Chris, just for the record..

Is it a car your sharing with your brother bought by your parents?

Does the car really belong to you, or do you just drive it ocassionally?

Have you driven the car?

The reason I ask this is the names on the website dont match up with your profile thats all.

* gets popcorn and beer * :(

I would only stick stickers on my car if I received the sponsorship that goes with them....

Ask the professional racer if he would have his car covered in stickers if he didn't have to because of sponsorship.

Stickers are for the tool box... and for the people that want to be hassled by the police all the time.

Stickers are right up there with chrome wheels as a definite no no.

There is a Hyundai Tiburon in my home town that has all the HKS, BLITZ etc stickers from autobahn on the doors but has no turbo or any of them at brands at all and he obviously doesn't know people laugh at him every time they see him drive past. It also has to two N1 style mufflers, wing on the back (front wheel drive) and fake scoops in the bonnet and enough sub's to sink a fleet of ships and big chrome wheels and the only performance mods are exhaust and cold air intake and he's as happy as a pig in **** with his car..... go figure.

If I ever turn out like him please shoot me.... you'll be doing the world a favor.

lol at the conversation in here...

i, very unseriously, voted no as i'm wearing a nismo jacket as we speak/type and i don't have any nismo parts, let alone a car!

but seriously, if it's on the car, it implies that you have the part. with the general definition of rice being a modification to make your car look fast, as apposed from make it look good, a nismo sticker on the car is implying the false sense that it's fast.

fake stickers = the definition of rice :(

edit: nismo is probably a bad example of a 'fake' sticker, as nismo = nissan motorsport int.... a stock nissan can still go round a track. like a holden gts with a hsv sticker. replace nismo with apexi or hks or soemthing

i do have a small nismo sticker on the rear side windows tho, but i think it is ok cause it's tasteful, my japanese sticker is at the top of the windscreen......and no where near as big as knores

Personally I dont like having performance stickers all over my car, i prefer a nice simple and clean look.. besides i'm sure no one else needs to see what brand of parts i have on my car. Although i think my intercooler says my car means business :(

only sticker i'm putting on my car is the Skylines Australia sticker. I guess it's ok to put performance parts stickers on your car if you have the parts (and not just a turbo timer or whatever as Knore said) but if you don't have the parts, don't put on the stickers.

My 2 cents on the situation is that the only reason I don’t put some kind of stickers on my car (like on the paintwork) is for the fact that lets say after a year or half a year of some kind of sun exposure, paint fades over time and with different conditions so lets say I want to take my stickers off after a year then I find that I have darker paint under the sticker and the panel is lighter...guess what you have too do??....get that panel resprayed..Also I am a worried about the quality of stickers companies use!!..Will it be hard to remove the sticker or will it be easy after a couple of months etc. I would thoe put some stickers on possibly my sideskirts or something along those lines since a respray of those parts wouldn’t cost the world.

i have tein suspesnion on my skyline, came with a sticker pack, no way known im going to put them down my door or on my boot (even came with a badge!)

though i did stick a small sticker of the tein man on my 4wd :(

:(

Is Rezz a d0rk? Absolutely. :(

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
