all i have to say is nothing is a bolt on kit. It took most of the afternoon - we had to run around for food/misc duties. Performance? I wouldnt have a clue, you would have to ask will that but i recall him saying is that it doesnt make a difference which i then replied its just a safety modification.

btw do you remember the name of the filler that you were going to recommend for me to use on the car - its all sanded back now. Just need to fill some dents and its ready for primer. yipee

btw will is definately serious bout upping the performance on his car sam. When i was there i discovered his pfc, fmic - which we installed and oil cooler. Didnt see any aftermarket turbs though. His getting a tune tomorrow morning supposively @ boost worx.

yeah FMICs don't improve performance - if anything they degrade performance slightly, as they make cars a little more laggy (due to the car having to pressurise a larger volume before making boost). But, they are vital if you want to up boost, and they lower the intake charge temperature to help prevent pinging.

sam, do u want a cai box for your 33? Im going to get will's cai box - the one he bought of max, and fabricate it for 33's and 32's. I inspected it when we had to remove the air filter and its looks quite easy to do as long as i can get the materials. So are you keen?

this is the exact cai box will has. I dont know if it does any good would it wouldnt hurt having one. Andrew, would you be keen for one too for the 34? =D If so i would need your car or at least access to its engine bay. =D =D

ive got a home-made heat-shield atm, i would like a full cai box, but money is a bit scarce atm (pooling all of it towards re-build), so maybe later on

hopefully he's going to sell the oil cooler to me. Nah, the pfc isnt hooked up yet. He got george at gt autosound to install it today along with a fuel pump apparently, we were there yesterday to get a hole cut in the engine bay for the fmic and he was talking bout his appointment. Although, I dont know why he's getting/got the pfc installed though because 1/its plug and play which means its basically not hand to install even my sister can do it 2/ it would more than likely be running in limp mode until it can be tuned properly which he's getting done tomorrow at bw.

    • I've seen these as well https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/395822887806?chn=ps&_ul=AU&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOooak9PFJJwwNDusr8TrZ5lsminTjComhJr-Z4dJ52Tt35T1hBPl0wk&gQT=1 but always seemed a bit dodgy lol
    • Yeah same with the GTR but in practice that is pretty easy because the car is so high, and the stands only go from sill end to sill end so you don't need to wriggle far
    • The other thing for me would be needing to go the long way (ie, front or back) to get to the middle of the car 🤣 I need to do the transfer case fluid in the E70 which is right in the middle, it's quite the commute from the front or back.
    • yeah this video from about 6:10 shows the process, it is easy but not quick.  I'll weigh the frames when I get a chance, they are not impossible, but not easy. I don't want to seem negative, I am happy to have it and use it often.....its just that it isn't a magical solution to making cars hover.
    • All up I'd guess it is 2-3x slower than jack+stands (when you already know where you are planning to place the stands) because the frames are heavy/hard to move and line up, and you still have to connect the hydraulic lines, start raising it, check adjustment etc. But in practice that is minor, we are talking 2min vs 5min, and being nice and high and very stable definitely makes jobs underneath easier
