First things first...welcome!!! Nice looking car you have there

Crap Isaac!! Alex, just go to your "My Controls" area and change it to whatever you want it to say!!

You can only change that if you are a mamber of the club!!!! I couldnt change mine till I had joined

thanks for the advice, I just go to the gym there and thought i would snap a couple of pics after i washed her today. (Isn't it annoying how many inperfections you find when you wash a car for the first time ?!?!)

Also, I was thinking of putting the car on the dyno just to see how it goes as a starting point and also to check out a noise im hearing (there is a high pitched whistle when the turbo spools up only happens for like a second on full boost between 4000 and 5000rpm i think it is). I rang up FIST performance and they quoted $95, does anyone have any dealings with them to speak of? or anyone else to recommend?

I have only heard very bad things about fist :O

Thanks for the positive comments, there is definately an active community here.

I was actually wondering what they do in a "dyno tune" as opposed to a power run. Is it worth getting a tune if i have just the exhaust and hks pod?

WELCOME WELCOME ALEX! kaos-panda28.gif

FIST... well... as I personally haven't had any work done there, I can't say... but there are things that just don't sit right. They tend to not take things seriously. They will overcharge on items. And they tried to sell me a car which had work done and was tuned, yet still seemed to make piss-poor power figures.

Anyway, welcome, you should come along to Chilleh (it's at ChilLan this week) :mage:

Ciao, Anna xo

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
