I've wondered the same thing... In a month or so, I'm doing the big NA->+T conversion on my 33, and I'll be doing it all here at home. I'm putting in an eManage piggyback ECU and turbo injectors, and obviously manifolds and turbo, and I'm not sure if it will be safe to drive it to the tuners (about 10 minutes away) or should I hire a trailer?

if you have or can get you hands on the emanage tuning software there is an option in there where you say what size you old injectors were and what size the new ones are, then it automatically scales down the injector outputs for you. this would be ok till you get to the tuners, just remember to let them know what you have done.

otherwise it will just be running really rich. you'll just have to see how it runs, better to be rich than lean. you may foul the sparky plugs on the way to the tuners if its too rich.

Yeah I've got the software and cable and everything, no issues there. I haven't played around with anything yet (obviously, it's still all sitting in my garage!) but I'll give the tuner a call and he can probably step me through getting it working safe enough to drive down to see him.

    • You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.
    • So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!    
    • If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
    • Beauty, thanks guys, got some ideas now. I note that none of you agreed with the flap disc so that's good to know. 👌🏻
    • I had small pin holes in my glazing putty but didn't want to put more putty to not make a mess again and I put 2 coats of epoxy primer to prevent it from rust. Though you can only see the pin holes if your eyes are almost against the panel. Do you think when the 3x coats of high fill 2k primer and 2 base coats go on that it will be visible?
