+1 for this, I always use another parked car as a starting point... from there on it's all geometry.. put your faith in mathemetics and you will get in every time

How would that ever lose its gloss

+1 for epic books

iirc they get them from the same place sofias gets them.. which was suprisingly awesome given how terrible the food is From memory this was : http://www.marksqualitycakes.com.au/

It wasnt initially, its however (attempted)? to have been transplanted with bog stock everything (i.e, stock ecu, stock RB25det neo, looms from the GTT engine etc), except it all doesn't want to play nice. I was under the impression it would be easy to do so, so I agreed to it. Remember, I'm not mechanically minded at all (f**k, only had the car 2 months in my actual possession since I bought it about a year ago), so when a very well regarded places recommends replacing the entire engine with a stock one, with stock everything else to get it going it sounds drastic but I trusted that judgement. Obviously if I could go back in time, a lot of people would have made some very different decisions.

Not trying to argue (especially in such a light hearted wasteland thread) but whats the point of doing that, only to get done, and having to replace the aftermarket ECU with a legal one, placing me squarely in the same situation with additional cost As for the car being modified, it was originally probably f***ed beyond hope of any kind of fix. Infact it was. That's pretty much why I said remove everything in the damn car and replace it with everything factory. I used to have visions of burning the workshop down to claim it on insurance, but now that I cancelled that.. or rather chose not to renew the yearly payment yet.. I'll have to eliminate arson as a means of getting a working skyline, lol.

Yes. Unless it's going to pass an EPA (i.e Nistune?) then I don't want it.. otherwise I'd be in this situation one day when someone goes OLOLOLO AFTERMARKET ECUS!!! JOO MUST REPLACE!! (I am sure EPA representatives speak like this) I did ask if Nistune would work, but was advised that it wouldn't be able fix the issue by just tricking the car into ignoring niggly crap. That said, the shop doesn't do Nistune. So it'd have to be towed somewhere else. That's pretty much what is going to happen if they do throw their hands up in the air and declare it an impossible job.

Very very well known place. Well enough that if I named it I'm sure everyone would think I'm blatantly lying... I did initially call Knox autos. They told me they don't touch the R34 Triptronic system in terms of adding a shift kit to it, though they were happy to service one etc, or provide upgrades for 33, 32, but no valve body upgrades for the Triptronic from them. Hence, MV Autos in SA. I'm not that savvy, all I am is adept with lurking these forums and /search. I've been told the issues are due to the R34 NA and Turbo being wildly different behind the scenes, they can't actually get the car going well enough to get a reading from the ECU re: Error codes and the car is constantly in limp mode. Even though all the wiring has been changed, I've been told it's due to an issue with the dash, and that it may not be possible at all. I would have thought that if you change the engine, ecu, and all the wiring between all the components and the transmission with the turbo gear, it should actually work, considering it is infact now a factory turbo car. But what do I know

I absolutely agree with you on that one.

Oh that's been done, including the whole turbo wiring loom, ecu, engine, everything. Apparently it still doesn't happen, though. Is an auto, apparently this changes everything. Even though the parts were all auto parts they were replaced with. Nice to know after you pay for brakes, engine, exhaust, ecu, loom, box taken out, sent to SA, got shift kit done by MV autos, back in, etc. I need some kind of new emoticon. Edit: correct emoticon is this:

I've had my car off the road 8 months for a shop trying to get a N/A R34 turned into a turbo one by way of replacing.. apparently f**king everything and still maybe "not possible" Epic. So who knows, maybe I'll sell you mine for $5 and just wish you luck with it.

Just got off the phone to mechanic that must remain unnamed... found out it may "Just not be possible" to fix my car in the fashion desired, after 8 months (need to update sig!) Never knew it was so hard to put a turbo engine into a NA R34 and get it all to work, wouldnt think so after reading here /minor rant

I feel for you

I would totally buy this if I could find someone to buy my piece of sh... lovely R34 GTT.

