Looks awesome, Ian!

Funny thing, look at where Andy has quoted your message, and the angle you've taken your photo at is the same as Andy's, and it looks like Andy's stripped off the wheel arch flares and taken another shot of his own car!

i rekon andy! wanna sell me your suspension?? :)

Give Ben a call at North Shore Prestige. He ma be able to get you a set for your model. There are still sets on Monster Imports.

I love the Beard! Fits the sleeper look so much better.

Cheers

Andy

lol actually nick youre right it does look like that!!

i was VERY close to buying an ARX with body coloured flares. but it was a little out of my price range.

ill speak to ben after new year, i spent all my cash on wheels and tyres for this year

Ben cannot get the Bilstein suspension for the RS/RX anymore!

His supplier has said that production on that suspension kit has ceased!!! :)

Try Import Monster. I have seen a few still on there.

Otherwise, it looks like we will have to grab the Nismo kit (if it is still available).

ohh what??

hmm nismo..... tasty. me likey nismoey.

i wonder what the price difference is?

When I was looking in October, the Nismo S-tune kit was anywhere from $200-$500 cheaper than getting the Bilstein.

Not adjustable though.

My mate has it on his Stag. VERY nice ride

* thinks about driveway incline * :(:/

i dont care about adjustability. once set, id have no reason to change it. nismo do a lot of work with their suspension, im sure it would be fine.

It is a very nice ride. Comfortable with stuff-all roll.

My only concern is when the Nismo kit starts to get tired and need replacing.

By that time, they will probably have ceased manufacture... (100,000kms is about 28 months for me :( )

yeah i see your point!

maybe ill need to buy 2 sets :(

Mate, you are far too kind! :)

Your generosity in beyond measure!! :bunny:

* (falsely) assumes one to be purchased for me * :/

Yeah, think you could make it up in your S2?

Bastard thing is if I have 2 other people in the car, they have GTFO before I go up my drive!

Very annoying!

    • 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.
