Noticed there's a Team Red Stage sticker on a white ford station wagon in the carpark at work. Wonder if that's the same person with the 33 4 door?

But given he hasn't noticed he's been spotted maybe not much chance he'll see this!

Although... There's something pretty white and shiny in there today. 500kw daily driver FTW!

The point of the 400+kw etc threads is it makes it easier for people to discussed things and look for what setups people are running rather than trolling through the massive thread of people putting a pfc in their standard car and running 200kw. It is also an easier place for discussion for common known hurdles around certain power levels etc.

They are actually very useful threads.

I get what the point of them is. Unfortunately I read more rubbish than good.

I'm well connected with multiple workshops that are going to give me much better factual information based on experience which is 100000000x more valuable than some of the shit I've read in there.

Each to their own. I dont believe most of the crap thats on here, nor do i take everything i get told by workshops as gospel. My opinion only. I dont expect anyone on here to believe what i write, for all they know i might be 13 and own a pushbike and nothing else, and have never worked on a car.

What works in/on one engine may not work on/in another. Trial and error is the only way you know what works and what doesnt. Just sucks its so expensive and time consuming. Power figures are just a number, you can make the dyno read whatever. As long as your happy with how it goes who gives a fk!

I've seen you plenty haha, I'm in the grey 32, saw you after the downshift meet as well.

But bummer to the defect.

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
