i was told by toshi a new rechip 200 bux if u start putting more mods on?.. Hmm..

well thats expensive as hell... and u dont need dyno tuning for a rechip... a good tuner will know what to do without having to dyno it...

everytuner should have maps for certain mods.

But not every car is the same, to get the most out of it a dyno tune would be recomended. Say all that needs to happen is my fuel pressure gauge to read wrong by a psi or two, and it could throw out the tune.

My thoughts anyway.

YO, kursed, sorry to hijack your thread for a second, but i saw your car in the pics of the sydney meetup? your car loks uncannilly similiar to mine, cep't a have different wheels,

anyway, i can't help but notice that your car sits a bit lower to the ground than mine, what suspension you got under there homie? is it stock s13?

hey bro, the cefiro sits on pedders sports ryder suspension, if you want i can dig up the exact part numbers so you can make sure they have the right parts in stock before heading into the workshop if you like. just pm me for it

Like i said... for minor mods like exhaust, AFM, boost and filter u dont need to dyno it... even if it is reading wrong its not going to be any different from before moding... u normally only need to pay for a simple dyno run... never tuning on a dyno... only time u should be paying for a lot of tuning on a dyno is for tuning SAFCs or Power FCs etc.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
