hahah

I'm about to do the same thing - go from about 170 to about 220 to 230. It's almost a 30% increase so it should be good.

I also would like to know how much of a difference it will be. I realise the boost wont come on quite as quick (will be using GCG high flow)..

The way I see it I will lose a bit from 2000rpm to about 3500rpm but after that it will be ++..

So I lose power over 1500rpm to gain 3500rpm (i.e. from 3500-7000rpm)

Cheers

Im contemplatig the same power figure as it a cheaper option than my mechanics recommndation which will give me 260+rwkw.

Those with around 230rwkw can u give soem sort of idea of wha tits like to drive? is ther emore wheelspin? is the extra power more useable? etc thanks.

good point. ive ran cars with more power than me and beaten them due to them wheelspinning. they get really pi$$d off lol

yes its a big jump but no its not scary...

but you need to know how to control a car thats sideways.

as soon as i got my license i got into rallying.

(state level) i only used a cheap dato 1600 but the years i spent on dirt sideways have done me well.

im now above 300kws and its still not scary.

you just have to use your head more then your right foot. i mean where can you use 250kws????

you cant on the road. within .5 second your at the speed limit so why do you need any more?

in saying that

because its fun and the feeling of opening her up takes my breath away every time.

so enjoy 230 while your there and use it as a learning curve towards 250 , 270 , then 300 and beyond.

cheers

Yeah gets boring quickly. I have 270rwkw and am trying to resist the temptation to go for 300+.

and thats the rub. It will feel qucik for a while then you'll want more. You'll stop renting p0rno and buying maccers to save for that oil pressure guage, then you'll stop hanging out at the pub on Fridays cause if you save that money you can afford that front mount , always chasing that first buzz....WHERE WILL IT END MAN.WHERE!!!

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
