  1. Sorry if this is a dumb question, has anyone turboed these motor/ are there turbo kits for them off the shelf ? cheers
  2. yea i meant on dry even surfaces, Ididnt change the oil recently, but yea in the wet the car does kick sideways anymore so the diff isnt locking up anymore like it used to maybe the lack of power is just my engine getting old lol
  3. as topic says, my diff doesnt seem to lock anymore, and under full throttle in second it doesnt accelerate as hard anymore, would it be the diff not putting the power to the ground through both rear wheels ? thanks
  4. GTR hoses and another set of SARD injectors still available.
  5. Yea when i drove the car home that night, the white smoke didnt really smell it was like hardcore steam, only coolant leaked and it came out from somewhere behind the block which is also where the steam came from...... I was told $1500 to fix if its a headgasket...seems quite steep.... :S
  6. so start it up and on a cold motor see if there are air bubbles in the coolant ? if it is the headgasket, how much $$$ am I up for roughly ? thnx
  7. hey guys, Got more issues with my rb25det... My car used to overheat heaps, so i got a new radiator and thermostat and since that the car was sweet with water temps around 80C on my PFC, then one day i got home and there was white smoke coming from the rear of the motor (firewall side), it was pretty bad, it kept goin for a few mins after turning the car off, a fair bit of coolant leaked somewhere from the block (it looked like it came from the rocker cover gasket), Now the car starts and runs weird as if itdropped a couple cylinders, whats your thoughts on what it could be? headgasket? or am I up for a rebuild? Cheers
  8. Nintendo DS Lite New condition Comes with charger Hard Case 5 games Price: $ 190 PM if interested.
  9. As topic says 3" straight through cannon muffler, just needs a clean $80 call 0411268451 or pm me
  10. As topic says, do you simply undo the hose near the bottom of the engine which connects to the steering rack, start the car and at the same time keep topping up the power steering resovoir bottle with new fluid ?
  11. Yeah im leaning towards this, im hoping the thermo was stuck andn ot letting any water to circulate or the pump is weak/corroded just like the rest of the components... if i replace the water pump what else should be changed while im at it? Sorry a million questions but im learning cheers
  12. its possibly just residue coz after all the flushing etc this is the first time i noticed the rainbow thing, oil in the engine is black not milky at all, also this whole issue may due to poor coolant maintenance because when u flush a torch inside the water manifold where the top radiator hose goes its all covered in brown paste/resdue which must be corrosion and that doesnt happen overnight does it? this means that internally the engine would likely to look the same which is a unfixable isnt it?
  13. I check the engine oil and its brown-black, no moisture under the cap, also same colour on the stick. I went down to the local radiator joint and explained the situation, the guy rekons to clean ev erything and try my new radiator on.... I have just washed out and cleaned the coolant resovoir bottle and the connecting hoses and as I was washing my driveway from the brown crap i saw that rainbow effect reflecting in the water as u see in fuel, so fuel contamination, is it possible?
  14. I just had a feel of the brown water and its quite greasy, perhaps it is oil in the coolant, so therefore f**ked headgasket? does that make sence with the perfectly green collant inside the block?
  15. thanks for the help guys, here ios the story, Car suddenly ran out of coolant due to poor maintenance of the coolant, the radiator inside looked blocked and had very brown filthy coolant in it, was horrible, i flushed it as much as i could and filled it up and was ok for a few weeks, now whenever the car warms up it overheats badly and it steams from the top radiator hose mailnly but the bottom hose is quite warm also.. now: -I have checked the thermostat and its fine, however when i pulled out the thermostat behind it (in the block) was nice an green coolant, everything before coolant enters the block which is the top/bottom radiator hoses + radiator had filthy brown shit in it, that should mean something right? however the thermo opens up fine, i tested it in boiling water :S -clutch fan seems ok So far I have taken off the old radiator and got a new one ready here, I have flushed the block via the heater hoses and took off the coolant reservoir bottle and gave it a clean (had brown shit in it too) Anything else i can do? should i install the new radiator and see what happens? If its the water pump im just gona give it to the mechanic to do. much appreciated guys !
  16. As topic says, how dio you check the the water pump is alive on an R33 gtst?
