Alright guys, I didn't start this thread to talk about politics, or to whinge about how much money other people are making. Lets keep it on topic eh?

Judging by the responses so far, I would say that an ECU is the best bet.

O/T maybe some rears for my 34 (1934 not r34)

i missed the part where i said the global recession was labors fault?

you might want to find out how to spell a party's name before voting for them

Where is the part where I say you said the global recession is labours fault.

Nice work there sparky (JonnoHoward)..lol

and its good to see kevin07 sticking with labour tradition and wasting all the money from budget surplus's under liberal. good stuff kev, keep up the good work

What my post says in a sarcastic way is: do you think he has a say in the matter? Do the rest of the planet also have it wrong or are they all following Kev07's misguided Labour lead.

He's blowing all the Liberal parties money...doofus

I speak and write in English, not American English.

I spell colour with a U the same way I spell labour with a U, you can follow the Americanisation of all things if you wish.

Here's a clue

During the early years of the ALP, the Party was referred to by various titles differing from colony to colony. It was at the 1908 Interstate (federal) Conference that the name 'Australian Labour Party' was adopted. In its shortened form the Party was frequently referred to as both 'Labor' and 'Labour', however the former spelling was adopted from 1912 onwards, due to the influence of the American labor movement

I repeat I do not speak American what ever that may be and never will.

Fo shizzle I won't.. :)

nice work idiot... you really are quite simply aren't you...

owned.

now back on topic, to the OP, i still say REMAP, not FC.

I too will be spending this money on the car. Was going to spend on interior, but pretty much scrapping that idea.

I have most the suspension sorted, adj sway bars, shocks, springs, camber kits.

Power stuff...

-full 3" exhaust

-high flow turbo

-fuel pump

-injectors

-blitz spec r ebc

-remap

-rev210 intake mod

-FMIC

-splitfires (not really power)

i think that's about it. Got good tyres, 18" forged rims (GTR), good brake pads, brake stopper thingy...

i'm going to tip in $100, so i can spend $1k. don't know where to go now though? Any thoughts?

I'm really quite simply what? Imbecile.

As I was explaining to your fellow simpleton.

I do not use "American" English, It's a bastardisation of OUR language.

Did you miss that part of the post or was it beyond your comprehension?

Quoted from http://www.alp.org.au/about/history.php <<< the a.l.p

You really are clever aren't you.

Thanks for your input Gonad, appreciated.

Boned!

I'm giving my handout back...

REGO! :P

I think I'll bank the change in protest... or to just continue the trend with what a large number of recipients will do... minimally stimulating the economy.

But in answer to Dreamr33's question, if i were you I'd spend it on suspension mods. Like someone mentioned earlier sways, and a front and rear strut brace, or some second hand shocks in good condition.

well, there you go... a piece of history from 1912, i was not aware of this. But where is this influence now?

i apologise and withdraw my comments (if i could edit)

to the OP, how many k's has your 33 done? $900 prob won't cover it, but will go quite close to doing a 100,000km service

Not 100% sure, Might give Jim Berry a call and see what he can do for me.

I have heard he can do a pretty good set up for about $900. Even if it's a bit more it doesn't worry me.

I just don't want something that is going to be heavy and a dog in traffic.

Looks like I'll be putting the money towards a new set of tyres

yup $500 of ours went on marshal mactra tx's

making a rear swaybar atm, another 25$ for some solid steel rod, and wednesday is dyno-day.

200 change out of that ^ to put towards cosmetic touchups, maybe even panda-style :)

yes, but you still run into the problem of tuning. Yeah, you can just run a new turbo with a boost controller but you don't really see the value out of any of these extra mods unless you get it tuned.

I still say ECU Remap @ Status Tuning, this way whatever mods you do in the future, you can get the most potential out of them.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
