  1. is that in advance or retard? If its retard, it could be a good thing as SK has his on 4 degrees retard and it seems to be suitable/good
  2. lol no its not a mini its 4 door, old and can do wheelies (if its got enough power)
  3. the wastegate was stuck open so i was hitting FB at 4500rpm. I was amazed others with the GCG said it was just as responsive as stock....mine wasnt Its all fixed now, but the $200 i saved on the turbo, cost me $400 in the end to get a workshop to fix it. Kinda annoying as i would have really expected better from GCG. Good turbo regardless, but f**k...annoys the shit out of and my wallet.
  4. stamp duty is 4% of the buy price. Give them the FOB car price that will be cheaper stamp duty 1 year rego is $520 RWC will cost you about $500-$1000 i reckon for a fresh import, unless its immaculate (little shit will be broken, like, washers, a bulb here a bulb there.... but it all adds time in labour etc
  5. Ok, yes, it definatly flutters now the pod is on. When i had the stock turbine it was a "pffff" noise, maybe the GCG makes it flutter? SK? Should i replace my BOV with an aftermarket unit?
  6. well, my exhaust is such that my engine is what i hear under hard acceleration, which is the way i like it and think it should be. will install POD today, see what it sounds like.
  7. M35 stagea?
  8. front bar indicators or side indicators?? If its for the front bar, i got dibs on them, its 10:39PM now, so I am in first. Let me know
  9. Well, today, i just noticed that my stagea flutters..... This noise seems to have developed as until now, the car just "pfffffffff"ed. To be honest, the other day i took the vac hose off the bov as i wanted to get flutter, but all i got was a car that stalled before it got into 2nd and a day of driving around ever 5 minutes the 4wd light coming on and the car was just idling like piss and being shit in general. Couldnt hold revs etc. Anyway, after it stalled, i pulled over and reconnected the hose immediatly. Annnyyywayyy, since then ive noticed a flutter when i back off at about 5psi or so at 1/4 load, not what i used to hear which was just a rush of air. So, have i damaged my stock BOV or what? Car still holds boost fine and is as quick as ever. BTW, tomorrow ill be buying a POD just to piss around with it, never owned a turbo car before and i want some induction noise for a week
  10. First a stagea is automatic I will be at that magic power level in a few weeks, just about to buy an ITC and off i go Here is what i estimate is needed for that power level GCG turbo $1800 3 inch exhaust turbo back $1400 R34 Sidemount cooler $200 Tomei poncams $800 SITC+DFA+IEBC $500 the lot 040 fuel pump $230 (could use a gtr pump) stock FPR should do it ive heard Tune $300-500 maybe Air filter $70 Something done to the auto maybe just shift kit $300 ATF cooler $140 (a real must over stock power levels) The turbo is oil and water cooled, just like the R33's At that power level, maybe the auto will be effected. Nothing a $3000 rebuild cant fix lol As for a 222rwkw cefiro vs a 200awkw stag. Lauch id put on the stag, but at higher speeds its weight and brick-like shape would catch up to it i reckon.. Btw, dont forget the suspension and brakes Rotors/pads/lines/fluid - $1500-2000 all around suspension kit from SK - $2000
  11. stock manifold is mild steel....
  12. ive just spent about 40 minutes searching and couldnt find anything. Call Nissan
  13. use the stock pump as a lift pump, into a surge tank and then the 040 from there on.
  14. Yes, but i think the question is more a long these lines - do we hack up the stock rails and the universal rails and weld em together, or do we just hack up the universal rails ?
  15. Fast - will be sending yours out tuesday due to Easter. Sorry about the delay Any more people?
  16. i get a gurgling water type noise when the car first starts cold in the morning.
  17. That would have been a personal import me's thinks
  18. oh dont get me wrong, beautiful cars. Ill definatly consider owning one some time down the track, but for the money, id just get a 260rs. There has got to be another wagon out there to rival it? Hmm, I know what ill get when i can, AMG E55 Estate version. That will be the king of the road
  19. OMFG your stag has no roof racks!!! ...its losts its stagness
  20. what the hell, for brake pads?! SCREW THAT!
  21. I woulnt compare the legnum with anything other than the 260rs, the whole twin turbo thing has to vs nissan twin turbo power. A legnum is a twin turbo (3000GT engine), 4wd manual wagon thing I wouldnt give up the availability of parts for the nissan over the legnum, as the legnum wouldnt have any SK group buys or anything
  22. Well the deal is I am personally going to be paying for the mould and will incorporate that into the price when getting them made. I would like to get a group of at least 5 people confirmed when manufacturing the first batch as the mould is in the larger part of half a grand. That said, they dont have to be paid 100% but at least maybe a $50 deposit to secure things for me (me own personal outlay) At this stage, I think this is still an EOI as i dont have moulds or any product to provide anyone, but once i have the mould made and everything is ready to go, i have no issues with this thread being moved. Before I release the product to the market, ill get a prototype made for me, get it sprayed and installed and then post some pictures on the net. THAT will be when the Group Buy will start. Time frame? - 2 weeks to copy the spoiler - 2 weeks for me to get around to getting it painted and installed - 2 weeks to arrange payments/production - 1 week shipping So really, id love this EOI to get as much interest as possible. Also, what is your vote for above?
  23. its pearl white ey?...eeeyyy? Just out of curiosity where did you get it and how much was it? PS - I personally like the 2nd red style wing more. I think for a car with sideskirts, it really sets it off
  24. I am in Melbourne but I can arrange shipping of the wing if you cant. Ill get a courier to come pick it up from you, probably TNT or something. Wont be hard to get the nuts set into the mould, shouldnt be much extra cost either, if anything. It is safe to presume that nissan have left the holes under the black rail stuff there, but i dont like the centre hole. I may try to deisgn out the centre hole as i am sure the guys that are putting the wing on dont want to drill, as i dont. I will try to supply some really good double sided tape for replacing that centre bolt, also for the whole length across. I presume the wing you have looks like this? I am also tempted to make the copies slightly more "pointy" on the ends to resemble this style of wing. I think this is not over the stop, but gives a slightly sleeker look compared to the semi-squared off end the stock wing has. Does anyone have photos of their stock stock wing, then a stock dayz wing and then any aftermarket wing? Id love to compare them all. 3intheback, if you could also post a photo of the wing, that would be great for us to study. But for now..... VOTE - Stock stock wing - Slightly modded stock wing for more sleeker look as red one above?
