thanks for the heads up for what to expect down the track

you absolutely right in what you say but i said it did have an aftermaket ecu but that has been removed and how the hell do you tell if the turbo has been hiflowed, metal turbine when it within the same housing .yeah i know i should got a test performed but i fell into the mistake of letting my heart take over my mind.. he is chasing up the receipt for the turbo though so eventually one way or another i will find out but it definatley goes harder than a stocky with just exhaust/pod/fmic etc. anyway i do appreciate your comments none the less and thanks...

Hey Dazza its my workshop so tell me what you want and i will give you a price.

ah ha... cool david.

I firstly would love a dyno to see what I am looking at with the present setup.

I dont plan getting an aftermarket ecu or increase the boost at all as it goes hard enough and i will be daily driving it as it is.

I do plan on getting another muffler put in as I want to be legal with noise & EPA and i plan on putting the standard airbox back in if i can (depending on fmic piping.(you may know if this is possible without cutting it up?)

So once this is done then possibly a tune..

I dont think its had a major service done so I suppoes this in lieue of the tune (above)..

I dont want an animal of a car so any advice would be appreciated and your so close its not funny...

any advice would be appreciated as well Dave....

Dazza

Hi dazza as i wrote in the email,

the only way to tune a stock ecu is a re map and if you want that can be done later.

A power run will let you know what you currently have and how it is running.

Any jap cat back with a mid mount and rear muffler will be legal and give it a nice rb note.

As for a major service that would include new water pump timing belt tensioner and idler always good while the front is off to put in a new thermostat oil plugs coolant then diff and gear box oil as well for the full works then the usual checks.

The cost start to add up in just parts for a major service.

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
