haha, i always get harassed, but ive had my whole install sitting in the garage for a few days now, and with my new mods i beat a 32 gts-t (standard), standard rexy, and a large number of commodores. its great thinking of leaving the stereo out till my new engine is complete.

i often get joked about though, things like, oh someone stole ur intercooler john.... haha... i dont really car, when my new engine is in there will be no joking, just embarrasment to all other parties involved....

Hmm. I dont lose to commodores often. Even the SS I can usually keep up with easily. I did have a xr6 turbo beat me the other day though. The only mods I have is full exhaust, pod and SAFC. Mine's a 34 though so I know im lighter than a 33 and I have light rims too. So im quite sure stock an 34 is prob quicker than a 33.

have u had it serviced since u bought it? change the plugs and oil, NA skylines arent by no means slow but they are definately not a fast car either, and without mods like extractors and an safc they make most of there power high in the rev range, extractors have so far been the most worthwhile mod though i havent had my safc tuned properly yet, the extractors gave the car some really fat midrange power this is what alows me to beat turbo cars as im already ahead while there turbo is still spooling up.

ummm the 3 liter block..... well read my mods to be completed thread it will tell u exactly what im planning to do, shame to be leaving the world of NA but the desire for some serious power has been killing me, and serious power it will be when completed.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
