Hi All,

New to the forums and returning to the world of Subaru, i have just got myself a BRZ ;)

As everyone knows performance is disappointing, ive been looking at what i should start with to help fix that.... NZ is very limited for parts, whats some recommendations for getting parts to NZ without crazy shipping prices??

helloooooo

yes the forum is stuck in 1998 & we need a new section for these new cars! (and a international section)

we had at least 1x BRZ at the recent National Mega meet that was Flatnats '15

welcome to the boards!

Unfortunately the way the forum is set you'll need to link them. Upload to the likes of photobucket or similar and link image.

Re: mods... I believe speedsource does a mental supercharger kit, there are huge gains to be had from a retune, but I dont know anyone who does opensource tunes in nz on these yet. Might have to resort to e-tuner. There a few good ones out there

There's all manner of places who will sell you the bits you want/need

There's a few places who reflash them too

Shipping doesn't need to cost heaps? A turbo and some bits doesn't weigh all that much

Try nzperformance, tell him marky sent you

That car placed quite well in the superlap seriesor at least the rounds it did run

https://www.hpacademy.com/blog/how-much-more-power-can-you-make-on-e85/

They still have it (well ben and andre do) in queenstown where they have the HP Academy working out of Queenstown

Got featured in NZPC a wee while ago too if I could find it. Really nicely done car

Also have done a 1UZ into one recently too

Thanks for the tip, first thing im looking at will be an exhaust, from the header back and a tune. I been reading online and i will hold off on the turbo or supercharger till i have racked up a few more KMs. I can only find one bolt on off the shelf header in NZ http://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/products/exhaust/exhaust-manifolds/toyota/xforce-exhaust-manifold-header-t86-brz/ it doesn't seem anywhere as good as ones i can find overseas..... such as Borla or Nameless.

Anyways ill keep looking as i want to get these out of the way before the holidays :)

Welcome!! I was tossing up a BRZ after selling my v7 but went the with 2012 wrx instead. The BRZ's a good looking car especially your one, just a little too small for me :P.. I see you're in Auckland, you should try rock up to our last bastion point meet of the year this sunday

That project might have been dropped when Andre left. They just did suspension mods for a long time... it was very slow though.

If you blinked you would lap it at a track day.

Yup shot past it a few times. Looked like it handled ok though.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
