  1. UK Ministry of Sound 2008 Annual i, uh, obtained it 'somehow' then realised it was the UK version, when i was after teh Oz version
  2. WARNING - MANIFOLD DANGER!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Boom, out comes the footwell :P or from another classic movie Matrix:Reloaded "hmmm, upgrades...."
  3. now run the nos the whole way through the run......
  4. theres another 18kw.... good result nonetheless....
  5. hmmm...i would be looking carefully at the graph with the NOS there is only a 24kw increase in peak power (which is about 32 HP) really there should be around a 55kw increase as NOS is fairly affective at achieving the stated HP gain... i want to see a torque curve....
  6. as soon as i read it (with no knowledge of the pfc) i would say vacuum leak somewhere check all intake hoses to make sure they're connected and tight a constant hunt for idle suggests that air is getting into the plenum not via the throttle body and so the idle goes up - the idle air controller then stops airflow - but the idle goes down - and then it increases it, but air is leaking in still, so it goes down meh...but you say it happened after you put the pfc in???
  7. NOOOOOOOO!!!!! a good exhaust shop should be able to modify the 25 headers to fit the 26 head no worries from memory its only the orientation of one or two flanges need to be changed around...
  8. they have to.... it has to be clearly mentioned in the add the terms and conditions - and its not and they have to (by law?) uphold the offer in the catalogue
  9. ^^^^bwahahaahah my understanding of the laws was that everywhere but WA and QLD you could have a nos kit, but the bottle was not allowed to be in the car on the road WA and QLD its illegal to even have the NOS lines...... guy i no has 2 nos kits - one for the engine, one for the intercooler spray....
  10. mines an X3 excel the X2's were mitsu engined anyway so a 4g63 drop wasnt that hard at all... in the X3's requires custom driveshafts = big money can do a 1.8 or 2 litre hyundai lantra engine swap and then turbo, but requires a bit of piss farting around (and the standard gearbox HAS to be used, and the extra torque from the 2 litre kills em really easy)
  11. sweet wet or dry kit? the interesting thing will be the torque curve b4 and after the awesome thing about a nos kit is the torque they create - as power is generated from torque and your exhaust is the right size too - a nos'd engine should have a decent size exhaust as it flows a damn lot when you hit that button.... i could imagine seeing a graph of 200kw and 700+nm of torque.....
  12. you obviously have never tried to pull up really quickly trying to avoid an accident..... increasing the braking affect (by either better pads/rotors, or bigger brakes full stop) is to increase the brake threshold - the point were you can brake just b4 the tyres lock up cars are manufactured to fall inside a certain range (i think its got something to do with GVM, stopping distance and engine power) often a manufacturer will give a car brakes sufficient enough to fall just inside that range - meaning lower cost and less r&d increase engine power in a car and you need bigger brakes to fall in the range increase GVM and you need bigger brakes to fall in the range keep engine power and GVM the same and increase brake size and you are well in the range - and can stop quicker and safer and in the fact of track work or twisty sections - brakes are used a lot more, they heat up and increase in heat=less braking ability sometimes a manufacturers brake specs are sufficient to warrant a better pad/rotor combo when power increases sometimes it requires a whole new brake package Im weighing up the cost of turbocharging my excel - something i could do for 4g's, 500$ of which would go to slotted rotors, new pads, and possibly converting my rear drums to discs... /end spiel....
  13. +1 for heater core....
  14. haha - the lighter the car the less brakes you need right??? just down shift and let teh engine do teh slowing right!!!! seriously brake upgrading is the best thing anybody can do to a car....
  15. this is a quote of mine from a thread a while ago use it as you see fit....
  16. the only reason why im running a 800*600 screen is because im on a 12" screen on my laptop......
  17. original brad....
  18. we had a boxer named DUKE but we put him down tuesday (he was 11 yrs old, almost 12)
  19. bwahahahahahahahhaha well steve said that he got stickered in a stock as a rock toyota a couple of weeks ago - because apparently there was tinting on the from windscreen which didnt even exist!!!!!!!
  20. what about street quick performance in maddington renowned for building hipo engines - including many of Marks Workshop cars
  21. is it a permanent move ron or a 'oliday i think the car had some chromies on it b4 - maybe he changed em to r33 rims for the trip across the 'bor
  22. haha everything else i have seen - ie multifunction displays that display 0-400, 0-100kays etc - were more expensive then one of these greddy turbo timers.....
  23. i would try nissan australia you might be lucky and they might have a kit or a mould lying somewhere....
  24. HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! i was thinking - 'looks good, sounds alright' then it came on boost and cracked that gate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  25. almost looks like wrong engine bay pic
