well yeah, greatly.

what boost are you planning to run?

what cams are you going for?

Devs will be able to give you a much better answer I can cos I don't know.

depends what runs out first, boost/fuel/....stock bottom end

Not sure what cams. But the adjustable cam gears will give a nice lumpy idle if wanted.

I will post a the specs of the parts once I have talked to Jezz later today.

Thank you all for the comments & advice as this is my first RB & I want it done right the first time.

Mate. I'm in Singleton an hour in land from Newcastle. I've just spent $30,000 on my engine giving my 260RS a massive upgrade with Powertune in Sydney.

I have GTR N1 - 7 turbos for sale with dump pipes. As well as lumpy cam shafts. Plus a heap of other bits and pieces off the 260RS.

My car was reliably making 415bhp with stock internals for many years before a big end bearing on number 2 cylinder packed it in.

Hit me up if you're interested to pop up to Singleton for a look.

As for Newcastle tuners. Try Black track at the end of the freeway. I rate their work highly. But they are near impossible to get to answer the phone, so just pop in one day and have a yarn to em.

Jezz has ordered Tomei type b poncams and os giken adjustable camgears

I really can't rely on the factory boost gauge so I thought I could get the video output from the Halech into the aux input on my clarion head unit. Or get a multi function display that runs independently. Any thought or recommendations?

Thank you in advance.

Out of curiosity, How did you manage to spend $2500 replacing the headunit?

Clarion motorised 7" screen DVD iPod CD BUILT IN NAVIGATION reverse camera sub & amp

The navigation built into the head unit really bumped the price about $1500 just for the Clarion plus the rest & fitting

I really wanted it to look original when the screen is not in use.

Sorry been working last few days...

I have GT2560R's 7 ball already not sure of the difference, what other bits do you have?

It's in from this Saturday so I should pick it up next week. I might bring it for a run up the valley for a shake down. & catch up.

Finally it has started, next week the power will be unleashed, I hope!

Haltech will arrive Monday morning Just the fuel pump & injectors to go in so hopefully mid week pick up & test fly....
Thank you to everyone that did reply & help me find the correct way to go, I'm confident the car will be great UNTILL I need more.
Because as I have seen everyone wants more.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      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 🙏

      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

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
