1. The engine swap - when, where, who, why, what yr/kms on the engine.
2. The FMIC, why no BoV and any brands/names ets?
3. What clutch is it, feels like excedy?
4. The MRT Performance sticker under the bonnet - is this because of an ecu/Tune?

Any information you have please either pm me or post it up on this thread! Will be extremely helpful.
The engine must have been swapped after I sold it, I traded it in to total Nissan.
The fmic was put on after I sold it
The original clutch was slipping when I sold it
she had a basic ecutec tune on her.
There where a few things from MRT under the bonet but from a quick look they are all gone.
The suspension must have been changed as I had originally had d2 coilovers on her but them changed to tein coilovers. She was much lower them he is now.
Any other question?

True - the factory solinoid can do everything I need anyway. Dont know why I keep thinking EBC..

Doug at STechnik seems to think it has EcuteK but im not 100% sure.

If it doesn't have a tune I'll look into my options: Might have access to a Possum Link "see post above" or I'll go the EcuteK or Verso path.

From what I've seen a Verso tune+dyno is about $1000 ? will search the forum and ring around tomorrow.

Goes rather well now it has the restrictor in place.

Had a good laugh at Stechnic - we figure the last owner never had one in the car and was running turbo waste gate pressure for the last year and a bit.

Next step is finding a EcuteK tuner and getting them to check it out.
