That's a bit like buying a stock car over one with a few boltons.

Clearly you should go for one that's already had the money spent making it better.

 

its more like not hiring a rent-a-car because it has a pod filter

Is hank away or something?

Also, any brake rotors and pads recommendation? Looking at DBA T3 slotted for fronts and T2 slotted for rears or Dixcel SD/HS (but HS is so expensive).

Pads Project Mu Bspec to go with Dixcel or Red Stuff to go with DBAs

Thoughts?

I have had the red stuff and yellow stuff with the dba slotted rotors.

Reds are a decent low dust pad for Street use. Yellows will take a couple stops before they have enough heat to bite hard, not great on the first few stops in near 0c weather and won't stand up to heavy track use if you have 300+kw, but will do the job if it's mostly stock. you will need something like the blue stuff or just bigger brakes in general if you have a lot of power and want to go hard on the track.

Who else is going to the drags Wednesday?

Won't be able to make it (bummer) would like to have another crack at the tree. Show us your reaction times. 11hr day and just got home from bmx. Toasted:-(
Thinking about changing the giant exhaust tip on my car, to a nice sensible twin-tipped muffler. 
Anyone have any thoughts on brands, sound, advice?

I just used magnaflow stuff because I got it at cost through work. Does it have a cat in the system? If there is no cat I would definitely go with a reactive rear not a absorptive muffler. I recall seeing a really good looking Lukey muffler tucked away really nice and neat in this thread a while ago?

I honestly don't know, I've never checked as it's one of those things I don't normally care about.

What rwhp? Does it have a spit dump pipe? Mine had a 3" to 3 1/2" inch when I got it so I just went 3" straight through after the split dump with a 100cell cat skinny long front and fat short rear absorption types. 110kph is about 3000rpm in 5th it planes out reasonsbly quiet but is no cruiser and has nice idle sound. The xr8 is twin 2 1/2" absorptions with 400cell cats and planes out pretty good cruising also and is quiet but meaty at idle. Depends on what you want. So only advice and didn't really answer the question. [emoji16]

The boost psi would be the determing factor from what it needs to push out. I'm only 340rwhp at nearly 18psi and the 3 1/2" fluttered firrrrrrrt pop bang. Doesn't really fart and pop now unless you heel toe the down shifts at high rpm. Pointless owning a skyline without a bit of noise!

Wheel alignment attempted, works 40k machine doesnt list the r32 or r33. R34 settings used. 2 hours of faffing about and its not much better lol have to attempt it again some other time....

Does it have the hicas or a lockout?

Could take the d-max down if I asked the boss! Lol. Lack of boost night!
Complete lock out, hicas completly removed. Its just irritating that u adjust one thing and it wacks everything out lol

I got 2 sets of front castor arm bushes before my mate Dave measured them to realise they are adjustables off a 34. Show us your actual mechanic! And Frankenstein car!

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
