yeah thanks for the input, but as i said, it is for my bf's car, and whether he NEEDS it or not lol, he WANTS it :D , so it makes choosing a christmas present that much easier for me....yay

And as far as him loving me for it...yeah lol, that will be the day. He's never even told me i look pretty :) .

Thanks for the replies guys you have been so helpful. i've ordered the greddy in the silver...so i'll let you know if he likes it or not...i will probably give it to him before christmas so he can have fun installing it.

The shift lights, i dont think he likes the 'pro' with the 3 lights...he reckons that the two warning lights would be useless...anyone have any thoughts? what is the benefit of them?

But i have to say, the pro is my favourite, i reckon it looks pretty cool personally...hmm

then kick him to the curb. then you won't have to waste money buying presents that he doesn't need.

as for turbo timers, if you thrash the car then just pull up, you make think that you are doing good by leaving the timer on, but there is little air going through the radiator, the brakes are sitting in the 1 spot, putting all their heat into the 1 spot. you are best off doing a lap around the block driving normally so that cool air goes through the radiator, and the brakes can cool down.

well with the pro the 3 lights come on in stage as you approach redline. so if redline is say 8000rpm you would have 7700rpm 1st light, 7800rpm 2nd light, 7900rpm all 3 lights. so basically they just give you a little more time to react. but if he doesn't like them just get the M. it's cheaper anyway :D

i completely understand what you are doing. guys, stop trying to disuade her from buying a turbo timer for her boyfriend. he wants one. she wants to buy him a gift. let's leave it at that.

if my girlfriend wanted a hermes hand bag for christmas. I'm not going to suggest a plastic shopping bag will do a better and cheaper job. I'll just buy her the handbag and know that she likes it.

and you should make your boyfriend tell you that you're smoking hot at least once a day. or else forget turbo timer shopping, start man shopping! haha (jokes).

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
