Hey guys,

Thought I'd post some pics of the car now its back from DMD. I can't recomend these guys enough. I dropped the car off to them on the Friday, Monday was a public holiday here in QLD and I had the car back by 1pm the following Friday. They were very good on price. If anyone wants to know PM me as I don't want to give anyone false ideas on quotes. But considering I had them fit the kit and repair heaps of other things from descent size dings and scratches right up to the little stuff and some rust under the mirrors. They even put little mesh inserts in the gills on the side skirts. There was a good portion of the car that would have had to be sprayed to blend it all I'm guessing. I was so surprised to get it back when I did, all polished (then it fu*king rained before I could even get it out of their driveway, shouldn't complain about rain though :rofl: ).

The pics dont' do it justice and the kit (which AMS supplied, again at a good price) lined up perfectly and there are no nasty gaps or anything. But incase you were wondering whats with the big strip of masking tape going from the wing to under the hatch door. The next day after I picked it up I noticed the wing was pretty crooked, but I took it in today with out booking it in and they got a couple of guys onto it straight away while I waited. Took about 30mins and the tape is just holding in place till tomorrow when I can pull it off again.

Now it just needs some wheels (the stock ones really let it down) but I'm pretty sure I know what I want and they'll have plenty of dish.

Very nice :)

If they good at blending paint colours...then I might get them do around my mirrors. Nothing like positive feedback from others!!

The blending is perfect. I've had a look in as many different lights as possible since I got it back and I can spot any difference. They did one of my mirrors too. Again perfect blending. Plus for a pretty high profile and well known workshop it was refreshing to see how helpful and friendly they were. Considering some of the cars they had in there where the owners would have been spending thousands of dollars (there is a series 6 rx7 getting r34 gtr taillights fitted :D for eg.) I didn't expect to be that much of a priority. The only reason I went with them is that I had to pick the car up from there and decided to get a quote. After expecting a stupid high quote I was really surprised, and even more when I had the car back within a week inc. a public holiday. And it looks like I'll be getting my wheels through them too as they offered a discount when I decide what I want.

i like the rear

but the vents on the side, and the fact the rear is lower than the front throws me off

and something is missing on the bumper...but i cant put my hand on it

But honestly, it looks good.

get yourself some 17 or 18x9s +15ish offsets and it woudl be AWESOME

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
