B-Man

Thanks BY BY, didn't mean to sound impatient dude !! You're a legend for organising this. Cheers, BF

Is UAS the same as Hills or are they just in the same complex - I work round the corner from UAS...... better go have a look hey ????

Where abouts in Castle Hill are 'Hills' I can't find them in the phone book ! BF

Depends on what colour the car is that it is going on - I woudn't put a yellow & black on on a silver car.......for example. Here's another I've been thinking of - TUF1M8 - I shouldn't give away all my good ideas - hey !!! BF

Hype, don't wanna hijack your thread - but was wondering what ppl thought of SKYLYN - as a plate - is it too much like lyn as in the name - or would ppl get it ???? BF

GET HYPE !!!

I'll have to see what my car has on it , when it gets in from Japan - But if it is only a cat back system (pretty sure it is) Then I'm definitely in for this. How's the progress ?? My car will be ready mid to late Aug. BF

Suggest take front wheels off and have a look. Could be a pad slipping around - maybe the pad spring came off? Could be callipers - check that your caliper bolts are tight. Might be wheel bearings, streering arms,steering/suspension bushes. Come to think of it, if you can't see it, take it to a specialist...... BF

Sounds like you guys had a blast ...... Hey - make sure the next one is organised after the End of August . 'cause then I will have my Skyline !! BF

Hopefully, I can fix before the car arrives - Will be moving heaven and earth to make it happen - I work in Castle Hill - So maybe Hills is the go - Have been looking at UAS, but yeah,,,, Cheers dude, So dump pipe is like a BIG exhaust manifold ??? Like headers ??? Am i on the right track ??? Lets gas out quicker than standard ???/ BF

I want one of everything - Spesh the wacky tobaccy !!! (Haven't done that for a while) BF

OK guys - that's really good feedback - i can see merit in FMIC and boost contoller straight up. Gives colder (more dense) air and more boost (without detination right ??) Then ECU 'cause factory one is Shiet. I wanna know what dump pipe is, and what is the benefit ?? Then, bigger turbo (makes sense - more O2) After that you need more fuel right - ECU can only do so much so injectors need to be bigger right ?? Has anyone done a short shifter mod ?? Don't know how much benefit on the 1/4 it would be, but sounds like FUN. PRANK - is there a local shop to Nth Beaches ??? Where do you go ?? OH - BTW - U F'd up my compliance papers to Canberra - sent copies instead of originals - LET IT BE KNOWN -they only accept originals - Have to make up the StfUp by lot of Canberra brown nosing. Hopefull I will have BEAST on the road by late AUG. Cheers All. BF

Hey - It's only money !! Hapiness is the key here !!! BF

Damn, I wish I had my Skyline ..........

Oh yeah - Couldn't you up the boost a little to get more rwkw - since you have a big FMIC and all !!! BF

Love your work Prank ! Were did you get the FMIC done ?? Nice job dude !! BF

Well- Semi legal mod......NOS is not on my list ...... No harm in planning mods now - you never know what will happen in the future -

Hey Guys, My R33 will arrive Mid August - Now I am planning my first mod - Wanted to get feedback / input from the forum: The car comes from Japan with: Cat back exhaust Pod AFC Turbo Timer Suspension Wheels & Tyres What the first mod I should do to her ?? ie Biggest bang for my $$$ FMIC ?? Cat forward manifold/exhaust ?? CPU ?? Boost Contoller ?? Strut Braces ?? Cold Air I ? PS - WTF does an AFC do ? I know what it does theoretically , but don't understand the benefit ??

Just got shipping schedule from Japan - Leaves Osaka End of July - Arrives Sydney Mid August On the road - Beginning Sept !! Oly 55 Sleeps to go !! BF

Name : Brendan (der) Age : VOB (Very Old Bastard) - 34 Skyline owner proper now - Silver R33 GTS-t - Northern Beaches Waiting for the ship from Japan to arrive...........

I'm hoping my experience will be quicker - Because I am not going thru a dealer. Essentially I am in control of things - I know all the paper work that has to go to Canberra has been done and is correct - I know they have it becasue I sent it Express post on Monday. The people on Japan tell me the car is in the line, ready to go on the ship - should have schedule any day now. So I am pretty confident that I'm only 6-8 weeks away. The compliance house has been lined up, I have all the paperwork from them. I know the turnaround times and what work is to be done. It's been a very interesting project so far - and if all goes to my expectations , I wouldn't hesitate in doing it again. The key is to take control of as much as possible and not leave it to someone you don't know or trust. So guys, what should my first upgrade be ??? Cat back exhaust is done, suspension done, pod done, wheels done, turbo timer and AFC are done. ?????? Maybe I should partake in the tubo back manifold and hiflow cat tha the group is organising ??? BF

How much C42K ????? He he Well, we will have to start the Northern Beaches Skyline Club then lads ?? Anyone know who owns the clean R32 (Gunmetal) with HUGE FMIC ??? Saw it driving on Mona Vale Rd the other day (early). Can't wait to get into my Skyline - It's gonna test my patiece really...... How long did others have to wait ?? My broker says 4-5 weeks. Cheers, BF

Thanks for the good mail on tyres people - The Dunlops sound like the go !

Wondering what people have to say about 17" tyres for Skylines ?? (for normal street use) Which Brand ? Which type/model ? What profile ? How Wide ? What cost ? How long they last (typically) Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy ? Cheers, BF

Right - Silver Whales.... No idea on the wheels - they look alright though. Happy about that !!
