increased fuel consumption, also using a 1GZE SC is like using a stock trubocharger off a GTSt. Unless u go for a $6000 vortech/eaton centrifugal supercharger (which is like puttin a T88 on ya GTSt) you'll never get optimal results out of a supercharger.

The reason Nissan never came out with em is that in small capacity cars (3.0L and under) its not completely efficient.

if u do consider supercharge

the car will be be more like a 4.0L aussie six

plenty of torque and power, but power wont peak that high in the rev range as our cars currently do.

u can get SC that can rev and stay someone efficient at the higher revs, but it also cost money

not necessarily, those are the oldschool superchargers that work better at higher revs.

If you look at the boost charts, the turbo charger has an exponential boost (very low boost for initial phase and very high boost after the sweet spot). A supercharger however is belt driven, ie constant. It has a linear looking chart, therefore you'd have better midrange boost than a turbo, and much better pickup at the lower end. You do however have to tune it so you don't overboost at higher revs.

eg: say hypothetically your max boost is 14psi

REVS.-> 0 . 1000 ..2000 . 3000 . 4000 . 5000 . 6000 . 7000

SC.....-> 0 ... 1 ...... 4 ...... 6 ...... 8 ..... 10 .... 12 .... 14

TURB.-> 0 ... 0.5 .... 1 ...... 2 ...... 4 ...... 8 ..... 11 .... 14

however true linearity is only achieved by centrifugal superchargers (I think, not sure) and thems the more expensive ones.

Oh and as for the q about the ECU having to be modded... NFI, I gave up and decided to go for a GTR b4 I could investigate it.

there are companies which specialise in superchargers. go through your yellow pages and find one and given them a call and have a chat about your options. i'm sure they will let you know all that you have to do.

SC can't be too bad of an idea if mercedes chooses them over turbo's. also many american professional drag cars use superchargers because of their low-down torque and power.

would be great to see a SC skyline zoom past any gtst and do well against a gtr!

u gotta spend sum serious cash for that. The company I wastaling to was adelaide based, and they specialised in supercharging civics and the like, so I gave em a buzz... think they were working on a supra at the time, either doin a super/turbo twinny or a straight super, sumfin liek that, they were the ones that gave me quotes for manifold fabrication n stuff.

I got their email at home, I'll post it when i get back from work

    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.
