  1. my car when I first got it used to do single spinners, but after I changed the sludge to a fully synthetic diff oil she spun both again.... im not sure if this was just a coincidence or not.
  2. I was gunna go through northshore prestige but I found a better deal elsewhere.... They seemed ok. Sumo
  3. rs73, its a bit more complicated then that, you have capacitors that store charge (if you have an acco, you need a charge to set the bags off - so if you battery leads are chopped off the bag has still gotta deploy), Some cars you have to unplug it at the module, some let you unplug it at the wheel.... but its up to you Sumo P.S. how are you gunna test the horn if you dont have the battery hooked up?
  4. If its not the alarm sometimes the platic sags and the horn contact will touch the steering wheel, but just keep in the back of your mind it only takes 1.5 volts to set the airbag off Sumo
  5. More likely Tappets
  6. Sumo

    Hi

    v.nice indeed
  7. Sorry, forgot to mention that it may even be your ignition barrel, sometimes they wear out and do weird things.
  8. if the front bush in a starter lets go, its metal rubbing on metal. As for sticking in, the solenoid on top controls that, so either your voltage may drop (ups the amps drawn to compensate) and arcs the contacts together, or there is a starter relay in your car somewhere thats a bit sticky. Sumo
  9. Nearly as silly as buying a car from japan
  10. I want to learn about engine management systems, You could also do an article on turbo sizing, what combo's do and do not work. I would be happy with a 12 sec street car But its finding out what needs to be done to get there. Sumo P.S. a few boobies would certainly make it easier on the eyes
  11. Guilty: Mechanical - you have to run a boost line into the cabin to hook up to the gauge. Electrical - You have a sender unit in the engine bay near the boost line and run wires in the cabin to the boost gauge that sends an electronic signal to the boost gauge.
  12. Get it on some frieght by rail i'd assume. Indian Pacific Sumo
  13. Not to sure bout the 34's, but mine is an ECR33, BNR33 is the GTR. Its on the plate located on your firewall.... Thats the easiest way to find out. Sumo
  14. would be no worse then water injection. Sumo
  15. Look for broken stuff Nah, the km's are no indication of the cars true km's. Take it for a drive and make sure the g/box is ok, some are fairly s**thouse... But the owner can hide these problems with good oil. Interior trim is probably the best indication, if its worn well you know its done a fair few km's. If you get a stock one, you know within 6 months you'll be upgrading the exhaust, airbox and a boost controller, so you can save a bit of money by getting a car with these things done. I think the best way is really to speak to the owner , if he says he spends the weekends waxing, servicing and other things you know this bloke will treat it like his baby, but if you buy from someone who says "Moite, I chop da rexs and da V8's all da time" you know its copped a caining.
  16. Also do a fuel filter change (just to make sure everythings clean) Z201 is what I used, but I have seen others that use a Z200, doesn't make much difference, one is a fraction longer then the other. Its easy to get to in the engine bay, you will squirt a bit of fuel if the system is pressurised. Sumo
  17. I use Ryco filters (Part No. 145a) and will be changing to motul next service as the Caltex Full Synth makes my lifters noisy. Sumo
  18. that would suck in low flying birds and small children, looks awesome tho Sumo
  19. well, I know for a fact i wouldn't drive outta my way for ungrateful people that that want something for nothing..... DVS-8OR maybe you should let them know when you first ring them that you wont pay over $50 and your not copping a travelling charge.... Should get heaps of plumbers wanting to go to your house and do it for nix.
  20. An intercooler would acctually be a restriction on a NA car. Sumo
  21. Are you running stock boost? Sumo
  22. mmmm, I would trade the gtst for one Sumo
  23. I'd say its a good thing :kick:
  24. you can get pads for the 32, 33 and 34 in the bendix range
