benm

have the times ever been correct ?

ubd pfft what good is the ubd when u have www.whereis.com.au which states it will take 3hrs 1min to travel 51km to Wisemanys Ferry In 3hrs I could be at Canberra

Which way we heading? Got any pre-directions ? I get lost just walking from my bedroom to the kitchen on a good day.

So we got an update of who's coming and who's a limpd1ck ?

Yeah I was thinking about putting some stickers on my front shockies for added camber

I'm just waiting for you to catchup Adrian

Just trying sanding them back like I have done above.

Well finaly i've saved up enough to get my bodykit installed but I have afew questions that maybe some of you can help answer. Im getting all the work done at a place local to me called 'Kingswood Kustom'. The owner there (Mark) has done mechanical work on my previous 2 cars over the last 4 years. Its pretty much a 1 owner + 1 trainee type business with nothing really flashy or fancy. For all mechanical work i've previously had done (many $1000's) the job has always been done at a decent price, sure sometimes it'll take an extra hour or I might have to stand around for 10mins until he can serve me (stuck under a car or something) but I guess in the end the job is done. He sorta has the attitude of 'if i do it spot on the first time i wont see u again' type guy. What I plan on getting done is: * Nismo 400R Sideskirts painted and fitted * Nismo 400R Rear bar + side pods painted and fitted * GTR Rear Wing painted and fitted (with carbon blade) = $1000 First of all does that seem a reasonable price??? I haven't been to any other body shops or rung anyone else etc (wouldn't have a clue where I could even get it done anywhere else). So the quote he has given me im just sorta "yeah ok no worries" type attitude. Now while he has all the paint mixed and ready to go (he said around ~$135/L to buy/mix so he doesnt want to waste any) I was thinking of getting some work done to my standard M-Spec front bar. Now for an extra $500 (Not forgetting that an aftermarket front bar is about $650 fitted) I can get done: * Cold air box (bought from UAS 7mths ago) fitted with ducting down to the corner of the front bar * Center bracket where the number plate is attached completely cut out and removed to allow better airflow to the FMIC * Mesh the bottom part of the front bar to make it look neat n tidy * FMIC aligned to the center of the bar (its currently about 1 inch off center to the left up close * Front bar re-sprayed The questions I have are: * Can anyone recommend local places (Western Sydney) where I can go for a quote or further ideas ? * Does the first quote seem reasonable ? * Does the second quote seem reasonable ? * Will the small corner gap in my front bar allow sufficient are into my pod box partition ? * Should I get mesh put infront of the FMIC to cover it up (stop stones loose dogs etc damaging the fmic) or will this effect airflow -too- much? Thats all for now.... PS. If your thinking about putting a bodykit on your car dont bother. For the same price as the bodykit cost me to buy/paint/fit I coulda had a set of 17" tyres n mags + a PowerFC. It will be all worth it in the end though I think.

Interesting figures.... Last trackday all I did was: * DBA Slotted Rotors - $900 * Fuel for the day - $40 * Food - $15 * Admission - $140 ..braking at the turn 9 (hairpin) with your brake pedal flat to the floor realising you have boiled your brake fluid... PRICELESS !! Within a month after my first trackday: * Michelin Tyres - $1000 * DOT5 brake fluid - $100 Everything else was just general wear n tear although I think I still need to buy new pads (I sanded them back to remove the glazing but still not happy). Still thought for what we do and for the amount of fun its well worth a full pay cheque.

That all ? I'd like: 1x Slim brunette 3x Slim blonde 2x Slim redheads 1x photographer umm i'll get back to you on the rest...

Same here, u supply the women this time though ok ?

Same ere, still though u got atleast a 10% better performing Injector after having them cleaned so it should be good.

Did you get like some kinda dyno type printout of a before/after of the flow etc ? Be interesting to see the difference.

I believe I do have 1 of the magical ECU's coz I currently dont have any aftermarket management of anything. The only time I use 12psi is for Dyno runs, Trackdays and eventually 1/4's.

I have a '95 S1 R33. Im abit scared of the whole 'boost' thing. To me the higher the number = the higher the danger which is probably why i drive around on 7psi all day everyday On 12psi im leaning out so no point in winding it up any higher. How long have u been running 14.7psi for? Also how long do you run it on full boost for? I wonder what gains i'd get and how long the turbo would last.. (provided th rest of my car is working fine.

I was speaking to him about it last night at about 5pm and he said he's doin sumfin with his chick. Maybe you asked alittle nicer or maybe u have something over his chick that i dont :bahaha: At this stage im still a maybe, can't find any skankz0rs to bring along. So I take it we are going up near Avoca Beach ? (just realised where Terrigal is i thought it was up near Newcastle rofl). Then head west to wisemans n then back to Syd ?

Gone on holidays maybe? Expanding the shop maybe?

I've seen alot of WRX's with the mesh covering the FMIC, hows this go with air flow? I Can see the point of doing it for stopping stone chips and stuff like that and it would also make things look heaps neater im just worried about airflow.

Good info Browny got a link for the location of that info ?

Not sure where u read that? Most people from what I have read say that 12psi is the most a stock RB25DET Turbo should push. I wouldn't be all that game to try anything higher really.

What do the 'front upper arm' bushes do? Help with steering or something ?

Bob Jane T-Marts just over near the railway station (behind Strathfield Car Radios) and I think it cost me $4-5ea tyre. Damnit I shoulda bought MFX's gold rims when I had the chance, now I need to find a really cheap arse set of rims that are 255-266 for drag/track.

don't want to ruin the party but u can actually buy these brand new delivered for around $250 cheaper than what you are offereing.

Hey Mark what mods do u have making that power? I didn't realise the AFM needed upgrading at that low amount of power.

Now now... I went looking at helmets yesterday. They wanted from $145 thru to $850 sheesh. So i'll get 1 of those sometime soon and then i just gotta check about my tyre pressure (nitrogen filled so i dont wanna pay $10 every 2nd wed to get em filled back up again).
