bozodos

don't bother.

haha cheers, yeah think I'll be getting a mate to do that and the 100k service, as he's done 5 or 6 of em before and I could see myself doing something wrong there lol. Bit of a price difference, like when i got a Y60 Patrol clutch master rather than a R32 one (same part) saved a bit of money and transport time there!

People probably got sick of pouring shitloads of money into cars which weren't of any practical use at all, and which you wouldn't dare drive on the street for fear of stone chips or getting one of your 20 LCD tvs dirty.

3.45 is still a lot better than the 3.08 before it lol.

I thought that the Castrol Edge is a hydrocrack mineral oil type synthetic, making it a Group 3 and the Motul 300v and Mobil 1 are a Group V poly ester man made oil? The oil thread has more info than you'd ever care about. All I know is that my car seemed to run better on Motul 8100 Xcess 5w40 which is a Group 4 oil than the Castrol EDGE 5w30.

Well I finally get my repaired 360 to work yesterday, then find that the wired controller which I bought brand new on Ebay and tested fine on my PC either wants to sit there with 4 green lights flashing, or occasionally two. Anyone got any ideas on what to do? (other than replace it)

I remember downloading the ADF pack (no idea if it was yours or not back in the day, and did it come with a modified Steyr AUG?), as well as about 312986264 addons / campaigns / missions for OFP and even made my own until I got hooked on Xbox/PS2. I loved the really in depth addons like the mines pack and the Vietnam pack (which I went to the trouble of setting up labouriously to play twice). Just played ArmA and a lot of it feels reassuringly familiar, but the helicopters are a bastard to fly, and even after downloading nearly a gig of patches there are still bugs here and there. Its not bad in itself, and having played it I do see where you're coming from about the texture modelling DivHunter, though at least the environment and effects are up to par with the unit and weapon detail.

I'd love to play C&C 3 - the single player is truly awesome and is the result of them paring back all the annoying and useless things about C&C games and making it into the ultimate (apart from Total Annhiliation) RTS experience. I'd go for a game of CS too, but I can't get Steam to work on either of my computers.

Everyone I know with a PS3 has also bought a stand alone blu-ray player lol. IMO Blu Ray is overrated anyway. the whole DLC thing is a pretty compelling facto in itself

just changed my plan, not bad considering all of the test servers are in fact >300 miles!

Well P platers can't drive turbos now and nobody wants autos. I had this problem when I sold my VN SS, it was auto and a v8, I sold it for $3600 which at the time seemed like eff all, but I look now and see much better ones going for around the same money.

im so over these threads. Get a GQ Patrol, RB30S and look down on the girly girls with their fuel injection rubbish or a mini moke.

$4k compliance to start with, plus restrictions on the types of cars and models which can be imported which also means there are less of them basically. R33's are worth stuff all here now too due to market saturation of that model

also not worth doing over a turbo setup.

repost of an FI thread. For silvertop its not that much of a drama, R31 Skyline Club has most of the answers about both conversions actually, because thats where most HR owners hang out

Haha I'll let you get away with it on that technicality terry Yeah pretty sure they are worth a mint, there's 2 Series 1 Group A's hiding around here actually, 1 seems to be a daily thrasher for some bogan moron, its always filthy and parked in the street. I was gonna offer the owner 5k for it once lol. A 'Walkinshaw' is the Asteroid Silver series 2 with the aerodynamic bodykit and the fuel injected, twin throttle 5 litre, series 1 was carburetted and had a different bodykit (was also produced by HDT with Brock at the reins, Series 2 was made by the new HSV team under Tom Walkinshaw).

Also depends on the cost of parts, cause as most people know, R33's aren't worth much these days

I've driven a 6 speed, before and after LS1Edit and it felt gutless at low RPM like a turbo car, especially after hopping out of the 5 litre I owned at the time, the owner even admitted mine felt 'faster' on the street lol. I found that the LS1 felt like it was labouring around town, unless you were holding 2nd or 3rd gears.

a lot more than what it's worth

your blatant Americanism displeases my OCD I'm going to be different and suggest an XU-1 Torana or Valiant Charger (Triple carb 265 variant)

Pretty much. ill make this brief cause this topic keeps coming up; basically no turbos, superchargers or V8s on P's. Non turbo imports are generally (with some exceptions) slow as a dog with no legs, and usually have shit options compared to the turbo versions. Get a new Honda Civic or something like that, or if you can't live without a Nissan an Aussie R31. You're also not allowed to have hi-po 6's like BMW M3, Porsches etc.\ There needs to be a sticky or something about P Plate laws and recommended cars. BTW Terry, why do you spell mum mom?

If that is true about OFP having better vehicle control I will be disappoint. BTW are you referring to say Ballistic Studios addons for OFP and stuff like the Finnish Defence Forces mod that were very high quality for the time and the game engine? Get my copy of Arma finally this week anyway so I'll see for myself

LS1's rev out like a turbo car, they don't really get up and going til ~3.5k rpm. Holden 5 litre 'feels' more like a V8 fyi

I'd been told that if there was some coolant already in there, then using plain old water wouldn't adversely affect it for a top up? I was hesitant to do that to mine for fear that it would corrode the insides of the radiator.

can't you use normal tap water to put into your radiator?
