  1. This unit hasn't been locked by any chance. Just making sure I can fiddle with it straight away.
  2. I have only just seen this topic. I know it's all over - but I want some! If there are any out there people don't want or there is another group buy please let me know. I need a pair for an RB26. Thanks.
  3. They are a fantastic car! Giving a truly spirited ride. Will the give the WRX and EVO clans a run for their money. Heaps of torque! You didn't happen to tell them that you were really interested in this particullar wicked AWD car, model - R32 thinking in your head GTR and they went off and found VW? That would be funny!
  4. Be interested to see how the fronts sound.
  5. Turbos have to be removed, so might as well fit some extractors as well hey? Usually the heat shields don't fit back on but getting the pipes ceramic coated inside and out is a really good option.
  6. I would take your standard ones out and take it down the road to see if they match up. I think that would be the easiest way. I have had success! I mangaged to fit 6 1/2" in the front of my car! It was a tight fit, with a bit of custom woodwork, but it is neat and looks standard. You would nevr know what was behind the standard grill which is a bit of a shame as the speakers look quite cool. They reside at a greater angle than the factory ones so they are directed at the occupants more. It was all done using the existing screw holes in the door as well with no additional cutting or drilling required, which also means it can be returne back to standard with the plastic speaker holders at any time. Now, time for a beer.
  7. Already got one of those too. He basically said that the competition ones would be ideal for "competition" use. They would be overkill on a road car running standard turbos etc... He did say that these would cater for any future modifications to the car (larger turbos, much higher boost, etc...) I know that this part of the system on the car will never pose a restriction no matter what sort of upgrades I intend to do in the future - a main reason why I went all out, knowing I would never have to touch it again. All I can say is that without changing anything else on the engine, the car has been transformed. I am still getting use to how differently it drives. This product must be good as although I have not tested it on the dyno I can feel a definite difference almost right through the rev range. I don't hear many other people rave about the extra power or grunt they get from there car just by changing their dump and front pipes - in my case, I am super happy! I will soon know when I get it on the dyno for a retune and boost upgrade. I'm sure the area under the curve is going to be fat!
  8. Profile is actually a percentage of the tyre width. Which is why when you go wider your profile has to be lower (percentage) to keep the right rolling diameter.
  9. The GTR race team that was eventually banned from racing way back when had an interesting method for getting off the line. They had a delay switch fitted to the front wheel drive so that the rear wheels would spin and let the engine get to it's 6000rpm with the drive train 100% locked in. Then the ATTESA would kick in and load up the front. With this method there is no wear on the clutch and the drive train had an easy start. I would imagine the transfer-box would heat up a bit, hence, the transfer case cooler.
  10. I went for the CES "Competition" pipes because of the quality of the product and that they were Australian made - I could actually talk to Trevor about what I wanted from the car and his product. The fact that they had done the improvement tests and could give a figure of the increase in performance, helped as well. They may not be as "neat looking" as the Trust/HKS ones but they work better in my opinion. And they are definitily not just copies. I think it is well worth spending the extra for the local product - and I am not speculating, I have actually had them fitted.
  11. May be interested. Let's see what the price is for 15 units. Unfortunately, I just put the turbos back on the car. Won't be keen to pull it all off again. Oh well - the price of power!
  12. I have just finished installing a set of Competition dump pipes from CES to my car. With no other changes, I would honeslty say the turbos kick in almost 1000rpm earlier giving a much needed midrange boot. The whole car seems to breathe better and you don't have to give it that little extra to get the good part of the power band. Apart from these (dump pipes and front pipes) I am only running pods and Nismo cat back exhaust and larger intercooler. I am still running the standard boost! The car really feels like it wants that extra boost now, and is going to fly when it gets it! These pipes were a great investment for my car and I highly recommend to anyone else the the CES product is the goods!
  13. That's cool. I bought some nice Clarion 2-ways for the front the other day and am making up a new surround fr them now. I ended up getting 6 3/4 though because they sounded so good for a 2-way. It is going to be a bit of a challenge to get them in - just what I need! The 6 inch should also be tight but it will fit. I suggest taking the door trims off first and taking the bits apart to have a look at what you have to play with. Interestingly enough, they had a direct replacement 4x6 in the same series. They were only $140 a pair but I doubt they would have sounded as good. Still, save a lot of mucking around.
