My first taste of boost was in a S13 180sx that did 14.1 1/4 mile times. I loved it. Made me make the desision to buy my GTS-t.

Its funny when someone has there first ride in a quick jap car. I find that if you take someone for a ride and their past fastest car experiance is "Their uncles 95 SS Commodore" then you can really make them go quiet.

Or even better you can let them drive it on a cold night and then when they get out the car tell them to hold there hand still. Its so funny when you can see their hands (knees too sometimes) shakeing from the adrenalin rush.

My first taste of boost was in my car the day I test drove it, a r33 gtst boost was wound up to something stupid like 16 pound for a stock turbo, and my mate drove it first he is a mechanic for mercedes got it side ways round the first corner we got to, sold me the car straight away :)

I had no idea about turbos or anything i was like WTF is that noise lol me a noob

Could never live without it now

i think mine was in my mates Toyota Celica 1980 sedan metalic black with nice chrome simmons mags with a 3T-GTE 1.8L twin spark running 12psi.. i was 14 and it felt bloody quick. i think it ran a 13.5. now i'm a proud owner of a 4WD skyline :)

Mine was in a mates dad's Porsche 944 Turbo... Im 14 at a mates place and he says, " you know how to drive a manual dont you ?" Next thing we are driving down Spit road in a new 944 doing like 120km....Dumb things I did.

Drove around for about 2 hours and then put the car back. No damage and the dad never knew...I learnt that these cars have very small gates in their shifts. I kept going 1st, 2nd, 5th...doh

Fastest was a 10sec 13B RX4...wow I will always have respect for rotors.

heheh mine was in a 90 toyota surf ssr turbo diesel, slow as buggery.. then the turbo kicked in... still slow as buggery :(

I diddent get the proper taste until I bought my 300zx TT, a friend let me drive one of his R32 Gtst's, and I can get my v-spec gtr when plates are available

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
