Whats The Damage So Far? & Where Does It End?

[qikstagea]

HOKAY!!!

from the first post of mine in this thread.. things have progressed but a little. Focal S-series speaker in each door, SPL of 142.2dB, enough to win 2 trophies at the local show. One for best SPL >500RMS, one for best import - for teh second time in a row.

The R34 GTR N1 vents are now in the front bar.

My $10k Loan has been approved by CUA. This will cover paint, airbag susp, wheels, HF Turbo, injectors, Z32 AFM, FMIC from GK Tech, and redone stereo install with custom box. ECU has been added to backburner, see what happens with PFC's.

Centre console to be painted same white pearl as bottom half of car, as are the inserts replacing the cloth in the door trims, and the instrument cluster and fibreglass spkeakerbox and amp mounting panels.

Like it a lot.

haha jealous much...? its getting out of hand hey. paint is next. jsut sold my old wheels and tyres for $1k. movin along....

definately utilise a safc or some engine semi-management system whilst pondering the full computer option, or probably best bet for you might be to remap the ecu.

[qikstagea]

with the SAFC and others (profec, etc, im not sure) what controls what? how much of the engine managemnt programming do these computers take over...? ie boost settings, a/f ratios... ignition timing..?

Which option would be best in the long run? im not going to go any further than the mods listed, would i even NEED to go anything more technical than a remapped factory ecu or a profec/safc???

Car goes in to have GKtech FMIC fitted, and the Nismo bodykit painted and fitted on monday, as well as having front bar repainted after having GTR rectangle vents added (and cracks from careless driving repaired). Will be in for a week, apparently the hardest thing will be matching the paint colour. have asked for an extra litre or two to be kept inside, for som interior highlighting, and future touch ups if needed. Will post pics when its done!

Also waiting on suspension from SK to arrive, cant wait.

mmm thaught u had a gazillion dollars in fines to pay

[qikstagea]

Well i had 9k sitting aside, which was to pay for jays car. which easily covered it with some left over. was a matter of a) buy jays car, and go to jail for not paying fines or b) pay my fines and clear my credit cards, then spend the remainder finishing my half-done bodykit.

I dont even think its possible to rack up $9k in fines...

So will keep it to around 10psi (will try 12, lol, and see where R&R hits) until the retune of the safc/sitc hopefully over new years.
