Jim at Croydon's has done it again!!!

Ive been watching everyone tune their cars locally and in the USA for about 6 mths now. I didnt rush these mods and originally I was going with a base Cobb map 1 tune to match my midpipe etc but after watching 09GTR work with Croydons the custom tune is the only way to go.

Aside from the car obviously being more powerful its the perfect torque curve that makes the car more exciting to drive. VDC must be to R mode under full power otherwise TC cuts the throttle.

So the mods are:

CBRD Midpipe (the best midpipe ive ever heard - zero drone and under throttle sounds unreal)

Mines filters and

Custom Cobb tune from Jim

Standard the car put out 295kw. But now the car is putting out an easy 340kw (i think 15 pound boost) at the wheels, there is more power to come from these mods above but we backed it off until we can get some better HKS plugs.

Tonight the car ran 3.3 sec to 100kmph with over half tank of fuel. Didnt get it off the line perfectly but 3.3 is good enough for now and this should translate into low 11's. And the car has only 1600kms on the clock.

Next up - Actuators, HKS Boost controller, high flowed catted turbo pipes, GFB Blow off valves and Endless MX72 Pads all from Croydon's.

Highly recommend you speak to Jim at Croydon's if your thinking about some simple mods.

Thats awesome for such a few simple mods, must be very happy man.

yeah its certainly a lot more exciting to drive. the car only has 2600kmson it and as the kms go up i think its getting faster. only negative is that it comes on boost so hard at 3-5500rpms and then boost falls away slightly. im going to work with Croydons trying some new Cobb tuning to see if we cant get more consistent boost to the redline. The car is a complete handful in damp conditions and just spins the wheels in 1st & 2nd gear.

Maybe have to do Boost Controller and Actuators etc.

yeah im still giving thses rims some serious thought - although the Zele rims are sick as well... i recon the $$ will get a bit stronger as well - before it comes crashing down again! great time to be ordering from the US.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
