its ok its for my mate... i used my head and did a search and found some previous threads in regards to them... he wants a 180sx and they have a nice lookin 97 model but hes rushing him for a sale, even saying tomorrow morning he will take him to CBA and get his mate to give him the loan for it and im telling him to wait til i can come down with him and look at the car and check to see if its been in an accident and get RACV to do a check on it as well.

Tell your mate not to rush.   I pass there every day and see the SAME cars there for months.  So take your time, do the checks and hammer them down on the price, as they can be a little too pricey.

like when they were in preston, that orange 33 was always there haha and in the ads

oh them guys, sorry I know em as MSA, they're like 2 blocks down from my place.

I dunno bout them hey, they never seem to move their stock, same cars day in day out, and they always seem to show my car to their customers when I drive by (must be the exhaust).

I remember I did a lil dori while turning the corner into Bell St from the side street (god bless empty 3 lane roads) and one of their customers got very excited and started whistling...

I visited MSA when I was looking into buying a car, and I must say if you can establish to em that you know your shit about cars they won't f**k you around (took me a about 10 mins to point out some things about the cars they had that they din know like different specs and also explaining to the salesman that K's Q's n J's stood for King Queen and Jack in S13's)

I still say you should import one from japan, but if you NEED to go to a dealer they're one of the ones I'd say were OK.

went to have a look at it with him yesterday...

i think its too late now :P hes in a rush and against my judgement because the bonnet is repaired poorly from hail damage.... there are a few runs on the bodykit... the left guard isnt painted properly on the inside... if i were him i would have only offered him 21 at the most.

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
