"Looks ****ing tough sitting on the gram lights with the semis :) Does this mean it's driving? Or being on the trailer is it still needing a tune yet?<BR><BR>---dens

yeh unfortunetly still needs a tune.. trailer'd it to a mates workshop we're we are wiring + tuning.. had a few little wiring issues with the cdi.. trying to get ahold of the actual reccomended cabling to wire it is almost impossible :(.. but i guess it'll all be done properly, so then all i have to do is plug in a built motor with my weapon turbo and dial 35psi :D... **** yeh... only thing that's looking a little odd-ball on the outside now is the stock plates.. unfortunetly the plates i want are $2300.. so they might still be on layby for a while hah

hopefully i'll be able to give everyone some kind of feedback as to how the car goes within a week or two. as a start, i think we'll only be running 7-8psi through it as this now has to be my daily... so i can play around with the blue car a little :p

Absolutley stunning mate, Very very nice indeed. I shudder to think what it has cost so far. I'm just adding up the cost of the earls fittings alone and getting the shivers.

Well done mate and hope the tuning and all that goes off without a hitch. Very Keen to see any video of this beatiful little beast in any kind of action.

thanks mate, and to everyone else for the feedback :D.. so far i'm pretty stoked with the car apart from the paint.. there's dings/a few lil scratches etc (but i'm a picky ****er :p) and i want to weld all the holes in the engine bay and respray etc.. i've still got some more goodies to go on... and one very speshal part that came of a nismo march cup car from japan (my lil bit of authentic jdm-ness :p).. i've started gathering bits and pieces to build a motor.. but that won't be for sometime unfortunetly as the funds have been directed into the blue car now :(

cost? fark, i added it up the other day, and considering its still got a stock motor.. the number is pathetic lol. the biggest spend would have to be the computer setup. coming in now at close to 5.5k its something that will definately not need changing on the car.. and should see me well into what i plan to do with it.

i'm keen as to see any kind of movement at all out of this thing!!.. right now i'm not even concerned about how much power it makes.. i just wana drive it!.. did some more wiring on it today.. with any luck i might hear it start tomorow afternoon :)

well boys and girls.. it has awoken. started it for the first time today.. and let me tell you... the sound of a 3'' exhaust capped off with a titanium tin can sounds sexually drool worthy :D. got her onto the dyno early tonite, first time really playing around with a sm4.. and wow... i know why i had to fork out so much for it,,... and the difference between a budget and high end ecu. all the way through the rev range, the operation/transistion of differnt throttle positions is seemless, running, ecu capabilities... i can't say enough. anyway. after some tuning, heard the screamer pipe open for the first time, :DDDDDDDDDDDD... was so good to hear the gate finally open.. the pissed off sound it has about it now both on and off boost just makes my heart stop lol.. makes all the effort of the last few years all worth it... unfortunetly the fuel pump seems to have a few gremlins in it and stopped us from getting any power runs/continue to finish the tune.. picked a new pump up on the way home.. so i'll be throwing that in tomorow and hopefully strap it down for another run

got the new pump in today... chucked her back on the dyno and pretty much had to retune everything.. (shows how ****ed the old pump was). anywho, ended up making 113kw @ wheels on 8-9psi.. pretty stoked with that result with the tune we put into it. we couldn't run any less boost pressure due to that being the set wastegate pressure :(... so instead we had to compensate in the tune for safety damn it. so we had to run it reasonably rich without basically any timing.. had my first drive today.. back to its home in the garage :D, only really got to give it a stab in 1st and 2nd.. **** me... the way it comes on compared to the other turbo micra's i've been in is sooooooo different.. and best of all.. it gets on boost and just takes off.. thanks semi slicks :p.. all in all, i'm extremely happy with everything i've done to the car bar the exhaust.. its so loud.. not unbareable but i won't be able to drive it untill i put another muffler somewhere underneath the car... if i don't, its only a matter of days before the neighbours ring up the local five-o. anyway. i'll give it a good wash tomorow, and might throw some pics up.. got a bit of video footage.. but its all in proper hd and i have to somehow figure out how to convert it into normal vid to upload it... any help lol? so hopefully i'll be able to quiet it down and get it registered next week :D

Hey man sorry only just got back late last night after weekend away (Mt Tamborine). 113kw is very good figure for that boost level! Is it very laggy? (what revs?)

See your tuner is using Dyno Dynamics, Whats the name of the place you got tuned? Bet your putting out ****loads more power than my lil beast!

"what plates are you looking at getting!!!
Click to expand...

lol. wait n see! allthough i did borrow these off the old man on the day... everyone had a good laugh lol.




i dare say its making more power then 113kw.. the tuner himself said his dyno reads a little on the low side... but meh, i'm not gonna have a whinge about how every dyno is different etc. :D. i'm happy as larry with it... laggy? mmm, not reeeeeally, allthough i can't make any real comment as when i drove it home it was peak hour, and i only got to give it a squirt once in 1st and a lil in 2nd. everyone was looking at me lol.... i've ordered another muffler! started it up just before... god damn its sex, got a roadworthy today, might go try my luck at getting it registered tomorow without taking the car with me.. if they wana see it, it'll have to wait untill i get the 2nd muffler.. cause there's no way i'm driving it to the transport department as loud as a v8 supercar lol. mmmm. not really into advertising the place my tuner works for, as it didn't really have anything to do with them, i ended up wiring the entire car myself, and vonny (the tuner) just tuned it. great guy etc. he's located just down behind autobarn kinda.

I think you mentioned hime before a while back, Is he or does he have somethink to do with owning Autobarn? Maybe wrong but remember something or someone down that way does. Are you saying your car in up there with mine in terms of noise?
The gates gonna be loud anyways!
Should get the blue Micra on the rollers to get abit of a opposite ends of the scale sorta thing?
