  1. This is just my opinion, so please don't flame. Those wheels look very similar to the wheels you already ahve on the car. You'd notice more with the kit I reckon. In terms of the lightness of the wheels, that's not going to make that much difference just cruising around the place.
  2. everything that you've said so far makes perfect sense. Now, all I;m waiting for before going ahead, is your real world test results to see if the little beauty performs as it's supposed to. Also, I'll wait to see how many things need to be connected up. And then next comes the fuel modifyer. hehehe Cheers Gary
  3. I have 2 x Bridgestone Potenza GIIs for sale in Sydney. They are 235 45 r17. About 70% tread left. Camber wear on one side only. looking for $50 each. Or make a reasonable offer.
  4. I'm really interested in how the thing actually performs in terms of spiking, holding boost. More importantly how difficult it is to set up for say an ordinary person.
  5. "Ahh sir your car was reverse into by the new young guy, he has only been here 3 days." That's just bloody stupid. He may have only been working there for 3 days, but what? he's never driven in a carpark before...bloody spastics. You're lucky mate. If it was just any random person who had just driven off, you get nothing. Also, carparks usually have exclusion clauses limiting their liability for any damages arises INCLUDING negligence.
  6. there is no easy answer. pipe shaping is dependant on the car, and the way you wanna run the pipes e.g. through the guard, over the radiator (if there is room). You have to work it out for yourself. That is why companies can charge so much for them. It's not just the cost of the piping. It's the cost of working out how to make the pipes. Say for someone making $200 a day, they'd be better off just buying a premade one, because i'tll take you a day, and the money you'll save will be the same as the money you woulda made.
  7. I say if you have 9 cars, probably a few of them must be daily shitters. Just park one of them out, and put the ceffi into the garage. Nice and safe.
  8. I wouldn't work out how to remove those little clips without breaking them can someone shed some light please?
  9. buy my carcover, lol. I've used it twice because I wanted to prevent all this shit from happening. THen I got a garage. The kenco one is the most expensive one sold by any shops e.g. autobarn, supercheap, repco, auto one etc.
  10. as the title says about, is a 97 gtst a push or pull clutch. Thanks fellars
  11. thanks for that buster. I guess someone with a vl could but it.
  12. basically, you can't. ok, I'll try and explain better this time. the lowest psi the turbo can run at is determined by the spring of the waste gate. e.g. the stock one lets you run 5 psi, and 5 psi is the minimum. even if you have an electronic boost controller, you can turn the boost up, but, even if you switch the controller off, it will not go below 5 psi. You can have no boost by disconencting the wastegate actuator. This means, no boost at all. You cannot have boost unless you reconnect it. an r33 gtst is quite easy to drive, especially with stock turbo. Just don't press the accelerator hard, and it won't accelerate hard. it won't even come onto much boost if you give it a decent press. You basically have to floor it to get 5 psi. the boost comes on very linear on the rb25, compared to something like a sr20. So, to answer your question, I guess try not to think of it as boost. people get scared by the term boost. Think of it rather as just how much acceleration you want, more = press harder, less = press less (boost is quite linear in rb25).
  13. nah, you can't. what he's basically saying, is you can disconnect the actuator. i.e. no turbo. however, if you leave it connected, the minimum it can go is 5 psi for stock turbo and actuator. you can turn it up, but not down.
  14. just a friendly pointer chiba. Autobarn sell these units for 140... and they aren't known for being cheap.
  15. Sold. Mods please delete.
  16. Imo, it does not seem to be bad rust at all. The metal is obviously not good quality, and as the car is 15 years old, it's bound to rust. The paint around the area does not seem to have bubbled. There is some rust reversal shit at the hardware store. just paint it on. then spray it with some spray pain tto seal it. The car is good value, and that is just a minor $50 problem.
  17. I have a set of 15" stock steel wheels from a vs holden commodore. I'm not sure if these fit skylines, but if they do, I guess you could have them widened to fit a set of slicks on em Willing to sell all 4. Also willing to split into pairs. No tyres. these wheels are perfect, even come with holden hub caps. hahaha. Looking for 100 for 2, or 180 for 4. I'm located in sydney
  18. Kenco large Tyvec carcover for sale. This is the right size for an r33. These are the best car cover on the market. waterproof, yet breathable - tyvec material. Keep your line safe at night from soot, bird sh1t, sand storms, twigs from trees, sunlight etc. Reason for sale - no longer needed because I have a garage. Condition - this car cover is practically new. I have used it in total for about 16 hours (It's covered my car for 2 nights). It's so new, that I could just wash it and it'd pass as new, but I won't, because i'm honest. Price - I bought this for $140(139) at autobarn. I'm looking for around 120, because, seriously, this is basically new.
  19. SOLD thanks for all the interest fellow skyliners. You've all been great.
  20. elbee and phatgts, you both have pms.
  21. I've heard that some people block off the little hole on the r33 gtst bov because it leaks boost. Does someoine have a picture of what this hole looks like? Also, what do you block it off with? I can see the immediate benefits would be faster spoolup and higher boost? is this correct? Also, the boost curve will be much harsher. Is there anything wrong with this? I see the harsher boost curve making it just like driving a silvia - boost is much more on or off.
