looks pretty cool. Spotted something though. Where it says "We enjoy the passion driving." Shouldn't it say 'We enjoy the passion of driving.'?

Nah, just adds to the truth that's already been told. It really is a shame when you can't even drive your car to the end of the street without being harassed by police. I have pretty much lost all respect for traffic police for this reason. I even had to write a letter to the ombudsman to have them stop doing it.

As above

That's like saying the cop can fine you because your paint is too red. They are not allowed to defect you without good reason and if they do defect you they must be able to explain the defect and why it is defectable. You may have had police that have defected you for no reason before but that does not mean that it is correct to do so. Try standing up for your rights, they are there to serve you, not punish you.

There is no law pertaining to pod filters. It's a crock and they all know it. Secured means attached to the air pipe, not filter secured to the body of the car. However, they will still defect you for it. When a cop defects you for something....if you ask for it, they must state the defect code or state the exact reason for defect....not just because it seems like it could be defectable.

It's Camry........

Weakest part of RB26DETT is leanout on 5 and 6. Big ends go because of oil problem in sump design. Nothing wrong with the factory oil pump.

2-4 degrees retarded is usually the case but these things are best set up on a dyno. JHH engineering can make your standard cam gear into a vernier set for $170.

Tha tie rod ends I can get for about $35

Hope you don't value your insurance? I assume that steering wheel is not equiped with an airbag? If so you will have no chance of making an insurance claim if you are in an accident.

Not 100% on this SK...it's been a while but I think it is actually referred to as a 26D. That is if you are referring to the Quad Rotor, quad turbo version. The Quad rotor, twin turbo may have been a B.

What if you had a 1J or 2J in your Skyline....I think I read correctly at the top where it says 'Skylines Australia' or is it just Skylines that have RB's fitted Australia? Open your mind a bit.

I believe the 1J NA head flows more than the 2J Turbo head. They did this to make it less of a tank on the road.

I had a turbo made by him about 4 years ago. Wasn't too bad but didn't do what I asked for.

Cefiro praise thread. Pros only thankyou! 1. Drift cred 2. Sleeper 3. 4 doors - practical family car 4. So bloody easy to work on. And yes I am bored......

Usually the only contributing factor towards taking too long on a clutch install has been friggin dicky exhausts. Some aftermarket manufacturers don't compensate for this kind of thing when they make their systems up. Other than that, over tight bolts?.....tell your mech to get a better impact gun or go to the gym to work on those girly arms. You can only tighten a bolt so far, and even a almost breaking point...a 1 meter breaker bar usually does the trick. RB, SR or CA gearbox should not take any longer than 45 mins to remove.....no excuses. 1 hour if you are doing it on stands.

Instead of repeating yourself, try reading the previous posts and you will see that 3 places were listed that sell these bonnets.

There is another loophole they can get you with as well. Even though you may have a pre 1994 car with a CF bonnet, there is a suib sectional law in the modifications section that states all aftermarket panels fitted to a vehicle must have had crash testing done. So ADR is ok for pre 94 but they can sting you on a breach of modification law. Therfore pre 94 you must still have it certified by an engineer or of the likes.

Why do you not require this anymore?

The AAC at maximum open will only hold your revs at around 1600....not 9000. If the throttle is shut...the car cannot rev. Your problem must be throttle related. it is physically impossible to increase the revs that much but not allow any more air to enter, the engine would choke and die. Does the accelerator pedal return to it's normal position when this happens? Do you have any kind of cruise control fitted to your vehicle?

Check that your alternator is charging correctly.

Flywheels are designed to be machined. I have machined mine 4 times now and it has been lightened as well. They have plenty of meat on them to do so. The factory flywheels are fairly strong so many people like to retain them instead of a lightened one as the lighter or thinner the flywheel, the more prone it will be to warpage. Factory flywheels are not case hardened, they are cast iron. The flywheels that are difficult to machine are the rotary ones which are made of steel. They must be done on a lathe or special grinder. Cracks in the face mean shit. You can machine the flywheel flat, still see cracks in the surface and it will never cause you any problems in a million years. I am not sure if all of the above applies to every car on the market but for skylines at least, it does. I have machined a few hundred flywheels this year and about 30 of them were skyline. Of them, none of the factory flywheels were a throwaway. I have been sent 2 lightened ones and 1 of them was a throwaway due to excessive warpage.
