    Repair Small Dent And Side Mirror

    in Queensland

    Posted

    After leaving my car at that big xmas cruise i come back to find a small golf ball sized dent in my car door. Paint is all fine, should be an easy fix

    Unrelated, I took out my drivers side mirror against a post in a parking lot. Im not gonna pretend it was my gf, it was me :spank: just wasnt paying attention, too tired. Lucky it hit my mirror otherwise i would be looking at a new door. Anyway the actual mirror is fine, just the glass smashed.

    Best place on the northside for a small dent repair, and best place to find myself a series 2 r33 drivers side mirror

    Guilt-toy Installs Vipec V44 Plug In.. & Base Tuned

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    gday guilt toy, few questions about your little computer setup you have

    (if the chicks digg a hand controller they would be touching themselves over your setup). nah seriously i have the v44 plugin in my 33 and would like to moniter stuff + have it for itunes + videos.

    hat input does the screen have? Im by the quality its not AUX input

    How much rougly for the screen?

    Do you have a laptop or have you built yourself a little computer and just chucked it somewhere?

    If you have build a little computer (should be able to do so for $200-$300), what are you doing for the power supply (the only tricky part)?

    New Plug-in Ecu Coming

    Getting mine installed next week.

    i got a plugin installed on my 33 series 2 gtst by Mark @ godzilla. made 245rwhp with stock injectors and turbo @ 13psi (i got fuel pump and regulator, hybrid fmic, pod, dump + highflo cat)

    but it runs really smooth, a lot more responsive than it was with the stock ecu

    should be good when i round up some more $$$ for turbo and injectors and splitfires

    I am after a better boost controller.

    Has anyone used the HDI-SBC-D-EVOLUTION boost controller?

    Are they worth the money??

    ive got one and I love it. Spools way quicker than stock. cheaper than the eboost2 and newer than profec

    i have no complaints, works great, easy to install

    just got off the phone 2 efi, they put and rb20 ecu in and tune it with the nistune, down fall is u lose your

    variable timing adjustments,

    or you can get a vg30 i think it was, where you keep every thing.

    any ways rb20 is $375

    plus dyno time, which is about 2-3 hours at an estimate. $175 an hour.

    if you wanna go higher in kw, afm and reune evey mod pretty much.

    so i might save my money and get a vg30 ecu and get it tuned.

    sounds to me from your answer to my questions that an Apexi Power FC is the best option...

    yeah mate seems to be the go,

    ill keep checking the SAU classifieds, and chuck up a WTB

    if anyone hears of one for sale let me know

    thanks

    Dont get a chip unless it is on the dyno when they do the tune for the chip.........Skimp here and you may well blow your engine as there are a number of elements that need to be taken into account.

    A powerfc is your best bet for a mild modded car as it will still be there when you want to push your motor further. I have a mate with a RB25, 35/40 turbo, bigger injectors etc with over 400rwhp(Obviously upgraded airflow meters etc) and it runs like a factory tune compared to my Haltech.

    I would put up how much u want to spend here otherwise u r wasting peoples time as the all mighty dollar will govern what advice people will offer.......

    thanks mate it looks like looking for a power FC is the way to go

    I am fine spending up to $2500, however I would rather put that money towards my new turbo+injectors if possible

    This is incorrect. Possibly out of the easiest to install, and less labour intensive out of your whole list. perhaps find a new tuner.

    Also they do not require a new AFM this is also incorrect information. You will only require a new AFM when your powerfigures (airflow) max out your stock one. which on your stock turbo, you should be ok with.

    Yeah looks as if i definately misunderstood that part, thanks for the advice

    I guess a reasonable question to ask is;

    What do you expect to spend or want to spend???

    I obviously do not wish to pay for something advanced which will just be unncessary for my future plans (mid sized turbo + injectors) if I can get the same results out of something for a lot less. However I would rather get something done right first time and save myself a lot of hassle and end up with a better product (learnt that the hard way with my suspension)

    I know of an rb25 with a chipped stock computer and it runs like a pig (could just be a shitty tune + many other factors). So i guess the question is will chipping my standard ecu give me reasonable reliable power without my car and still run clean? How many other people have this done with similar mods? Whats the best type of chip to get and who can supply/fit/tune?

    Sorry for the vague question but I wanna make sure I get it done right and there are a lot of different information out there

    thanks

    Series 2 1998 Ltd Edition 33Gts-t Rb25

    Stock turbo (has steel wheel because of limited edition model, same as R34 Gtt i think)

    (also apparently has a slightly different computer i have been told somewhere, not sure of this)

    Hdi Frontmount

    Dump pipe + full exhaust + hi-flow cat

    Pod

    Fuel Pump

    Fuel Reg

    HDi SBC-D Electronic boost control

    Have had all of the above fitted, went for a tune and pretty much anything above 10psi the stock computer did not like (apparently common with Series 2 computers). The power curve went up nice at fiirst, but at around 250rwhp it just went everywhere. The result being after around $2.5k of parts and labour my car is still running on a whole amazing 10psi and running very rich :)

    So the next stage is new ECU...

    * Attempting to chip the existing ecu or putting a series 1 ecu in - Would rather get it done right first time, want it running smooth and clean and reliable

    * Finding a Power FC - Apparently a lot of labour involved in installing and they also require a new AFM

    * Wolf V3500 - around $2200 installed and tuned

    * ViPec, some new ECU just out on the market, $2300 installed and tuned

    * Haltech E11 - Around $2900 installed and tuned im guessing (havent had a quote)

    is there anything else out there on the market? ive heard about Stealth ones?

    Mods for the future;

    * Injectors

    * Medium-ish sized turbo

    Where is the best place around Brissy to supply tune an ECU, is anywhere particularly cheaper or better than the rest?

    Anyone have any of the above ECUs? I know they are overboard for the mods I have but from what I have been told chipping is not worth it

    Pretty much any advice or anyone or place i should check out

    thanks

    got a 89 Honda legend under my name atm with RACQ, they wouldnt insure me for new car, so i phoned Just cars. $1275 A year on a turbo r34 skyline, they also put me on a rating 2 :) on my opens and I skipped all that P plate crap, but its pritty much the same amount my dad was paying on his with a rating 1, 2 or so years ago so im stoked. I have been driving for 5/6 years or so.

    young people get raped on insurance... but its worth it :D
