  1. I want one too, the only one I found was $420 though. I can't afford it but I just let you know in case you want it. In melbourne.
  2. Hello all you drifters out there! I've been given the wonderfull role of moderating this forum. About me: I've been drifting for around 10 years now, but every time I see a good japanese drift video, I realise there's still a lot to learn. I've had quite a few cars, over thirty I think, and all of them have been drifted. It's not just about power, but more about technique. My first drift car was a datsun 1600 with around 40 rwkw. My last was a 180SX with around 150rwkw, and I've had just about everything in between. My current car is a R32 Skyline currently undergoing modifications, but should be on the road this week. If any of you need some advise feel free to post here or PM me. I'm located in Melbourne and can also offer demonstrations and tuition if required. Happy Drifting, Doc.
  3. They're $320 new, and I know a guy who's got one for $250 never used. What's your best price?
  4. Can anyone help me source a Bosch fuel pump of the 600 HP variety. My R32 will be back on the road on Friday, and needs a new pump to maintain pressure under boost. PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL ME ASAP if you are in melbourne and can help. [email protected] 0411 878 961 Cheers, Sam
  5. hehehehe.... those tires are fun for drifting but not much else ) I now know what you mean..... What car have you got?
  6. J, What sort of car is it? Changing tyres wont help, I've tried it. Some of it is due to shockies but most is due to your subframe moving aroung.... Keep me posted if you want me to order a set. Doc.
  7. Ok, There's four main bolts that hold your subframe on. All of these bolts have rubber bushes in them that allow the entire rear sub-frame to move around. Pinapples reduce the movement of these bushes. You can mount the pinapples either above or below the subframe to take up the movement. These particular ones are designed to mount diagonally opposite, IE Front Top & Rear Bottom OR Front Bottom & Rear Top.... When you take up the slack in this manner it will slightly rotate the entire rear subframe, and hence your lower control arms. I believe it is this change in angle of the lower control arms that gives you your different handling characteristics. Switching them over is a simple matter of removing and refitting by the other method. LEGALITY => I have no idea, and refuse to 'guess'. You would need to speak to an engieeer for approval. I would simply paint them black when fitted and plead ignorance if it becomes a problem. J, Hope this helped your curiosity. The JMS instructions are in Japanese and difficult to interpret. Call me if you want to discuss? 0411 878 961 Doc.
  8. Nope, axle tramp is when you get wheel spin and your wheels and subframe 'bounce' a bit and cause major vibrations through your car. Of course bouncing wheels are not good for take off. If you need further explaination call me on 0411 878 961. Doc.
  9. I'm sure we can work out a deal for fitting them and some RB20DET computer??
  10. Read my post in Private parts for sale regarding PINEAPPLES, these greatly reduce axle tramp, and can be setup for GRIP or DRIFT. Doc.
  11. Any one out there with an R32 or S13? You sick of the rear axle tramp on hard launches? Want better take off? OR How bout making the rear more predictable for drifting? I HAVE YOUR ANSWER => PINEAPPLES These are urethane rings that solid mount, and modify the angle of, your rear sub-frame. There are two methods of installation, GRIP and DRIFT. This modification to your car is completely reversable, can be changed between GRIP and DRIFT in around an hour or so, and greatly reduces axle tramping. These 'PINEAPPLES' have been marketed by Japanese Motorsports in Adelaide for $150 for a while now. I have found a local source, and can supply them for $110 WITH ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS. I can also fit these to your car if your in the melbourne area. PM me, E-Mail me at [email protected], or call me on 0411 878 961 if you are interested.
  12. It's just a second hand motor.... I would suggest possible piston damage from valve contact?? I just want another motor in there!~!~!~@3124
  13. Nah, lined all the marks up spot on, turned it over o few times and checked again, still spot on. I can turn the motor over by hand.... Feels like no compression at all. It's under warranty and all that, but I still gotta pay somone to put it in dammit!@$# Thanks for ya help anyway....
  14. Car was idleing at stop light when it happened. Just finished putting it back together with new bolt and cam belt and crossed my fingers, but it was turning over flat out like it had no compression... Not even a litlle hint of life (
  15. Thanks SDU4EVA, it wasn't the answer I was hoping for. My CAM belt didn't actually snap, the idler pulley bolt sheared off for some reason and the cam belt had no tension..... Motor was only in there for two weeks %#^@#^% I just wish the warranty covered labour. Thanks anyway, Doc.
  16. Does anyone know for certain wether the RB20DET will have valve damage from a snapped cam-belt?
  17. Would you consider selling just the rears? If so I would be interested soon.
  18. NOTE: Only bit of pipe for sale is the bend that the BOV is mounted on. The alloy piping is part of my TRUST FMIC which is still on the car. My old motor died and is available for parts. BOV and Filter still for sale as well.
  19. Need standard airbox, filter and induction setup to clear EPA defect for pod filter. Please e-mail if you have one you would like to loan or sell to me. [email protected]
  20. Got One, is was working in my car a couple of weeks ago, I just left the one on my new motor, so I guarantee it works well. What's it worth to ya? Call me on 0411 878 961
