  1. Some comments about the first picture: 1) You have -heaps- of little metal filings in there, are you sure you still have all 5 gears intact? I took mine apart like you have only a few days ago and didnt see any metal filings at all (gearbox oil was changed 2wks ago though). 2) The white plastic bush... See how the right side of it (in the pic) is worn back abit but the left/bottom part is worn back heaps (ie its not even all the way around the bush) I dont recall mine (RB26DETT) having any of that. It was a perfectly smooth/square corner not sorta at that angle like yours is.
  2. ..got my previous boss to ban www.skylinesaustralia.com to prevent me from ever getting in this very expensive game
  3. Bought my R33 GTS-t when I was working for an ISP doing Phone Support. Had that for 2.5yrs then switched to being a Courier Driver (sole trader) and sold my GTS-t for an R32 GTR. About the only thing I own is the clothes on my back
  4. Nice video, plenty of hard GTR's launching...
  5. Check the fuse. If not you could try www.nismo.com.au or even www.croydonracingdevelopment.com.au
  6. Ahh very true!
  7. Grab me an engine whilst u are there please, just throw under your shirt!
  8. Any idea on what this white part is actually (or even a model number for a BNR32) called as my gear stick has about 3-4cm of play in it (ie 2nd gear looks like im in neutral) and i've been told this could be the faulty part ($14 from Nissan).
  9. Just make sure the secret location is right next to the girls cruise location
  10. Yes as a short-time user of a Jim Berry clutch they feel like a stock clutch but can take all the punishment you can give them. I'm very happy!
  11. I'll wear a wig and heels if need be...
  12. Yes I have noticed over the past 2-3 days that things have become a little slower. Could just be the extra load from all those teenagers still on school holidays.
  13. No all are in the City/Metro area.
  14. I was just at a local exhaust shop speaking to him about my situation. Some interesting points he made: - Their are 2 diff types of Magnaflow Cats, 1 has heaps of little 1mm holes and the other has 3mm holes. Provided you get the right size/volume cat it won't impact on flow only sound/noise. - The rear canons (Jap) are nothing but a pretty hotdog which offer very minimal baffling. - Their are 2 main types of baffling systems for the typical 'muffler (think; Lukey mufflers). The old style is where the flow pipe bends and twists around inside. The air/gases flow in a way to hit head-on with each other (effectively cancelling out on each other, hence reducing drone/noise but lots of back pressure). The other type is basically a straight through pipe (enters 1 end of 1 side and exits the other end of the other size - sorta diagonal I spose) but has other parts inside the empty part of the muffler that do all the baffling. So basically the bigger the muffler you can fit under that rear bar the quieter it will be and better overall it will work.
  15. $344 delivered from Japan for a quick release: http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/404
  16. You need to get your priorities right Stan, sif u'd give up a cruise to get drunk (and laid) pfft!
  17. Just incase Beer Baron doesn't try posting pics of himself infront of a mirror hot bodies means bodies with boobies and shaved legs
  18. Really? You'd be pushing to get that out of an RB25DET with those mods.
  19. I seen some 265's on 18x10 rims a month ago on an R32 GTR V-Spec and they looked very nice.
  20. ECU's don't acquire a tax/duty anyway.
  21. the Cat-back system is 3"
  22. (R32 GTR, 330awkw) I have: HKS Exhaust Manifold HKS Front/Dumps DoLuck Cat + Cat-back with a 6" Canon I got it tested last week and it was 120db at 3,500rpm. Not only was it extremely loud at idle (have Tomei Poncams too) but the drone was ripping my ears apart (especially when i'd done 4x 250km highway drives in the first 2wks). I got a local exhaust workshop to replace the rear DoLuck canon (straight through pipe with baffling around the outside of the pipe) with 1 of their own. Their was a flange (4 bolt grr) right infront of the rear canon so it was just a matter of adapting the custom muffler to a 4 bolt flange and swapping it over (also had the entire cat-back raised 3-4cm). The result was 98db at 3,500rpm and absolutely no drone at all which is still way over the limit but i'm not sure whatelse could be done without making the car undrivable. The annoying thing about this custom rear muffler was that its taken away the awesome "worked RB26" sound and also my power/boost is way down. I changed the rear custom muffler back to the DoLuck canon yesterday in the garage, pain in the ass 20min job. No point going to the drags with half your power stuck in the rear muffler. I'd really love to get a whole new cat-back that is 1) 90db or less and 2) capable of flowing 330awkw but unfortunately I don't think it is possible. Having a 4 bolt flange on the entire system makes it very difficult to just swap over individual parts with other brands/models to see the difference as basically every but needs to be custom welded.
  23. Have a read over this thread I created 2yrs ago with my old car: "Pineapples - Before/After review"
  24. www.wsid.com.au "1pm UPDATE - Storm cell has just passed...still going ahead at this stage, final update at 3pm."
