Yeah cowboy is right. Pricea of a lot of stuff has gone up, but a lot of stuff has dropped, especially electronics. If everything was so expensive and it was so hard to make ends meet then how are so many people able to buy big screen tvs, new cars, nice houses? sure it might be a touch harder for low income earners to get by, but not that much.

don't suppose you might've mixed up the wires when wiring up the AFM?

as above. the belt is too loose

sadly society is doing it's best to prevent natural selection.

basically they say it's a capacitor that supplies extra charge to the electrical system, taking strain off the alternator. unless you have a dynamo off a pushbike in the place of your alternator, and a few AA batteries in the place of your car battery, i doubt you will see any difference in fuel economy.

yeah as shaun said, she can see the inner beauty..... of his wallet

nope, totally wrong. i found some stuff on the net about them. have a read/laugh for yourself

that's what my bookmark is and i have to hit refresh after the page loads to get it to go to the mobile version

and fanbois got friction burns from fapping

ok can i just point out a major flaw in your plan? you are putting a r32 turbo on with the plan of quicker spool, and while that is the case, it will also mean that it runs out of puff extremely quickly, and will most likely blow quickly too from the extra heat generated. a little fact for you, a turbo r33 with the stock turbo will make full boost by well under 3000rpm. i was running 14psi on the stock turbo in my 33 and it would make full boost by about 2700rpm, so if that same turbo was bolted to natro 25 then it would make full boost by under 2500rpm at a guess (other people who have done the conversion could give a more accurate figure). also the stock r33 actuator is only 5psi. the r33 uses a solenoid to take it up to 7psi and is only triggered at 4500rpm (although most people ground it so it runs 7psi all the time). and i think a lot of people who do turbo conversions also do the brake upgrade. finally, have you considered a LSD diff upgrade? or does your car already have a LSD? oh and swapping injectors isn't that hard. sorting the oil lines will be the hardest part.

i highly doubt the GTR box would bolt straight up the the engine. at bare minimum you would need a custom bell housing.

surely they will get to a point where the time/performance gained by closer ratio gears will be lost by the time spent changing gears

yeah they are close enough to get a rough idea

this baaaaaaaahahahahaha surely it's time to wake up and realise that it's no longer the early 90's and move on like the rest of the world..............

check what the excess is in the event of a crash. some companies will have lower premiums, but if you crash you pay a large excess.

i know how it works. you use less fuel because your wallet is lighter, as well as the fact that your brain has obviously fallen out too

must be something with either the android browser or the site (or both) not recognising there is a mobile version when it first loads.

the sunshine coast (mooloolabah, alex heads. maroochydore and all the way up to noosa) is a good place to go. great beaches, great weather (most of the time) and plenty of things to look at (including the locals). just watch out when you head through gympie. can't trust them shady f**kers.........

http://forum.pulsar.org.au i'm a member on there (but don't go on there much). as for the n16 pulsar, they are just as reliable as the corollas, etc you are looking at. my mother has a 2000 model corolla and i don't like it. it drives ok (lots of body roll compared to the missus SSS though), runs fine, hasn't had any issues (she's had it since new and it now has about 170,000kms on it), but it's just not my cup of tea. the n16 won't be much different to the others you are looking at. will feel like a small car, decent amount of go, even the autos. my sister has an auto 2006 corolla and it goes pretty well. the auto in the n14 pulsar i had was crap, but it was only the 1.6L (gear ratios were too far apart for a gutless engine). the nissan is the cheapest to buy out of your list because they are the least popular. the corollas are the best selling small car, so they are somewhat sought after in the second hand market as well. usually a car that sells in big numbers means lower resale (such as commodore/falcon), but with the reliability/reputation of them, they hold their value pretty well.

which model/engine? followed my father in law's boss the other day. he has a late model F250. he had the car trailer on the back with a '53 F100 on it. we were in a 90 zone, going up a hill (a few hundred metres long) and on the steepest bit he only dropped to about 85kmh. he was back up to 90kmh not long after the steepest bit though. i was pretty impressed, given that my commodore sometimes drops back to 3rd going up there and it didn't sound like he had his foot to the floor.

have you checked for fault codes yet? if not then do that first. and if you have a dodgy coil pack, since you have an r34, you should get the check engine light coming on.

like mitsubishi (different part of mitsubishi than what makes the cars. same parent company though). lots of car companies have mitsubishi parts in them.

a 140-150kw would make an ordinary daily driver. a stock or mildly modded turbo skyline would be a better daily driver.

it was an r33 GTR, and it would've been somewhat stock, as that is what the regulations required. i think you could make changes to exhausts, suspension and tyres, but that was about it. possibly ecu, but the motor had to be stock.as for the GTR itself, yes nissan did a good job of engineering it. they basically read the group A rule book front to back, then made a car that pushed the limit of every rule, even down to what size engine they used altering what size tyres they could run. this is why the GTR cost about 100k to buy, when the top model HSV cost about half that. nissan didn't really care if they didn't sell that many (which was the case with the ADM GTRs). they just wanted to win races. which they are entilted to do if they want. then coupled with a race team that was spending much more money than the other teams, and pretty crappy parity, had the GTR not one then there would've been something wrong. put simply, if group A was a majory category these days, with the level of parity that all other major categories have, the GTR wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as it was back then.
