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)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
