Well worth it, don't know if it was a bit of a placebo effect, but i reckon its better in the mid range. The 2nd pull from 60-70 to 100 is phenonemal, especially now with the shift kit. Changes feel like a manual!

But a tad of low end, not much. :)

Thanks man! Love the V! How can anyone not enjoy this car!

Oh, and I have just spent the last 3 hours under my car pulling off the lower control arms (to press in new bushes tomorrow), removing my mid-pipe (to be fixed tomorrow) and removing my drivers side Kinetix high flow cat (which I had bottomed out so badly it has bent and got a rather large crack in it - again to be fixed tomorrow). This is how the poor car looks at the moment. So I am not so much in love with her today :( (and yes, before anyone comments she is currently FILTHY. But will have a big wash, cut & polish and final hand polish before a club car show this weekend!)

woooo hoooooo just fitted MD plenum spacer, a lot easier than i was expecting. Me and a mate did it in 1hr 10min, and we were not rushing. Definately more power and the sound with the Z tube, K&N filter is orgasmic. Transgo Shift kit next. :woot:

My V upgrade week is starting this week. $1299 BC coilovers from just jap, strut brace and sway bars. All arriving within a week..... Doesn't sound like much but this is huge for me.

Strange you didn't see much of an improvement Sam. When I fitted my Kinetix upper plenum I could feel not only slightly more power, but much more torque over the whole rev range!

YO i just ordered this yesterday for $250, how was it to install? I've been searching everywhere for someones feedback that actually has this. I also have Injen CAI stuck in Australia post (about 10 workers got the sack because they were illegal immigrants LOL)

    • 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
