Micolour at 7 Dissik Street in Cheltenham (03) 9555 8011.

Repaired all the numerous dints my car collected over its life and did a full respray. I and a number of other people here on the forums would agree that Mick does great work (esp on 32's)

good luck in your choice

cheers Calvin

Thanks again,

NAW that sucks!

I myself being a P plate driver would have to say watch out,

and i myself am a good driver, but yesterday my friend just got her licence and came to pick me up,

she has a little mirage and ita a manual, every time we took of from the lights she smoked her tires! ALL cause she cant drive manual, i thought we wore going to die. but yeah if she got in to a tricky situation we would be six feet under for sure!

i dont no how she got her licence! haha SHIT

Now she is on the road im turning my licence in haha

Hey mate,

ha ha, nahh i've got nothing against P-platers either, because i am one lol

I'm not quite sure what he was doing, maybe he got distracted by his passenger or had a spasm in his right foot ha ha.... meh, what happened is done so there wasn't much point getting angry at the poor guy :), plus he is being really nice about the whole situation so i don't hold any grudges

lol, fair enough. Yeah i have a friend like that too, so far she has written off two cars, the second crash she was luckey to get out ;)

Speaking of your licence, i read ya thread, tough break. I've been in the same situation too, just be careful and you you'll be fine :)

Thanks for the kind words,

+1 for Police Road Panels. They did a fantastic job on my Subie. Good as new.

Police rd Panels in mulgrave, near the spagetti junction.. they do just car insurance work so they deal with imports often..

Gday all,

For those who are still interested in my little saga, I've got some great news!!! I picked up the 32 from B.Lacey's this morning and happy to report its in great nick! :P

The quote was originally $500, but when I dropped the car in about 4 days later on the computer screen i noticed that it jumped to $770.....ahh well, just as well i wasn't paying for it eh :sorcerer:

Anyway, now for the fun stuff......

Here are a few pics maybe a day or two after the accident, please forgive the dirtiness, just wasn't in the mood for cleaning it ha ha

Damage3.jpg

And here are the pics from this morning, i guess the pictures speak for themselves, i am extremely happy with how it turned out, and they even fixed up that nasty scratch above the wheel arch at the same time (i think this scratch happened while it was coming into the country)

They also had also cleaned the inside of the car and provided me with some touch up paint which was nice of them.

Anywayz, just wanted to say a huge thank you for everyones suggestions & advice, it means a lot!! :)

Best regards,

Sean

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
