The ECUTEK has RACEROM, the rev match is enabled (I am really bad at heel toe) this does it for you.

Also has flat foot shifting enabled ( ECUTEK uses both fuel cut and ignition retard working together), if it was just fuel cut I wouldnt use it, I like my pistons, if it was just ignition I wouldn't use it as I like my turbo.

 

It has launch control, but this feature has never been enabled.

I may be interested in a mint original AUD S15 with cash my way.

Minor mods are good but......

Disclaimer: No pi gs, no respays, no 400hp fully dayglow spec with body kits, no prior accident repairs.

I will have it checked out with a fine tooth comb.

I have been looking around lately at S15's, I want a good one though, and by good I mean mint, the better the car the less cash my way.

Example: I missed out one 2 years ago, it had 4k original km on it and it sold for 28k.

Both cars will end up at a local shop for inspection, Pulse Racing is close to me.

If you are looking for a p-plater fun weekend car - I have an AP1 S2000... 4.44 diff and some other fun stuff. I need a more work appropriate car :(

Shoot me a email with some more info and pics mate. How much do you think the S2000 is worth realistically.

Thanks for the email

 

Your car looks sweet but sadly not what I am after.

 

I wish you luck with your sale.

 

Cheers

Keen to hear your thoughts on the 86, coming from the STI, by the looks you got the limited ed. ver with the brembos, sachs and updated diff? 

Really liking these at the moment, just finding it hard to find $30K from the back of the sofa.

So far so good, I replaced the Michelins with some RS4's today, should be good once they are scrubbed in, I had some RS3's on my MX5 and liked them alot.

In the couple of days I've had it I'm loving it, even with the crappy Michelins it was a hoot, it's good to be back in a light(ish) RWD platform.

Power wise it wouldn't pull the skin of custard, but that not the point of it, or why I got it.

Wringing its neck, throwing it into a corner, playing with some oversteer is so much fun.

I also grabbed a cat back for it, a XForce 2.5" jobbie, sounds alot better, well you can hear it now anyway, with the stock cat back I couldn't even hear the exhaust, I estimate the power increase from the cat back is an astonishing 0%.

So, for future mods, some alignment bolts from whiteline are on the cards, stock camber adjustments are non existent, apart from toe, stock camber is 0.0 deg, I'm going to hammer some corners and see what the tyres are saying and dial some in from there.

Cheers

Awesome, good to hear Mark, i totally agree with you on that simple layout is best as i get older, more fun at less speed with less to go wrong.

Camber bolts only gave me -0.5 with them maxed out, rears are -1.3 L and 0.97 R (not adjustable).

I'll try some 14mm lower camber bolts for the front and see where that puts it, if all else fails I will grab some strut tops as well, I will grab some adjustable arms for the rear.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
