yeah, def not gonna run it on cheap 91 california gas, just wondering if anybody heard of this tuner. i asked some japanese folks at work and they say its a popular exhaust company in japan with a long history (70s~). they said it was popular back in the day and offered more products and services but has dwindled a bit but still renown for excellent sound. they also recall a 8 second gtr shop demo car around mid 90s. they said the tuning parameters were prob done in mid 90s as well so its way out of date regardless. ill have SZ have a look at it when im done with my swap, maybe theyve come across them before. time to send in my na ecu for socketing.

I'm sure it's great quality, but the fuel in Japan is not the same as the US. I believe it's roughly equivalent to 94 octane in the states.
