HI5! We rock! :no:

seriously though, it shits me when a car has the same colour plates then the car... it shows a complete lack of creativity... it can be hard to read if your running from the cops though...

Hey Heysey,

Sorry - old post but want to say congrats!

I too went from a Skyline (R33 gts-t ser2) to an Audi S4 :(

Done any more mods yet??

I got a little carried away with mine.. Was just about to upgrade turbos but instead had to move overseas for work and thus sell!!

I'm sure you have done a fair bit of research but to give you a better indication.. With just a chip (Giac tho) and cat back exhaust (which almost went the whole way up the car) managed a 13.003 and 1.8s 60ft (first time out to WSID, heavy 19's and a seriously slipping clutch!) Power wise was more like 250 kw's - running 1.55 bar of boost too (would hit 1.55 by about 2250 rpm)

Things you must change - Throttle body boot, BOV's (get rid of the plastic stockies) and you will prob go through a couple of AFM's even with the stock airbox..

Some recommendations:

- C/O's, Sway bars and semi slicks make the thing stick like s%$t to a blanket!!!

- Go Giac chip...

- Get a manual boost control (to smoothen boost from fluctuating)

- Go exhaust from turbo back (lots of work involved tho)

- Upgrading turbos is the way to go (but expect about 10k+ and then some)

- Upgrade you I/C's to RS4 units.. Much better flow and much better cooling

If you haven't spoken to Nils (Milka) on the audi forum already.. I suggest you do.. The amount of times I went to his place for help on little things haha

Ohh one more thing.. I very highly recommend upgrading the centre diff to the Stassis centre diff (for the S4) it sends about 20% more power to the rears and helps a huge amount on reducing understeer and more oversteer - which is needed on this car!!!

Well ive finally stopped driving it long enough to take some pics.... and after having it just over a week now im totally in love... i never knew a car could be so good out of the factory....

as one of my mates put it, this car is over engineered! it hits full boost by 1800rpm, no need for a hard launch, it does 0-100 in 5.5, even less with a chip... the recaros are beautiful, soo comfortable, havent been sore or restless at all, the standard bose sound system is great, the car handles so well i cant think quick enough to keep up with it yet, so throwable into corners, tad of understeer then hard on the gas and the car just sticks and pulls... the dash is soo nice to look at, white on red... just beautiful!

can throw 5 people in the car, still be comfortable, and the car still feels bolted to the road, safe, secure, and farken quick...

ill get it chipped shortly, as the chip improves the performance so much its like bolting a highflow into a stock rb25... just mental!

ill tint it, maybe a subtle exhaust for better breathing, chip, and just polish the body back up to immaculate..

really i couldnt be happier, ive had my fun in the skyline, ill get one to drift in a couple of years... and ill still float around here...

now for the pics!

Hey mate,

hows the os thing going? didnt you sell your S4 before you left?

Ive just stuck a full turbos back exhaust on her, 3.5" dumps to 2.5" split piping all the way back, the power increase is pretty nice and it wants to rev its tits off all the time now! i cant believe the difference its made! but fark it was a pain in the ass to install!!!! ...as for a chip ive been leaning towards GIAC now heard better things about them...

Ive done the TBB, threw an upgraded stock one in there while i waited for the samco one to come so ive even got a spare! ill probs stick 710Ns in just as a precautionary measure..

Coilovers are definately on the cards, just tossing up how much i want to spend etc, im thinking H&R ones from the states going for $1200 ish..

sways are in order!

semi slicks.. hmmm

i want to make it handle a bit better, dont have the cash to blow on turbos just yet! she does have 120km on it so they will prob go in the next year or so, then ill get serious on the engine work and make her an animal! with the ICs, ive almost been tossing up a front mount kit...

havent spoken to Nils yet but i will shortly...

ill post some updated pics with the tints and the awesome detail that was done on her makes it look alot better.. now for some B6 S4 rims or BBS Ch and coilovers :D

yours looked tidy as.. how many kms on it?

Andrew.... lucky mum cant drive manual or she might like my car too much!!!

Yeah going very well!! Tax is fantastic over here, only one problem for me..... I miss cars soooooooooooooo much!!

haha good to see you are doing research before jumping into things..

Will pm you from ozaudi about a couple of things :P

When I bought it I only had like 45k's on it (but that was many years ago now)..

Talk soon

Rob

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
