yeah thanks for the input, but as i said, it is for my bf's car, and whether he NEEDS it or not lol, he WANTS it :D , so it makes choosing a christmas present that much easier for me....yay

And as far as him loving me for it...yeah lol, that will be the day. He's never even told me i look pretty :) .

Thanks for the replies guys you have been so helpful. i've ordered the greddy in the silver...so i'll let you know if he likes it or not...i will probably give it to him before christmas so he can have fun installing it.

The shift lights, i dont think he likes the 'pro' with the 3 lights...he reckons that the two warning lights would be useless...anyone have any thoughts? what is the benefit of them?

But i have to say, the pro is my favourite, i reckon it looks pretty cool personally...hmm

then kick him to the curb. then you won't have to waste money buying presents that he doesn't need.

as for turbo timers, if you thrash the car then just pull up, you make think that you are doing good by leaving the timer on, but there is little air going through the radiator, the brakes are sitting in the 1 spot, putting all their heat into the 1 spot. you are best off doing a lap around the block driving normally so that cool air goes through the radiator, and the brakes can cool down.

well with the pro the 3 lights come on in stage as you approach redline. so if redline is say 8000rpm you would have 7700rpm 1st light, 7800rpm 2nd light, 7900rpm all 3 lights. so basically they just give you a little more time to react. but if he doesn't like them just get the M. it's cheaper anyway :D

i completely understand what you are doing. guys, stop trying to disuade her from buying a turbo timer for her boyfriend. he wants one. she wants to buy him a gift. let's leave it at that.

if my girlfriend wanted a hermes hand bag for christmas. I'm not going to suggest a plastic shopping bag will do a better and cheaper job. I'll just buy her the handbag and know that she likes it.

and you should make your boyfriend tell you that you're smoking hot at least once a day. or else forget turbo timer shopping, start man shopping! haha (jokes).

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
