On the up side, your car is now running. What was the problem?

They found that one injector was faulty and the others were sticky. Hence no fuel entering the engine. Total cost with fitting Z32 AFM and belts witch I supplied to the front pulleys cost $1170. I was wondering how it cost so much. Suppose i'll just have to wait for the final bill and see. They said they put it on the dyno and the clutch started slipping. Not sure if they will charge me for 2xtuning cost. I got quoted 500 for a the tune.

Not much I can do about it now, Just bite the bullet pay the cash and enjoy the ride. Next car i'll get will be cheap to run! At least when i'm 40 I can look back and say I did that and had a lot of fun along the way. No regrets baby!! haha.

200-210kwaw with a big fat torque curve. Sucks you have to keep spending up big mate but at least it's nearly ready (at a cost)

I did it when I was your age & I'm still doing it now & I'm ancient, there's not a cut of point you just get a bit smarter on how you spend the money modding........and you also realize that having the biggest cock in the school doesn't always get the girl.

we must just be getting wires crossed with our conversions on bhp, ie a jdm sti6 276bhp a stock jdm sti7 276 bhp modified and tweaked etc always gets a around 350/360 bhp on the rolling road :

i dont know what that is in kw or at atw i just know what i have seen loads of times in the uk, when we have rolling road days

Is it possible for mods to ban other mods?
