okie stupid question.. what is a rolling shell?? cheers =)

Hi there once again guys sorry to post here.. Sydneykid's mailbox is full.. ------------------ Hi there Gary.. I just realised that my N/a R34 gt-4 uses eye mounts on the rear struts.. and the GTR one from the group buy that you recommended has inverted fork. Do you have a alternative in the bilstein shocks with eye mount both front n rear? I think others n/a r34 owners would be interested in knowing the alternatives as well cheers mate =)

Engine: RB25DE 2 door Coupe GT-4 92.5kw (on all 4 wheels) @ 5814rpm 831.6Nm @ 4325rpm mods: pipercross panel filter, 2.5" catback exhaust this is going to be my baseline for modding my car, at least I know how much it pulls now.. any suggestion which other mod I should do next? pm me.. don't reply here =)

*bows in gratitude*

any hints on how to do it? =) cheers

Thanks for the reply, just wondering do you know which part of church st? do you know the name of the closest st coming of church st? thanks heaps

Hi there guys, I'm actually looking for a steering wheel cover, leather is kinda slippery when I finish washing my hands.. I only know of a a shop in burwood westfield (sydney) that has it.. anyone can recommend any other car accessories shop as well? I'm also after a good quality small convex mirror too. cheers

I do about 13.5L/100k, the first time I filled up after my sparkies change.. i'm like 14.7L/100k.. no idea why.. I'll keep checking =) it translate to about roughly 380km to 50L of petrol maybe I should change my O2 sensor as well? wonder how much it'll cost.. cheers

hi there just wondering how much did it cost? cheers

it looks interesting mate.. how much did you have to spend to get a supercharger on it? and how the 2 run together? cheers

I actually am looking for info about supercharging a RB engine.. not sure if I'll go that route.. but just looking for more info =) cheers

hey there mate.. yeah there's one.. called R34 GT-4.. that's the one that I'm driving.. I think the GT-X and GT-V are both RWD.. I came across those info when I was searching for more info about GT-4s.. cheers

hey there guy.. just wondering if any of the 'line owners here have a supercharger instead of a turbo? cheers

ado bob.. you drive a R34 GTS? and the back shocks r inverted fork? I drive a R34 GT-4 and the rear shocks r eye.. addicted. what variant of the R34 do u drive? okie..everyone n/a owner.. pls check your rear shocks n post your findings here =) cheers

heythere mate.. I put in the iridium plugs.. but having seen the trouble to get to the plugs.. it's good that iridiums r put in.. no way am i going to change my plugs ever again.. lol cheers

what's CF skin? cheers

Just like the topic..what do the garage actually do to your car (other than putting it on a dyno =P) when u put it in for a dyno tune? do they just find problems or do they try to solve the problems as well cheers

Okie.. today.. went to pick up my car at the spray painter who has to match the front lip I was spraying to my car's colour..after that.. went to put some petrol in.. In the queue.. chatted with this guy about cars, and told him about my problem.. He told me he was a mechanic that worked from home, and told me to let him see that car.. ask him whether he wanted to have a ride in my car to check out the sound.. had to follow him home to drop off his car first.. followed him to his place, dropped off his car, he jumps in and i showed him what the problem sounds like and at what revs it sounds. he told me he has to drive the car to have a feel for what happens when the sound comes out.. he was driving it, said it could be sparks plug, could be i have scum at the bottom of my petrol tank, could be cuz i'm using high octane and my car's sparks plug was old and can't burn it properly (thus resulting in the smell in the car from the aircon when I accelerate harder). could be the air filter not filtering properly, could be car running lean.. popped the bonnet, he was looking around at things.. checking things out.. and found that the place where the air filter joins the engine was as loose as a old hooker at the cross.. he tightened it.. and turned a black knob, which controls how much air enters the engine, to let more air enter the engine.. after that ,about 90% of the sound/problem went away.. now left with only 10% of the problem. the sound only comes up (very shortly) when I go beyond 6 or 7000 rpm (can't remember which) and when it changed from 2nd gear to 1st on deceleration. was told that changing the sparks plug to platinum ones would get rid of it all..and would help me make use of the high octane petrol better.. and thus would get more power out of my engine.. I'm so glad that the problem is solved.. would call tune house tomorrow to cancel my appointment for the dyno diagnostic thing.. attached is the picture of what was loose and what the black knob is located on the engine.. he turned it counter clockwise to let more air in.. circled in red is the black knob.. and circled in blue is the place where the air filter joins the engine (which was a hooker) hope this would help anyone else out there with the same problem cheers

spotted a black r32 gtr .. plates gtr-28 something gave a friendly nod..got one in return =) oh..on victoria road.. near (and heading) to paramatta

marrickville sorry am working now..so type pretty quickly.. lotsa patients tonight.. wonder what they r going to do with the results of the dyno... would that show the torque of my car etc? kw etc? yeah price's pretty steep.. quoted me 320 bucks to fit in tien coilovers.. is that a high price? i mean it's not that hard to change.. what are you guys charged for putting in your new coilovers/suspension can I have the address/tel of this frank's automotive too? cheers

hey mate. yeah i went to the exhaust place today and it's not leaking.. I booked a session with a tuning place in marrickvale on chalder st called tune house, anyone know anything about it? good bad expensive cheap no good etc? hopefully it's just sparks plug and nothing else.. it'll be cheap to fix.. and not other stuff they said they r going to put my car on the dyno n have a look.. cheers

check this thread out =) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=110502

I read on the board that when 4WD light is on..you are running only as a RWD.. if it lightsup constantly.. i have no idea how to fix it.. lol.. it's all in the threads that I've read here on the board.. hmm I have a GT-4.. hopefully my slip led never has to come on.. cheers

the car runs the almost the same, I just think it's not accelerating as fast, the engine sounds the same tho (what I can hear over the din of the exhaust), just that the exhaust sounds VERY weird.. only happens when I step on the accelerator fully.. like totally depressed. Today the sound is still there, a little softer and sounds just when it changes gear (both up and down). any help would be great.. cheers

Hi there guys, tonight as I was doing some spirited driving.. the exhaust started making some VERY weird noise like BOOK BOOK BOOK.. not the usual sound when I step (fully on) the pedal. It's usually loud.. not that I like it.. but this sound is REALLY weird.. I thought some part of it came off and scrapped the road.. it's was a deep to mid tone book book boook (irregular spaced out sound)..kinda scraping sort of sound too.. question. do I take it to a car mechanic to get the engine checked out..or the exhaust shop to check it out? not sure whether it's a exhaust or engine problem.. cheers
