wheels and BOV SOLD, other items still available.

10-12psi is generally regarded as the safe limit for an R33 turbo.. If you run 14psi on the street and only do the odd traffic light grand prix then sure it'll probably handle it but try half a dozen laps on a track and you'll be limping back to the pits to lick your wounds.

you have PM

It's been way too long since I did a Nasho run as well.

prodrive have registered for 2010, that makes the stakes interesting because they have already publically commented that the proposed cap is much higher than they were initially expecting. so mosley can either say "f.. you" to ferrari and impose a cap and we have an F1 with no ferrari and prodrive, or he can shit all over the newcomer. if anyone wants me i'll be in the corner with my popcorn, watching this drama unfold

limited K's rego sounds like it would make more sense.. dunno if they force you to count your track kms though.

Probably what some dumbass's logic was, for leaving it in a high gear. You will definitely move if you crank it in a low gear. The reason for parking it in a low gear ie 1st gear is that 1st provides the greatest resistance to moving. 4th gear will roll freely, 1st will stop a car. If you're on a really steep hill then reverse is normally a bit shorter still so use it instead. Personally I always park on flat ground so I leave it in neutral. If I park it on a steep driveway then I leave it in gear.

Viscous LSDs are a sealed unit, use non-LSD oil. I put Gear 300 in my gearbox and diff and it is fantastic. S15 diffs are Torsen, they use gears instead of clutch packs to perform the LSD function therefore you do NOT need friction modified LSD oil. You only need friction modified oil on LSDs that use clutch packs.

turn it into a hanging mobile for your kid, so they can become a GTR fan. bonus points if it drops, you just helped evolution weed out people who can't build shit safely

12.8 on a rock solid tune may be fine, but if it goes from 12 to 12.8 and the tuner is out of room for adjustment then there are some serious issues that need to be addressed, especially the "out of room for adjustment" part. Who's to say whatever is at its limit has a lazy day one day and then you're at 13.5:1 or worse.

I thought the commentators had introduced their interviewee incorrectly... that's a stunner of a comment to come from a rookie who has done nothing so far, Piquet should pull his head in he is about to lose his drive in F1 because he's a complete hack. Too much ego not enough talent, methinks.

Brake fluid should be fine unless it's old or you've boiled it IMO.. doesn't need doing as often as engine oil but if you gave it a quick bleed every oil change then you'd be sorted. That'll keep the fluid moving through the lines enough that a full flush isn't necessary, if you regularly track it. I think I did my brakes about a year ago, did a wakie day today and my coolant temp started moving before I had brake problems.. although the brakes were spongy after sitting in the pits they were fine after 1 pump once i got back in

there's a low-rpm cutout on AC so that you don't stall your car, sounds like yours is set too high. i've seen knobs on an ECU which control the low RPM cutout before, or it's under the passenger side dash a lot of the time. can't help ya with R33s unfortunately never needed to find it on mine

it won't stress the engine and there's no harm in doing the FMIC now, you just won't realise much benefit until you do the exhaust because the stock system is a bottleneck to making good power.

it's not a case of too much boost for the exhaust to handle, the more you try and force air through (boost) the more your exhaust backpressure goes up to oppose it. fit a nice free flowing exhaust and the backpressure drops away meaning at the same level of force (boost) you push a lot more air through the engine. think of an engine like an air pump, the more air (and fuel) you get through it the more power you make. boost is just a measure of restriction, you're applying 10psi of pressure to try and get air to move through the engine.

yay finally 10 are showing qualifying.. got live timing going as well this should be fun watching the times tumble edit: red flag lewis has binned it! lol

front mount may give you slightly more lag because of the larger air volume to fill, but it will change the induction sound more than anything else. 8-9psi should be fine but there's not much point going higher until you sort the exhaust out, and once you do I'd run no more than 10psi considering where you live. Heat is the enemy of stock turbos but 10psi will be safe.

if it's running rich i would suspect an air leak in your piping

Funnily enough we have someone at work who fitted Paranormal 18# to his commodore. and yes he is a gigantic fag. They really do scream "no style" like turning up to a black tie function and dragging your arse across the carpet like a dog with worms.

was reading a thread recently and a workshop operator said he'd been through a bunch of tridon thermostats that were crap, and caused problems. just use the nissan one. also there is no reason to use a lower temperature it will NOT help you, it just means your car won't get up to temp and you'll lose fuel efficiency.

thanks for posting, you gave me a great chuckle as well.. water into steam lol

I wouldn't leave any car I cared about with the same fluid for even 100k, no matter how much fairy dust they claimed was in it.

Meh. that is all.

Asstray just needs to add a scoop to it so the FMIC actually gets air forced through it. I've illustrated this below. Note the extra room to add a "l33t" sticker on the side of the scoop so people realise how cool you are.
