this... hence going an Evo... 230rwkw in evo form will be the minimum power i think i'd be able to handle

I love the idea of the BRZ but i just cant deal with having a 6.3 kw car, and i'm not modding a new car

No golf?

Sounds like you're using E-go Jono...

taking all the fairings off to get em re painted. thinking just black for everything

will i need to notify vicroads for changing colours?

Yes, a simple phone call though.

Haha used to use that courier all the time cause they are without doubt the cheapest pricks around. I used to be able to send a gearbox on a friggen skid to South Australia for $20.

They save you money when you choose to drop off/pickup from a depot too...doubt your sender passedthe discount onto you though. It will be there tomorrow I'm guessing.

Technically I got free postage. Asked what the cheapest he could do pick up. Said x, then i was like, cheapest posted to melburn. x. win win.

Plus, i'm never home when they deliver the stuff. So its better when I can pick it up from the depot.

yeh... while it's definately the better family car i have read enough reviews and spoken to enough owners now to know it's not enough for me to have fun in.

the esp/tc is hardwired and can NOT be turned off. so even when you are on a racetrack with tc/esp turned off and the car detects an "emergency procedure" (hard entry to corner / slide / hard braking) the computer takes over and cuts all power.

gayer than a handbag full of rainbows

evo 8 MR will be next

just wanted to say thanks to all the people who gave me some advice and said it was worth sending a letter to try get out of the speeding ticket i got a few months ago

i recieved a letter back today with the infringment being removed and just an offical warning!

so when i get around to attending garage cafe soon i owe a few of you a drink or two for saving me a bit of cash :D thanks!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
