Never a truer word spoken Gerard! :wink:

...unless you went with a 4.4 or higher! :twisted:

Great replies there thanks.

I suppose ill tell you my intentions with the car.

Its a daily dríven weekend warrior. I have 5 cars including one type4d sports sedan, 1990 pulsar rally car. Very quick car.
As for the diff in it now, its a stock poverty pack non lsd 1.6L one, which i thought was a 4.3 ratio standard? Someone please correct me on this one.

I dont plan on bigger brakes yet.

As for the paint, the car will definately need a paintjob in the next year or two but for now im thinking id prefer it was more competitive because a paintjob wont make me drive it harder lol.

In terms of money spending on it, im not celebrating spending a grand, i have a budget of about $500 a month. but more than that is unrealistic to spend on it i think, so this is month two.

With the megasquirt Im definately convinced that the MAF sensor is definately very restrictive and im confident to tune the car on a dyno that i have available for a very cheap price. This also allows for future upgrades.

As for semi slicks, I have a set already that ive used for a few track days, these are shared between the NA and my N13 pulsar.

No more suggestions anybody else? Nolathane? Seat and harness.. nothing else?

Your NA is turbo? What diff ratio have you chosen?

Megasquirt power through the MAF because the flappy door used in the maf is being held partially closed by a strong spring. Its like a throttle butterfly always trying to push itself closed upstream of the real butterfly.

When you removed maf i assume you used temperature correced MAP? what computer was this on?

Cheers,
Dann

Hey mate, i found your thread and im up to page 8. great stuff. Your car is basically identical to what im going for. but im just 19 and red p's so ill probably do what i did with my rally car and just slowly build up a block outside of a car.

So i gather that you would agree with me putting in the full plethora of chassis bracing and then getting a MSPnP for funsies and future upgrades?

Another question is there much point replacing the intake pipe between the AFM and the throttle body?

Cheers i appreciate your help and opinion.
