As someone who tweaks a tune all the time, I would absolutely love to avoid plugging a laptop in every single time, waiting for it to boot up, etc etc etc and plug in. Seriously I am bemused that in 2015(2016!) every major ECU (Haltech, etc) don't have some kind of USB/Bluetooth adaptor you can use, or a phone/android/iOS app to make minor changes on.

Also when you think about it, a tune is required if you do anything that is going to affect air or fuel into the engine. So yeah, adding boost, changing intercooler, and changing exhaust all do these things, some to a bigger extent than others. And yes as above you can only tune the car if there is a way to actually edit the computer to account for the changes. This requires an aftermarket computer/ECU or a Piggyback or Chip to make the stock computer programmable easily (i.e Nistune). If there's no tuners nearby, it's absolutely worth getting all the mods done at once where there is a tuner available to tune them after they're on the car.

Hey mate Still have bonnet and front guards. Not sure what you mean by aero panel? Do you mean the plastic liner behind the guard? I do have that as well. Sadly don't have a steering rack, I do have two exhausts though and a turbo, no need to steer when you're going faster

I bought another daily in the meantime.

This is not the R34, just for a car that I can actually drive around, still rego'ed, still runs fine, etc, just old. All the electrics work and the interior is fine. Seems like a shame to scrap it, but it may be worth more doing that and cashing in insurance and reg than trying to sell it.

Anyone know a reasonable contact for junking/wrecking a car? Googling results in a billion options. Are they all the same? /srs

Someone else buy this shizzle!

I guess I need 1200hp now

What could possibly go wrong?

People have been telling me to give up on the 25 and buy a R32 GTR. They don't really understand when I say "this is not a great idea..."

They knew what he was

Would be pretty happy with a LS anything right now! Also would be happy with an anything right now..

Alternately: Found out my "blown head gasket" is actually a cracked block... 7000kms after the build. $12,000 to fix like last time and 6 months+ Also stock neo, $2500-3k. mmmmmmmm...

The concept isn't a bad one. It's like working 3 12 hour days a week for 36 hours and then having 4 days off, just on a grander scale. What if it was 10%, instead of 20%? Having a year paid off ain't such a bad idea, because unlike the VWL regular elite most don't actually plan that well because life tends to get in the way.

Strange, the people I've seen get tunes on that dyno, and Racepace dyno, and Springy Motors dyno, were all within ~1kw of one another. People need to setup their engines to the maximum tractive effort supported by their tyres. Anything else is slower unless you're on the track and frequently 80-200+ kmh which is the only time you will start clawing back the car lengths you lost to the guy who makes 270rwkw when you make 500rwkw. The limit of current road tyres on the back of your average JDM car is about 280rwkw anyway. Wanting that extra ~10kw is just dumb. Every time I drive anything else and I can just floor it in the hills and have fun in it I have ragrets. I had more fun hooting around in a MX5 on BC's and tyres with the roof off in a sunny day with a pretty girl than I reckon I've ever had in a 400+rwkw R34.

Also "If you get water in your system, your car is gonna think that water is SUPER ETHANOL" and act accordingly... when it isn't.

Seems to be any setup that deviates from what they were designed on has some probs. Noticed it a lot when Tao was putting his Turbos onto the SR20 when he had the S14, things that worked fine in one setup just did not work at all on other setups, even his own cars. Not really surprising that others have issues when their setups are different. (like my RB28 ) For a hiflow on a RB you can't really go wrong with HG though. Then again, are there real options besides GCG for that kind of thing?

Yep, I made 400 (+? it is an auto after all) on the Blitz return flow. Which, from the outside looks exactly like the cooling pro one. But as mentioned, it could be very different internally. Or, perhaps there's a correlation between people who choose cheap intercoolers and other setup issues or corners cut elsewhere. nfi. Also yes, while I used E85 in my setup with the Blitz, it made well, well, well over 300+ on 98. Enough that the intercooler didn't even think to become a restriction at all. I never pushed the boost or timing on the 98 tune, it was there just to drive around on when E85 wasn't available. Point being though, "you can't make more than 250 on a return flow intercooler" is false.

As someone with the Deluxe Sydneykid setup, I am curious to see how well it works out for you, as MCA do quite know their stuff on the track! Though it doesn't look so bad in the video, but you can't see how it 'feels' when trying to throw the weight around.

This is what I still have - And up. Feel free to offer me. I also have a set of coilovers for a R34, they are "New SR Specials" which are considerably firmer than stock, and will pass a RWC. Useful for say, passing a RWC but they are pretty high, ride considerably better than stock though. $180? I also have a cat back exhaust from a sedan which admittedly is ugly as f**k but pretty quiet and flowed 400+RWKW. It has twin mufflers, happy to let this one go for a few hundred/offer me something. I don't know if it'd fit a coupe - But could be easily modified considering it's physically sitting at scotty nm35's place.

Me too, was an odd quote to make in the first place..

You can get a lot of flavour in a burger from things that aren't the pattie, sauces, relishes and all that jazz. The best chicken burgers out there are great, and chicken doesn't have a great deal of flavour. Its possible, I guess?
