Disgraceful Display By Auto Industry Staff
gts-4 dreamer replied to cowie165's topic in New South Wales
been there, guess since im a croat and used to the "wog thing" it all seemed natural, im used to younger fellas tlking like that, its no particular insult, comes of arrogant. anyway, great price, they treated me like any other customer i guess, haggle on prices, eventually gave me what i wanted which was fair, took him ages to get there but anyways. I stood in line, got my car up there, they put it on and were careful enough, came and told me id need spacers etc, even told me they were illegal, told them what type to use (what type of metal etc) they wrapped my old rims and i jumped in the back to put them in myself to make sure they didnt break shit, the guy was careful anyways. before they pulled the car off the platform hoist but just about done bolting up the rims i asked what the price was to get the alignment etc, told me the mechanic was gone for the day and he couldnt get them done and put out his hand for a shake, looked like he was saying something so i shook his hand smiled and got the misses in the car an went home, got a wheel alignment from a different joint, maybe he was beeing nice eh ? either way he was the younger fella running the shop that day and not the big boss in the office so either way they were ok with me and id go back. they didnt talk any other kind of shit to me that any other salesmen wouldnt and didnt act anything more than busy so meh aye -
agreed big up the overpriced EVO's, awsome car.... oh wait.. I live in aus, I'd have to pay damed near double in equiv $$ values to get it seccond hand, then again theres always the way overpriced wrx's running around.....hmmmmmm ok i wont go to the over priced second hand car market we have but still, definetly go the real AWD, not your stocker rexy, atleast the sti has dual limo diffs... actually... dont remember when the rexy got the limo diff in rear... i think the base wrx has them now to...

Help On B.o.v Style And Sound
gts-4 dreamer replied to O.I.C Napster's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
so if i dont want the flutter or the woooosh sound but like a higher pitch whistle like steam out of a kettle but real short, oh and have it 50/50 plumb back for the fully sick kettle sound ? what would i buy ? -
always used bp ultimate around my local, could feel a difference and per tank of gas got further on avg, real numbers filled in parra @ teh wooly's station as was getting onto empty line thanx to misses picking me up an not gassing up ^^ best tank of fuel ever, best price was packed cuase tehy sell cheaper than everywhere. the fact that shite loads of fuel goes through, "fresher" fuel maybe, less time swishing in tanks with the added station mixers ? eh eitehr way, went the furthest ever, like freakishly better, no a single frigging nock and 200k's to less than half tank, when i get 300k's on avg per tank. 97 s2 stocker with cat back, mod suspension and a quickshift kit

gts-4 dreamer replied to gts-4 dreamer's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY search querys why is it i can never find something, i seem to always end up with totaly unrelated shite CHEERS for the hookup mate much appreciated aye -
Anyone know of a full ECU replacement that would operate my active diff inteligently?? Am I restricted to piggyback's on the standard ECU, BAHHHHh so wish you could flash the stock 33 ECU like ECU-TECH. getting my parts together to modd an dyno at once Usual stage 1 stuff stage 2 FMIC from just jap $550 has batmbl fixed his 3" split front/dump so the O2 sensor doesnt sit to close ? if so... someone hook me up iwth a link so I can price stuff from him. $80-120? 3" hiflow cat 575cfm ? 3" catback to quite but flowing muff > sounds like oxymoron to me but meh. 1500 roughly to get all this NEW. safc2 or replacement ECU depending another 1500 ? 3 grand, barely make it. already have quickshift kit, adjustable suspension and rear camber kit in hte car + wides tyres. need replacement brake pads prolly soonerish and exhuast manifold and head studs replaced prolly for good measure with the increase in boost im planing then after all this the fabled $600 GCG turbo rebuild that when researched turned out to be $2k on thier website

