i bought a 99 RSFOURS off a fellow forum member. have not had a good chance to 'get to know' the car, but i'm pretty happy with it so far! think the first step will be getting the emanage in and tuned and work on tuning out the R&R when it hits boost - 3 gear loaded from low revs and i could just see the fuel vapour pouring out behind the car. :P

Nice, do you have a tuner yet? I can recommend Cihan (Etuner) who has done a great job on mine, or Trent (Status). Both great if you hope for the best tune.

No to the Emanage, buy Nistune supplied and fitted, save money, get same result, be happy.

don't worry Justin, it has gone to a good home - i'm sure the void will be full of EVO before you know it. The whole drive home my mind was ticking over - can't wait to get stuck into it!

will need to do some research on the whole nistune vs piggyback deal, but i already have the emanage and a FIELD harness with the car - so in terms of convenience it's probably going to stay that way. Tuner wise, i'll probably go with Chasers. Paul tuned the Wolf3D that was in my sklyline and that turned a mess of a car into a half streetable car - plus they're also on my side of town.

will look at getting it tuned again once i get a dump pipe on it, and potentially highflow the stock turbo - needs more powahh!

I figured you already had the Emanage, has Paul worked with them? If not sell it and go with his suggestion.

planning on giving the car a full detail this weekend as it's been living outside for a few years i think, starting with a claybar and working through the different lotions and potions.

my only question is, is there any specific care i need to take with the pearl white paint? i've heard that it shouldnt be polished? or is that more in reference to using cutting compounds?

You should be right with the claybar kit, comes up great.

yeh i'm not worried about that. its the restoration steps - i've got pretty much the entire meguiars catalogue of cutting creams at my disposal from ultimate compound, swirl remover, paint cleaner to polish.

i've heard that with some pearl paints, the pearl is mixed through the top layer of clear coat, so by cutting it you can actually cut back the pearl???

M35 is in the paint, mine has a clear hardcoat over everything.

pearl paint is actuall matte with a clear coat over the top of it

so just check that its clear coat safe and don't take too much off

i reckon the most abrasive you need would be the swirl remover

New brake pads woo! QFM HPX's. Quite happy with them so far. And the service was insanely good. Ordered them midday and got them next morning. OvErNiGhT pArTs yO! Wonder how much better a1's are

Do someone with an auto S1 a favour and sell them the E-manage - they can't really use Nistune. For you Nistune will be neater and better!

A1RM's will stop you significantly quicker than the HPX's will from experience... I have noticed that the A1RM's are a damn sight dustier though!

if anyone is interested www.pivotracing.com has a sale on a lot of their gear, and with the USD up around 94 cents, it's a good time to buy parts from O/S.

i just got a speed meter and a shift lamp (yeh i know, couldnt help myself). speed meter is to correct the speedo, the 19's have thrown it out - and i figure this is cheaper than a speeding fine!

Make sure you post pics of what you do to it. On the Nistune I have heard they are good also, They were still only new when I got the emanage fitted but if I had my time over I would seriously consider one. Trent at Status does them, also he does a bit of work with the Hypergear turbos so you might consider looking him up if you want a highflow. The hypergear stuff is good value and I have heard heaps of people on here claim good results from them.

got some different wheels :happy:

downgrading to 17's but they are wider and clear the r34 brakes without spacers (win)

and also 8"+35 instead of 7.5"+42

will post some pics when i clean them, they look ok but i'll get something better soon

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
