Yes that's what i thought and hope too. .. just to add , gtst calipers are going in so I'm thinking i should be safe as i read on another forum the NA has a banjo type fitting to be attached to the NA calipers ? Maybe that could be the reason why compatibility is only for the gtst because of the calipers... Well i hope it'll fit...

I'll reply here rather than PM, so the (my) answer is findable by others later, assuming it's correct of course.

I would say that the chances that the "car" side of the brake lines would be better than 99.9% sure to be identical, regardless of whether it was an NA, a turbo, a 2dr or a sedan.  Both chassis (2dr and 4dr) came as both turbo and NA, with the brakes appropriate to the engine.  So I wouldn't worry about that.

If you're putting turbo brakes onto an NA car, then yes, absolutely, the only sensible thing to do is use the turbo flexible lines.  They will definitely match the caliper, where the lines for the NA brakes will almost certainly not match the caliper.

umm yeah, they were probably removed with the brake lines.  they are short hard lines with male fittings at both ends which would allow the female at the caliper and the female at the braided line to mate up

you'd be better off with a conversion package to the 324mm gtr discs. If only you were in contact with someone that has those discs, the GK Tech caliper adapters, the calipers machined to suit, and with GK Tech braided lines, all for sale as a package.....rather than a2m'ing around with stock brakes.

oh wait...I have that :P

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
