Haven't Posted in a while now haha, so let's update everything that has been happening with the car. I ended up installing the 3inch dump pipe as well as blocking off the BOV (i know some people think its stupid (i do half the time too) but i do like the flutter). Then came the time for the big install. I ended up purchasing 740cc nismo injectors and booked in my install and tune as well as the 100,000 km service. Needless to say it was expensive but all up worth it :) haha. It took a while to do (Just about two weeks) mainly due to it being close to the Barbagallo Drift Assault, which i went to to watch my friend drift etc :) The car is now back in my hands and im loving it. It's running 365 hp at the rears which is a huge power difference haha and it still has more in it (due to some restrictions and the coilpacks not performing too great causing some missfires (there also may be a boost leak)). Should be around 380 when it's done (trying to source the coilpacks now haha) and i'll then post a dyno run hopefully. Loving the car and will hopefully get to start some drift pracs soon, even bought 2 rota grids for my "skid" rims haha -- only 250! That's all for the car at the moment haha.

Future plans: Splitfire coilpacks, fix boost leak -- further future new front bumper and hopefully some saving haha.

Started from a practically stock car and after a lot of money im close to the point i wanted to be :)

Mods on atm:

  • Hypergear Atr43g3 turbo running 19psi - braided lines etc
  • Custom 3 inch metal intake
  • genuine z32 afm (had to get another one since the one i had before was fake :/ lol)
  • 740cc nismo injectors
  • cheap pod filter
  • Hdi intercooler
  • jjr 3 inch dump pipe -- highflowed cat -- 3.5 or 4 inch catback with a 4.5 * tip (very loud and had to be modified to fit the turbo)
  • Walbro gss342 fuel pump
  • Npc clutch
  • Greddy profec b spec 2 boost controller
  • HSD coilovers
  • Dtm p10.1 rims 18x9.5 all round -- 225/40/18 stretched tyres
  • drift lip poorly done haha
  • There's other small stuff and may have forgotten

Nice work man. I'm sure you would be loving it now!

Yer loving it now haha. So much different compared to stock with the speed/acceleration and dosing haha . Losing grip just from accelerating in second is quite a feeling lol :yes: I'm trying to save for the cams licence so i can participate in the next drift prac! So keen to start

365 is reasonable.I ended up buying a hyperg turbo,the newest one they've got . My car is apart & hoping everything goes back in by the end of the month.Since im doing all work at home its taking a bit of time.Ive also got a Utra gate 38mm so I'm hoping I make close to 300kw as promised by stao haha.I thought about poncams (256)but wasn't sure as a lot of people are saying you make f*k all power

You have done well with your first car and mods.

Did you research much into the hdi intercooler vs some other brands ? hdi do good stuff just wanted to see your thoughts on it...

To be honest man this was when i didn't know too much- just got advice from mechanic on what to get at the time man, it seems to be doing pretty well - no complaints

Hey peeps,

Taken my car to the drifts twice now :woot: . Been having some fun with it but of course there is some small issues now lol. First time i went i melted the aircon drip pipe and melted the plastic shut haha (so im not using my air-con at the moment lol). Second time i went i was having heaps of fun. V8 race is definitely my favourite corner, however i went a bit too ham into it at one stage and span out, that combined with some slight overheating meant the car stalled (wouldn't turn back on) and i had to get towed out haha! Turns out i had melted some wiring lol, so i have now booked in with PZP again to check for a boost leak and to heat wrap some stuff in the engine bay lol :yes: I also slightly messed up the front right guard lol. I tightened the dampening and my car isn't extremely low at the front however, when drifting that wasn't enough causing the tire to grab the guard and mess up the paint and put it out of shape :unsure: I just kinda bashed it a bit so i could drive home lol

Anyway i'm still loving the car however im getting used to the power and kinda want more. Just trying to think what i could do that wouldn't cost and excessive amount as i'm still paying off a small loan i needed to get everything installed on the car :rolleyes:

Yer man haha, i thought i was only going to get 320-340 hp. I'm just not smart enough to install everything my self haha (wish i could) -- kinda looking at cams myself at the moment -- i wanna see if i can crack the 400hp mark lol

Slight Update,

My car was tuned to united p100 before hand, but since they have taken that away i needed a retune. So i took it to PZP, who retuned me to bp98 and I somehow started to make more power :). Car is now making 378.9hp at the rear.

Plans for the future (probably not for a little while though):

Arp Head Studs,

Metal Head Gasket,

Poncams -- maybe 256

Maybe e85 (with fuel pump and lines changed)

Retune

At the moment i'm having fun with this car. Hoped to make it to the drift prac on the 28th but i have work :/ Next one hopefully

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
