Yeah there isnt that many places to really open the car up in the hills (best left for the track anyway!!)

Are you buying privately, or through an importer?

Other Mods:

Apexi GT Spec FMIC

Apexi Turbo (380hp)

Apexi PowerFC

Apexi Boost Control Solenoid

Apexi N1 Coil-overs

3" Exhaust (Turbo Back)

High flow Cat

Bigger injectors (550cc or 700cc, not sure)

Aftermarket Fuel Pump

Standard Coils (For now...)

etc.. etc.. etc..

Through an importer mate.. Here in SA. Keep missing out on 33's now.. after initally wanting a Type X 180sx.

Oh well keep bidding and ill find one i guess.. Pretty much everything on your mod list i want.. bar the n1 coils.. i think ill go TEINS, maybe SARD 550ci injectors and hybrid FMIC/GTR even.

Sweet.. Well you'd probably have more luck finding a 33 than a 180sx. There is millions around now... Have you thought about buying through a Melb or Syd importer and shipping the car to you? You may save a bit of money, and they would also have more eyes at the auctions to find the car thats right for you.. Just a thought.

Cheers bud.

Im loyal to my importer as he is a friend of a friend..

Im really not that fussed about the $$ So long as i pick up an extremely clean example.

Trouble with type x's are they r rare as because they only came out 96-98 with the kits.

Still sellin for a dime in japan!

Wow - under 10:1 AFR..

Did you notice black smoke coming out the back or any black marks on the rear bumper?

Well guess what. I had my car at the tuner shop for 3 f**king hours. He charged me $300 (plus the other 2 1 hour tunes he "performed" recently before that)

and the f**kwit came up with this result.

NOw the car has a GT30, 500cc Injectors, powerfc and datalogit, exhaust and fmic, etc etc. Should be making 260rwkw.

See the dip in that torque curve? Hooking up my mates AFR revealed that it was running at 9:1 at that point.

And this tuner is supposed to be good? My f**ken ass.

tune it yourself. it cant be that hard. sydneykid has explained it before so do a search on his username for "dyno" or something and you should find it, was about 9 months ago. or road trip to melb and get it sorted :)

eww... that bites man! tell him to give your money back and go elsewhere. I know you might not have too much choice in your area, but screw getting charged that much for a shitty tune :)

dude, his af's are near perfect. around 11.8:1, probably just on the safe side of things, which is what you want. i would be extremely happy with a tune, power curve, price of tune like that on my car.
