Higher base cost for the car though.

Either way, different cars for different purposes.

I'm sure he didn't pay the current market value for the car when he bought it 7-8 years ago lol.

Probably not 50k but still expensive. Plus stock for stock.

Well, there's also a thing called technology.

Tis huge difference between a R33 and a taxi with bonnet bulge, a spoiler and some stickers.

You aren't seeing the point.

People were giving him shit about his tune costing 1400. When all it cost his was $1400.

Your tune may cost only $600, but does the tune alone get you to 370kw on a stock car? No.

Hence my point.

When you do all those mods to get it to 370kw is it legal? And was it free ? No

And if you then wanted to compare Leigh's car to the current g35 skyline being released which is roughly the same price if not more good luck getting it to 370rwkw with just a $600 tune

Don't see how people can give me shit with the ECU costing me $800 brand new and tune was like $600 which is like normal? :s

Power FCs are what $750 second hand?

Duno why haters hate just because it says "ford" there's faggots/ricers in all brands of cars.

I got your back!

Aaron, again, it's all about technology, many of new cars can be flashed with stock ecu, and whereas majority of older cars can't.

Leigh, why did you have to get new ecu for the taxi?

Tony, already told Matt to call Jack.

Did u just give up reading what I wrote half way ? Lol

G35. New car new technology. $1200 tune still won't get u there :)

Sorry not new ecu, just a flash tuner module.

this guy got my back!

basically I wanted a brand new, legal car with good power and decent handling for $55k nothing else came close - sure i've spent $5k on 'mods' but to me wheels / coilovers were gonna go on any car I got.

Didn't want fork out like $20k building up my 33GTR sure, would be quick but still a 90s car that i spent too much on imo

Yep, cos I can't work out why you'd say G35 in the equation when we were talking about ye olde r33...

BTW, Leigh knows I like to give him a shit about his 'fancy taxi'

Sorry not new ecu, just a flash tuner module.

Ah makes sense.

And nope back to square one, dads VZ has the basic low weight tow kit

if you find a tow car, i wouldnt go with BP trailer. You will need to remove frontbar to get on.

I recommend this;

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
