how much do you think your gtr is worth mark, to sell for cash??? how much do you think lee's silvia is worth, to sell for cash??? if both those numbers come in at 7k difference...and if thats the car you want...then go for it, otherwise be patient.

specs of said cars (what turbo did they have) and what boost they were running? Also who tuned their cars...it's not as hard as you think it is...the cars must have something lacking, ie. Rich afr's (bad tuning), low boost, or other such problems because i've seen 1000 cars with similar to the above mods make 250+ and thats on all sorts of different dynos.

I agree but there will be no difference until they stuff up so why waste the money until you need to..not like lack of ignition one day is going to damage your engine...but hey it wont do any harm putting them in, im just talking in the interest of money....if money isn't important I can write a much longer list to give you much better results. btw I ran splitfires and they were good, but they are no different to stock unless your running big boost and high horsepower.

how much is change over??

ok, well as subzero33 has mentioned splitfires wont be necessary for you UNLESS you are having problems with your coils atm. If you want a new ecu then an Apexi PFC will probably be your best avenue (buy one soon Apexi Japan has filed for bankrupty and PFC have ceased production), however you would be able to get away with something along the lines of the SAFC you already have. Your turbo selection will be critical but you wont want anything too big as you want usable power, so something along the lines of a 25/30 would probably be fine. There are countless numbers of turbo companies who make turbos of this size including, HKS, Trust (greddy), Apexi etc. (Garrett make the turbo housings for a lot of these companies) the wheels are made by the actual companies. You will be able to keep your standard manifold (possibly need an adaptor plate)As far as cams go, they would probably be unesessary because the turbo you'll run wont be too laggy. You will need injectors and probably a new fuel pump as mentioned. Get cam gears so you can adjust the your timing. You'll need a boost controller (if you get a PFC you'll buy the boost kit, if not) any decent electronic one will do. Basicly you don't need a lot to get to 250rwkw and with your torque worries if you dont get a huge turbo with mass lag it wont matter as you'll be on boost before you know it.

fair enough, well until someone decides that this should be moved....what is your budget?

quick word of advice, id go to forced induction and post this....or do some research in there, there is a lot of good info in the numerous threads there. A lot of things will depend on your turbo choice and budget.

can we get a 1j conversion done in a day??? lol How good is this mechanic?

still left with a useless car...would rather do that with a tough rx7 or something...the mx5 is a hairdressers car...we've established that at great length already....see the mike thread as reference.

looks alright...

you saying ebay is dodgy....OMG!! lol

sawft, not road registerable...

your joking about whats wrong with public schools aren't you? The kids that got through the private schools and couldn't read, write or add up must have had parents with a lot of money, as most of the respectable schools would of kicked them out at the first opportunity. It reflects badly on the school to have bogans/dumbasses there. Problem with the public schools are usually: a) The teachers aren't as good, why? they get payed less, makes sense that the better teachers go to private schools and hence get payed more. Fact. b) In public schools the classes are all mixed whether your smart or hopeless hence the bogans try to distract the class, therefor less learning. c) Bogans can be kicked out of public schools for no reason, this doesn't and cannot occur in public schools. Note that this isn't always the case and there are probably quite a few decent public schools... Long story short, private schools ftw.

link to said hoist!!!

sif no photoshop...

tertiary lol, what are you studying Mark??

Start-up would be expensive, but it's a rather good idea....for the amount of drive days you get I think it's a relative bargain, with the correct publicity it will probably do very well.

bed time...night sau.

rofl indeed....if i didn't make 14sec's i think i'd cry..

i'm here..

RON: *doing bicept curls* "Oh, Miss Corningstone, I wasn't expecting company. Just doing my workout. Tuesday's arms and back." VERONICA: "Well you asked me to come by. RON: "Oh, did I?" VERONICA: "YES" RON: *grasps arm* "Oh, it's the deep burn! Oh, it's so deep. I can barely lift my right arm 'cause I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting. I did over 1000. You have your ubulus muscle that connects to the upper dorsinus. It's boring, but it's part of my life. I'm just gonna grab this shirt, if you don't mind. Just watch out for the guns. They'll get you."

bahahaha it was worth starting this thread just for the hilarious old movie highlights!! RON: *doing bicept curls* "Oh, Miss Corningstone, I wasn't expecting company. Just doing my workout.
