from experience you need a bottomless wallet and the patience of a saint lol> low 11's 340awkw>25k+

high 10's 400awkw>35k+

The moral of the story is if your 13.0 sec stocko is boring you then sell it and buy something that has already had lots spent on it and on the way to the 11's you want :P

Agreed Iv seen NOS do the same-Iv also seen NOS blow the shit out of a fair few engines cause a lot of people dont know how to set it up and have a lean out.

Better to spend the dollars and have a proper 11 sec car that can run 11's all night without drama-and that will mean also to upgrade gearbox strenght especially in R32(cause of the age). My choice was the OS Gikon "cross mission" set-it will take the punishment-unlike the factory synchros

However, if you want to run it consistantly, I would go the Power FC/injectors/pump/exhaust/clutch etc.

You can't run consistent 11's using Nitrous Oxide?

I used to run NOS and its great-but what i mean is when the NOS runs out so does the fun-Id rather a car that can run the 11 without it :D

id prefer to have a car like adrians that you can drive on the street without the gas still get good mileage, be a breeze for any one to step into and drive down to get the milk and bread, and then be able to go to the track turn te bottle on and run 11's all night, turn the bottle off and drive it home.

ive seen more 10 ans 11sec cars no running the bottle break more often then cars that run it. my engines a stocker with 189000k's on it and i run a 36 shot at the track and ive never had a problem. its all about the tuners ability to whether you have problems. like most car modifications 60% of people try to do it on the cheap and in the long run things break and it costs them more.

my bottle lasts me for around 40 full noise passes so i have filled it 3 times in a year at $50 a fill. thats cartainly a lot cheaper than cams, plenum, TB, etc

im all for the GAS

Simple answer to this thread,

There is no "easy" way to run consistant and reliable 11's, it takes time and money, regardless of what car/engine package you have.

Quit dreaming, make a plan and work through it until you reach your goal... 11's.

EDIT: Unless you have 140K+ to spend on some exotic :D

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
