you'll need the z32 after you hit 300kw tho... or go for the more expensive nismo afm

speaking of z32s, wheres the cheapest place to get em from, with the plug?

-D

Granted the extra 15mm of the Z32 over the standard size Nismo body may make a difference but not as great as what you would expect cause they have similar resolution and the Nismo bolts straight on with no extra wiring......I'd be ditching the standard restrictive GTR piping if you have a few spare $$$ and go for some hard piping.

Also, PowerFC has a default select feature for the Z32 to get you started whereas manual imput is required for the Nismos.....not an issue unless you're tuning it yourself.

Suppose it boils down to price & personal preferance at the end of the day.

All good points Pete. I myself went the Nismo route, firstly I got them cheap, second, they are direct bolt up, no mods required and I don't like molesting looms and third, if you're really sneaky you can go through regency with them on. Z32's; no chance

Anyone got any ideas how to remove a Vspec decal from the boot lid without fking the paint?

Prepsol, or a thin nylon blade like we do at work (cut down ice cream containers work too)

Prepsol won't hurt 2-pac but will acrylic.......just don't use thinners, LOL :)

prepsol or wax and grease remover shouldn't have any affect on acrylic, but yeah thinners is a big no no.

dammit u guys got me thinking

i was gonna go nismo till shane got me thinking about the diameter

and yeah I wanna keep it as regency friendly as possible.

i dont have a powerfc and wont be using that, instead ill be getting a nistune daughterboard for my ecu

just wish the nismo afms werent so damn expensive

Be vigilant... I got my AFM's for under $600

yeah ive seen a few places with them for that much, but ive also seen a pair of z32's for the $300 mark ;\

nismo is probably worth the extra $300 tho

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
