We just bought an R53 MINI Cooper S for my wife and it is awesome to drive.

180 odd bhp, sports suspension and 1100 kg.

I had a blurr to sell my 540 bhp R33 GTS-T and get another Cooper S and tweak the bejesus out of it.

Maybe I'm drinking too much cheap wine.

Any help, much appreciated.

cheers

id say just do a long awaited mod to the skyline...

New rims n mad sticky tyres? some kit? leather interior?

something to fan the flames of passion that any of us would die for to have a 540hp 25/30 (you bastard):thumbsup:

HaHa, Love your comment, Thanks man, I get it.

Well, I've really nothing left to flame, it's all done.

Suspension,engine, brakes, rims and tyres.

So do I start again with another project and burn another $50K or go for a GT4088 twin scroll + NOS on the 3.0.

Hey if my wife gets a wiff of any of this I'm FUBAR. :rolleyes:

if you have the readies for it why not soup up something a little different? like a Delorean or an imported Crown vic and make it look like a legit NYPD cruiser...

you realise if you put NOS in you'll have to get 2 of them... the big ones..

or as the cop says, get an EVO and go all time attack on it. .giant wide body kit, huge wing etc. dont forget the NOS either..throw about 100k under the hood, no one could take you, not even a Jetta!

oh and rb25, would i be allowed to roll around with cop lights on my ride as long as it was marked as a foreign LAC? as in yank?

keep your gtst-t and tweak your wife's mini

best of both worlds

damn right mate,

I'd rather cut off my right arm than sell my GTS-T

I mentioned tweaking the MINI before but she is strongly against it, she loves it just the way it is.

So I have to do it behind her back. HAHAAAA

I'm gonna order the 15% reduced pulley for the Supercharger, do a high flow intake and have it remapped on a dyno.

Will be interesting to see if she notices.

Don't worry, if she hits me, I'll hit her back. :thumbsup:

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
