hehee... shure hope so....... um the reason for the upgrade was this one was goin quite cheap, hope for not the wrong reasons and she seems to have most of my options but in an s2 so triptronic and all the other bits. it sad but good there gettin cheaper. sucks cos i wont be gettin f all for my s1 but good cos the new one is only gona cost a bit more than my s 1 did 1.5 years ago. wat do you reckon a s1 in good condition is worth fully optioned with minor mod. might have to sell it back to the yard from whence she came but i got 6 weeks to try and sell her as my newbie is still in japan

neo and triptronic was the main reason. was just about to pour a few more grand into my s1 and one of them was to lower her and the s2 looks way low, the other was to get my nismo kit fitted and painted so i figgure the money i save can justify the upgrade..... my gf aint to happy though but she seems to nice to say no

you've done well - it looks damn nice!! :laugh:

good luck with the sale, and with the new car :)

Does it feel any different to drive? It looks like it has modified (lowered) suspension so I guess you cant really do a fair s1 to s2 comparison. :)

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
