I think I got mine for about $140 each from Bridgestone Campbelltown in the summer

White R34 GTT 34BEN up on the mount at JAX Tyres Kensington. Hope you get back on the road soon!

Spotted on Hume Hwy in Casula

Reduce weight, I guess. You could take out the back seats.

Spotted an immaculate R31 GTSR at gym this afternoon in Liverpool

So I got the a second hand gasket for $10 today at Skyline Works in Fairfield. The old one as you can see was pretty worse for wear A couple of mates swung by to lend me a hand, we put the gasket in, sealed it up and now the car is running beautifully. Better than ever with the new Splitfires!

I'm looking for the gasket for this thing Anybody know where I can get it from?

You have to take it off to get easy access to where the coils are. Don't think there could be any other reason, unless there's a hose unplugged. I ask because I can't drive it to the shop the way its running.

I had misfires and pulled error code 21 from my N/A R34, so I got a set of Splitfires and a mate came round to help me install them. When we put it all back together and gave it a crank, the engine ran very rough, it was honestly much worse after swapping the coils than before, completely undriveable. There was a loud popping noise coming from the intake manifold, a strong smell of fuel and smoke from the exhaust and after I moved the car back into the garage I noticed that there was a puddle of coolant underneath where the car had been parked. My mate reckoned the intake gasket was cooked, which made sense because when we opened up the intake manifold earlier in the day the gasket looked out of shape and it was difficult to fix the manifold back in place since the gasket wouldn't line up and one of the nails was threaded.

From a standing start? Do you have a manual?

This. How much straight road do you need to get to 180+? The quickest I've been in mine is only 150 and even that took like 700m of dead empty highway.

Is that where the intermodal's going to be located? That's no good. Moorebank Ave and Anzac Rd, which are the only two ways to access it, are small local roads. They can't handle an intermodal facility on top of local traffic, of which there is a lot during peak hours.

I need to get some touch up paint, BP9. This is probably a stupid question but is there any difference between getting a spray can and normal paint with a brush?

Cheers for the advice. I really want to learn how to do it myself, it looks like a lot of fun, plus I'd save so much money. Splitfires are about $20 each cheaper than OEMs through Kudos. I have the non turbo R34, it's a bit more complicated to do the coils than with the RB25DET. Apparently you have to remove the intake manifold and the strut brace to get to them. There's a nice guide here which shows how to do it. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122284-r34-replacing-spark-plugs-on-neo6-rb20de-rb25de/ I do have a couple of mates who have good mechanical skills. I might ask one of them to lend me a hand.
