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.

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

    • Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold? 
    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
