Agree with all of the above and as long as it fits your needs and it's the tinkering you love, then why not. What i cannot understand is the people who spend Nissan GTR35 money on upgrading something, i would much rather just buy the Nissan in the first place.

If the worst comes to the worst and you get bored / have to get rid / something breaks, you can always rip off the charger and sell it as a standard car

Wet leaves are a good substitute at this time of year; it really doesn't like wet leaves.

No snow here. My normal S wouldn't move in snow on stock rubber so it has winters but they won't see the SC toy.

It wont get much use now until it warms up I suppose but I will use it for the school run as rugrat loves it

what I've noticed is that the cat really quietness the exhaust. I put that on for the MOT and the bungs. It's civilised like that but I darent leave the cat on.

it went in for a geo tweak after the suspension fuduckery i did wot got me an MOT

my rear camber can't get to spec as something is bent in there so the local place setup both sides at about 2deg to reduce cross camber (the right is 2'48, the left is 2'07). I've yet to see dry conditions to test this

other than that she's running ok. I have the cat on still, it's much more subtle like this

to pass the mot on emissions was it just a case of putting the oem cat on? no other tweaking to the map?

do you have a wideband fitted and did you need to disable the feedback? as obviously the readings will be different with a cat on?

Yeah cat on, bungs in (as it failed on noise)

didnt touch the map and left WB as it was (on), i have 3 maps and used the one AJ recommended

i believe without feedback it runs richer? On the old map it certainly did - my garage wall is testament to this and it stank/guzzled

i didnt see any output and didnt discuss emissions with em

Leaving the cat installed will fry it I would have thought. Not cheap that fancy metal foil or whatever it is inside
