what does the "V" stand for in V6?
Dragon18 replied to playa's topic in General Automotive Discussion
i actually thought was told herd some where iam not sure =) That V6's made less polution than inline or flat i dont know if this is right or not iam proberly wrong =) -
from what i know of this is in melb roll cages are legal to a certain extent but jap spec ones are not legal preety sure alot of jop ones bolt onto the floor the australian standard ones actually connect through the dash into the firewall and are a certain size 40mm thick or somthing while jap ones are 30mm thick. no one is stoping you from putting one in if its a jap spec one but if you want legal one for racing etc. it will cost ya baout a 1 k to get one made and fitted. but if its for normal driving dont worry about it and if you really want one there are heapz of second hand jap spec ones around =) Cheers

well ill tell ya about my story i imported my car 5 moths ago with my importer it was a whole headache and in the end i didnt even get the car. iam waiting for the money that he ows me 6 k to be exact in the end i bought a car locally with afew less mods. yes you can get cars with more mods in japan thats the only reason why i went for an import but i got stuffed around alot and thats why i dont really reconmend it dont get me wrong there are alot of good importers out there and i would gladly reconmend some to you but i dont belive it is worth importing a car with the new sev scheme if you want somthing with afew mods if you want a bog stock one yea go for it thats my two cents =)

Hay guys i just bougt my car got system installed today =) very happy its abit of extra weight and i think i can feel it alittle =) but i guess thats what happends =) well here is my consern when i brake on the right hand side front wheel it sorta makes this scraping noise not hard just like kuurrrrr and it happens somtimes and somtimes it dosnt. this happend really bad in my other car but the break was actually worn to the metal in one part so iam not sure stressing out abit the noise only happens sometimes then comes back and then goes away at other times. on the rwc it says 80% the break pads but iam not sure could it be abs. i know forsure its only on the front right wheel? any suggestions? =) also are the breaks hard to change on the 180sx and how much am i looking at spending for a normal decent pair of breaks =) Thanks guys =)
