well the average difference between SAFC and a standalone with THOSE specific mods are around 15rwkw. anything above 200-210kw and you just cant do anything with the safc.

thing is, when you've randomly $500 you want to throw it at your car and get power the QUICKEST way possible then things like safc's and emanage look really attractive and are pretty much the ONLY option. i also did it your way, i started with an safc, then went to a chipped ecu, then went an emanage, then finally got a vipec, ive spend around $5000 just on ecu's and tunes whereas if i bought a standalone to begin with it would've been less than half that.

but this is the cycle we all go through! if someone told you to just shut up and buy a standalone for $1600 instead of going for a $200 safc, would you have listened? or would you have weighed out the $$ you have vs. the time it would take to get the $$ for the standalone and just said, "fuckit" like most do.

depends on the dyno you should make an extra 30hp

with exhaust cooler and 11psi on std ecu i made 170kw (230hp) then i installed the safcII and made 193kw (260hp)

before i got it tuned i asked the guy how much it should make and he said 30hp coz he tuned a gtst the other day and it made that, so my guess is 30hp!!

just raise the boost as high as u can without hitting boost cut which i can almost guarentee wont be any more then 12psi

mine was tuned to 11psi and didnt hit boost cut on the dyno but when i drove the car on a cold night or when the engine was still cold it would sometimes hit boost cut

oh yeh and i had NO increase in fuel economy, i was kinda expecting a differnence, still get 400km to 50L

good luck with it dont blow ya car up :)

      The vendor you bought from is a dickhead who can't tell the difference between AWD and RWD bearings. Their eBay listing is one of the first hits too, and is wrong. Any other hit shows the ones that are on your car. A search for GTR rear wheel bearings, unsurprisingly, finds the one you have from Shift. f**king muppets.

      Got the flat door cards "good enough" for now. After cutting out the arm rest I removed all the stock trim material. Then filled the gap with a bit of Masonite and wrapped it in some adhesive foam to hide the  transitions as much as possible. Then I applied some black vinyl material to the panel with some spray on contact adhesive smoothing the edges as best as I could. Here is how it sits in the car with the door handle and cut down window switch mounted

      R32gtst rear wheel bearing

      Ok so I have a little bit of an issue. So I have a 1992 r32gtst and trying to replace the rear wheel bearing and spindle the research I’ve done shows a different style bearing than what is currently on my car. So the picture of the new bearing with the box says it’s the correct bearing as does my research but the picture shown of the old bearing is the one that came off the car. I’m a bit confused the new bearing has an ear on it that I’m assuming goes to where the top of the ebrake shoes mount as to where my old bearing does not. Any help would be awesome

      What in the absolute mind f**k. Generally speaking, you cannot diesel a petrol engine without sparkplugs which you don't have since you're disconnecting battery.... Something is very fishy here.
