in all seriousness trying to save money on fuel and other assorted things and having a GTR is a bit like wanking with sandpaper it can be done but it isnt the right way and the end result wont be as enjoyable as it should have been

Exactly.

That's why I think he should just buy a hektik Excel.

Think about how mad sick baller it could be!

bang on chromie wheel trims, exhaust with volume control, stereo system worth as much as his current car.

2K resale value.

mmmm yeah... touch me like that Uleh!

im not trying to get 600kms to a tank or something, im just trying to keep it the way it is,

when i bought the car it did 160kms to a tank dont know why but it did, after a service everything was better, my car has been on running on 0.7 bar since i bought it, im quite happy with everything and the way it runs, i wana learn more about the car before i want any more mods or power, ive never cut any corners with the car as that doesnt work in the long run, i just want it to be reliable and so far it hasnt let me down at all.

when im old and experienced enough as some of you are and have the money more mods will be done, but for now this is it.

afternoon

Cliffnotes:

f**kING LAWL

So off the phone with TPG. The resubmitted my application today so it will be another 3-5 days before internets is connected. Seriously they suck so much arse it's unbelievable. I am sick of being on hold with that shitty music and then talking to dumb f**king indians! GTFO!

haha whatever power it makes its sufficent for my needs, currently doin 350 to 400 a tank which is good enough, as long it stays like that im happy.
lol everyone wants different things out of thier cars,my cars street driven and response and fuel economy is more important to me then having 250kw is, il tune it the way i want since i am forking out so much on it, with stock turbos im quite happy with 0.9 bar of boost.

last three posts contradict each other

sense = none

even the cat knows you're wrong... :banana:

Lol at john, back in form again!

In other news, my parts clean-up i have found my alloy turbo intake pipe! mmmmmm dose!

John bringin the lolz.

@Adam. I don't see anything wrong with keeping it standard/ tuned to .9 bar while your still in uni/jobless. Plenty of time to modify :banana:

haha whatever power it makes its sufficent for my needs

yet you're taking it from 0.7 to 0.9 ?

Ummmmmm?

add to that, pushing the boost up higher...

Then why get things you didn't 'need' as you said the other day? That'll change it from what it is :)

when im old and experienced enough as some of you are and have the money more mods will be done

I'm sure the age and money will be no problem :banana:

but for now this is it.

famous. last. words.

the boost is being put upto 0.9 bar because after talking to Rick at EFI , he said theres f**k all difference between 0.7 and 0.9 bar, this is not going to affect fuel economy or reliability in anyway,it would be better for the car to be tuned and run at 0.9, things that i have have done that i didnt need were mainly because of the labour costs im saving on, i am doing a full service and Dan recommended the Gates Timing Belt kit, and i found cam gears brand new pretty cheap and a new water pump was put in as part of the the service being done, i saved alot of money on labour as most of the labour costs overlap each other,

as for the powerfc i got it because i felt the car was running a bit rich and could do with a tune and feel smoother than it is now after being in brandons car and why bother with nistune when i can get a powerfc for a good price,

as for the all the synchros and bearings, it would be a smarter choice to change all of them rather than just 4th gear so i dont have to worry about anything in the long term and have pretty much a brand new gearbox,

and experience is something that comes with age, ive grown up in a different car culture and different laws to here, i learn new things as everyday passes, i believe that is what helps build experience, and as far as money is concerned sure i can live off my parents all my life if i want but thats not what i plan on doing.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
