How much faster?
« on: Sep 17, 2002, 10:45AM »
Just wondering how much extra power and how much faster my car will go now after the mods I put in on the weekend, any ideas?

I put 4 Mugen seatbelt pads on... front and back,
and I have some Mugen stickers ready for the windows...

how much better will my car be?

OK....im not sure if that was an attempt at humour or not. I got the whole stickers joke, but please tell me the mugan part was part of the humour. You see, if you said Nismo stickers, that would have been funny, but the whole mugan thing....pushing it there! Correct me if im wrong, but mgan is a honda tune up company?
Anyways, what the hell has stickers got to do with the performance thread???
:P

correct me if im wrong, but ollie owns a HONDA, and so has as much right to put a Mugen sticker on his car as we do to put a Nismo sticker on ours.  ;) :) hehe

oh...in that case, the mugan sticker works for you! Sorry, I just assumed you drove a nissan!
Umm...i doubt any increased performance, or for that matter, a decrease!

If www.riceboypage.com is to be believed,

The stickers will give you an extra 784hp.

The racing seat belts should give you at least another
200hp on top of that.

Total: Another 984hp for your car!

Does anyone know where I can find some NISMO stickers anyway?

I've looked everywhere around Adelaide, and the only ones I've found are tiny, save going to the Japanese Nismo website.

Cheers, 91nismotrx. You just reminded me of Adelaide Jap Motorsport. I'll check there.
Thanks for the website too.  ;)

Had my car Dyno'd today, after the mods... (stickers and seatbelt pads)

and my car now has 675hp at the wheels...  not a bad increase.

Quite happy with the outcome...   ;D

I know Jetspeed sell them, not sure if they send interstate [or if there's a store in SA]? Another place is Evolution R - they have loads of nismo stuff including stickers / gloves / gearstix / etc. Direct link the stickers page Here

ollie i think you are mislead. from my experience stickers..especially performance stickers add torque not so much kw and hp. i have a northfeild sticker on my car and not only does it add value but gets me off the line quicker. i am thinking off even pouring glue all over my car and then throwing rice all over it. not the cheap stuff but the sun rice brand we all know and love. should get me to low 11's if the glue dry's alright. but anyhow, red stickers i hear are the go.......... ::)

I got a Fox and LBZ sticker on my car (motox brands)....my car can now clear 120 foot doubles because of them.

Green (go colour) stickers make your car go faster than red ones (stop colour)...I learnt that in Rice 101 at uni.

hahahahaha

oh but on a serious note,

why put a northfield sticker on your car? to advertise to would-be thieves that there is a stereo system inside. It bewilders me why u see so many cars with Pioneer, clarion, kenwood, northfield stickers etc, on their car.
Oh, unless of course u have car security to rival fort knox. in that case, i take it back.

as we always say here, just my 2 cents worth.  ;)

When I put my stereo system in,  security will be high on my priorities.

that's why the first sticker I put on my car when I get the stereo will be:


Beware of the Dog.

;D

I am proof that an immobiliser and alarm is not enough to deter thieves breaking in or trying to break in. If your car looks the goods, then they WILL break in if they want to. I never had any audio stickers on.

ok....as i said the sticker is coming off. alarm etc. is better than nothing, what else can we do. not much! hey that brings me to a question. can we remove our door locks completely and just use the remote to open and close our doors? then theives wont have any locks to pick.....hence safe audio gear. i am a bit worried as i have just spent 2k on my system.

its not nice to talk about your girlfriend like that ollie!  :P


as for door locks, i was gonna remove mine in time... but they dont pick the locks, they use a coat hanger or a metal strip with notches in it. u wanna remove your door handles... that would keep theives out... well, they could still break your windows.
