All the poor dude that posted it wanted was opinions on the offer he was given in open mind.

I think its reasonable mate but there at alternatives to do it cheaper

Jesus , is this thread still going?? !!

I totally agree there are ways to do it cheaper but Lance asked for an emailed quote which I gave.

Of course on a 20K there is margins but why would I give that away to a person I have never seen or met before.

If lance wants to come in and discuss the quote and put a deposit down then that is fine.

If he doesn't then that is also his perogative but I would have liked him to explain EVERYTHING his asked for hence why the quote is pricier.

Yes , he could have used china, yes he could have used Power FC , yes he could have used KKR etc but that wasn't what he asked for.

FFS , I am a little jack of having to justify this to all and sundry who jump on , it was supposed to be a quote to one person based on one persons desire of what they want , not a public debate of whether we are cheaper/better/worse than shop XYZ.

Mods , I think it's time this shut down as I have better things to do than keyboard warrior with every person that thinks they know better/more/less/cheaper/china/easier/quicker *insert whatever you want *

if you stand by your quote, you shouldnt have to say anything.

the guy asked for some info on the quote, and he was given info.

it wasnt specified that he wanted to use top shelf parts, otherwise people wouldnt have mentioned china manifold and the like.

it also may not have been specified to you, but he said the car is stock as a rock, so we told him what supporting mods he will need to keep it at 420-460rwhp.

not everyone knows the in/outs of an RB25, thats why they go to workshops/forums for help.

lance asked people on this forum for their opinion and they are giving it

i dont see any problem with that and discussing whats cheaper , whats better

that is basically the purpose of this forum

it might have run its course tho , he definetly has enough info to consider now

I have purchased a few $$$ worth of gear from Ken for our latest toy n never hesitated with the price he has given , maybe i could of got from ebay , yahoo , greenline or some other net shop but when i need advice Kens always happy to steer me in the right direction ..

a ems stinger, im makin 380hp with standard internals i think there worth having a talk to

cheers sam

Whoa what a response, Im glad all u guys in SAUWA sure come together on a topic like this, even if your not all on the same sides of the fence.

Again, I was just after opinions not a flame fest, (maybe I left it a bit open but I did not expect workshops to start arguing lol) and I did not go into specific detail of my personal goal for the r33 because I dont have one, apart from wanting quality parts (for which I was quoted for), and a quality tuner/workshop which is why I went to Hyperdrive (45 mins from where I now live in Lesmurdie)

I will be perusing this quote through Hyperdrive, Just waiting on funds which shouldn't be to long.

For all those who help me come to this decision thanks :)

p.s I already had a china copy car, I just wanted to see/feel the real thing in action.

I agree, close thread time :happy:

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
