DJsickboy Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Hello to all, just joined as collecting my black Z GT on Sept 1st. I can't wait. Got a list of mods already...hehe Look forward to talking with you all and maybe going to a few meets. Cheers Dj Quote
martinmac Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Hi bud and welcome to the forum. Get some pics up when you collect it. Where abouts are you, plenty of meets about. And what mods are you looking at. Quote
DJsickboy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Hello!! I am in the Cambridge area and mods wise.... After 3 months or so... Full DC exhaust + manifold with high flow cats. Pop charger Wheels.. (not sure but got to have black centres and polished rims i reckon) Cam Re map ESR set up for camber etc... Wot you think? Quote
DJsickboy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Your not kidding Zummertor.... first new motor on a new plate and the car i have wanted for 3 years... like a little kid on Xmas eve already and i got a month to wait...sleepless nights since placing the order...hahaha Quote
martinmac Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Sounds like a fair shopping list. We have a semi regular evening meet at Thurrock services if you fancy a quick blast down the M11. I also stay at the forwentways travel lodge evry two weeks. Quote
Stew Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 The DC headers are expensive (labour wise) for the gains you get. Remap is a dodgy one. Best to get a piggyback ecu system and find a good tuner. Can't comment on a cam as not heard much about people changing them here The rest sounds good. Quote
DJsickboy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Martinmac... you can count on the Thurrock meet, thats ideal. Stew, the remap question...hmm... maybe a Mines ECU then? You lot are on the ball, I only confirmed my membership an hour ago.. hehe I should be working right now but hey some things can wait.. haha Quote
Stew Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Not sure about the mines one. Have a search as a there was a post about these before. Utec has seen good results and I know of at least one Haltech stand alone that has been used. Quote
Zummertor Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Me thinks you aren't going to do much today now !!! How many days to go or are you counting the hours ? Quote
Stew Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I'm guessing you've trawled the US forums? That'll be the next week gone! Quote

bigphil Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Welcome to the forum, if you think your wait is bad we have to wait until June next year for our GTR and its killing me. Forget changing the headers on the car total waste of time unless going forced induction. Flow rates on the new car are much better in relation to the cats so don't expect huge gains from those either. Exhaust and induction will give better sound, better throttle responce and does feel stronger in the midrange. With the money saved on cats and headers get a good suspension setup and change the brake pad material and then you will reap better rewards. Quote
