Hooning is like swine flu... it's spreading to the young and the old.

Got a pic?

Using that logic I could probably spend 170k on the clubman track car and beat that 34 nur with 170k worth of mods which beat that 35 gtr and so on... still doesn't prove anything.

hey that's looking sweet I like the panda theme. Got a pic of it installed?

Sent you a pm re: exposure for this protest scott.

Yeah the reverse lights are pretty expenso... but then again people pay $1200 for nismo tails, $140 for the centre... can't just leave the reverse as filament bulbs can we?

Found them on Yahoo Auctions :S

If you want something really nice check these out.

Not as nice, but mine cost me $20

I reckon they look tops.. good work mate

Okay I couldn't stand more than 20 seconds of that shit... all i hear is mf this mf that. lammmeee.

Sounds good mate.. hey how come you're stripping everything off your car?

rofl I agree, still needs dragon.

Heck yes i'm interested.. Pics!

Have it decoded by a decent locksmith, and get them to cut a new one to code. The blanks are definately available everywhere.

OMG, nismo led's as well.. MattD dude you're rolling !

As do I... pm if you're keen.

Thanks for that explanation mad082 .. makes sense.

It's the nismo muffler i'm sure of it. I had the same one, and when you hit that switch it will turn a small motor on the passenger side inside your rear guard that will operate the flap on the rear muffler.

No RB26DETT.. just painted covers You wouldn't have a dyno sheet, or anything else that would show your boost would you? I wouldn't mind having a look at it. Should only have to swap coil packs if you're having spark problems ... having said that I already had splitfires in mine, so i'm not sure how touchy factory 34 coilpacks are.

Damn.. i would totally grab that if I had the cash. That is rare as.

Yes, point taken... your logic sounds right. Edit : Just doing some research (yes i'm bored) about this topic.. and people are saying it's not unusual for a horizontal flow design intercooler to reduce total overall pressure throughout spoolup and once spooled. It's usually 1 or 2psi and usually for such a small amount it's not all that noticable and can be compensated with an MBC. Which sort of reflects what my tuner was telling me. I'll see if i can find any more articles off autospeed or howstuffworks when I get a chance.

I went from a Nismo exhaust on my 34GTT.. to the Trust PE II with the BatMBL split-dump pipe + 3" cat... you can see the video of the install here : And it felt a hell of alot better.. although I think that was mainly due to the split-dump pipe. I'd highly recommend doing the dump and the cat in conjunction with this exhaust.

^^ what Gary said.. take off the bumper, check the clamps, etc. Although I still think it's because of the additional plumbing that you're dropping boost. This is my setup.. I would've been surprised if it didn't drop boost.

I've got identical mods to my car, Trust PEII, Pod Filter, and Apexi FMIC... also a Nistune ECU. I lost about 9rwkw on the dyno after the FMIC install, which my tuner says is because boost had dropped after installation of the additional pipework for the FMIC. Basically it's begging for more boost now. The solution was to get a boost controller or in my case a HKS adjustable actuator... the HKS actuator works an absolute treat by the way. It's now sitting pretty on 11.94psi, and feels 100% better.
