    Bump this for tonights episode! 8pm BBC2

    Awesome mate, your going for the stage 4 + secret head spec aren't you? I'm waiting for them to release the cams to see if they are going to be suited for my setup

    No probs man. Half the companies on that list I've never even heard of, so I'd go with someone who knows what their doing and people have heard of. Oh and by the way, stick clear of that dyno tuner. Recently reformed from Rising Sun Performance. Only use them for parts and not work. Big name in the Skyline world, my dad owns one and I've heard a lot of bad stories from him about them.

    My ringlands went on a ct9 at stock boost lol.

    Awesome price mate, suprised it hasn't gone. I'd take the shell, would love one of the last 82's.

    On the HKS website it says that software is not included with the ecu and can only be mapped by a HKS dealer http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/products/electronics/computer/f-con/vpro/index.html Heres the dealer network for the UK mate http://www.hkseurope.com/dealers/dealerdetails.asp?Country=UK

    I believe you can do it through their website mate. Bare with me I might be able to link you up.

    Would you consider a swap for a gt28 kit mate? http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/60071-brand-new-zisco-gt28-manifold-downpipe-and-screamer/

    Who does your powdercoating and zinc coating mate? Looks awesome.

    Love that power steering pot mate, it looks better in the car than it does on its own. Your engine bay is minty fresh! Just needs an engine now
  11. AdamB
    Can try mate, but I would doubt they would have a clue tbh.

    260bhp is the max achieved over here in the UK I believe. Guys in Jamaica have had 300WHP. 240bhp is probably the most people tend to go before forging.

    Austec is the only one I can think of. Believe you have to be a HKS dealer for them to give out software to map their ecu's.

    Yes mate is a Tom's kit, not sure if its genuine or not, I don't know if Tom's marked their parts. The front bumper has no markings though, I suspect its a replica as the fit is ok, but stil quite messy for my liking. Not sure about the skirts or spats though as I haven't had them off. There's plenty of monster EP's over the water mate lol. I'm hoping she will be done by the end of summer, so may be able to pop a long to a few towards the end of the season, but we'll see. I may end up deciding to keep her off the road a little longer till shes 100% even the body work. Turbo is a b

    Thanks Jamie Kinda have a plan to get all the expensive parts out the way first, then I can just go on a spree of buying all the cheap little niggly bits lol.

    Nah cambelt will be fine straight from the word go. I would just ask the procedure they took in undertaking the cambelt change. If they say the removed the engine mount then your problem could be there. Sounds a bit better than going in all guns blazing and start pointing the finger. You could try getting a friend to rev the engine and look under the bonnet, see how much movement the engine has. It should be as little as possible.
  17. AdamB
    Is there no way you can phone them like? Make some sort of contact?

    Well I thought it was about time I made a build thread after being around for so long lol. I'll start at the top! I first got into starlets back in 2010, my mrs brought a glanza which had the usual mods, exhaust, air filter, manifold etc, but still running standard boost. We only had it for a couple of months and had to sell because we couldn't afford to keep it. Once it went this sparked a fire inside and I wanted to try the GT, as I secretly loved the older shape. I spent a couple of months looking for what I wanted and in the end I got impatient, I ended up buying a 93 GT from a me

    Hmm I would have guessed the damper springs had fallen out the friction plate, but if there are no rattles to be heard from the gearbox I doubt it would be this.
  20. AdamB
    Ah sorry mate mis-read the post. How long has it started doing this? Do you hear any rattles?
  21. AdamB
    As long as the map sensor is able to read the pressure, and is within the stock ecu's safety parameters, theres no problem
  22. AdamB
    Yep remove the old one. It is possible to use double springs, but no need for such low pressures.

    What clutch was fitted? Some clutches do require a "bedding" in stage where it will judder on take off, but will eventually wear off after around 500 mile or so.
  24. AdamB
    Depending on the volumetric efficiency, the efficiency of the turbo, then why not? Its a hybrid, plus exhaust system, air filter, fmic. You'll probably find that even with just breathing mods it will be around 160bhp, providing the engine is healthy. Check out the power leader board Socks made, go through peoples build threads and see what mods they have. Go compare You would make more power on an aftermarket management system because power is made using ignition advance, you get little to no power from adjusting the AFR.

    The stock ecu is able to accomodate upto 0.8 bar of boost pressure before its safety cut feature kicks in, aka fuel cut. Some systems use an ignition cut which is much safer for the engine. After this boost pressure you will need a fcd do combat and fool the stock ecu into thinking its boosting lower than it is. In conjunction with this a fpr also needs to be added as the stock ecu's fueling capabilites is past. A means of increasing fuel pressure increases the flow rate at the injectors, this isn't without its problems though as it outs more strain on the fuel pump, and the pump will actually
