  1. My brother was considering getting one of those intercoolers before his 360 carked it for the second time. I know someone else with a 360 who hasn't had any issues with it what so ever but he's only a casual gamer so maybe he hasn't played it enough to find the gremlins in the system yet.
  2. I have one of those and on the odd occaison that has happened to me as well. Don't know why though, loose wiring maybe?
  3. I've changed my O2 sensor with an EL Ford one as well, my experience with connecting things up was the same as Randy's. After an ECU reset the car ran fine (and still does). Would it be fair to say that the middle of the 3 wires is the signal, the other two are the heater wires? (pretty sure that's how mine was).
  4. Maguires Plastic X is good, I've also heard of toothpaste being great (I haven't tried this but).
  5. My brother has had to return his 360 a second time after having it die on him after about 4 or so months of ownership. He 'got it fixed' and it lasted for another week before the second break down. He would be able to play the machine for about 5 minutes before it would either come up with a system error or just shut down and flash red lights around the power button. Poor value!
  6. I've got those wiper blades as well, the 'Big Blue' ones. Look pretty cool and very easy to install, just remember that both wiper blades at the front aren't equal lengths! I could feel the added 10kws of power lol.
  7. Just picked up my bezels today (they came on Monday but I wasn't home ) and they certainly look the goods, the quality is fantastic. Can't wait to fit them, cheers for organising this Kezza!
  8. Joisus, that's mad! I want one too!
  9. Mama mia, that's a spicy meat ball! LOL at 30" on a Civic.
  10. I've always had beeping while reversing, but never when I reach 100km/hr. Little black box under the dash causes it hey? Hmmmm.... (snip snip)
  11. I also remember Dupriez's car jack story in Auto Salon, scary stuff!
  12. I've used a paint called 'Metal Cast' to paint my calipers, it requires 2 types of paint: a primer coat and then the colour itself. I had VHT paint on before but it looked crap, though it wasn't the same as the stuff paulr33 has used (it was a matt finish, not shiny). I've never seen that shiny VHT stuff before, is it a new paint? Here are some (not so good) pics of my calipers. I've still got to do the Nissan logo:
  13. That's an awesome looking R32 26GTS. I'm more of an R33 man myself but damn!
  14. Check out these sites, they really helped me out heaps: http://www.turbosaturns.net/articles/AVC-R.htm http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/avc-r/install/index.html
  15. I have a two tone like that as well, I think the wheels look really good!
  16. Awesome, awesome to the max! That thing was really moving!
  17. I went to the North Perth BP yesterday, didn't have to wait in line at all (plus it was on my way home). Cheers guys!
  18. My brother has moved up from a '97 Celica to a '95 RZ Supra and loves it. Emsta2003's right about the leatherette seat in the back (it's also on the roof in my brother's car) and the lack of space for people in the back; with me sitting in the passenger seat and someone behind me, they were squished up against the seat and rear window and my knees were up under my chin just about! Not comfortable at all, but the Celica in my opinion doesn't have much rear space either so it doesn't bother him!
  19. I've only just encountered a similar problem to this as well, only my car gets stuck in 2nd. When I take my foot off the breaks from stand still (like at a set of lights) the car doesn't move forward like it should, and when it does take off it starts in 2nd and doesn't move. Poor value!
  20. PGR3 is really good but it's a lot easier than PRG2 which may or may not be a bad thing depending on if you played PGR2 at all. There are some awesome cars in there!
  21. Top stuff, that's what I'm looking at doing also (when I can get off my lazy arse! )
  22. Cheers for the updates Kezza, top stuff!
  23. I once had a friend who once pulled apart his whole dash board to find the cause of a rattle which turned out to be his rear vision mirror. So anyways wound down his window and slipped a 5 cent piece inside the door and it drove him mad. Notice how I started off by saying that he was my friend!
  24. Just removed my old O2 sensor and am about to install the new one. When I took the old one off and shook it, it sounded like a set of maraccas! Definetely busted (and no I didn't shake it so much that it broke, it was like that when I took it off). The old O2 sensor was very easy to remove, I had no problems with the heat shield getting in the way because... I never had one! Either I never had one when I brought the car (4 years ago) or when I put the new exhaust on the installer never put it back on. Hmmmm...
