  1. but the rev is much higher ... and u waste petrol??
  2. i still don't get it ... i'll just leave the overdrive on all the time ..
  3. but i still dont' see why people would want to drive with it off .. i mean the revs are much higher ... maybe about 600rpm or something like that which is really noticeable ... which means you could stay at the same speed at a lower rev and therefore be more feul efficent ... so why the recommendation to drive with it on around town?? i only ever turn it off if i want to go a bit faster.
  4. is it for an accident .. like panel damage or just fixing up a few things here and there??
  5. why wouldnt' u use it around town??
  6. why would autos use less feul?? i get 450ks a tank on normal premium
  7. i got 33gtst, i was racing with a friends 180 .. it has similar mods, pod, exhaust and he also had afm which i don't ... he is running .8 bar which is standard for a 180, thats 11psi?? theres something wrong with my boost ... mechanic said theres a leak somewhere and its only at 6 psi ... now what i'm wondering is how much more power would i get if i fixed it and set it to 8 psi?? he beat me by a couple of car lengths, i tried to beat him a couple of times but its too slow ... could i beat him if i fixed my boost problem?? or rather .. how much more power can i expect from an extra 2 or 3 psi??
  8. i wonder what the ratio of autos and manual of imports are that come into australia??
  9. i'm still looking around .. i can get 170 for a brand new one .. dont' know the brand .. its through a friend ... thanks for your offer shannon ... i think i've been to that place clint ... but i will have a look cause there might be a couple around that area .. thanks for your help
  10. nothing wrong with second hand jap exhaust ... but some people think that aussie stuff is as good or better ... your choice
  11. i will ask him again ... we're in adelaide so i can only speak for this particular nissan dealer ... i've no experience myself so this is all i can say ...
  12. i have a friend who took his 180 to a nissan dealer ... he said they were shit house and did not know what they were doing ... he said they probably know lots about the cars they sell here ... but they knew nothing about his 180 .. he never took his car back to the dealer again!! go to a performance car specialist i say if u dont' want to do the service yourself.
  13. can i take that as a yes??
  14. so to get the most power u would turn both the overdrive off and the power on??
  15. omg its a dead even 50 percent!!!! this is going to be close
  16. anyone??
  17. 225/50/r16 stock rims
  18. just wondering if any of u guys/gals know where i can get second hand tyres from in adelaide?? i know of a place in wingfield and the city auto dismantlers in geppscross ... does anyone know where else i can get cheap tyres??
  19. i've only been to one place ... does anyone know any places in adelaide??
  20. i still don't know if i can make it ... hope i can .. shit didn't make it .. how was it??
  21. i need new front tyres and a friend suggested that i get second hand ones ... what are your opinions on this?? will it affect the ride much if i get tyres with a slightly different amount off tread on them ... say 10-20% difference?? does it affect the handling much... i went to check out some second hand ones ... i'm not too keen on getting them ... but i would save a bit over 50 percent on the price of new ones ... what do u think?? second hand tyres had about 70-80% tread left i think...
