  1. lol....carlo owned on daylight savings.....thats gotta hurt good day guys for the 30 or so minutes that i was there anyways!!!
  2. oh .... ok. how :gay:
  3. as i said, these posts are pretty pointless without a list of modifications...
  4. i bought an orbital buffer the other week and have been going a little crazy myself in the detailing department. just learning the in's and out's of polishing and buffing but im in good hands from a mate that knows it all i'll be getting into the claybar, scratchX and gold class wax soon enough, im just doing the scratch & swirl remover treatment at the moment and its doing wonders.....and as for the orbital buffer ----> awesome
  5. i can't help on your original question karen, but i will air my preferences BNR32 - Black, White or Silver BNR33 - White BNR34 - Bayside Blue carry on...
  6. con at c&v is o.k at tuning the powerfc, for a cheap and nasty tune id go there again. the hitman did my 3rd tune, had some comments on c&v's work but was overall O.K with it....i was very happy after matt's effort i only asked him to clean up cruise and top end, which he did, now i've gotta get him back to do bottom and mid range as my check engine light comes on too frequently for my liking. i've had 3 tunes and spent about 700 bucks....should i have saved the bucks and did it all at crd? probably not, i think there are tuners out there, like matt, who can do just a good a job for atleast half the price. con is getting better at the powerfc.
  7. i notice plenty of difference when switching between BP, Opticrap and 8000, usually on my knock meter on my PowerFC hand controller. im strictly a man....
  8. my paint code is "EV1" if thats any help, that lightning yellow by the way :P so comparing this to "Y3G" .... 2 alpha characters and a numeric....its consistent !!! paint code should be on the firewall build plate. mine was written mid way down, centre...
  9. im young, 27, thats young :P im insured with the NRMA for the sum of $35k. premium is $2.5k with a $300 excess. this is under my work company's fleet policy and Quicktrak was compulsary. so you're on a good deal.....
  10. arent you yanks into putting clear lights on honda civics and preludes and stuff??????
  11. skylines are cheap because they are about as common as f100's in america... they are cheap in australia because we dont have motorex and all the bullshit that is required to change it from RHD to LHD.
  12. i wouldnt think a plastic exhaust impeller would last very long...
  13. hahah adam, you were sooo smooth and calm about it all aswell - i didnt really get anxious until i looked out the passenger window and saw headlights you should do very well at any track from what i can tell
  14. hey! what a cool night out!!! great weather, great food, great company, so cheap! just wish i could sink some more full strength beers next time! had heaps of fun dunc, thanks for turning up you piker :)
  15. my car looks like a piece of shit at the moment nothing to write home to mum about thats for sure!!! sideskirts and rear pods are off, but, they'll be back on this saturday - should scrub up a little better my turbo doesnt start whining until it hits 0.8 or so bar repeatedly :Paranoid: under normal driving conditions its fine...if yours is whining continuously on stock boost, then i suspect a dying turbo - good excuse to upgrade
  16. wouldnt be worthwhile putting a GTR turbo on as they have a T2 flange and the RB25 needs a T3 flange (it could be the other way around) - so an adaptor plate needs to be made up. best upgrade for the RB25 in regards to a bolt-on turbo, with an internal wastegate, would be HKS 2530, 2535 or 2540. abo bob, are you coming to dinner tonite? higher boost, 0.8bar and daily driven? im starting to find that the turbo won't even hold 0.9bar!!! 0.8bar with regular squirts and the turbo starts to whine like it has a leeking gasket somewhere. i almost think its the compressor or exhaust blade touching the housing :) as for fuel pump, im on 200rwkw using stock fuel pump and injectors and i havent even maxed my injectors yet (according to powerfc). i'll be close though if i can run 1.0bar...
  17. off topic, but to hawks --->>> GO KINGS!!!!! :)
  18. apparenty the largest bolt on injectors you can put into them are 550cc from nismo...but im really unsure about this. also, the turbo sux ass. it might spool up quick, but as soon as you run higher boost through it, it starts to whinge - you might even lose your exhaust wheel to your catalytic convertor. the other gripe i have is the stupid climate control display, in sunlight you cant see a friggin thing because of the glare! but i think this is a generic skyline problem...
  19. this is still on for tonite right guys??? better be because i've already got my pass approved.. should i bring some "other" dvd's too??? hihihhihihii
  20. nah thats cool, you can keep it up... i just think it sticks out like a sore thumb as the rest of the thread has gone way off topic
  21. ouch....well your up for about 1g for a HID kit i think? you could always get the raybrig type super white lights...
  22. oooh, such a bold statement!!!
  23. really up to you, whats your preference of driving style as i think the r33 and a 200sx have vastly different characteristics... whats the insurance on a r33 gtst and a 200sx?
  24. ...i hate it when you pull a car length and a half on someone and they pull up next to you and say "...i've only got an exhaust, running on stock boost mate..." so farken wot! you still got owned and a car length is quite a shitload especially only through 1st, 2nd and maybe abit of 3rd...
  25. hks type s i/c kit for sale... http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/show...?threadid=32940
