Need a 2nd hand front mount to suit a 33 gtst. Got all the pipes, just need the cooler...preferably somewhere in melbourne..i'll limp my car to come pick it up! Name your price... email me: o2andoctane@yahoo.com.au Cheers

So you're not selling it?

Yo I'll meet your quote. How much to post to Melbourne?

Actually you can't. No amount of begging is gonna bring it back. Don't bother

There is no one answer to this question. Ideally you want to run a tyre pressure that balances the car and feels good when you drive it. Typically tyres heat up and expand when you drive, so if you stand on the throttle at every set of lights i'd expect the rear tyres to heat up a little bit, however its mostly the front tyres that heat up more than the rears because you have the load of the car thrown forward under braking and also the fronts are constantly working harder that the rears because the turn and slide (if only slightly). Also this is in theory what could happen, in reality it doesn't make a difference when you're stuck behind a bus. Secondly, with a gtr, I personally think you should run all four tyres with the same pressure because otherwise it may trick the g sensor into thinking you've got wheelspin.

I'm just curious what factory options were available back in the day? For instance, my 1994 r33 gtst has a front mount intercooler and I have no idea what brand it is and where it came from. The guy I bought the car off had it imported with it. Is there any chance it came from the factory? I also have impul bucket seats. I know impul are associated with a lot of nissan cars, any chance these came from the factory? The reason I ask is I want to put on a Apexi pod and it's apparently illegal to modify two cold air intakes in Victoria because it raises exhaust emissions (can somebody verify this?). But if the cooler came as an optional extra i could argue, should it ever arise, that I have only modified one intake (as the cooler would be stock). Any advice would be appreciated

'service' on e46 m3 @ bmw is about 3k

Take it to a mechanic instead of throwing parts and money at it

gts-t btw...

I am thinking about selling my car. What price would be fair and how long roughly would it take to sell? Few details.. - Series 1 33 from Jan 94 - Black - 86000 - Imported 18 months ago - Have all the import papers - 2nd ownder in Aus - 18 inch wheels - impul fron seats - fmic and 3 inch cat back - alpine/sony sound etc. nothin special Just some feedback would be good Cheers

the roof light has always been intermittent and now the other lights go out when i open the drivers door. weird. if i open the passenger door the roof light comes on as normal but not when the drivers door is open. i took out the globes and put leds in everywhere and when they're all on with the doors closed they dim as if they're wired up in series...which is weird cos i know they're not. i know a fuse isnt broken cos at one time or another i can get them to work. but its very intermittent. i took the leds out and put the globes back in and they no longer work. i dunno, i want it to be all automated

hey don't crucify me for not putting this topic in car audio section, i didnt want to as the regulars in those forums can try and be heroes from time to time. anyway, has anybody got a circuit diagram for the interior lighting in a 33, or any skyline? are the reading lights (above the rearview mirror and roof light on the same circuit? any help would be appreciated

I've had enough of my current job draining my life and want a change. Ideally I want to start an apprenticeship to be a technician but I'm 23 and have no idea where to start looking. Is my age a drama and should I even bother? Any advice from people in the industry would be great

Yeah that was me on southland roof last week i bet. At work unfortunately

how much is the fine for the boost tap? anybody know?

does anybody know why the Oz superturismo wheel wont fit an r33 skyline in 17''? only 18's im told, which are more expensive an maybe heavier? my mate has a set of 17'' sparco's and they look great on his car. also, enkei gtc01 come in 17's for the 33. anybody had any experience with this wheel on the street? not track

lol

ECR33022759 ? cheers in advance

just a quick thumbs up for this controller. put one on all my mates cars as well as mine and they're fantastic value

speakers sound like they're hooked up out of phase

hey guys looking for door trims for an r33(dunno if there is a difference between s1, s2, gtr etc) PM me if interested in selling

yo that was me

And nor would I ever work for a person of such ignorance. Senior executive position? Then how do you find the time to be so unprofessional and abusive toward the op of this thread? Perhaps a hobby wouldn't go astray It's a great shame that people like you are in a position of prominence, no wonder its a dying trade. Anyway mate, don't reply because I and many others I'm sure couldn't care what you have to say. Cheers

Mate, clearly you have a very very closed minded view of the world. To assume that all or most graduates of this TAFE course are, as you hinted in your rant, useless demonstrates this. Let me just say I've been to TAFE, university and worked in the industry and it was at TAFE i learnt how to: hook up a relay, interpret engineering drawings, calculate the ohmic rating of a resistor, diagnose faults in electronic components, fabrication of all types of vehicles, design etc. The TAFE course is not rubbish, it is a start in the industry. It is down to the individual as to what they seek to get out of it. And to all the guys who have come on here and said they'd never employ anybody who has passed this course....who cares

Also to the guy that talked about VACC. It might surprise you to know that hardly any car audio shops, even the major chains have any affiliation or approval from VACC. I have also never heard of an australian apprentice system for a car audio installer as there is no formal qualification for it. There is a TAFE course, but a primary school child could pass it. Of those who have passed it not all are good installers. An electronic technician may also be good at circuit boards, but most of them are useless at installs. Or at least that has been my experience. No, that doesn't surprise me at all. But from what I know, the VACC recommends all install work is carried out by a technician of some sort. and what happens when a bad connection burns something down? insurance void. FACT As far as you saying a primary school student could pass the TAFE course; how would you know? have you completed the course yourself? most TAFE training schemes are great and give hands on experience, the particular course you are referring to ensures students undertake work place training to learn the trade so please don't say "of those who have passed it not all are good installers". don't pass judgement unless you know.
