btw, if ur getting 1 that uses the stock pipes then there will be basically no diff in throttle respomse. I have a hybrid 1 which has much longer piping than stock and i only noticed atiny bit... and even then i think it may have been psychological

I'm glad you asked.

First tank - 12.85L/100km

Second tank - 12.6L/100km

Overall this seems about the same as what it was doing prior to the mods (obviously I'm putting my foot down a little more than usual given the newness of my extra power).

This is city driving. Driving to work, start stop traffic, 40-70-80km/h zones.

Will be interesting to see a highway cycle.

that's pretty good considering i get around the same with a DEAD stock car. So more power, and same fuel economy, sounds good to me :P

yeah, see how you go with non-spirited driving. If you can get into the 11's, that would be crazy. The modifications would start paying for themselves :D

i'm looking for the 200rwkw's too, and have the almost the exact same exhaust mods (waiting to go on car) So this is a tops thread!

so roughly how much in total did the tuning cost?

$750 for the tune. I was quoted cheaper but I went with what I thought was 'the best'. Of course, I've got nothing to compare this to so I don't really know.

One thing I've noticed is my take-off isn't as smooth as it used to be, but I'm being very picky about it and it's easy to just rev it a little more and it's fine. Right now I've just adjusted my driving style slighty. I guess a 2 days tune cannot compare to the millions of dollars of research Nissan has probably spent getting it right.

It's very possible I'll get better than stock fuel economy. The fuel mixtures are very conservative stock and are much leaner on cruise now.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
