Had a door to door salesman came by our Warehouse this week selling a car / glass cleaning product. Went through the whole sales speal in our office and then offered to show how it works on the Volvo parked outside... grrrrrrr Asked him what Volvo? ... the Silver Volvo parked outside .... no silver Volvo parked our side... yes definatley a Volvo... He lost the sale at this point.. lol

Waiting with baited breath for the results of the adapters!

nice find...

My car went to 192km/h on the dyno @ 7300 rpm. So that is 38km/h per 1000 rpm. That would mean you would be at about 6450rpm.

Decided last Friday I was tired of getting a massage from my car above 90km/h so got a wheel balance done.. Well overdue and soo much nicer to drive now. I just have to go and pay extra for the massage now.

Great Result Aaron.. is that your speed cut at 169km/h? You need an override.

Actually $1250 for my Sierra Stage 1.

Craig given the problems you have had with 4WD light this makes some sense. Have you bled the Attesa system yet?

Best Mod for your $ you can do is sway bars before springs and shocks.

Pleased to hear you got it no problem. I just started mine but my turbo is journal bearing. Look forward to hearing the result. Cheers Andy

Things looking better for you Andrew.. How are you going with my stock dump pipe? You can show me the new car when you droop it around?

Sierra stage 1. Built by Precission Turbo. It is a journal bearing. I had it dyno'd on the stock turbo at 152.9kw at all 4 wheels. I gained a 15% gain in performance to 175kw now. Next stage is get the emanage on, suction pipe and get a tune and should be able to see 200-220kw comfortably. I will be fitting new injectors as I am seeing 100% injector duty cycle on current set up.

Well you know my opinion on the Sierra Stage 1 journal bearing build. (still need to take you for a drive) I was talking to Brad in SA (Ducati) and he is getting a GCG 28/71 built for his car. He said this is about 10% bigger than stock. He thought this is what Danny had in his car and his car went fairly well. I don't like your makes chances on the ECU side of things but from memory the guys working on your car work on Porsche's and Renault's? I believe this ECU has a lot more to do with Renault than Nissan. Cheers Andy

We made them... all ours are sold but I think "IAMHE77" has some left in Melbourne. Gains are slightly more power off boost and better economy when cruising. The difference in intake temps is worth the effort.

Ryan, how soon do you need it sighted? Also they offer Free Interstate delivery on the car. That would save you a few dollars over driving it back. Cheers Andy

No, I believe the claim by most other companies is about 2-3 psi drop at 20psi.

Whilst the Blitz and the HDI may look similar, most of the M35 drivers have gone with the HDI for 2 reasons, 1) good price 2) the pressure drop form the NEW HDI core is about 0.2psi. So in that sense it is a Fantastic buy. I am sure if you can save everyone some money you will get some orders but the new HDI core is a very good one.

Dale, I agree with you entirely with this. If businesses think they can operate in this market as an expensive "order to demand" store they have lost sight of what the internet has done to the world market. I know in our business we know the only way to grow our business, is to operate as a true distributor where I carry a comprehensive range of stock that is available to dealers the next day.

++++ Local labor rates that are DOUBLE the US. Rental prices that are at least DOUBLE the US. All I say is remember that when you buy from overseas that NO ONE locally will help you with any problems or warranty claims.

Chuckie, you have complained before about people going off topic. You should listen to your own advice and stop knocking other peoples posts.

Unfortunately many business will never decrease their price despite exchange rate fluctuations. As said above, they would not be seeing any benifit of the improved exchange rates yet for a couple of reasons, 1) warehouse with stock bought at old exchange rate 2) many businesses forward purchase currency to protect against unpredicted drops in the exchange rate. I know in my case when August last year we had a HUNG parliament and an exchange rate of $0.87, we could only see the exchange rate going one way, down. So we forward purchased most of the money needed for the next 6 months. This was a bad call but who would guess that we would be still be on parity 6 months later. Not us.

Only bad date for me is 8th - 10th April. As i will be pretending to ride a mountain bike for a few days..

Had my ebay fan on for 12 months and all good so far..

You need to use the "search" function of this forum. From memory there are at least 3 threads about the HDI FMIC that show pics. The piping does not connect to the throttle body or the turbo but connects one pipe segment from each. On the turbo side it replaces the curved pipe going back to the turbo. On the TB side it goes to the alloy pipe in front of the TB. Cheers Andy

The nice thing is they make a well balance car responsive to input, either throttle, brakes or steering in a way the standard set up never will. Looking good Jules..
