Also John hows the SSQ

big, shiny, heavy. waiting for me to obtain tools to put it on. The other one is big, not as shiny, slightly heavier, and waiting for me to talk to Dan about where/how to attach that one (it goes into a pipe somewhere).

Once I've given them both a bit of a thrashing I'll let you know how they work out :(

also - for those who are up on the current what's what with my car.

I'm just waiting on my boost gauge to arrive in the mail :(

allllllso - for anyone to field. Do I really NEED an aftermarket ECU to hit the 300 killerwasps mark?

yeah you do, the stock ecu will start being gay before then, especially given that you will need to change injectors...but the only reason i suggested vipec was because you mentioned getting rid of the afm, if you are happy to keep the afm nistune it.

soooo......

Avatar is a complete piece of boring ass shit. Only good thing about it was getting to see that silly mole Michelle Rodriguez die again. Predictable rehashed phone in hack of a movie.

How do I go about getting back the 2hs 41mins of my life? Does anyone have a flux capacitor?

Avatar's not THAT bad... its the same old story... boy meets girl, boy overcomes challenge, boy gets girl... Pocahontas anyone?

The 3D was pretty I just wish they made 300 in 3D...

head.......... assplode....

so many different ways.

Ok. This week = nistune vs vipec study. Hopefully brain doesn't melt down.

Thanks Andy. I was leaning towards GTR injectors. They should be ok shouldn't they?

nistune is a lot cheaper and more than capable, vipec has a lot of stuff you will probably never use. if you are happy with keeping the AFM i would seriously go the nistune, i wouldnt be able to justify the cost of the vipec. GTR injectors will be plenty for your application.

The graphics really didn't do anything for me. I did like the light up floor... but it was cooler in "Big" because it was a piano then, and original. And as fas as I'm concerned the movie "Field Of Dreams" had MUCH better scenery effects.

The animals were all just... lamepants. Each animal had a different roar of different dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. The black panther thing was the T-Rex, the little coyote things were the Dilophosaurus, the horse things were the raptor "honk" and the birds were the raptor "hiss".

The "helicopters" made NO SENSE AT ALL. If those blades are encased in a big circular shield, then they shouldn't sound like helicopter blades because the tips aren't cutting through the air making that "WHUP WHUP WHUP" sound.

..so... nothing really stood out as original, or groundbreaking. Was just a 3hr story that could have been easily half that. Only that wouldn't have stroked Cameron's ego quite as sufficiently.

and 300 would still have been a terrible movie even if it was in 3D.

I'll keep that in mind whilst doing my "research" :(

The only reason to watch avatar was at the movies, on the big screen, in 3D. Anything else and it would have just been shit.

Hell it was shit at the movies too, just epic 3D shit :(

i is back from the west.

on a funny side note, on our way to our hotel from the airport in NY, drove past 3 separate sports fields, on 2 of those, people were playing bloody cricket.

these were three separate sports fields in three different suburbs. last thing i expected to see here was cricket.

Exactly, its all it was.. watching it in 2D is like watching a dvd on a 30cm CTV.... cough cough

300 was great for the action, what more do you expect of Spartans?

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
