Yeah definetely noticable difference. No way in hell would you leave it disengaged if you had the option to have it enabled.

Considering RB26 boys pay thousands of dollars to get a HKS VCAM (obviously a lot more advanced) there is definetely benefits to be had.

like he said, its personal preference...my preference is to go with it...at the time the amount of bullshit i went through because another tuner is just a f**kin pecker.

basically nistuned an ecu with a safe tune so i could get my car home with the new turbo

(turbo went 600kms from anywhere and it was stuck at my parents place)

went to get it tuned-had password protected it...wouldnt give me the password..wouldnt unlock it, as he wanted to do the tune.

the guys at morpowa bent over backwards to get it sorted and to fit ANOTHER nistune board in...at the time the vct wasnt the issue...now its a little annoying.

shopping around now for a rpm window switch, will install it and leave it disabled until i can get it on the dyno.

Wow that sounds like a major fk around, could have just got a base image flashed back on to the NIStune board and started again from there.

Mattw_83: wouldn't hurt to chuck it on the dyno and make sure it's all fine, some of the timing could probably be adjusted to make better use of the advanced intake cam.

I don't know whether mine was tuned for it or not but it handles it fine (NOT ADVISING YOU TO DO THE SAME), I'm building a 3L bottom end for mine so wasn't really fussed if it melted anything.. was a bit tentative about it to begin with but after a few runs with no adverse effects I thought bugger it, she's still going strong heh

Does make a HUGE difference to how the car drives around town though.

this was the easiest option at the time, and it was only an hour extra labour (which they never charged me for) and there tune compared to the guys that done it is a hell of alot better!

but yeah ill be sticking with it.

also you can use an auxillary on the e boost to operate the vct? i may be wrong!

also wont be an extensive tune, maybe a bit of a play with the existing tune...better to be safe and chuck it on a dyno!

yeah im not overly happy with it at the moment, although kids in there ufo kitted bright yellow s15's faces are funny when they get the jump at the lights and then destroyed about 2 seconds later. organising a rpm window switch at the moment and then when my car goes down to the paint shop ill take it next door to be touched up again!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
