As Rohan mentioned I have a DrDrift chip as well. Bang for buck I swear by it. Sure its not a full motec, but I mean its a street car.

But yeah, mine was just Sams off the shelf for basic modded RB20s (ie cooler, bit of boost filter etc) so all we did was plug it in, wack it on the dyno to check it all was running fine, which it was. So it was the cost of the chip, and the cost of a dyno run. My afrs are a perfect 12, so much so you can almost run a ruler along the afr line. Power was up about 15-20kw atw before the chip. Way way more mid range. And most importantly it did all of that AND I get more kms per tank of fuel, approx 50kms to every tank to be exact. Add to that no boost or speed cut, and the rev limiter moved.

So if you have a basic modded RB20 that might be the way. Get the chip up by post (REALLY easy to install), put it on the dyno then go from there. Mine didnt need any extra tuning, neither might yours. As everyone else has said tho. Talk to Sam.

But for me about 2 years ago it cost like $450 or so with the dyno time.

$900 did seem a bit steep, so it's goot to see there is other alternatives.

right now really exploring the option of just whacking in a rb25.

too bloody indecisive. right now it will probably have to wait till the end of jan, as I just ordered a vertex kit, so the car will be getting a respray and some volks start of jan.

*interested* i just sent out that email thing out to you Dr Drift :D)))

P.S ROHAN WEN IS DA LINER GONNA BE READY?!! :DD IWANNA SEEZOR EKEKEE

Soon brudda soon.
;)

Daughter boards are now available to convert RB25 ECUs to run 27C256 Eprom for Map Data :D

At LAST!!!

    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.  
    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
