  1. They work by the GPS sattelite system, you connect them to the internet thru your PC to upate the maps when new ones are released. Its just a whole bunch of GPS Co-ordinates that are stored in memory, all accurate to a few meters. I'd like it to find out actual road speeds which they can aso display
  2. Was with suncorp for $2700 initially untill the first crash (They refused to renew my policy funnily enough), then changed to NRMA (Of all people) with old boys NCB it turned out to be $1500. Since this year though I have spent all my money on just getting the poor thing fixed and running again (I kid you not, fortnightly pay sucks) Just running on Comp 3rd Party at the moment. As soon as the banks let me increase my P/L or Credit cards, I will go looking for proper insurance again. The Third Party with Fire and Theft is also an option if thats all I can afford
  3. Maroon Skyline, GTS-33R, bonnet up and steam billowing out from the radiator at the Mobil1 on the Hume Highway(?) at the Hoxton Park turnoff. Having troubles mate?
  4. How stiff is the supension? You say you have Shocks and "Traction Pineapples" (WTH?) Maybe its a bit too stiff in the rear end? You ideally want some sqat when you take off. Let me have a drive of it? always wanted to feel what 266rwkw feels like, my best was 207kw on a dyno years ago.
  5. In airline use, there is a method of riveting where a big-ass pincher squeezes the metal so hard it makes a hole. Because the material isnt lost but is puched to the side, it reinforces the edges of the hole and makes it as strong as if there wasnt a hole there. There were numerous Airliners that failed due to metal fatigue like this. One where the skin of the plane split at passenger window and ripped open the top half of the cabin, and another one that opened up the luggage compartment because of cracking of fatigue on the rivets.

  7. Letterbox magnet?
  8. LFB would warm the Brakes and rotors, not the tyres

  10. And now you have a funny looking boot with holes in it
  11. single 12 over here, I can take the box out if I want also cause it just sits there and falls over when I hoot it around corners. Remind me to buy some Octopus Straps
  12. All that aside, can I get those IceLED Scanner lights? That would rock!
  13. Yeah, sounds like when I popped the intercooler pipe hose when I was playing with the boost. Could barely idle. Wouldnt be surprised if it is AFM related like Cameron said
  14. I'm interested. Any change of a getting a test drive with the ECU in place on my line?
  15. I want the CAT, can you post to Sydney? PM Me
  16. Neons can be cool, if done tastefully (Not cabletied onto the front grill in full view). I would have dont the neon thing ages ago, but I'm poor and would need someone to fit it for me (I am unlucky enough to not have a hoist, or car ramps designed for something so low. Last time I jacked up the whole side of my car it was with a sissor jack and car stands. Ended up cracking the windscreen > Havent dont it again. Only enough to change a wheel. The effort to do it well and tastefully are too much for me, cause I'm lazy
  17. w00t, I have cableties holding the corners of my front bar off the road. Best. Invention. Ever.
  18. I think its powered off the acessories line, and there is no fuse. Disconnect the trigger off from the back of the head unit, or from the back of the antenna motor itself.
  19. What about if you were rear-ended by someone, and you bent the plate back nice and straight (albiet with a little kink or two, cant get a perfect job if your not a metalworking pro) is THAT still illegal? ie, natural biffs and bings to the plate. They cant expect it to stay pristine for its whole life afterall...
  20. word, even over mild standing water at 80kph, the car wriggles and jitters like the HICAS is going off its nuts. The rears were aquaplaning, not fully, but enough to ensettle the rear end. On the F3 going home one night in the wet at 120kph, driving over a wash of water (water coming from one side of the road to another due to the camber of the road and gravity) the back will lift up entirely and sit itself down again pointing a few degrees away from the direction of travel making you shoot off into the other lane before bring it back under control. Scary stuff and I always slow right down to 80kph right awy untill I get my kajhones back D: Fresh tyres on the back makes the car feel so much better, like it was dry. I think its most likely because one wheel will aquaplane first, making the toe-in on the other wheel push it, then the other wheel will plane, and the same goes for the other wheel, making you shake around.
  21. Is it an E30 or older? (My bro has an E30)
  22. Isnt there a plate on the firewall which shows the time of manufacture? IE, Anything in the Shuwa era is over 15yo etc, because they use their Imperial calander still.
  23. Someone PM me, I want that CD!
  24. Sounds like: Fuel Zone = Duty Cycle for your injectors?
  25. Is it on plastic or fabric?
