Oh hello Sir, do you have FCC approval for all that extra electronics emmissions and the substantial radiation threat you pose to passing aircraft?????

 

:rolleyes:

Sorry officer, I lost the glove box key :innocent:

It might seem a silly question - but what would you be doing different if you had a manual??

Ian

I would replace the standard ECU with a Power FC

:) cheers ;)

Hi SK,

Mate; is the Apexi Super Ignition Tinming Converter actually worth while using with the Stagea? :)

I just bought a Brand New one for $240US. I'll receive it in a few weeks hopefully. :lol:

Also ordered the Nismo fuel regulator from Nengun Performance that we chatted about, Ive already got a Z32 AFM, and will get the tune shop to supply high pressure fuel hose and clamps and install a Bosch 040 fuel pump.

With the above, and with my 141.3kw at the 4wheels (ebc, full 3inch exhaust, safc, r34gtt intercooler) what psi could the boost be safely used at, and what sort of power increase might the Stagea be able to obtain?

Kind regards mate, and cheers to you

Brendan :P

Hi Brendan, I have had my SITC installed for about a month, but I haven't had time to get it on the dyno and tune it. That's not quite correct, I have time to tune it, but no time to fit the exhaust and I figured it was a waste of dyno time until the exhaust was on.

I don't like running the standard turbo over 10psi, due to ceramic in the cat disease. I reckon you aren't going to get much over 150 4wkw until the turbo upgrade is done. But you will pick some average power by being able to manipulate the ignition separately from the A/F ratios.

;) cheers :)

:lol: Thanks for the advice SK.

It was a good price for a NEW Apexi Super-ITC, so I thought what the hell, just get one.

I'll have to decide whether I install it all (sitc, z32, fuel lines and pump) in December and have it re-tuned along with the Safc-II, or wait until Ive got a spare 2k for the turbo upgrade. Hmmmm.

Mind you, 150kw might be aok for a few years (allow me to sort the brakes and suspn first).

Cheers for your advice so far SK, greatly appreciated.

Brendan ;)

Manual conversion -> PowerFc -> No piggy backs needed

Hence, i am also trying to offload my DFA if someone wants it, i want the 79.95 that the kit cost, its already built and calibrated ready to go into the car, just never got around to installing it....

As always, will post Auswide :)

yeah maybe so, but the second mouse gets the cheese

do u know how u go about tunng one of these itc - do u stand over the engine bay while your cars doing 7000 rpm with the timing light and hope nothing goes bang.. sure u can judge 0-25 degrees but how can u 'guess' 30 or 40?

This might sound like a stupid idea, but where is this fabled "timing light"??

Im all new to this self service car thing :(

You buy one from your local Repco, SupaChaep, AutoBarn, AutoPro etc.

:) cheers :rofl:

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
