EVO isn't that amazing, and pale in comparrison to my R33, however as stock they freakin good and you can mod them to a reasonable level for very little money in a way that will still appear stock and not require changes if defected.

guess ill have to drive one sometime to see what the fuss is. factory recaros sounds nice, probably still factory heavy though.

Guy i know through work has a modified one in Tassie.... always been tempted to buy it at Tassie price, drive for a bit then sell for profit here. who says JDM styling is a bad thing :P

i removed my seats on the weekend, they arent light but they arent skyline seat heavy.

yeah they're a good all rounder

i dont plan on modding it or going power crazy

the factory power output is plenty i think

what hamish said, an ecu flash with more boost (can be done via factory ecu and factory solenoid or buy a 3 port solenoid that plugs in to the factory loom for $115)

dual map it with 98 and e85, they pickup a decent 30kw or so. stock tune is only ~160kw at the wheels, remap with ~24psi or slightly more on the e85 map.

i dont have any good pics of it yet, havent got it, still going through mechanical check, rwc etc

its an evo 8 MR FQ 300

leather suede interior

slotted and drilled rotors

red brake pads

different manifold

hks evc 5 i think ?

apexi pen turbo timer

coilovers

hks exhaust superdragger apparently

its a UK spec so it has a few homo spec items, fog lamp in rear bar, speedo is dual mph / kp/h

the windows close and the mirrors fold in when you press the lock button 3 times on the remote

is this std or some special feature? never seen this on a factory car

some of the MR FQ stuff is a little hard to check

he assues me its a legit fq, the chassis seems to align to the FQ #'s and all the badges are there etc

confirms he has all the FQ paperwork

all in all a nice example and v happy

    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
    • Good news mate, plenty of spares available 5:40
