  1. rb25 in an r33 is a bit mild unless you spend a bit.. Well I'll be biased but i still think the best (without too much stuffing around) is the soul of the r32 with the heart of the r33 bit hard to find though at a realistic price.
  2. rb20 de/det & rb25 de/det (series 1), rb26dett (r32) coil packs are the same R32 and R33 series 1 AFM's are the same. VL/R31 afm plug fits Z32 afm rb20/rb25/rb26 timing belt same. r32 (type m) / r33 gts-t rear brakes same r32 / r33 gts-t exhaust manifolds same r32 / r33 gts-t BOV's same
  3. like blaming speed for a person's accident ?
  4. Don't forget to upload it to .. http://skylinesaustralia.vidiac.com
  5. It was funny.. as I was driving along the other day, thinking much the same thing "so, well what makes this speed more dangerous that another".. In that, I travel 100km/hr it's legal, but another 5-10km/hr over its not whether it's wet, dry, or foggy or I'm half asleep, yapping away to the person in the passenger seat, etc. Likewise, what is "safe" in one car, would not be so safe in another. It's such a human thing to stick an arbitary number on something that is never entirely quantifiable. I really think that is why the victorian model is so flawed.. 3km/hr.. come on! it's barely readable on the speedo, never mind trying to drive at it through a whole city with fixed non-descretionary cameras everywhere. That said, I don't know how else you stop people going whatever speed they like, so some arbitary figures have to be chosen at some point. If it was like "150" on the highways, the nature of many would be to go 150 at the minimum, and then above and beyond that for some. Another thing to lookout for is the usual propoganda yada during the holiday "carnage" periods.. Where they say "8 people have been killed on the roads this long weekend". But when you narrow it down, to say, last year x people were killed and divide by that by the number of days, more often than not this "carnage" is no worse than statistically average for any other 3 days of the year. Check into it next time you see it mentioned - it might make you think.
  6. It's not hard at all.. especially if you have a hoist to give you plenty of room to maneuver, and all the other professional tools that a workshop should have. I'm a complete amateur and I could do it in around 5 at the most.
  7. you got ripped.. They saw you had an GTR probably and doubled the labour charge. Seems to be the case.
  8. This is true, however, isn't it the pressure in the clutch cylinder, built by the pedal action, which is pressing the fluid down the tube? And pushing a larger amount of fluid down a longer tube would require more pressure than pushing a smaller amount of fluid down a shorter tube? Just like a more powerful pump is required to pump fluid over a larger distance, compared to a shorter one? Maybe the difference is negligible in this situation, but that is the way I would have thought it worked?? I'm just thinking blowing into a short straw, as opposed to blowing into a long one, and the effort required for bubbles (air pressure) to appear at the end. Somebody point me to some fluid dynamics site I'm not saying I'm right, I just want to know why not..
  9. I sent you a PM in one of the 3 or so threads you posted on this over the place..
  10. Would probably be around the $2800 mark? ~$1300 for gearbox, $600 for clutch + $400 for "Extras" (pedals, flywheel, tailshaft, etc). Maybe $500 labour for somebody to spend the day putting it all in. Would add up. When I added it up it cost around $1400 on my R32.. and that's just using a povo R32 box for a while and my own labour.e
  11. I don't think the problem would be heat transfer, but rather heat buildup in a shorter hose. It's definitely not a problem in street use. At worse in track use you lose clutch pressure and you go work out how to shield it later. It's not like brakes which could send you into the sidewall. Below is how the standard maltech one is (unless they make a custom). This is how it is hooked up on my car, and I assume everybody else.. staight from clutch cylinder to slave cylinder. It works 100% fine. Why wouldn't you want to piss the extra piping off? You'd take away half the benefit of the shorter line I would have thought? The longer a fluid line the longer it takes to build up pressure, and hence a doughier pedal.
  12. The maltech braided replaces the whole metal pipey thing. Gives a nice feel.. no problems so far.
  13. It's school holiday time. You get the morons coming out to post on the o'so'cool inta-net on their school break to pass the time pretending they own 5000billlion kw skylines and everything else. Wouldn't surprise me if it was some kid just trying to see if he could get it for some stupid price to hock off on ebay or the like to make a few $
  14. what you really need is grandpa mirrors on your skyline. They are ace. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/C-WEST-STYLE-RACING...bayphotohosting
  15. ok fun is over.. back to work.
  16. don't spoil my dream I thought cyrus could provide me with a fine selection of choicest beef cuts, living in the beef capital of Australia and all <sulks>
  17. why does everybody take so long to post?
  18. anna has balls.. you could maybe give her head?
  19. I'm still waiting for my prime best of the herd Rocky rump steak cyrus!
  20. ...fact that it's a skyline doesn't change anything, other than the perception of everybody else that it must have been the car's fault, not the driver Most sensible minded people know that it's the case, but the increasing majority of the 'blamers' in this society it's another story. In the back of their mind they associate "that type of car", with "that sort of person".
  21. it's down near the ecu.. there are two of them and they should be green (on r32).. the power source for the engine is switched through them. The ignitor gets it's power feed directly from one of the pins of the relay.
  22. bad for everybody. I guess whether they are culpable depends whether the pedestrians were passing at a designated crossing or not. If the driver was speeding, it's a different story.
  23. where's my steak? (i hate you)
  24. cyrus - get me a giant steak!
