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?

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
