I have just finished a spending spree on my car today, ending with some discounted products from Supercheap (10-20% off stuff :) ). Heres my list for the month of Jan 15th-Feb15th (I get paid monthly on the 15th).

I am still waiting on the top 4 things from Nengun, ordered 3 weeks ago today :D

-Remote Oil Filter Kit

-Apexi TT + Harness

-Wheel Spacers

-HICAS Lock Bar

-DBA 4000 Rotors

-Ferodo Front Pads, Lucas Rear Pads

-Mobil 1 Engine Oil

-Oil Filter (from Nissan)

-Oil Flush, Radiator Flush, Brake Cleaner, Ultra Cool Radiator Coolant

-Demineralised Water (5L, is that enough for the GTR cooling system?)

TOTAL=$1,344

This month I hope to buy a PFC D-Jetro (+ Harness, Nipples & Sensors) and get the HICAS and TT fitted and the computer tuned.

Good Fry B)

Tom

,4 Feb 2006, 04:17 PM]1.3k thats nothing :P i'm not going to dare add up what i spent this month on my car, it will make me cry :D

hahah, dooo iiiitt! B) **shakes fist

Well, The PFC and tune is gunna cost me about $1600 anyway, so that beats my 1.3k this time around, I might even have to get a PRofec B-Specc II as well coz I have no boost controller at the mo ;) . This is the most I have ever spent on my car in a short period of time though.

ive spent minus amounts on my car this month :P

ive got alot of parts sitting in the shed, new and used, so im trying to sell stuff now that i want to sell the car :D

hell, ive even got brand new custom number plates that i havent even put on the car yet, still sitting at the DPI... should sell those.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
