  1. lol what did you guys do? i see so many snide remarks towards the car
  2. thats a very stereotypical comment. ill have you know that i am getting my car tuned to help save the environment
  3. nail on the head. I've been to a few workshops who had been recommended by members on here and they were useless. Jez from Dvs Jez, Gary from Garys Tyres, Clint from CJ's Mechanical are a few places that i will continue to recommend as they have always been fantastic to deal with. They are all in NSW. There was also an engine builder in tuggerah who i forget, he was near the slam factory.
  4. inb4 ban haha i loved these wheels when they came out, but then again i do have a thing for meshs
  5. a rubber insert in the long socket helps keep the spark plug central and will avoid cracking.
  6. cut head in half to inspect.
  7. this.
  8. what was the green small hatch that burnt their rear bar doing a similar video? Was about 15 years ago.
  9. im in the act too. you're more than welcome to check mine out before you spend money on something that may not need changing and with the foglight spot. i've seen a lot of guys use the standard h3c globes but with the orange lens in the headlight taken out.
  10. i always found my headlights to be fine. what exactly are the problems you're having? i am using phillips white vision which are 4300k.
  11. well what do you know. some searching told me its from the n/a r33 in one particular model. always wondered what an re5 came out of.
  12. hey guys, i need some rear callipers.
  13. the 33 auto is 4 spd?
  14. you need to book in.
  15. What gearbox do you have? The re4r01a was used in HEAPS of other cars 4x4's etc. I'd email a few places so you have it all in writing so you can look back on it.
  16. how did you go speaking to an automatic specialist yyc34gtt? i called a really nice bloke who used to do re4's but has now moved onto amg's and bmw's. we had a long chat about different upgrades, line pressure, shift kits etc. he said that the main thing that causes flaring and slipping in the automatics is the shift solenoids and or a worn valve body as they're aluminium. I mentioned that my box was still quite tight, only flares once or twice in a 30minute session of hard driving, and i am planning on putting more power into it. What can and should i do? His answer, nothing. if it's still shifting fine now with more boost it sounds like its in good condition, if it does start to slip, buy new solenoids and possibly a new valve body and it should be fine. The thing he didn't like was upgrades such as line pressure, blocking off pistons (he called them something else) and the other 'usual' one off mods people do, as it puts a lot of strain on other components and will not last unless you do them all, and it costs more than doing the right thing, which is replacing worn parts.
  17. type your gearbox code into google and see what pop ups. i think the gtt is a re4r01b? everything i have read has stated that anything that stops slippage is a good thing. on this reasoning alone, many 4x4 guys will run a higher pressure to alleviate slipping at low loads. call a transmission expert tomorrow and have a chat to them and see what they recommend and their reasoning behind it.
  18. Hey guys need this stuff gone. R33/c34 steering wheel - $100ono Trust muffler off a c34 dayz. Fits the dayz bar perfectly. - $100ono C34 eyelet shocks+King springs. Already bubble wrapped, you will need rear bump stops or run without. Say this high - $250ono Located act.
  19. just in time for chistmas hugh
  20. i really like that colour pink.
  21. aircon fan was originally behind condenser?
  22. yes, but you have a chance to do all bushes at your own leisure with a new subframe.
