    i only said that i dont care about tires because i have the stock rims, i was more concerned on having the engine running right and then upgrade it to 400hp, not at the wheels but at the engine, which i guess it would be a true 300whp?? and then i would do the rest starting with good brakes and good fat tires, i actually care about safety a lot, every time my family gets a new car the first thing we look at is the safety rating and airbags, that's why we have a 2009 lancer: active stability control,traction control,lots of airbags,running 245/18 tires etc...

    i've been driving for 2 years, almost everyday, my first car was a mk3 supra running 350whp, i never had a crash, i'm always very careful and i drive responsibly, i just love the fact of having some power on tap and having my car customized and stand out from the rest... now i dont have a job anymore and cant afford big modifications but i do plan on getting one and i love the z :)

    btw mum wants me to keep it, while dad thinks it's too expensive to fix if something goes wrong, that's the reason why he wants me to sell it, and the reason why i'm still on my L's it's only because i havent had the chance to get my logs yet

    I'm aware of this. There was a whole big problem with the tuner i had not being capable of tuning a Wolf ECU - and at the same time, draining what little funds I do have.
    I am currently saving again, and looking at getting it retuned by someone else.

    I bought the car with those engine specs btw, so there hasn't really been big money spent on my behalf.

    What kind of system do you have over there? Here it's do L's computer test, get given a logbook, drive for a year and fill out logbook and then do practical P's test.

    here it's like:

    do computer test, get L's, wait till you're 17, do practical exam, get logs, do 25 hours, do hazard perception test and alcohol exam and boom you have your red P's

    I'm making 320rwkw with similar (no cams but Nistune ECU) but apparently the turbo's pretty much ran outa puff at 20psi lol saying that not sure if the wastegates are wound right open, but I've heard max efficiency for the GT28R's are 22psi? (Z1 / AMS's versions) Pushing it to 25psi doesn't' really do anything? Only going on previous posts though.

    Have a few options in mind.
    Apparently Ben doesn't like to do Wolfs.

    Have heard some very good things about Paden at Unique Automotive in villawood.

    Try Adam At JEM in Ingleburn as well .. very experienced tuner
    can't hurt to call and ask about the Wolf ECU.

    Will be doing my final flexfuel tune there with the Haltech.

    Will give him a call! :)
    Not looking at getting another tune done for a while, as I'm a broke uni student, and still on my P's... I can't even drive the damn thing lol
