the FAKE fmic looked so f###ed that who ever walked past that car at that time laughed at it rather then appreciating it, those pipings look like regular pipings that you buy from Bunnings for 99cents a metre on special.

1/ Bunnings don't have specials :P

2/ What do you think ic piping made from? Mine are just regular, mid steel mandrel bends.

You have missed th epoint that some ppl like to ice up (or do up) a car that they have or just want to be differnet.

Maybe they don't wanna spend money on performance but want a cheap stand out car.

Remember, some ppl have no clues. haha

I know of people who have turbo'd non turbo cars, only to gain 190kw at the front wheels - pointless IMO, but they love it.

Truth be known, the 50k spent on it could buy you a very good R33 GTR example.

Horses for courses I guess. The orld would be boring if every man and his dog poured $ into Skylines - even though these are my preferred fun car.

this thing does enter autosalon comps....was in the semi final I was at end of last year. YES it is the chick that owns it on the bonnet, AND it won best airbrushed car from memory...or at least runner up.

I thought it was deffinatly in the "why whould you" catigory.....but each to there own I guess.....

thats actually like a big airfilter made to look like an intercooler. It is hooked up, but works on the same principal as a huge pod filter. Ive seen heaps on Pulsars getting round. They get em at autobarn i think?

still.........why would you????

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
