So, after around 2 and a half months of f**king around with insurance companies and the various idiots and cheapass bastards on nissansilvia, I got a new car.

For those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about...

Previous car:

Picked this up on saturday

It's 100% stock, apart from the Watanabe RS-8 wheels.

And yet, it still flies.

This thing is awesome, you can throw it into anything, and it sticks to the road, for lack of a better term, "like shit on a blanket"

:D

nice magna

One of the guys on NS imported a black one through us and I got to drive it. Its pretty nice, bit sluggish, but its like a more mature Evo 2/Lancer GSR. Apparently you can get good power out of em too.

Now you'll have to post up an intro in the 4 Door Sedan section.

For a stock car, I think it goes pretty well. Much better than the S13.

The two inch (I think) exhaust is really, really restrictive, and so is the exhaust manifold.

But you can just upgrade them all to EVO 1/2/3 items.

Another guy that just bought one, he put on a few simple mods, and managed to run a 13.8

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
