  1. Payment made. now wheres my shaft already!
  2. the stock gauges in the din slot are fairly crap at the best of times. you will need to know what your motor is doing so get some good gauges. The stock 1s dont read very well
  3. have you had a GTR before? realize how much power they have stock? you can easily get 300awkw out of a GTR with simple cheap and easy mods like exhaust turbos and boost. if its got the 150,000 on it then maybe it already has had the pumps replaced. you would find it a lot cheaper to do a 100000km service then to rebuild the whole motor
  4. sorry mate but he's right. engine rebuilds are only if you need it. your gonna need your cash for everything that breaks down on them. keep a stash for when that happens
  5. if you just wanna get the car running so you can get it on the road, probably your best bet would be to buy a motor from a wrecker. it would turn out way cheaper in the end. there would be no way you would catch me bolting on stock turbos to a fresh motor. you can get 300awkw+ out of stock motors easily. id say only build the motor if your chasing high power figures. im not against rebuilds though. half way through my 2nd!....
  6. Congrats Jack! Great news!
  7. you wont need the controller. recommend you get it tuned though. cos its 2nd hand, it will be tuned to a different car to yours. You could install it but i wouldnt drive too hard until its tuned
  8. Stock air box! YAY! pods suck. they suck heat. they suck dirt and just generally suck.
  9. I'm happier with 1 lump sum. easier to track payment etc.
  10. when a license expires, people should be made to resit their test to get it back. that way every driver will be up to date with the new laws that had been introduced over the past few years. They will have more training and scrutineering. tougher testing is the way to go. i find im a better driver now since i got my medium rigid license and i haven't had it a week yet.
  11. I say that when a smash is within a police stations area and a car is responding to it, that a backup car should go pick up the repeat offender idiot from up the road and take him/her on a tour of the scene. graphic realism of what could happen. TAC shock ads on the TV and radio worked to an extent. why not 1 step further?
  12. In reply to what you have said kaz, i sat my medium rigid license on Saturday morning. Before the test i had a 2 hour lesson and during that time i was always told to check my mirrors every 15 secs, look up oncoming side streets before you get to them (for idiots mainly) STAY IN THE LEFT LANE and to try to do the same speed as the other vehicles around me up to the speed limit. Truck drivers are trained to stay in the left lane. they are trained in how to deal with other road users including tailgater's. (and no people, you dont speed up or slam on the brakes.) The test was the toughest test i've had to do. maybe all car testing should be as hard as truck licenses. oh and truckies that sit in the right lane doing 80 should be made to resit their licenses.
  13. damn theres too many idiots out there. people know what happens if they crash but they dont think it will happen to them until it does. a guy that i know did his license for .185. i picked him up from work the other day and he offered me a can. i had to knock it back 3 times with the reply "im driving" some people dont learn at all...
  14. Yea def the 2000hp sucka for me thanks.
  15. Thanks for the info poite. There's this joint in Mt Helen that power port everything that also do work on throttle bodies. If you wanna get some stuff ported, they will match port/resize your throttle bodies to the plenum and intake side of the head. I think they are called Specicialised Power Porting?
  16. Hey Geoff after speaking with Damian at Final Inspection (best detailers ever.) he put me off car bras. They look pretty average. Dirt gets under them and rubs as the bra moves. this will destroy your paint. Deren im with you. touch up paint as it needs it.
  17. Guys if you wanna do your exhaust manifolds, look up / Google power porting or extrude honing. Power porting is Aussie! Extrude Honing is American technology... You can guess which 1 ill be getting done.
  18. I'm in. I wanna save that extra $100 but stuff it. i got me a fair amount of torque and its only an extra $100 Cheers, Ron
  19. I know the feeling.... I had a my 1st rebuild take 8 1/2 months and it lasted 11 months... Now all of my new special parts have arrived and are getting sent out tomorow morning to get balanced and machined. How i long to get it back....Commodores are just so boring to drive
  20. Hey Paul, whats the quickest you have got those RS's to spool at?
  21. Interesting. Looking forward to seeing the dyno chart
  22. You guys are funny! if you wanna do something with your exhaust manifolds, port out the stocks. they wont crack in 12 months time like stainless. Do it now while your turbos are off.
