It would cost you so much your head would explode.

The box my kit came in was so big it didn't fit in a Mitsubishi Triton. It fit in a single cab falcon but with a fair bit hanging out the back.

Yeh im just getting side skirts tho so i wont need a massive box for the front and rear bars, i had my exhaust sent via USPS and it cost around $300 in total and that was really heavy, im thinking it would cost around 150-200 to USPS a set of side skirts over.

G'day Sheldon - Nice write up.

Looking and doing an uprev tune myself. i have contacted tokyo motorsports in Perth (Im from near melb) and they asked me to send over my ECU for an uprev "etune" - derstricting & throttle mapping tune.

Does that sound right?

BTW - aside of power - do you have some crisper response and a bit more above th 5000rpm zone?

I didn't have to send my ECU over, the guy i was dealing with just sent me a beggining map and i worked from there.

I found it 10x easier to spend the extra $250 and buy the tuners pack personally, then take it to a local tuner with a dyno and do test runs there.

eTune will never get you the same kind of tune as a tuning shop with a dyno.

5000+ is very responsive, definitely kicks you back around that marker.

Thanks For that - Starting to think the same about dyno operators.

Only problem of course is finding one in melbourne or sydeny!

Lookig at this stage that I might be making a trip up there to get it done.

Thanks for your help - also good to see another 70th owner.

Cheers

Nice. I have done all the mods as above minus the Exhaust (Only installed the ART Pipes for now).

Question about the Double Din and player.

I had this installed for me by an automotive audio/electrical professional. Everything works fine on the display but i cant get the original (Trip metre/leaf Display that pops up) to display anything

I did get a cheap $350 display unit that came with the lot... gps , reverse camera , dvd etc.

Did you use an adapter?

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
