the blue/shiny bits will be hidden behind the bumper - though it looks nice like that with the bumper off the blue and the bling breaks off the black nicely haha

I was considering painting just the piping but photoshopped it thought it looked a bit odd so I did the whole thing heat resistant black, no primer - will black mesh off the middle section and wrap the pipes in something else black I reckon coz not sure how well the paints going to hold up on the sides there - the chrome hardly stayed shiny with rocks and bugs flying at it!

well steve/damo pretty sure you guys were right about the AFMs. im about to pull them off and have a look now. My car cut out 3 times on the way home from work, pretty scary lol

booked into the mechanics tomorrow morning, hopefully they can make heads or tails of it.

Quick question, anyone know if turbotune are open saturdays? Or even boostworx? Even if the car can be dropped off on a saturday and moved around the back or whatever to be worked on/looked at on the monday..

ah joel you dont need to take it somewhere (where are you taking it)

go see Wally @ Z-imports next to Roccla Besser @ ottoway grand junction rd when i was there 1.5 months ago he had 2 gtr AFM's like 60-80$ ea. from memory get them and that should sort your problems

Jarrad - boostworx is sometimes open on saturdays but i dont think he answers the phone not sure about turbotune maybe ring tomorrow and organise your drop off

Thanks guys, and girl. Might give them a call tomorrow, dont know when its going to be dropped off as yet, its being driven the night we go to pick our hoodies up. May be safe booking it in early september. Ill decide tomorrow.

DTM are out of stock in 18 x 9.5 +15 :whistling: gotta wait for their other stock to sell before access get new ones (ie they have to sell the 18x7.5 +45's etc :D ) might look at the Origin DNA01's....

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
