  1. check it out as in mechanically??.... do it yourself champ.... first thing is check for smoke..... get them to start it up for 5 minutes... pop the bonnet listen for any suspicious noises... and put a 20 cent coin on the rocker cover... if the coin stays there its good:).... and once its warm tell them to punch the throttle up to 4 grand while u stand behind the exhaust.. look for smoke. then check engine bay and under carrage intensly for leaks of any sort... check tires for remaining tread and definatly check oil. when test driving get a feal for the gearbox if manual to see if there is much meat left on the synchros.... maybe shift faster than usual once or twice throught 1st second and third and see if there are any clunks or grinds... next in a quiet back street stab the brakes fairly hard to a stand still to see if they are firm and solid.... im sure there is lots other people can add but these are major points covered good luck
  2. i never like to bad mouth a company but i 100% agree with you.... i went their just after i bought my line.. and new nothing about workshops in adelaide.... could and should have bought it over the net cheap!! and installed it myself.... if ya can put an rb20det in a vl ya can install a cooler ( i found out the hard way and learnt a good lesson about saving money) as for where i do take my car for specialty stuff.. grayham west workshops... they go out of their way with the extras and as for those coil overs... i want pics up when their fitted and im not doubting the fact that u will pick a good hight... remember there are lots of spoon drains in adelaide
  3. ford sadly fit a skyline and vise versa.. same stud patturn but holdens are a no no.... wanted to put my vlt 18's on the line but it was a no go. have to stick to the enkei's and 255's
  4. pics at mallala or ban hahah congrats on the coil overs... the question is how low will deluxe go??? hahah on a different note was tinkering around on my beast this arvo after tafe replacing all my tail lights in preparation for when im back on the road and decided to take my spoiler off just to see what it looked like.. i know its a personal thing but what do you guys think?? oh and last weekend i finally took my front bar off just to check a few things after car toys worked on it ages ago (oil cooler) man they did a shit job... i re bolted front bar and oil cooler properly and checked everything over pics below. big oil cooler much? 1.75 inch core
  5. this is seriously the best idea ever!! just make a big cylender cover it with alfoil.. jump inside and u can see through the vent holes... PLUS!! u can blow off everywhere vuuuuuuu tssssssssssssshhuuu
  6. ahh thanks champs yeh ill mount it on some rubber or something.... gets bloody irritating thats all... simple fix leave avcr boost control to off unless extra boost is needed.
  7. hello all about 3 months ago i had a power fc and AVC-R fitted.... diddnt notice till a month or so later because io hardly drive the car that when the avcr is set on either a or b boost it starts to tick once boost pressure gets into the posatives... its a fast tick and is loud enough to hear with the sterio on quietly.... i know its the avcr because when i turn boost a or b to off the doise dissapears.... PLEASE HELP with any ideas on what could be causing this or how i could get rid of this ticking noise..... anyone had the same problem? many thanks in advance jenkies
  8. Kane whack up a pic of your beast with the gtr just for shits and giggles..... oh and interrior shots too! i can vouch for this car and the owner. in the time kane has owned this he's given it nothing but the best.... tyres and servicing. it has been his pride and joy and well maintained. this would make an ideal car for the girlfriend with its 4 doors and hatch or even better a second car for the family that likes a bit of excitement. roomy and immaculate inside and out, practical and man does it sleep e.g. no rice.... just style all round. original vr4 galant engine with air box (no pod) and all black hoses and larger brakes too.... for the person who doesnt want a defect this is also the car for you. ive managed to help kane realise that there is nothing better then the sound of an rb engine and no chassis tougher than a skyline especially when it comes to handling so help his dream come true!
  9. wow thats absolutely stunning.... its like a davinchi
  10. aww man what a pain in the asss looked like a really clean 33 just say ur boot was carbon fiber and your tail lights were led.... oh and u had a really nice after market rear bar.... free upgrades.... the best of luck and yes she is 100% in the wrong so she will be baying for both cars... or her sinsurance will be. jenkies
  11. ive got an idea damo!! sau gathering at urs.. u supply the meat and beer and we'll survice your car and fit ur cooler
  12. aww man lolly pop dudes would hate their job enough as it is.... bet he was standin there grumbling bout work then u splashed him ....... then he woulda been standin there hating his job and hating the fact he was soaked.... thats just cruel lol regular joes are always fair game especially in suits hahahaha we are bad blokes karma...
  13. welcome sam sweet ride!! looks extremely well maintained!
  14. an average basic survice consists of drain oil replace oil filter refil oil blow out air filter or replace...... oil filter 10-15 bucks oil top quality 40-50 bucks do it yourself. its the 100,000 km survice that id get done proffessionally e.g. timing belt sparkplugs etc
  15. now ya dont see that everyday
  16. wow i must say good tactic altho i feel sorry for those that get caught at those sort of speeds.... painfull on the wallet plus the impound means owwie assuming gorge rd adelaide would be next
  17. baaahahaha awesome thread....... back in my hay day (yr11-yr12) we used to go around in my mates hilux surf jacked up with monster bf goodrich all terrain T/A's in winter before school looking for the opertunity...... the tables have turned considering i havnt been driving for the last 12 months... winters just coming up and we've had a few rains.... i keep an eye out and stay a way from those good old puddles when walkin just to make sure..... i recon it would be pretty uncomfortable covered with road water and grime lol
  18. and here i was gutwrenched, sitting in silence thinking about u poor sauwa fellas...... nice work i always like goin from low news to a funny better then the other way around! michael u have too much time on ur hands but top stuff
  19. what happened to kyes car? if you still have it sell it to someone who deserves it and get off these forums..... im sure i can speak on behalf of most of us... weve all been idiots once apon a time but learnt very quickly.... you sir deserve a whack with the ban stick and a piece of reality cake. no wonder the death toll on australian roads is shocking, and no wonder racism is out of control in australia. pull ya head in and respect the roads and other people... u might get a smigen of respect back.... MIGHT
  20. breaks my heart to hear about this... and also worries the shit out of me....... hope it all sorts itself out grim good luck!! hope the 260 has sorted itself out and going strong good luck jenkies
