McRen,

If this is for fun then ok. If I just misunderstood your post and aggravated you then sorry lets start again.

What do you drive?

The black MR2 is supposed to be pretty quick but I've never seen it run. I know it's had a lot spent on it.

FWIW I go along with those who recommend Rodney Howell but I haven't personally used him. I know he's a good bloke with a good reputation. The MR2 looks pretty trick from what I've seen.

Specialist also have a good reputation but again I haven't used them. Boccino's have done good work on a previous car for me but I don't know how many Japanese cars they do, I think they're more European oriented (correct me if I'm wrong anyone).

I currently use the business I use because I've been friends with the owners for a while.

Tim.

Regarding the gearbox thing.

I have broken 2 or 3... or 4 gearboxes in the WRX. <8-(

Hopefully that's fixed now.

Nissan and Toyota seem to have managed to make decent strength boxes so I don't know why it's taken so long for Subaru.

Has anybody on this forum used the Apexi Power FC on a Skyline? If so do you have an English manual for one (R33 GTR would be nice)? I have one for an RX7 but I assume there may be some differences in the software that may be of interest.

Tim.

The mate with the skyline is a guy from motors his car is a red and silver skyline r30. he bought it from a guy at mole creek and the only problem is its an auto. Only mod is a podfilter. Their are now three skylines parked outside motors 2X R30 and 1X R31.

Cheers lavers

Thanks for the reply on the Apexi Manual. I have tried there but can't seem to get to a manual for the controller. It shouldn't be a problem, the RX7 one is a great help anyway. I'll have two Japanese people staying with me in a week so I'll ask them to translate for me. :-)

I should be getting the Apexi installed on the GTR in the next few days.

It was nice to meet you Wogboy. Nice car and a great result!

The intercooler setup is a credit to you. Makes me wish I wasn't so lazy.

Yeah, pretty pumped. Saw quite a few R33 GTST's while in Hobart , 3 white ones, 2 wine red ones and one black one. Did any of these belong to you guys? It was good to have a yarn to you Roaldin, I could spend all my time fidling with my R33 (though the Missus disapproves) Hope to catch up again someday.

Wogboy

Sorry guys, I have been very busy lately and therefore was not able to get on the fourms to moderate.

Mcren, this forum is meant for peaceful chat between people with a mutual interest: cars. I am not one to supress friendly rivalry or different opinions, but your intentions are clearly inflammatory. Keep it inoffensive thank you, so we can all enjoy the forum.

Nizmokid, look in your PM box, as I have sent you a message re your reply.

Have fun.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