Hesitation Over 4.5k, Loss Of Power?
gts-4 dreamer replied to gts-4 dreamer's topic in General Maintenance
I should have specified a bit more, aparently STOCK AS A ROCK power wise STOCK BOOST !, unless you count a muffler change, which is all, + the adjustable shocks and quick shifter she's completely stock, had no idea the injectors on s2's were deep purple, every one I have seen have been black or white and when i asked onthe forum specifically about htem was not answered, aparently too silly a question eh? anyways the problem has all but disapeared, it only seems to happen once the car is warm and when i mean warm HOT, aparently the misses must have used the loud pedal a fair bit on the way to pick me up cuase I had to take it to a track to heat it up enough to get it to start doing it which is did after about 20 minutes of hard running. still sound like cracked plugs or coils ? WIERD !! -
Hesitation Over 4.5k, Loss Of Power?
gts-4 dreamer replied to gts-4 dreamer's topic in General Maintenance
cleaned recently with electrical parts cleaner stuff, spray on shite you buy It doesnt really miss fire, was fine had been driving for a while then booting it comeing onto the freeway to get up to speed and hesitation and i stopped excellerating, its fine below 4k rpm but soon as you hit the second stage boost it goes nowhere also has 2 other issues worth noting, has unknown size deep purple injectors and has always run rich while i've owned it, also has had a swap to platinum plugs 2-3 months ago -
Hey guys, used 3/4 of my lunch searching for an answer so im just gona ask, got a problem, s2 r33, stock ecu and boost control, once over 4000 rev's the car begins to hesitate and it feels as if its loosing power, i.e. it just pull like the 5psi below 4000 is pulling hrder..... where should i begin the look. possibilities ? im no mechanic but i can pull stuff apart... famous expensive words, point being, the exhuast manifold looks ok, dont hear any leaks when idling, cant hear any leaks but cant tell over the whine of the car, it has always made a high pitched leak sound but it comes out of the right end of the exhuast, probably due to my small 2.5" exhaust, my stock dump is bigger.

used it once for 1/4 of a tank, seems to be ok, no NEW problems anyways

hmmm..... all i have to say is, take my car in for some work to the front end, I.e steering rack and come home to feel like the power going down isnt quite right.... get under the ass end the next day.... low and behold my active lsd now has different front cover... hmmmm.... il post a pick up and you can tell me what you think eh..... trust worthy mech shop or a shop about to be burned to the ground... meh il post some picks of hte internals to after i pull it off this weekend

Heres How She Looks Now
gts-4 dreamer replied to brother_david's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
yesw, but where to find a oem with adjustable flap gtr wing ? Like the original gtr wings, the ripoff copies look so shite by comparison -
currently 97 s2 with coilovers, front adjustable, back is too frigging hard to get to and therefore not adjustable ^&^, quick shift kit, active lsd, 2.5" cat back, hks injectors, size yet to be fully tested as I hadnt installed them. my exhuast manifold is ok, the studs are all there, same with head studs so... for 5k full 3" slowly getting to 3.5" exhuast with a tip that looks good but doesnt necesarily drone like crazy if possible FMIC as im running around with shit smic $600 GCG full steel rebuild of turb with bb cartridge replacement ecu that IS compatible with my active lsd, vvt and will work with my existing sensors and give me a readout on my laptop, but finding something that will work with my active lsd is the shite a bonnet fitted snorkel to my stock airbox like a reverse scoop and some decent 18" nismo white rims hmmm soooo $800 exhuast $600 just jap imitation hybrid kit, the one with decently shaped end tanks $600 turb upg ecu > 1-1.5k snorkel > probably replacement carbon fibre bonnet with reverse scoop i can duct to my stock airbox... 1-1.5k nismo 18" white rims.....1-1.5k thats 6.5k sooo less the rims eh then the cost of getting it all in and tuned.... tooo bad bare essentials. first 4 decent power.... hmmmmm funfun

Did Veilside Ever Make Kit For A R33 S2?
gts-4 dreamer replied to lingeringsoul's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I like the front and sides of my stock looking s2, I do have a lip on he stock front bar which i think enhances it allot as the lower leading edge was just a little to tame for me. the only part im not so hot for is the rear end, I've seen a few lines with a piece protruding on the lights making them slightly berried, looked hot, trying to find a rear bar that fits into the rest of my car and and also get the light.... i dunno... "covers" that make the lights recessed inside so theres a bit more overhang, so they look the same way durring hte day as they do @ night.... if you can picture what im saying. sharpen the hole ass of my car... though then it wouldnt hook upto my boot properly.... hmmm wonder how that guy did it... wish i had taken photo's at the time -
muhahah whats sad is if my car is running all you can smell is the exhuast fumes and most unburnt petrol being pissed out my tail pipe from the expensive 600cc side fed injectors in the block with a stock ecu and stock smic, non-standard 1 piece dump which i thought was just the stocky with some shit sheet metal cover but turns out to be larger dump to my non stock cat, (also NFI what type etc) but it's inlet and outlet both 2.5" to my 2.5" cat back to my rather silent 3" outlet mufler that makes a wheezing sound on full STOCK boost.... i get about 200km's to a tank oh and my f**kwit couzin decided to redline her and she has had some shite ticking sound in the exhuast since and started rev hunting that night, hasnt rev hunted since, havent noticed the ticking sound cept 1'ce since... hmm.... f**king give me an ecu and a front mount and some decent head studs, some replacement exhuast manifold studs and accompanying gasket. and i could make some decent power.... probably would get the same mileage to.... f**king car, worse than a women

