I originally posted the "R34GTT vs XR6T" thread a while ago found here when test driving tipronic, turbo sixes around the 30k mark.

To cut a long story short, I had made my choice and I found the R34GTT to be the superior overall package. Now my time has finally come to take delivery of my baby. All things going well ( ie. the world not ending in some sort of freak cataclysmic-disaster) I will have the car in my hands tomorrow!

It now looks like the 3 months of waiting has finally come to an end and the four cyclinder, naturally aspirated, XX year old, lancer (our make do car) will be returning to the mother in-law. Only problem now.... I need to be able to get to sleep tonight!!!! :wassup:

Anyone have any suggestions for how to get through the final wait? (actually I think I'll be restless for the next couple of nights ;) )

i remember when i got my 33.....it was unreal. i didnt get any sleep, was up all night looking at the photos of it. everything was going sweet on pick up day....except old bud left NOOOOOOOOO fuel in it....he then told me it pings a little on optimax, but not on synergy or ultimate, on the weekend of the big NSW premium fuel shortage....had to drive like a granny for 20kms through sydney stopping at each servo to see if they had premium, ended up putting in 3 bottles of octane boost and topping up with normal unleaded until we got to the twin caltexs....really put a dampner on the day. so basically i had to drive like a granny for nearly 2 hours after picking it up. after that though....well....yeh, tyres didnt last long.

congrats bro, you made the right choice. you wont regret it.

cheers

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
