Alright, so i've compiled all the bits I need for ~270rwkw, only thing i'm unsure of is coilpacks. Would it be worth getting a set of Splitfires as a precaution before towing the car to Trent's? If so, there's a 2nd hand/nearly set on eBay for $450, is that steep or about right? Currently running stockies with no problems.

pretty sure i got mine for around 450 new delivered from nengun maybe 3 years ago

Can't remember what I paid for mine... think it was a little less than that though...

If you've got some time, I'd be ordering new OEM ones from amayama... be prepared to wait a few weeks though

Anyone got xforce catback here? how do you rate them??

http://www.xforce.com.au/products.php?make=FPV&model=101

can pick up a twin 3" for just over 1k new.

have had an xforce cat back and know a few others that have had them.

fitted fine and worked fine, some were silly loud others average loud, seems to differ depending on the model car.

i had 320kw on the stock coils with 190,000km

no point replacing them if they arent stuffed.

Hmm maybe i'll go with this for now. I've spent like 2k in the last few weeks on car stuff; that's a whole chunk of summer work down the drain. If they break down it's only like $150 for an extra hour of tuning I guess. My car has genuine 104,000 so might be okay..

I'm gonna wing it and hope for the best. The coils aren't cracked or damaged, and as titan said, no point replacing if they aren't stuffed... Only one way to find out - more boost!

Trent tuning it? He usually asks for new coils, either Splitfire or OEM, just so you don't waste his time. ;)

You should get that alloy intake today, I shipped it yesterday morning.

Cool, he has PM.

Yea Trent.. Okay I will keep an eye out for some splitfires then. Cheers for the quick postage, looking forward to seeing it; one of the final pieces of the puzzle! :D

Yeah try and fix any issues before you go to Trents

Otherwise you might have to wait a few weeks before you can book again

When you put in the 'new' coil packs might as well change your spark plugs too.

Probably even leave the cover off for easy access if Trent wants to double check anything

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
