Ahhh ok that's fair enough. I had a read through the thread and wasn't sure what to make of it. Will certainly be something I look at down the track.

In the mean time though I may just snap up the box that Widebody33 has for sale and be done with it. Down the track I can rebuild that box as it is indeed better than the current one :banana:

I really should change this thread name to... "Questions and shit that Kat want's to say about her car..."

Let me just say it's AMAZING how much different an exhaust that isn't stuffed makes! My car now sounds and feels frigging awesome!

A good 30kw difference.

i would throw the car on another dyno for comparisons sake as there might be some dyno figure fudging, because that's 20-30kw more than 99% of -7 setups make.

My car has always gone on the same dyno and I have all the sheets from the very first going up to this one. Just before the rebuild I had it on the ESP dyno and comparitively they matched.

Do the other 99% of -7 setups have a 2.8L stroker kit and the same setup as mine?

After the rebuild it has come back a totally different car to drive.

Hahahahaha gold!!! :D

I will be popping along to the next dyno day or dropping into ESP for a visit when I get the chance :down:

It's at 22psi (sorry missed that other question).

Seat of the pants dyno is pretty f**king impressed! Can safely say there's a lot of people that have been in it (even -30kws or so) have been pretty close to shitting their pants!

do i get an offer to be a passenger? lol i wanna see what 362rwkw feels like.

but i also agree, you need an all wheel figure, when you say "at all four" sounds more impressive.... well to me.... maybe because i dont have a gtr lol :D

LOL you are most welcome to come for a spin! This hasn't been a very good year for me so I haven't been out very much.

I have a little more work to do which is why I hadn't yet worried so much about an all wheel figure yet. The Autotech one is good because I have figures going from when I first fitted the power FC when the car was almost stock right up to now on the same dyno.

TBH there are a few things I need to do in terms of completion but I am so happy with how it feels now I don't give two shits what the final figures end up being anymore. I guess that's also because I'm in the ballpark of where I always wanted it.

Next year that leaves interior and brakes!!! What to do!!! :P

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
