it's a fair point imo. There is a photography thread for photography tips/feedback...

CUTTING-edge crooks with $30 devices sold online are making short work of the modern standard in car security, helping drive a "diabolical" spike in vehicle heists in Queensland. Thieves are using hand-held computers to thwart immobilisers in cars previously considered "unstealable", as vehicle theft numbers leapt more than a quarter in the year to March. Full article here Considering crooks can allegedly buy this item for $30 is a tad worrying. I guess this makes it even more important to follow the common sense rules to keep your car safe... Chris Rogers care to comment?

found a reasonably priced profec to nab. How does it help with the boost, and what advantage over stock...

That's all I wanted to know! I am pretty damn keen to get this done, any recommendations for boost controllers? I will be more than happy with 200kw at wheels, as I'm guessing it would be around the 160 atm, so should be a nice difference without any flat spots

hmmm think I might just go for a boost tee and separate boost gauge, hopefully should be a cheaper and hassle free option. Any idea how 10psi boost will affect the life of the stock turbo?

I'm glad I posted because I am getting slightly excited I just have to decide if I should by the EBC5 I guess. For a simple application like this is it a waste? The only thing I thought would be a pro with it is a more accurate boost gauge? I've read the stock one is pretty dodge

haha, so I am thinking I should just up the boost and do it!! planning to go to EFI in brissy btw. Car has a tad over 80k on the clock with 100k service done. I get the feeling the clutch is not 100% already as it only bites in rather late on the pedal, although I have read that this is typical with 34's? It has never shown any sign of slipping while under load so I dunno. Do I need a boost controller to adjust the boost? I can get an EVC5 for around $300 but I do take the point of maybe putting this money into a clutch and maybe just getting a boost tee? Thanks for everyones comments.

Hi everyone, I am getting a nistune and tune for my 34GTT and I was hoping for a bit of advice. The car currently has the usual mods - FMIC, Turbo back exhaust, pod, coilovers. I have read a lot about the nistune which lead to the decision to get one, however I am in two minds about upping the boost. Originally I figured I would get the car tuned and up the boost to around 10psi, but lately I have been wondering if this will be worth it in the long run.The car has ~80thousand k's (100k service done) on it so upping the boost may cause things like clutches and other work parts to fail, and it will have that label as "a boosted/thrashed car". I have read that 10PSI is safe boost on stock parts... So my questions are, is there any point getting the car tuned running stockish boost (and getting the most out of my mods) or should I be running 10psi at least for decent results? I am looking at buying a HKS EVC5 fairly cheap, would this be overkill? Cheers!

So what happened exactly, Ash? Where do you park the car?

I already have a bottle and have used it. I find you need quite a lot of work to get good results with it. What is everyone using to seal?

So what exactly is this CRC product, is it a lot better than Maguires plastx?

sealed it with what?! Have tried a coat of clear and it only lasted a couple of months

Got one of these on my car, there are pics earlier in the thread. Fitment is quite good, think I only had to slightly drill out one of the holes

What to seal it with?

Have a brand new pair of these in black and white for sale. Received them as a gift from an auntie overseas and are too big (size US12). Nice basketball kicks, will be buying the same pair in smaller size. Will take $85 + postage. Can post pics for those interested.

Keen to close early!

If a closer deadline is imposed it will probs get floundering people to get on board quicker anyway. Noone answered my question about advertising gb threads on the parts thread....

to suit R32 i'm assuming?

directed some bloke wanting 33 gear to the thread. Considering manufacturing and postage time with the last lot I would prefer we get it rolling sooner rather than later

I'll try to organise some pics rpf1's do look good on 34's but there was a stage there nearly every 34 around was running them.

Hey buddy there is a group buy going for carbon fiber parts such as weathershields. Check out the gb thread.

Lookin good! Don't usually like spoiler-less 34's with the stock kit but the styling makes it work

will carbon pod box fit over FMIC piping?

Yep, in for pods too
