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!

He aligned it the same day they had the machiene calibrated so is all good now. What do you do for work/job?

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
