  1. welcome mate! Looks like a fun project, can't wait to see the progress
  2. Welcome Mate, Love the work space, so jealous!
  3. Hi Mate, Welcome to the family. Pics of project so far?
  4. Welcome mate! This is sick build, I love it! As @luke gtr said, you have to put GTR badges on it, if you haven't already
  5. Welcome mate. Beautiful GTR you've got there.
  6. very nice mate and welcome to SAU
  7. What I liked about JEM was, the experience they have in RB's, the workmanship, and the service. JEM talked me through the whole process and didn't hide any of the possible costs that are going to be associated with work. In my opinion, a good tuner is someone who has worked on enough of the engines your tuning and should be able to foresee most of the potential problems and advise you prior (Not start the work and then say "oh this is going so I need more $$$ because you don't have this or this broke"). Now I understand that things happen and no one can predict the future, however, there are parts that a good tuner will know won't cope with the extra load if they have been regularly working on your type of engine. JEM outlined everything right from the getgo and tested what they could before beginning the work, like completing a compression and leak down test to make sure that the engine was in good health before dumping a tonne of boost into it. The quote them at the time "we don't want you putting a whole heap of cash into an engine and tuning unless you know it's going to cope" I also appreciated that when I picked up the car, Adam took me for a drive to make sure that I was happy with it and to answer any questions I had on it and the tune. I'd never had that type of service from previous tuners, usually its once the job was done, pay your bill and get your car out of their car park. Would I go the -9's? Probably yes, although I'm one of those weirdo's that likes the lag, especially when it comes on to an unsuspecting passenger. lol If you want responsiveness, then yes -5's, but as I'm sure you've read the best responsiveness you're going to get is from a single. There is a stack of benefits that come with running a single and its not just the power and its delivery, they're typically cheaper (because you're only buying one), less heat in the engine bay (always a good thing), fewer parts to break, the latest tech in single turbos make them animals.
  8. Welcome Mate, Any pics of your new ride?
  9. Hey Mate, I have a very similar setup as you as looking to have fitted up. I've running twin HKS GTRS (dash 10's, which are super laggy) plus 1000cc injectors, platinum pro, HKS EVC, NISMO intercooler, E85 fuel lines, external surge with twin 404's, plasmaman fuel rail and Tomei pon cams and cam gear. I probably wouldn't go the Tomei manifold unless it's the cast model. The stainless has a tendency to crack (which mine has) and then can play around with startup idle from time to time. Plus I don't think that there is actually that big a gain over the standard manifolds. I've running duel mapping for 98 and E85. On 98 I'm making 305RWKW (at 19psi) and on E85 405RWKW (at 27psi). Since you're running the Platinum Pro it can't hurt to have both E85 and 98 maps setup anyway. It's then your decision whether you use E85 or 98 but at least you have the option. All my tuning work has been done by Adam and the boys at JEM and I can't fault their workmanship and expertise when it came working on and tuning my GTR. The setup isn't for everyone's taste, as most on the response, however, I like you I wanted it setup similar to the way it would have been done back in the day.
  10. Welcome! Any pics of the project?