Gold.

Reading this thread (Digging up threads = searching, har har!) I ended up feeling slightly curious. If the R35 has 290 awkw and weighs 1740kg, and can get 3.5's you would think surely a 300rwkw GTT/GTST would be well under high 4's given they have the same power and weigh a couple of hundred k's lighter provided they don't lose traction I am curious to read what Joeyjoejoe/hamish's car actually gets as he said it pulls 285rwkw and doesnt lose any traction in first... Obviously its not only power and weight and traction that matter, would it simply be the extra (obviously a lot extra) low down and mid range torque to produce figures like 3.5 in a R35? Shorter gear ratio? What do 300-400awkw R32-33-34's get to 100kmh provided traction is no problem? Suppose it would depend massively on how responsive their relative setups are. 100% suspension based? Bit of both? Curious minds want to know, and prefer to dig up old threads then generate new ones.

Highflow is not really a bad idea if you want to (try) to avoid being raped by the EPA. Same also applies to ECU's. That said if you aren't in vic, or your car is track only then get whatever you want Or you could get a GTR. Most would say that the best money spent on upgrading a GTT or GTST is by selling it and buying a GTR

I personally prefer the R33 GTR over the 32 by leaps and bounds. Personal taste tho

I recently got a similar response from Trent re: Highflow injectors. Creatd do them for $85 an injector. (Recommended by Trent) Again, the vibe I got was they can be hit or miss. I don't know if the ones from Creatd are hit or miss, mind you. Failing that, are there any other injectors that look stock to the ones in a RB25DET Neo?

wtb, that is all

Was about to say this too, Squire's loft in Docklands is a steal for a $30-50 steak. If you want to go a little less try the lamb for $27 or something you absolutely won't regret it.

Even these games become rather tedious. I am referring to FPS shooters like Q3 (UT99/UT3 more so) where things like movement are extremely important, the action is fast paced and requires precision and skills in a lot of different areas to do well in. "realism" games hamper this. Can you dodge jump off a wall and hit someone with a headshot right across the map while moving at 200mph and have the game not impede your *actual* accuracy? No. Hell, you cant even move and fire straight. You cant even move fast. Hell you cant even fire accurately when sitting completely still. Do you need strategy to move around maps and time powerup respawns and control the game? No. This however, results in utter destruction of newbies to these games, so the better it is for hardcore players the more daunting it is for newcomers - Which filter through to watered down games that they can do some damage or get some kills in. Cue CS and/or everything that followed it. Good for the masses, good for "teamplay" (as individual skill is throttled so badly, its so very required to gain any kind of advantage vs the other team), but suffers once you hit the ceiling, badly. Quakelive manages this pretty well with its skill rating system, but perhaps too little too late, this kind of skill matching system really needed to exist back when these games were the norm. No-one likes going 0 kills and 148 deaths in a 15 minute game. Lol. Truth.

Hate to ask a really obvious question here (yes, I searched). How far can stock airbox + awesome panel filter actually go? Numbers suggested seem to be around the 250rwkw mark - Can they go further? Is there a general accepted value? Asking for my own selfish reasons ofc - R34 RB25DET Neo if that makes any difference whatsoever. Would be nice to find out to help decide where to go re:highflow.

Cool, my car will be at RE for this one, and the dyno night previously... If a lovely SAU'er could just destroy it for me so I can claim it on insurance it would be appreciated!

Play this game on Insanity, it increases the fun of it tenfold for a multitude of reasons. Dramatic game music usually means you're actually in a pickle badly. Makes you have to really think to use abilities, etc. Played as infiltrator (continued from ME1) Dumped Ashley and went with Tali after Horizon Decided to not kill half the geth Let Cerberus have the Collector base Killed Samara and kept Morrinth Managed to save everyone on the team (sent Legion in the pipes, Leader of both teams was Garrus, sent Mordin back with the crew, chose Miranda and Tali for the final fight)