Skyline GT-T R34 or Supra RZ?
gts-4 dreamer replied to TracidTrax's topic in General Automotive Discussion
2jz baby, give me a gtt with a vvti 2jz-gte swap .. and your prolly talking something big fun but you gota have the sequential twin setup... else it looses it for me, get all flopy and that's never good. but why bother, cheaper to just upg the neo det, hmmm wonder about installing a sequential setup into it eh ? for that added drivability wonder how those boys went with the uneven sized sequentials, hmmm small first screw and somhow have it flow enough to pump the big fan through the waste gate ? eh saw a vl with teh 2.5/3 L conversion somewhere that had a sequential twin setup.. gota dig that dirty website up . think i got it off here actually -
Skyline GT-T R34 or Supra RZ?
gts-4 dreamer replied to TracidTrax's topic in General Automotive Discussion
tt supra for a daily any day, cruising is a f**king dream, give it a squirt and she pumps along like crazy, 2jz.... like many before me, is the my choice, awsome throughout the rev range, want to cruise low rpm, no problem,, want to bounce shy of redline and sure, throw small mods, i.e. exhuast, fmic and management, and your pulling allot more power that a gtt, the gtt would need an injector upgrade and a shite load of boost to keep up and last about 3/4 as long eh ? im an ass man, love the girls azz, luv the supra's azzz, the gtt lights are good, but the sup's front end is an ugly thing gtt with a gtr kit an they look awsome, get an aero tt and swap out the 6 sp getrag and the limo diff and wooooosa, sex on wheels wheres that dude with teh black aero tt MANUAL when you need him ? -
lets see, teen years, always fit, left highschool, went to uni, got even fitter, stronger, bigger to, end of uni, settle down with misses, live together, both start putting on wieght, im 6ft croat, went from 75kg's at my fitest am now like 100+ and probably no taler heh the misses pudged up a lil, but her philo butt isnt gona go much more, think she went 10kg's but she's like a full foot shorter so it shows jst as much hmm working full time hours doesnt help, specially when you cant do much before work as you never seem to wake up much before getting your shit together an getting to work, then finnishing work not everything is shut by the time you get home. eh, im going to start runing very night, you guys have inspired me to do something about it
-
otherwise termed "suckers" anyone who doesnt research a car before buying is just stupid p.s. i was going to say, sub 25k importers for 22-25k havent looked around much lately but basically they were on the 5k+ more than s2 33's

Front Lips For Series 2 Skyline
gts-4 dreamer replied to Cro_boy_Mario's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
yea that's what i've got, makes the front that bit more bulky looking, luv it now a replacement for my s2 wing that isnt shit, aparently the do-luck style boot i was after isnt do-luck at all, a boot lid that sits flush with the rear 1 piece quater panels is what i want, not a drifter wing, just flat else ima have to go an oem gtr wing like every other car on the road humbug -
how many markets are still up for big cubes ? australia..... japan ? didnt think japan would be considering the availability of decent ron fuel and cold climates hmm ricer vette, 1500hpatw
-
phat, never saw your wheels before, im impressed, reckon the ass would look a little ugly with the wing but gt wings always look good from front and sides, hti from azz end impressed though, druzila, noice show car styles, seeing your ride hight makes me think daily fun isnt in it's repitoire cant wait to be able to afford a 32r weekend runner prolly be goind for allot of the stock look with lipidge and skirts for now my 33t will do, she's a fun mobile, daily fun, but fun love it
