Yeah there isnt that many places to really open the car up in the hills (best left for the track anyway!!)

Are you buying privately, or through an importer?

Other Mods:

Apexi GT Spec FMIC

Apexi Turbo (380hp)

Apexi PowerFC

Apexi Boost Control Solenoid

Apexi N1 Coil-overs

3" Exhaust (Turbo Back)

High flow Cat

Bigger injectors (550cc or 700cc, not sure)

Aftermarket Fuel Pump

Standard Coils (For now...)

etc.. etc.. etc..

Through an importer mate.. Here in SA. Keep missing out on 33's now.. after initally wanting a Type X 180sx.

Oh well keep bidding and ill find one i guess.. Pretty much everything on your mod list i want.. bar the n1 coils.. i think ill go TEINS, maybe SARD 550ci injectors and hybrid FMIC/GTR even.

Sweet.. Well you'd probably have more luck finding a 33 than a 180sx. There is millions around now... Have you thought about buying through a Melb or Syd importer and shipping the car to you? You may save a bit of money, and they would also have more eyes at the auctions to find the car thats right for you.. Just a thought.

Cheers bud.

Im loyal to my importer as he is a friend of a friend..

Im really not that fussed about the $$ So long as i pick up an extremely clean example.

Trouble with type x's are they r rare as because they only came out 96-98 with the kits.

Still sellin for a dime in japan!

Wow - under 10:1 AFR..

Did you notice black smoke coming out the back or any black marks on the rear bumper?

Well guess what. I had my car at the tuner shop for 3 f**king hours. He charged me $300 (plus the other 2 1 hour tunes he "performed" recently before that)

and the f**kwit came up with this result.

NOw the car has a GT30, 500cc Injectors, powerfc and datalogit, exhaust and fmic, etc etc. Should be making 260rwkw.

See the dip in that torque curve? Hooking up my mates AFR revealed that it was running at 9:1 at that point.

And this tuner is supposed to be good? My f**ken ass.

tune it yourself. it cant be that hard. sydneykid has explained it before so do a search on his username for "dyno" or something and you should find it, was about 9 months ago. or road trip to melb and get it sorted :)

eww... that bites man! tell him to give your money back and go elsewhere. I know you might not have too much choice in your area, but screw getting charged that much for a shitty tune :)

dude, his af's are near perfect. around 11.8:1, probably just on the safe side of things, which is what you want. i would be extremely happy with a tune, power curve, price of tune like that on my car.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
