Just got the following parts put on:

-STRUP stainless headers

-Berk cats

-Ichiba y-pipe

-ztube and popcharger with heat shield

-motordyne spacer

-unorthodox racing pulleys with belts

-Stillen grounding kit

-06 jdm tailights

-NRG hood dampers

-B+M short shifter and Nismo carbon gearknob

-15mm Ichiba spacers front and 10mm rear

Wow what a difference these mods made! Car revs much quicker and the exhaust note is awesome. No rasp or drone yet.(has a kakimoto regu 06&r catback) Hopefully it stays that way.

All work was performed by Greg and the boys at autosport engineering and took 12 hours to do the lot including engine and gearbox oils. What a job they did and for an excellent price!!

The header install was not easy they tell me :P

Now off to get a tune on monday at CRD. Getting haltech platinum interceptor fitted.Hoping to pull high 180's or maybe even low 190's.

Will post dyno sheet up monday night

Yeah that's what i've read and what my bestmate experienced. He saw 20kw+ difference between CRD and ISMR. On another forum, some members have seen 15kw diff between CRD and UAS.

Doesn't really matter though..if it drives to your liking then it was worth it right :ermm:

I'll imagine after the tune, it should pull pretty sweetly! Let us know how it goes.

i might pull 200kw then :)

Nah thats fine i will get a before and after readout so i know how much extra power it made after the tune.....regardless of whether its a high figure or not. hoping for 10-15kw atw

we spend alot of money on our cars to extract little power

the $ - kw ratio imo is not worth it, hence why i will not be extensivley modifiying this car. not worth the money. rather make it look good than go good. no need for excessive speed on the street.

How'd it go Robbo33 ? :P

My tune only netted me peak 6kw atw i think, mid range was MUCH better though and no more gay 6600rpm rev limit now...feels like a totally different car. Oh and no more pinging whicich no doubt affected the power delivery (ECU constantly adjusting ignition etc).

No go yet!

the haltech got wired in and was all good to go. Put it on the dyno and it wouldnt rev past 5000rpm!

its a software error with haltech itself they said so back there on saturday to get it sorted out. all they need to do is make a phone call and it will be sorted instantly but because it was after 5pm they were closed.

Did pull 168rwkw without the tune though...so not to bad.

Full credit to the boys at CRD though as they were more devastated then me! they wanted me to leave the car there overnight so they could sort it first thing in the morning but i needed it for work tomorrow and to get home tonight (silverwater to miranda). they even offered me one of their cars for the night, but the tuner came in and said he just bypassed the haltech so it was running how it was when i drove it there.

So bring on saturday!

got the car back from crd today with dyno printout.

Made 179.6kw....couldnt quite get 180kw.

And the initial readout was 165.8kw not 168kw as they first told me.....so just under 15kw at the wheels with the tune and now revs to 7200rpm!

All in all im very impressed with how the car idles (before the tune the car would stall on cold starts and idle all over the shop) and the midrange is so much better.

will try and post dyno chart tomorrow

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If the tyres were fitted when new, I wouldn't expect much over 5 years of use. Especially if the car lives outside full time.  If the tyres had been stored under ideal conditions and are being purchased new, I'd fit a set of already 5 year old tyres if I only expected to get 1 to 2 years of use out of them.  I've purchased many a set of new (but quite old) tyres from St George Tyres when I just needed some decent rear tyres to drift on.  Here is a pretty crazy example, can't say I've ever bought 11 year old tyres from them before though lol.  https://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/momo-tyres-245-45-17-outrun-m3-official-product-by-momo-italy.html

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
