  1. We are still talkin about his car
  2. Great result and congratulations! Just an observation. That plenium would have to be one of the biggest i have seen, is it necessary? I have seen many Skylines making more power with smaller pleniums. Just stating it as you mentioned it rubs on the bonnet insulation, and noticed the lack of a strut brace. Once it is time to rebuild my eng. i am also considering going down the rb30 path. Hopefully that wont be for a while as my car is just getting some head work done and would like to enjoy it b4 having to spend more money . How do you find the rb30? Is it slower to rev? To explain: The rb20 eng. is a faster reving motor, compared to the rb25, so is the rb30 slower again? Apart from the obvious torque advantage, have you noticed any other differences?
  3. If you are sure it hasn't been repainted, then they are correct, it is a rare factory colour, but i always thought it only came out on R34 GTR's.
  4. Still happening www.skylinesaustralia.com explorer default security only started with forum upgrade.
  5. Make sure you take someone with you, preferably some one that knows alot about Skylines or at least a pannel beater or a mechanic. Car yards can talk a lot of crap and hide a lot of faults, be careful
  6. I am asking the following questions, NOT to undermine your product, but to get a clear understanding; Is such an alarm legal? Does it have a fail safe system to disable the car while not in motion? I have heard that previous alarms of this type have been banned/prohibited as it may cause a fatal accident. If a theif was to steal your car, then you get a message from the alarm, you disable the engine, cutting off; power steering, brakes, etc. The theif then looses control and kills someone or hurts himself, as a result of the your actions. I am sure the insurance will refuse to pay the costs, as the accident had occured, by you disabling the car while in motion. I would suggest that all interested ppl contact their insurance company and explain all details of this alarm (especially the part about disabling the car's ignition system/power while the car may be in motion.) and ask if they would cover such a device.

  7. If you want it fixed under warrenty you have to go back to the same place. If you go else where they will laugh and tell you to shove the bill up your as..........................
  8. We had a drag day at Heathcote a few months ago.
  9. Well thanks for the "early" notice Here i am, at home, waiting for my mate to finish working at Calder, when i could have been there, having a few runs with you guys . Lately i have been considering taking it down, to see how much of an improvemnt the car has made since last time. Now i will have to wait another month b4 i can test it, as it is getting a few more performance tweaks. ohh well, have a great night and post up your results. Al
  10. I helped a mate install his Hybrid kit, and they are anything but a complete bolt up kit. You will need; -A GOOD metal hole saw (larger than the diametre of the pipes) -A Drill and Tap set for the vacuum line -A Grinder/Cutter for the front bar -A Dremal tool to trim the corner of the eng. fan, to ensure it does not touch the Hybrid cross-over pipe. Remember to tighten the clamps really tight, just to the point where you can see the bolts on the clamps bend. On the hose that connects the factory cross-over pipe to the Hybrid pipe, use the factory clamp, on the factory pipe end of the hose. I think the factory pipe is a little thicker and the provided clamps is just a bee's d**k too small. DO NOT USE any type of greasy lubricant (vasaline, grease, oil, etc) to make the hose slip over the piping easier. But a little smudge of soapy water round the outer edge of the pipe would be ok as it will dry up. It's been ages since i did it and i told myself that i will never do it again. I probably forgot a few things, but i am sure you will figure it out .

    Happy Birthday Adz

    Happy B'day, you know i will try and make an appearance. Who's house am i crashing at ?
  12. Its all about the off-set. You can make 10" wide rims fit and make 8" wide rims not fit, if you have the wrong offset.
  13. Nah, just customly modified
  14. How would you adapt the earthing kit to a R33 (battery in boot)? Will i need to run a new earth cable from the boot to the eng. bay?
  15. Prank: This is what Rowdy is refering to
  16. Or you can buy the SAU Motorsport DVD for $10
  17. Bec, that should read; "Teh Lada Can Nevar Die"
  18. Patrick, Jamezilla (James) ownes Golgo (Purple ppl eater....... sorry i mean R33 GTR)

  20. Came to the Macedon cruise, good bloke, nice car too.
  21. Told ya to come, ya whimp
  22. Thanks buddy So many ppl i didn't have a chance to catch up with everyone. Once again we had a few new faces, which is always good to see, if i forget your names (and i will) let me appoligise now . Was an awesome drive, great to see everyone be respectful on the roads, and keep within our guidelines. Was also great to see the Police having a look and deciding to let us be, as i saw them at various stages throughout the cruise, just shows that we still have a good reputation. I only took a few photos as i had Bec for only half the cruise and was by myself the rest of the way.
  23. At 14psi i would guess that you will probably make about 220-230rwkw. I am not a mechanic, i am just going by what i have seen other cars make with a similar turbo.
