its a sad day for my turbo kit donor car :(

[jet86]

And updates. Yes I now have my white one. Just doing some run-in Kms on it atm, accumulating parts for boost, still wondering what my best option is for tuning in aus. Considering just getting one of visconsis e85 tunes for boost.

Brutal acceleration. 86 seems more fun though lol. Plus my s13 is quicker in a straight line anyway. All in all i probably would of been better off spending the money on the 86 to make it a gtr killer lol.

I went in a lightly modded r35 recently and it was brutally quick! Didn't get to drive it so can't comment as to how it feels vs Porsche turbos etc I've driven

Sorry for your ride man! Glad your ok!

I would follow the ecutek daisy chain. I had thought about using Visconti but went for a local shop instead. They will do a 98ron and e85 tune for me and the race rom stuff John is working on all flows down anyway via MRT in Sydney.

I've seen nothing but bad reviews about MRT on here, plus visconti has been fla out fine tuning the d-4s system, MRT will most likely just make you run massive port injectors as secondaries.

MRT are just the AU ecutek distributor (racerom feature updates) I have a local guy in SA doing the actual map tuning.

You are doing the maths wrong.

what else is twice as expensive?
Possibly imported foods, which have to be high due to the high weight low value nature of shipping food.
Buy from Farmer's markets and I assure you, the prices aren't that different compared to America.

It still doesn't explain why cars in Australia have to be priced so high; why not pay the same as the US market if Toyota Japan get the same money back in the end? We are essentially being fucked by the middle man.

Here's a list:
