Erik, if you are going to modify stuff [ie airfilter] do the dyno FIRST!

Its better to test as-is.

GTS-t VSPEC: no probs mate. So what measurment is used for the 33? I never had a close look when testing them - too busy keeping it str8 :) [with dealer sitting next to me].

Useless fact #101: The "0" reading on the 34 guage [see pic above] is neither boost nor vacuum - which sits at halfway point between -700 mmhg [vacuum] and +1 kg/cm2 [boost].

Erik you must be hitting the 1/2 mark between 0 and +1, one post you said 3/4 another post u said 1/2 - so which is it?

Just trying to work out if your boost is in the normal range or not!

sorry nismo 1/2 from 0 to 1, 3/4 the whole boost gauge, i think i'm getting a new one. Dang , i put air filter already today with nice sound, cheap one 35 bucks hehee it's nice sound

ok, that is definately in the normal range for a stock 34! Mine used to be like that too :)

Maybe you should organise a dyno run dude, get them to check your CAS [crank angle sensor] timing and listen for detonation while your there. If it doesnt pull around 150+ kilowatts then there may be something wrong. Mine with some minor mods recorded 182kw.

Also what type of fuel do you use? If you put normal unleaded [89-93 ron] or even so-called 'premium' unleaded [93-95 ron] in your car this could cause problems like timing retardation or detonation. You definately need to get the car looked at if its not running like it should ~ which is ~ fast!

I only use BP Ultimate - 98+ octane.

expensive? In Vic its usually cheaper for me than Optimax.

I have heard its made here though so you guys would pay more in transport costs - but at least you can get Ultimate / 98 octane fuel, not everyone can get it Aust wide.

Prices are normally:

Ultimate - maximum of 6.5cpl dearer than unleaded

Optimax - maximum of 8.5cpl dearer than unleaded

Both s/stations are usually the same advertised price so Ultimate is normally around 2cpl cheaper!

Just my 2c worth :P

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
