I think you misunderstood. I wasnt saying that autos are slow and that only pansys drive them, I was saying erics car is basically the same mods done as mine, and ive got faster times, with the only difference being the gearbox as I can launch better with the clutch and manual box.

And I wasnt having a go at anyone, just saying in comparision

Well change of plans again (feel like a yoyo) able to get a conversion kit fron the toy shop over in sydney for 2600 deliverd to xspeed.

the problem is i can decide which way to go

1. manual conversion, new clutch for 3800

or

2. power fc, shift kit, blitz spec s boost controller for 4000

need help :) will be ordering next monday!!

you are aware the power fc doesnt work with the auto properly ? this will limit you to interceptor devices such as the safcII or emanage .

if you search the forced induction forum theres a few dozen threads on it

complete manual conversion kit sourced (from another company in adelaide)and will be paid for on monday, week and a half wait for it to come over, car goes in to workshop auto, comes out manual :lol: then goes over pits :O

then to the drags for that 13

only downside is it will cost about 800 bux more than thought

still worth it

well conversion done finally, feels great. just got to get my speedo sorted out on friday and go over the pits and thats it :whoops: . cost alot more than expected (4700 with safc tune) but i think its worth it. got alot more power out of it, went from 215rwhp to 255.8rwhp.

now where is that drag strip??!! :O

Josh, SAFC2 was tuned previously also when the auto gearbox was in to give him the first figure. The only difference is the gearbox between tunes, correct me if im wrong Eric..

Miller, about the same.. 3"turbo back, pod, fmic, 10psi = 257rwhp

Eric (Pal) has same mods, but a filter element in airbox instead of pod filter

settle guys, went to the pits today and its all good news exept one thing. He said they will only look at the modification done eg make sure the gearbox, peddles, clutch etc is put in properly. bugga have A&Z Blitz 17" by 8" rims -no good only allowed 7" (thanks to tyre power for telling me that)

hmmmmm my car came out factory with 8 inch rims and they are legal 16x 8 factory standard so i can legaly have 17 x 8 rims on it

the dpi says that ya can only have max 7 inch wide rims if your car came out with rims less than 7 inches wide .

if your car came out with an 8 inch wide rim you can not go any wider but u can go up in height copys my post from imports 101 site lol

Alternative road wheels

Alternative road wheels are permitted under the following conditions :

Rim width must not exceed the maximum rim width specified by the manufacturer by more than 25mm (1") (for passenger vehicles manufactured after 1st January 1973, the manufacturers rim width shall be taken as that specified on the tyre placard).

In any event, rim width shall not exceed 177.8 mm (7") unless specified by the manufacturer as standard equipment for the vehicle in question. No increase in rim width is permitted for vehicles fitted with original equipment rims in excess of 177.8 mm (7") width

ok,

i have stock turbo runnin 12psi,fmic,3"cat back stock front pipe and split pulse dumpa,k&n panel filter, safc2

had the safc tuned bafore fmic went on at 215rwhp, at a guess went to 220-225rwhp without a retune of safc. with gearbox and retune of safc went to 255.8.

as for the price of gearbox

parts come to $3000(america sucking up parts and hard to get, prices for conversion kits go through the roof)also my tailshaft cost 300 cause i have abs and they are hard to get(so ive been told).

to fit 1550(includes new extreme clutch)some machining, bits and pieces and about 10hrs labour

standard 150 for dynotune for safc2

thats about it :)

i dont think i could have got that out of mine, it just wouldnt respond to anything else. im happy with what i got now, i drive it every day and if i go for anymore power it becomes less reliable and fuel costs start going up, now it time to spend on maintenance.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
