I started a long reply.... Then thought "why bother".... Benji, your killing me man.... Your probation is ok cus your not trolling BUT you are posting epic novels which are epic fail, and posting in ANY thread with the same stuff....

My advice, start a build thread.... Contain all your mods and plans in there (like others have suggested), keep the posts basic and read and learn, keep enjoying SAU... Oh and stop hitting on 14yo at Supre :laugh:

Yeah dude, I always end up rambling when I am on uni holidays. Will be sure to start a build thread once my first batch of parts come from Japan (^_-)-☆

Also have a set of Kumho Ecsta XS (KU36) tires and a 1.0kg dry powder extinguisher waiting to be fitted. Stripped out the carpet in the rear of the S15 in order to counteract the 1.0kg weight gain of the fire extinguisher which will be mounted near the centre console (^^♪

I didn't manage to get the two pieces of carpet from the rear quarter panels as there was a big clip on each one which I couldn't manage to get off. Also took out the spare tire.

Your a dumb ass :P don't take the carpet out of a street car ya clown!! If you want weight reduction you'd have to go drastic, BUT it's a fkn street car.... Carpet and seats make it quiet!!

lose 1 kg of weight if your that concerned, or get a skyline for the extra torque haha

Skylines are cool but cost wayyy too much to maintain for me to be able to afford. Whilst they have more torque, also less fuel efficient!!

The carpet was taken out of the boot in the rear so pretty stealthy and completely legal modification! Was tempted to take out the rear seat though but once I saw 2 bolts clamping the rear seat that idea quickly went out the window (^^♪

Thinking I'm happy with the weight reduction. Anyway, just realised I'm rambling again. Back on topic =)!

whats to maintain? i do the oil every 5000kms thats it. same as yours.

and i doubt an s15 would be much better then a gtt, gtts are pretty good on fuel.

haha rear seats weigh like 1kg as well, you will not notice this. are you gunna take a shit every time you wanna drive fast? this is the difference your making.

^^^ this....

Oh, and not all GTT's are good on fuel :P

Literally lol'ed IRL at the taking a poo before driving part.

The S15 got around 7.5L/100kms when my dad drove it home from Sydney rather tentatively. The SR20DET combined with the S chassis is the ultimate combination for performance on a budget (^_-)-☆ .

The Toyota Supra would be the ultimate 6 cylinder performance car/budget supercar due to the rear wheel drive powertrain and 3.0 litre race inspired 2JZ which is basically a torque monster.....R32/33/34 GTR are also on par in performance I'd say, albeit way more expensive to maintain due to the higher revving engine (RB26) and all wheel drive powertrain.

really?? thats pretty good actually, thats like what my 1.8L tiida gets and way better then my camry :S

you sure about those figures??

Just checked carsguides to make sure I hadn't calculated it wrong...turns out what I said was about right

http://www.carsguide.com.au/search/specs-search/?&Ns=pRSS_SortDate%7C1&N=4294967154+4294962594++490+4294965960

Anyway, I think if you were to get stuck into it and come on boost frequently then fuel consumption would go wayyyy up.

yeah fair enough, id probs get better economy if i had the 5-7 boost instead of 10psi all the time too haha.

must run like an NA if your gentle, i think the best ive got is 650? maybe 700. and i think its a 65L tank

Commodore drivers :no:

So has Benji gone into hiding yet?

Been a productive day today as I couldn't get the old tiles off the wall in the kitchen without destroying the wall in the process

Decided to cut the gyprock and tiles out completely and put some new sheets up.

Just finished setting it and can sand and undercoat tomorrow

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
