  1. Their is a cruise going to the Hunter Valley this Saturday I belive. Check the /Events
  2. someone wanna check the date ?? Last I checked this is not a leap year :uh-huh:
  3. I got it from CRD http://www.motorsportworld.com.au/outlets/croydon/ $100 for 4L (requires 3.5L and its actually a 3.7L bottle). $10 next day courier delivery. Pretty sure they were at/near Silverwater from memory.
  4. damn ive had this stuff sitting in my car for 5 days now and haven't got around to getting someone to change it for me. I did the engine oil without a problem but i think changing the gearbox oil is too much for me with no equipment/knowledge.
  5. Alittle off topic but like Brendan here im also learning..... What size are the standard R33 GTS-T injectors and is their like a certain rwkw (or figure) they can handle before needing to be upgraded ?
  6. Sure did..... what was the temperature that day ?
  7. When the needle starts to touch the top of the "E" you have used approx 60L's. When the needle goes through the middle of the "E" you have used about 62.5 L's. Its not uncommon to do an extra 40km with the fuel light on/off.
  8. nice results guys.
  9. 33% chance i'll be there. Depends on the weather or on what other offers I get.
  10. Their was a Silva/Skyline Dyno Day only a week ago at www.unigroup.com.au keep your eye on the /Events section.
  11. 0% here also due to bad weather. Definitely sounds like a decent cruise tho so when the weather goes back to the usual drought conditions im up for it.
  12. weather looks promising, do we have a suggested route ?
  13. Well it needs to be a 'box' to be legal. So there's 1 major difference.
  14. Exactly what I have done and exactly how my car feels.
  15. R33NT: You have raised some good points. For a n00bie .... what sort of instruments could I get that tell me temperatures of certain components? I'm not a fan of 'gauges' so I'd prefer a digital screen/readout. What components should I be keeping an eye on ? Im all for maximising power out of my current engine setup and I know that like the pod airbox giving a cold air intake keeping engine temperatures at a decent level will also increase performance/life of an engine.
  16. /me waits for the slashing to start 23710-21U60 MEC-K620 A2-5322 (Click here to see a pic) Sorry about the quality I dont know how to use my camera yet (Geeze c'mon i've only had it for 6mths) :uh-huh:
  17. Page 9 of 11 in the PDF. http://www.ajc13b.com/adrs/2801.pdf
  18. hahaha FS my '95 ECU for a PowerFC J/K :shake:
  19. I totally a agree you can turn a 13sec car into a 12sec car just by replacing the driver.
  20. Thought about leasing the car ? Insurance is cheaper and overall price is cheaper but you dont get to keep it at the end of the lease term. (By then you'll want to get an R34 GTT)
  21. I got my '95 GTS-T with light mods (air filter, cat back nismo exhaust, nismo suspension, lowered, strut bars, very nice jvc mp3 player, subs, yada yada) for $25.5k only 5mths ago. My suggestion is to find the car you like first and worry about the price later. A mate of mine (on here) bought a stock as a rock abbbbsolutely mint '96 for $23k. But by the time a decent stereo was installed, tints etc it came to more than $25.5k anyway. Choose wisely. I'm not saying my car is better than his but just look around at the options and certainly dont go for the cheapest car. Also don't go for the 1 with heaps of performance mods. You never know really what quality they are, who put them on and how badly they have been used. Best of spending the money yourself (when you can) and getting it done properly. You gotta spend money to get quality and their are ALOT of dirty looking skylines around i know that for a fact. I dunno about you but r32's do absolutely nothing for me, not only that but they are 10yrs old. Sometimes i think of my car being a '95 model and think farrrrk thats getting on now being 7-8yrs old but then i get into my parents vectra or mums 2002 proton and it has just as many options and a heaps better performing car. Take HEAPS of time looking over the car and testing things. When purchasing my car (private sale) I spent more time taking pics of it with my camera then i did actually seriously looking at it. I just happened to really trust the previous owner and i had never driven something soooo smooth in my life so i was sold. Spend atleast 30mins driving it and atleast 2-3hrs looking over it. Try steering clear of dealers and look for either private sales or 'importers'.
  22. Tempting, weather permitting.
  23. I'm certainly interested. The only pre-requirement I need is an approx cost no point turning up if it costs $700 and i only have $400.
  24. Well this is why i think the whole thing was completely crazy. As i said i seen all these cop cars suddenly arrive and box everyone in thinking a massive fight was happening in the carpark. So i walked from the otherside of the building out to the doors at the carpark and stood on the side of the carpark watching what the cops were doing. They went to every single car with a spot light and wrote down the rego details, gave them a quick look over (didn't even pop the bonnet, look at wheel sizes, exhaust dB tests, etc) they just got them to fill out a form and pointed to the RTA (and gave verbal instructions to some people who didn't know where the RTA was). I just stood on the side totally amazed, their were undercover cops walking around all mean and tough looking "who owns this car, where's the driver for that car" they walked up to every single person standing around giving them the once over on "if its your car own up now coz you won't get out of the carpark tonight" etc. Then 2 of the cops (1 under cover and 1 and older guy looked heaps important but probably had a 3cm c0ck) walked straight inside to the people "If you own car get outside now" and next thing I seen 3 owners walk out to 2 LJ Torana's. (Lowered, slicks, rollbars, big v8 blowers etc). The whole way they went about it was an absolute disgrace and i would love to see it public. (I wonder how much a full page costs in the local Penrith Press).
