i was going to buy a new gt2831 or something but garrett gave me this turbo for free and i cost me 200 in gaskets and clamps and i am happy. i was doing 14.00sec quatermile before i did half the mods so now i am hoping for at least mid 13s in the end i want 12s then i will take it to a race track and see how it handles. but we dont get paid to work on our cars so the work gets done afterhours.

They were 300 cheaper then the br's though.

I found a guy on here that sells the BC racing BR's for $1165 delivered (http://www.streettotrack.com/). So your Silk Roads are still cheaper (but only by ~$165) and I'm not overly concerned about it being harder to adjust damping.

Can you tell me if they can be set up soft or do they start at "firm" & go harder from there, as per most Japanese coilovers? But with a name like "Silk Roads" they sound so soft & comfortable LOL.

The aftermarket ECU and tuning will be the biggest difference. If you search forced induction you will find a thread by rev210 on how to get 12's on a 33 with as much stock gear as possible. The stagea is a lot heavier.

Nice find Leon, good prices there. Just curious how you'd go with warranty though, could be a sticking point?

I believe he is an official reseller and has such handles warranty the same as the others. He is just keener for the business so does some forum marketing in his spare time. He is quick to respond to email questions, which is great, so maybe confirm with him. The only downside is the delivery time for our cars is about 15 days. From that I'd guess he doesn't keep ours in stock LOL. But I am a patient man so that doesn't bother me. I've been waiting on some spare parts since Christmas......

got suck down the coast at albian park rail with a dead battery on saturday. NRMA only had a smallish battery with the small terminals. hope it lasts!!

I think I have the small battery.... :(

that sucks. i might change mine to the spare if its still around

i had a pitworks battery in there, has been in there since japan! not bad, lasted over 2.5 years.

3.5 for mine so could not complain.... Only paid $80 for the new battery delivered to my car.

last time i went to the drags i had 6 runs of times between 14.00 and 14.10 it was pissing me off i just wanted to crack into the 13s i had shit tyres so i was changing tyre pressure to get grip off the line and i only had done intercooler, boost controller and pod filter and was getting 1.9sec 60ft so low 13s is no problems.

this is only the 2nd car ive ever repaced a battery in

Lucky bastard. I think I've replaced the battery in every car I've had *touch wood*

Mine is a Pitwork too, hoping it lives a long, happy, healthy life :cheers:

I was going to ask if your alarm issues could be related to battery issues :P

I was going to ask you if your handling issues could be related to stilts issues :P

Haven't checked actually, didn't even occur to me. Will look into it. Thanks :thumbsup:

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
