Mmm, decisions, decisions.

Its a bugger trying to decide on a IC kit when your a newbie.

I am still leaning towards the V-SPL due to its low price at the moment, it can probably be had for $1100 delivered.

I was aware of the trimming involved with the V-SPL for the front bar, nothing that cant be done in a weekend with some helpful hands.

I'm certainly not stuck on jap brands, I just cant find local kits that rival that price?...

sorry rob, I'm in adelaide and darwin till next sunday. Perhaps I can install the cam gear, next sunday in the arvo' , 2:00pm?

Sorry dave, no good. The car will be at SST this friday, saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday.... So we'll have to put the cam gear in after the tune, so it'll have to be re-tuned from the looks.

Hey,

sorry side tracking the thread but I was thinking about buying a HKS exhaust cam gear too but was wondering if you should purchase the intake as well? Do you lose much by not getting a set? Obviously you generally tune it +1 advance intake & -3 retard on exhaust - but the exhaust cam gear mod seems the most important.

Thanks,

Geoff

oh btw r33 gtr

So theres no problems with that VVT time stuff on the inlet or whatever for a GTR rather than some GTS-T r33? Don't reallly know just though that replacing caused problems with the ECU.

So yeah atm im stilling running the stock 'nismo chipped' ECU and not an aftermarket ECU.

How will this affect tuning?

Cheers,

Penfold

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
