  1. Jeez man, I should be so lucky. I'm wooting all the way down the street (sideways of course) if I get 300 these days.
  2. C U 6E Gunmetal 32 with giant Nismo sticker on the windscreen.
  3. I tell you what... My first tank of fuel with the new ECU has gotten me about 150 k's so far with about a quarter to go. Hmm.
  4. The CES one.
  5. Strawberry and 15 (from S15) are the same word in Japanese so if you put an S15 front on an S14 then you have given it a strawberry face.
  6. They don't fit R32's as they have a 4 stud pattern I believe, but they look great on R33's.
  7. I don't think it's the air escaping it's the change to the emissions that more boost gives you. Like people are saying practically everything that increases your power is illegal but meh.
  8. How is your diff going Dan. Mine is a bit average when very warm.
  9. I guess you could sell your strawberry face to cover some costs.
  10. I don't have the emanage. Advan need to get their story straight. I've been told by one of them there that it will work fine but that you can't use the ignition harness and by another that he "doesn't recommend putting it in there at all." I have a modified standard ecu. So far I would say that I'm a little concerned about the auto's power handling abilities. The flaring that I used to get between 1st and 2nd gear when cold only now seems to need to more warming up to work properly. If I redline it however, it drops timing or something, does a little fart out the back and kicks into 2nd beautifully. I'm going to look into changing my fluid.
  11. Am I blind or did you not put a price in there?
  12. I saw a nice white GTT parked in North Sydney or maybe Millers point or maybe it was Kiribilli today. You know when you take the North Sydney exit going north over the bridge and turn right through the roundabout the back way to Mosman.
  13. I'll have to look out for one next time I'm at Wakefield Park then.
  14. I overtook a couple of them at Eastern Creek the first time I was there. No mods. Compliance tyres.
  15. The auto does lose a bit of power.
  16. I'd go for an RB25 from something a little older for ease of conversion.
  17. There is a metal loop for just this sort of thing underneath your car on the passenger side at the front.
  18. Cost me a grand as an exchange from Powerplay but it's a bit of a one off at the moment. Give them a call in a few weeks or about a month and mention my car (they know it). Hunter - That does seem low. I had 162 with less boost. I have Nismo panel filter, CES split dump/front pipe, 3" cat, Fujitsubo cat back which is fairly quiet and an AVC-R for boost. Just went out for a blat and turned the boost up to 1 bar just to see. Seemed to cope fine although the turbo seemed to be surging a little. I think that's because I don't know how to adjust the boost duty cycle on the AVC-R. If you consistantly run 1 bar something in your turbo will let go so I'd stick to 0.85 if I were you.
  19. Nope I have a modified standard ECU, goes great. I just put a thread in the forced induction performance section about it.
  20. Canberra has to be the easiest place to be towing if you have to do it. Just remember, the car being towed does as much of the braking as possible. If you do it right the lead car doesn't have to brake at all. When the front car takes off remember to take up the slack very slowly at first then take off. Also remember to accelarate smoothly.
  21. Sounds like my one. I would say that you can do zorst and boost without having to retune it but bigger injectors don't think so and turbo not sure.
  22. You got any lap times or quarter mile times that you'd like to publish?
  23. Ahh, that explains why I hate 4th gear. Good thing I don't really need it.
  24. I've just got a modified standard ECU put in my car. I've been umming and ahhing about the Greddy emanage and other things but the opportunity to put this in just came up so I went for it. It's got the limiters taken off it and I dunno what else. Details are a bit sketchy. So far I have noticed that the power delivery is so much smoother than before. I think it's because before the standard ECU was constantly making corrections due to the higher boost. I would say that the seatofthepants-o-meter is registering a 10-15 kw gain which isn't a lot but the new smoothness means that it feels, and should be, faster. When you floor it in 2nd (or any other gear for that matter but I want to keep my license) you are not sitting at peak power the whole time. By getting rid of the tiny little hesitations as the standard ECU corrected and re-corrected it gets to redline faster. I've hit the rev limiter in 1st gear twice now by accident which I normally never do. (bad me) So boost cut is gone, speed cut is gone (yay for the Eastern Creek straight) and it only took about half an hour to learn my driving habits and give the extra power over. Beauty is that the Nissan consult can still be plugged into it and the trannie has no issues whatsoever. I presume I'm going to blow up my diff now.
  25. That's a good point although I guess it applies to SK's theory as well. Mine is tiptronic so different diff ratio and gear ratios. Only 4 gears but seem to work good .
