Yes! ive seen those vids too, some awesome driving there, love the roundabouts haha absolute class act! Who here tunes their own ecus using nistune? im being led to believe that for the 440cc injectors all i need to do is load a VLT base map and change the injector 'k' value to suit the larger injectors... surely it cant be that easy.... (this would be to get it running, with stock boost) Also has anyone had any luck trying to get some sort of antilag going? ie perhaps welding in a couple of extra injectors into cylinders 2 and 6 and flooding those cylinders with raw fuel?

anyone know if you can raise the engines rev limiter past 6200 with the nistune software? - its purely for the wank factor would make for some good bench racing if i could push the needle out of scope of the oem tacho (say 7200rpm) oh and is it true that the rb30 has a major harmonic issue (crank flexing) at 7500rpm?? or urban myth?

My VLT runs Original Turbo Engine , GK Tech Cooler Kit with 600x300x76 Intercooler , Top Gun 8mm Leads , Stock T3 , Stock Turbo Injectors , 3TA ECU , 13 PSI and Rajab Tune , 160 RWKW and I comfortably beat a Tuned Auto VZ SS LS1 and a Manual VT LS1 , but then again VL'z are way lighter than VS'z and got 3.45 gears not 3.08 .

Haha, yeh i've recently driven my bros car, hes got a 32 gtst with a bit of suspension n ****.. and it leaves the vl for dead handling wise, not so much for overall grip, but more so for the fact that it does what u want it to do exactly when u do it, u dont have to compensate so much for **** suspension and body roll n **** haha. so its nice. everything in that vid was on a standard turbo bottom end, but yeh it has fresh n/a in it now Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
