lol, i started using e85 about 3 years ago now on a half assed touch up tune that took 6 runs (later was retuned by someone better) never even changed my fuel filter and drove it daily on e85 for ages... never had even 1 problem. not 1

it does indeed seem that the only people that have had troubles with e85 are those that have never used it... lol

Been thinking about dropping in some new valve springs while the turbo issue is being sorted., performance springs sell two kits one is rated for 9mm lift the other 10mm... Which kit should I be looking at to run in my setup with stock cams??

Interesting, a friend had HKS cams in his RB25 that deleted the VCT and its always dangerous to judge and form an opinion on the basis of one car but perhaps there was maybe a difference in throttle response and maybe 100-200rpm, hard to tell with the change in cams...but not 500-1000rpm. I would expect the 500cc, 0.5 bump in compression and VCT would at least give you at least a 500rpm improvement

not at all, we did brents car way back i thik when we sold cammtech cams (great cams too btw) and i spent hours getting the cam timing to the point it lost very little.... BUT i can tell you now if i do one run with it on and one run off on the dyno the differrence can be huge. (more power and torque).. just ask tao, we have is car in every fortnight and one night were chasing a 500rpm lag issue between tunes and it turned out the vtc plug had vibrated off.

Every tune we do that has vtc get a run with it off and run with on constantly (but not a full pull to redline when on constantly) the intersection point is easily discernable.... in power and torque terms that is.

So seems like Eiji isn't interested in replacing this china junk turbo. He ain't responding to my messages...

Last thing he said was that he'd be happy to sell me a new turbine wheel and if i send it to them they would fit/ balance it for free. Then I got angry and now he won't reply lol

I'm in the same bad customer boat. A wrong oil line was supplied with my kit so emailed and asked how we can go about getting me the correct line, no response! Service was great until I payed but now seems to lack quite a lot.

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
