Thanks guys, im so happy with it!

I think the first mod will be tinted windows. Because its cheap and makes a huge difference.

Then the exhaust to get the rex growl! It sounds like a turbo diesel at the moment, its kinda cute though.

Nice to know I cant get defected! No fear of the Po Po for once! :P

Go and join rexnet before you do many mods, with anything past the classic range the ecu's don't learn big mods (like exhuasts and the like) so if you do a full exhaust budget a ecutek tune....Rexnet is ur friend

Cheers,

That is really good to hear! I was after something reliable with performance and im hoping that is exactly what I get. From what I have heard they are pretty hardy things and the performance and handling is speaking for itself!

I havnt ventured onto Rexnet yet. I have looked at S&J Automotive and they seem to be the Go to place for Rex's. They have some performance packages that look alright, as do Exhaust Technology.

First mod to do to it you can do at home...Get rid of the intake resonator and replace it with a cold air feed straight into the airbox from the guard! Makes massive difference! Just take the inner guard lining off from the RH side of the car and you'll see what i mean!

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      High temp brake fluid?

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.

      Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
