How thoughtful of nissan :D

what size boost gauge did u use in the aircon vent

52mm or 60mm?

the reason why you cant have it on the 'A pillar' is not because it blocks vision, but becuase your head can apparently reach it if u were in a crash, and so its a saftey reason(its called the head crash area). ...thats what a sargeant cop told me, and he also knew his shit abt turbo cars.

my 2c

spot on

all on cops judgement

i think they look cool on the A-pillar, like 3 of them, ppl must think your car is worked off its nuts with airflow boost and temp gauges

I have the same st. wheel mount Carbon gauge pod with a GREDDY Boost PRESS Gauge on my R32, I also have another GREDDY Oil PRESS gauge mounted on the top of the dash to the left of the little buttons controlling the Radio (Which don't work). And an Autometer Monster Tacho on the other side of my dash mounted on my A-Pillar.

When I got defected for ride height about 6 months ago, the cop looked through my car under the engine bay, remarked that the 'only' mods were the BOV and FILTER, then closed the bonnet.

He then went and had a look inside the car and remarked at the gauges and said 'OK', that's all-get your ride height fixed and there will be no more problems.

Interestingly enough, I am endevouring to relocate my 2 PRESS Gauges to my A-Pillar soon and mount the Monster Tach rice style in the middle of my dash, like the AUTOSTYLE R32 GTR (DEXTER) and their other TOP SECRET R33 GTR

I think this may have been mentioned previously, but how the hell are Taxi's with those big box things sitting ontop of the dash right in front of the driver legal !!!

I've NEVER heard of a Taxi getting a defect notice for them, so what goes !!!

:D

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
