HKS intake manifold?

Not a Greddy one?

And I would at least take it and check the AFR's. If it's a Greddy like mine (well rip off version) then your changing the airflow into the engine, so it may or may not affect the tune. I had mine tuned after Plenum got installed, but I was running Power FC before this. Stock ECU is pretty safe with AFR's etc. Just get it checked out

my bad its a hks exhaust manifold haha

I would do work on other people's cars but have been f**ked over in the past and most people piss me off because they see my other projects i've done in the past then they go aahhh that's nice!!!! and want the same thing done to there ride then expect you to it on a shoe string budget and want it done yesterday. I'm sorry but they just ain't gonna fly with me my builds take months sometime years, if you want me to build a car your gonna have to have deep pockets and be committed. Plus it takes time away from my project cars so yeah couldn't be f**ked really doesn't pay well enough for me, rather do and overtime at work. But hey happy enough to help with advice and tooling and shit like that.

That's sort of what happened last weekend, Leon is pretty trusting- He finished the job after 4 hours on my comp rod bushings and told me to take it for a drive to make sure it was sweet. I could of easily f**ked off with the car and never seen him again, but i told him to come with me and i was happy so i paid up!

Not the sort of thing you would want to do anyway. Doing that to any business, will only end up costing you more. Only costs $80 to lodge a small claims case.

I got bitten tuning cars early on, hence why I have an ABN and do it more business like now. There are so many assholes out there that think they can just walk away without paying. I've always done a great job and never had a complaint so if someone tried to screw me, I'd take them through small claims just for the principle.

And continuing on from what Ben wrote, this is why I charge for my time. It's half of what all shops charge, but better, and more time and care is taken because I love doing it, and don't do it as my main job. Doing it for free or at too low of a price just gets you burned. And just for the record, all of the so called "mates" that promised services in return never came through. Point proven. People just take shit for granted. Or you get assholes that complain and spread bullshit stories because their eBay turbo that came with a fake 250rwkw dyno sheet only made 190rwkw at anything from 14psi to 24psi, and blame it all on the tuner. Not my problem, learn how to research, dont buy from a kebab shop owner, buy a real turbo.

If you get good service, don't complain, especially if you were dumb enough to but shit hardware.

Wasn't having a go at you Sean, just saying in general.

And i'm certainly not the sort of person that would do something like that!

Yeah Leon's just got an ABN i beleive, i am quite impressed with his garage setup too just thought i'd add that in there.

Also in the way of pricing, i would much rather pay $50 an hour to Leon that pay $115 an hour to Pedders when i don't know who the f**ks going to work on the car and they probably wouldn't fix it properly because they don't know my car AT ALL. All good man i completely agree with what your saying.

My Friend is selling his turbo, dump pipe, intake pipe and exhaust manifold if anyone is interested

Specs:

Garett Gt3037

6 Blade Compressor (The good one)

0.6 Surge slotted Compressor Cover (whistles)

HKS 0.82 Internally Gated Exhaust Housing

Extrusion Honed Standard RB25 Exhaust Manifold (Flows as well as a HKS)

3.5inch dump pipe

4 Inch Intake pipe

The guy is very reliable, and will not f**k you around.

Whole setup has only run about 3000-5000kms.

Made 310rwkw on 18psi, loads of torque and response.

Looking for $1700 ono

the 350z had black mags, probably 18-20 looked somewhat like VE club sport ones haha

You mean like those generic black rims with the silver outline around each spoke that every 2nd commodore owner has on their car? I would be ashamed if i had those on my Z!

Cheap shit cheese cutters they use, then they say i can spin the wheels in 4th sounding all cool and shit, then i say how wide are they? Reply: 235's What brand of tyre? Reply: Nankang. My ride on mower could spin them in 4th you f**kwit go buy some decent shit ffs!!!!! :domokun: f**king Falcodore drivers are retarded.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
