hippy

dont underestimate the autos. im very pleased with mine.

i run 10psi with pod, cold air ind, full 3'' exhaust, and stock turbo+cooler.

mine was running brilliant with stock exhaust and other above mods, but as soon as i put the exhaust on i found it was dumping way to much fuel so i need to buy a safc to still run boost that high.

u guys got non stock turbs and fmic?? how much power?? i think my car would have about 130rwkw ... i've got a full exhaust, pod, and bleeder at about 10psi or so ... how did u guys get it to boost over 12 psi ... i get the feul cut if i go over that ... i got a safc in there but its untuned ... i think the car is really slow ;)

knore so yours is a Auto? how is it holding up?

Shes holding up in the shed at the moment, little too fast i guess :headspin:

Will be coming out better than ever though, got new 400r front bar, ordering Either Jun or Veilside rear bar

bought 2 sets of sideskirts .. Trail/Xtreme so i can choose hehe

picked up an SAFC2 .. brand new.. ofcourse

in the next few weeks im getting AVCR, Hybrid monster IC, Dump Pipe and probably a higher flow cat

so once all is on and safc tuned.. will be looking forward to a willowbank meet!

2rite on dont underestimate the auto, do the RIGHT things and youll beat a manual of same mods, i was shitty with mine untill i drove both properly and wreaked the benefits of never loosing boost and changing quicker than any human in more of a gear flow than a gear change

like i said tho, dont go out thinking youve got a drag shifter etc

spend the money on the rite things and you will shock some people

How much timing you running? Ever had it checked? My stock auto was very slow and sluggish so I tried bumping up the timing a tad and it made a world of difference, not just in the feel but measurable difference (eg dropping .9 off my 0-100, probably a clean second off if I bothered to launch abit harder). Thats quite a difference... and took less than 5 minutes... or about 15 minutes if I bothered to do it right with a HT lead between the 1st coil and used a timing light...

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
