Just got the following parts put on:

-STRUP stainless headers

-Berk cats

-Ichiba y-pipe

-ztube and popcharger with heat shield

-motordyne spacer

-unorthodox racing pulleys with belts

-Stillen grounding kit

-06 jdm tailights

-NRG hood dampers

-B+M short shifter and Nismo carbon gearknob

-15mm Ichiba spacers front and 10mm rear

Wow what a difference these mods made! Car revs much quicker and the exhaust note is awesome. No rasp or drone yet.(has a kakimoto regu 06&r catback) Hopefully it stays that way.

All work was performed by Greg and the boys at autosport engineering and took 12 hours to do the lot including engine and gearbox oils. What a job they did and for an excellent price!!

The header install was not easy they tell me :P

Now off to get a tune on monday at CRD. Getting haltech platinum interceptor fitted.Hoping to pull high 180's or maybe even low 190's.

Will post dyno sheet up monday night

Yeah that's what i've read and what my bestmate experienced. He saw 20kw+ difference between CRD and ISMR. On another forum, some members have seen 15kw diff between CRD and UAS.

Doesn't really matter though..if it drives to your liking then it was worth it right :ermm:

I'll imagine after the tune, it should pull pretty sweetly! Let us know how it goes.

i might pull 200kw then :)

Nah thats fine i will get a before and after readout so i know how much extra power it made after the tune.....regardless of whether its a high figure or not. hoping for 10-15kw atw

we spend alot of money on our cars to extract little power

the $ - kw ratio imo is not worth it, hence why i will not be extensivley modifiying this car. not worth the money. rather make it look good than go good. no need for excessive speed on the street.

How'd it go Robbo33 ? :P

My tune only netted me peak 6kw atw i think, mid range was MUCH better though and no more gay 6600rpm rev limit now...feels like a totally different car. Oh and no more pinging whicich no doubt affected the power delivery (ECU constantly adjusting ignition etc).

No go yet!

the haltech got wired in and was all good to go. Put it on the dyno and it wouldnt rev past 5000rpm!

its a software error with haltech itself they said so back there on saturday to get it sorted out. all they need to do is make a phone call and it will be sorted instantly but because it was after 5pm they were closed.

Did pull 168rwkw without the tune though...so not to bad.

Full credit to the boys at CRD though as they were more devastated then me! they wanted me to leave the car there overnight so they could sort it first thing in the morning but i needed it for work tomorrow and to get home tonight (silverwater to miranda). they even offered me one of their cars for the night, but the tuner came in and said he just bypassed the haltech so it was running how it was when i drove it there.

So bring on saturday!

got the car back from crd today with dyno printout.

Made 179.6kw....couldnt quite get 180kw.

And the initial readout was 165.8kw not 168kw as they first told me.....so just under 15kw at the wheels with the tune and now revs to 7200rpm!

All in all im very impressed with how the car idles (before the tune the car would stall on cold starts and idle all over the shop) and the midrange is so much better.

will try and post dyno chart tomorrow

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
