it is.

large towel????????? dear jeebus, please no! Final Inspection Waffle Weave MF, best drying cloth you'll ever use. Chamois will scratch, relegate to glass perhaps

no worries mate Offers are welcome guys

Batisti over Gloss........ just saying...

one of THE best ANYWHERE in oz - this would be the 'money is no consideration' option, which seems you have as they've said you can take it anywhere. +1 DT panels

around 240rwkw we found was the limit with my standard Rb25 AFM - changed to Z32, no issues - stock AFM should be fine at those levels.

hey hey! having fun? caught up with Athid yet? more details on the 445rwkw car!!! +11ty!

Splitfires are the only way to go mate and NGK coppers, heat range 7 i believe, gap .8mm

full set out of my GT-T available as well
