Oh hi.

I've been lurking here for a while for the wealth of motivation in the build threads and such.

I has a '96 GT4. Being in NZ, it is a JDM facelifted one - no trispokes here, though unfortunately noone in the car's past ever thought to pick up projectors.

It currently looks like this:


Anyway, hi, sup etc.

Oh, I have a build thread here, and am much too lazy to cross-post everything!

Oh my, haven't posted for a while.

Adventures since I last posted:

- check engine light - code 54'd. When the clutch was replaced, it doesn't appear they took the time to fill the I/C too stringently. No harm done.

- replaced the air filter (still panel, still stock box) because the old one was full of badgers and ****

- went and got the car weighed with a full tank + me in it: 1500kg. Fatties gonna fat.

- dyed the headliner black - still need to remove the sunroof unit and get the cover out and black that, as well as some of the plastic stuff (around the lights etc)


- Put it on STM's dyno - with downpipe and exhaust only - made 158.5wkw. Clearly not enough, so that day I arranged to pick up a Gizzmo MS-IBC from a mate.


- Installed EBC - later moved it to the DIN pocket under the headunit - the intention is to move it to the centre console at some point.


- Got the EBC tuned by STM again, because 3rd gear pulls on the motorway are a pretty good way to lose your licence. Went to 16psi and left it there (because after 222,xxxkm, pushing a ceramic turbine is not quite the best idea), made 174wkw. It's running rich as hell, so there's plenty more horseponies to be made through a link + tune, or a turbo that can actually manage to hold boost to redline - it tapers to around 14.8 at 7k.


Or both. Where's my credit card at...
