  1. I wish I could take credit for it, I bought the car that way, but I suspect it had this intercooler setup when it landed in the country.
  2. I just need to get the surface smoother and repaint it.
  3. My alteration is this.
  4. I bought an airbox for my R32 Gtst, turned out to be an airbox for a 33, but still sits nice in that spot. So what I did was fibreglass up the intake on the side since the snorkel didn't fit past my cooler piping. Then cut the back of the snorkel and attach it to a hole I cut on the front of the airbox above the filter. This worked really well and during tuning proved to be no restriction as with the top popped off the airbox it made 1kw more. So I have a hole cut into the front, getting the coldest air I can from behind the headlight and stopping as much hot engine air as I can and having a nice enclosed air box. Win.
  5. My car ended up being tuned just in time for this, and I didn't realise it was on, sad face.
  6. That's not a bad idea, I'll have a look into that.
  7. Ok so this was pretty much a bust. They send you a letter confirming that the approval for import of your vehicle on the date it was granted. Due to "privacy" you can't get anything more than that it seems, so it's kinda useless except to aid in registration.
  8. Mate I have a stock RB25 turbo that I took off my RB20, only took it off to put a highflow on, don't know how old it is, it was on the car when I bought it, but it spooled up fast and made pretty good power at 11psi.
  9. I'm quite happy with how do the RB20 high flow
  10. It has the valve on the compressor housing?
  11. It does feel really fast. And to think I got so much advice before I highflowed to get a bigger turbo, but I love the response of this unit. Fun!
  12. There are plenty of cops out and about. On the drive back from my tune there was a big setup at the foot of the F3, luckily going North so I didn't have to worry, well not much anyway. I just want to like owning my car!
  13. Jez couldn't push the motor too hard, it was starting to ping when he advanced the timing, but he'll know more about that than me, so I'm not sure that my motor has that much in it with that turbo, but it hauls arse now so I'm pretty happy It does drive really nicely, and it's nice to have a boost controller that allows me to change it up as well! Feels great, drives awesome!
  14. Was with a 3 inch metal pipe using the silicone pipe that was in it as joiners, but eliminating the flexi curved bit that would suck shut. I was hoping for a little more, but really the smaller turbo is a worthwhile sacrifice for street driving, spools up a lot faster this way I am sure. No Worries
  15. Finished off my tune tonight, I had some brand new OEM Coils and 3 of them cracked causing a misfire, but sorted out with some Splitfires. So my setup. Stock RB20 RB20 Turbo Hypergear Highflow 3" Turbo Back Exhaust Nistune tuned on V-Power 98 Fuel GTR Intercooler 555cc Nismo Injectors Walbro Fuel Pump Splitfire Coil Packs Greddy Profec b Spec II Stock Airbox and KN Panel Filter 201rwkw @ 20psi (High), dropping a bit to 19psi and 174.6rwkw @ 14psi(Low). Did 206 with the cat removed, but the engine started pinging as the timing got advanced, so had to leave it with the 201 tune
  16. Just got back from getting it tuned, when the timing got advanced it started pinging so had to stop at 201rwkw @ 20psi, will be posting in the RB20 thread
  17. Ok so I called the number on the website, they said to email [email protected] and someone will contact you in a day or so. That email address is not on the page so I'd say just email that, we'll see how long this takes.
  18. It might not be impossible, I have a stock RB20 turbo highflowed by Hypergear .... it was on the dyno the other night, we hit a misfire and have to go back today, but it's looking promising ....
  19. Awesome, thanks Duncan.
  20. I can't afford a Ferrari I bought my car in August, it had a straight through exhaust, no muffler. The Varex went straight on. I can count the number of times I've opened it up on one hand. So So Sneaky. If I get pulled over I'll just be polite
  21. How can I obtain the papers for the importation of my car? I think that I am probably the third owner since it's been imported so obviously I don't even know who would have imported it. Where would I start?
  22. I loved the part how a Varex is sneaky .... what a horrible attitude, maybe I just don't feel the need to subject people to the noise of my exhaust when I am going down to the shops!
  23. Sounds like it's gonna be fun getting home tonight
  24. Why not buy a Nistune and the software license if you want to fiddle with the tune yourself? Edit it right on your laptop.
