On a turbo charged motor WITHOUT NOS you only need a fuel cut.

Cut the fuel on a turbo charged motor and you get what??? Nothing.. there is no fuel to create a bang.

NOS has its own delivery system, which is why you need an Ignition cut.

Cut the fuel, nos still goes in and bang.. leanout goodbye motor.

I dont think its that at all. Apexi say high horspower cars at high rpm are in danger of a split second lean out by hitting a fuel cut. Which is why they have the pro version. I dont think they were thinking of nos at the time of making it as the japs arnt too keen on nos.

Yeah thats right R32-GTS, Sorry Cubes. Makes no differece NOS or not, NOS is not fuel its just extra oxygen source. This means its to stop the momentary lean out when fuel is cut but ignition is stil present (until theres no fuel left).

ok my bad with NOS being fuel. lol :)

Irrespective, you do not want a fuel only cut with NOS.

I still seriously doubt there would be enough fuel left over to ignite and cause any problems with our every day power figures.

If fuel cuts were a real danger ecu's would not be using them.

if you buy a regular power FC, and use a Bee-R rev limiter, you'll have all the dual rev limiter functionality, plus the Bee-R unit has a handbrake sensor too for launch control. I don't know if the Power FC pro has that. Both of them cut ignition and dump fuel into exhaust on hitting the rev limit (ie chitty chitty bang bang + flames = bye bye catalytic converter)

    • 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.
