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?

    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
    • Hi all, got myself a 400R end of last year. Few tasteful mods done so far. Love the thing. Has anyone got any suggestions for sourcing bodykit parts for them over here???
    • Unplug the thermofans and let it idle... Watch the temp gauge as it all goes up... Record the values. And done.
