You should look into getting a fuel controller, fuel defencer,turbo timer,and boost controller just for reliability reasons.It's usually recommend that your fuel be re-mapped after every engine mod,whether it's internal or external.Rotary's need to be rich,they can't take lean conditions,so just be safe.

yes they are advan rims so cant be too shabby. Ive got some new rims for it, ill post up a pic in a second...
i bought through www.prestigemotorsport.com.au
you guys wouldnt be able to use his services though, Aus only i believe. The auctions in japan dont have a stocklist as such, none accessible by the general public anyway, the way it worked for me, is that i paid a service fee, and my broker sent me pics and auction reports of cars that i might like, from there we discuss bid limits and the car is purchased on my behalf... easy as that

FC? go with fuel defencer and fuel mods before you do boost mods. everything hates going lean, rotarys will punish your wallet for it.

Simply Awesome.

In australia we are handicapped when it comes to jap cars, i mean we never really got any sold here, and all the imports arnt really that cheap. Also, there arnt very many decent aussiedrift cars in.... I want to import something, like an R30 but dont have the cash..... Sweet Rims too, what are their dimensions. Very deep dish, how much did they set you back?

Keep it up! Awesome car man
