  1. I PMed him about location a couple of days ago but haven't got a reply. I want the wing if its in SYDNEY
  2. I cannot do J turns with ABS pluged in in my 33, I may just be crap but my old MR2 (AW11 non ABS) loved them. And I like the felling of gassing it to the entry of a corner and then mashing the brakes without fear of my crapness flat spoting my $500 tyres which acording to my budget must last 1 year.
  3. Sarcasm, I like sarcasm. G,day mate, sorry for the lack of replies, pop in on any of our events for a look see, you dont need a skyline to be here, although it does make you more hip if you do, lots of events coming up next year from track days to motakhanas (TEXI) in which you can use the daily for some fun (throw the better half in the daily and take her for a blast). Bring the family along for some LOLs at Texi as its a ball for all ages and there are other women and kids to keep the flock happy whilst you check out the skids. Hope the toyota project is coming along well, I know its hard as Im in the same boat with a missus a EX and 3 kids that eat into my car budget, but bit by bit it eventually comes together. Mark.
  4. If money was no object I would go one of these, my choice is -#3. 2010 Dodge Viper (600 hp) http://www.autobytel.com/content/research/top10/index.cfm/action/highhorsepower/page/3/listtype/9/vehicleclass/sprt The skids would be epic On a serious note what have you got planned for the car, drag-circuit-dyno queen or just a streeter, only reason Im asking is a 2.6-3 ltr making that much power would be quite the lag monster unless you dont plan on letting it get below 5000 rpm, I would assume, if its a streeter with rego.
  5. Also watch out for water that gets into the valley where the coils are as the plugs will rust and the moisture will work its way into the boots and cause a missfire, it happened to me.
  6. You will need to join SAU NSW branch of all things awsome.
  7. Raising the rear of the bonnet will vent hot air when you are stopped, BUT, when you are driving it is a high pressure zone which will cause the engine compartment to pressurise which will affect the cooling as the air going through the radiator will have trouble passing through. Read this link for what Im talking about..... http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_2162/article.html
  8. My engineering cert cost $990, best money I ever spent, covered everything which is not stock, which is nearly everything. Only had to fix a few things like remove turbo timer, plumb in catch can.
  9. The pod will suck hot air from the engine bay which wont help at all, box in your pod with a cold air intake (CAI) or replace the standard air box and use a good filter, if the stock air box doesnt have a CAI then modify so it does or find a replacement one that does. The wreckers are your friend with 11ty million different air boxs which would suit your NA. http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_0073/article.html http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_110281/article.html
  10. FYI @15lb 2.5 cat is holding it back, with a better sized exhaust it should hold the torque better Ive been told, 3.5 inch from dump back will be coming over the next few days. Thanks for all the info guys.

  12. Needs more RWD boats IMO. GTRs are OK I suppose.
  13. Im not sure if its the same story but I swapped out my whole rear cradle for a GTR one, mines a R33 GTS-T though. Much better hook up, no more open wheeling, and the axles/half shafts are bigger as well. The whole swap cost less than a new aftermarket center. Mark PS RWDFTW
  14. Must be in Sydney. Only need wing but will concider boot lid as well if price is right. Prefer silver but any color will do. Please PM me.
  15. New $50.00, Bargain Happy NSW members price = 1 x 6 pack of JB & Cola Pick up only
  16. Have paid, do want, well at least I wants before 01/01/11, Ive got it on good authority that the world ends on 01/01/11 and it would be nice to go out with a bang knowing that Im organised.
  17. Great night guys and girls, Now we all know why he is called "Gentleman" Jim Richards http://www.facebook....gid=37362666227 And as you can see from the photo we had to advert or eyes or be blinded by pure awsomeness
  18. Ive never had problems with the law, that was a typical uneducated assumption matey, unfortunally Ive spent more time expaining my actions than I care to admit, but, I have accepted my punishment which has been deamed fitting, learned from it and moved on. I hope you never have someone take the life of someone you love and get off scott free because of some loop hole in the law. Doing wrong is doing wrong, accept what youve done, take your punishment like a adult and learn from it, you will be a better person. Also forgive my spelling, Ive never been big on that side of things.
  19. LOL, yeah aint that the truth, My car will be tuned at Unigroup and I trust them with it, they got my motor built with me telling them that I want a strong motor that can handle some abuse so they used lots of good bits and peices like a big sump with flappy things and huge drains from the head and other magical bits and peices for oily stuff, its got coolers and others bits and peices for safety. Im just looking for ideas on things to talk to hem about so we are on the same page, the car will only be used for super sprints so a max of about 3-4 laps so Im hoping that I shouldnt have to many problems with heat and such. Also this is why Ive posted in motorsport as appossed to forced induction as I fell that the brain cells are slightly more active here.
  20. And they should pay for their mistakes, but people dont want to do this because there is someone in their ear saying "I can get you off this because I know how the legal system works, and now you dont have to pay for your mistakes, and your the victom of a injust legal system". Saying that rubbish about the more police and bigger jails is a cop out that always get vomited out. With less idiots making stupid mistakes on the road we would need less police-less hospital beds-less grave diggers. Face it, its easier for them to not accept responceability for their actions than to accept them. But then thats why we have lawyers, mostly.
  21. Okaly doakaly, Ill tell them that I want it tuned safe for good torque and not to worry about high HP, from what I understand once the torque starts to drop there is no point trying to wring its neck for more HP as I should be changing gear before the torque drops anyway, but if the torque doesnt drop the boost will go up to a safe reasonable level until it does,keeping in mind injectors and the turbo becoming non efficient. What the internets have told me; Torque drops=shift just before drop. Torque stays flat=shift at rev limit which I think will be set at 7000rpm Torque eases off=shift so next gear is at a higher or same torque level I wonder what mine will do ? Also I may have to look at a better (correct size) and more efficient turbo down the track. Car goes in on the 20 Dec for the tune so once its done Ill throw up a readout. Thanks again guys
  22. Do the crime-Do the time. Im sick of people being caught doing wrong and then finding a loop hole and getting out of it. Excusses are like arseholes, everyone got one, I dont care if you cannot get to work, or there is no public transport, its time people take responceability for their actions and not run crying like spoilt little children. Dont like my opinions, then talk to people who have had their familys/children killed by scum who thought they were fine to drive or that speeding through a school zone is no big thing.
  23. Nice work guys, Im old and grumpy but after only 3 Scotchs I think Ive got it sorted, do like my previous post thingie, and finally found the PM thingie also. My only problem is the bright screen but youve already stated that there will be new screen things soon anyways. Love your work, give your self a EKO.... Mark (whats a format) Robinson
