  1. its true .. car stuff is hell expensive and if u can save a bit of course u will .. why pay 700 bucks or whatever for a safc when u can get it same condition for almost half the price, i always take the risk, u just gotta do ur research and be wary ... i've gotten so much stuff from overseas now and thats not just car stuff .. u'll be amazed at the amount of money u save ..!! theres a risk of things not goin as planned but its a risk i am glad to take.
  2. actually it would be pretty simple .. u would need the following depending on how sophisticated u wanna be and how much time u wanna waste ... u need an electrical boost detector, pressure sensor .. i'm not sure how they work but i would assume they convert pressure sensed into a voltage, then its simple ... just do some tests to calibrate a particular voltage to pressure and then use a micro controller which u could also use as a boost controller ... buy an LCD screen ... one of them character types, people who know what i'm talkin about would be one of them hitachi types and they are hell easy to use, they are found on things like micro tech displays and i think even the powerfc hand controller .. but yeah they are easy to program ... do some tests ... the program would be pretty simple ... but yeah if u have lots of time to waste it wouldn't be that hard .. especially if you're an electrical/computer engineer like me
  3. the sr is a beeeaaautiful engine
  4. btw i'm sure he can do tints all the way down to like 150 bucks .. but that tint wouldn't be that good ...
  5. yeah 295 thats what u get .. but hey if u think this is too expensive he has others ... go to tint a car and the absolute best they will do for u is 250 and i doubt u will get that from them for their best tint which is btw not as good as this one ... but its up to u guys ... i'm going to try and get the price down further .. but i doubt i could squeeze much more out of the poor guy ... my best suggestion is to go to him and ask him what hes got ... he will take the time to talk to u and tell u stuff ... go to tint a car ... they won't explain shit i reckon ... he will do passengers .. back sides and the back ... and u get to chose the tint darkness and maybe even the reflectiveness of the tint to i think. not 100% sure on that one.
  6. u mean u enter ur car into competitions with a dead stock honda sound system?? LOL the thing inside a sub box is called polyfill ... just makes the box seem bigger to the sub ... ported is harder to build but u will get better results i think...
  7. for those of u who want a steering wheel for the PC .. i can get the logitech MOMO force feedback wheel for around 200 bucks .. probably one of the best PC wheels in the market.
  8. does that brag have a website ??i would like to see the ones they have.
  9. i've seen one of them sil80 skins .. funny on a rx7 though hehe
  10. no worries .. i'm still lookin to do mine in a months time ... anyone else?? we got lots of interests but not many people are definites so far!! ... 295 is a good price, u can go there and ask for cheaper ones if u like i guess
  11. lfs has a good license .. u buy it but i think i gives u 3 keys so u can share it ..
  12. yeah .. i edited first post .. 60 bucks to get it off i think .. unless u want to do it urself .. u can go visit him urself .. just mention me i think he will remember .. then u can go see some of his work ... my friend did her car there last saturday .. turned out pretty good... and she paid 365 .. so i guess 295 is pretty good.
  13. 10k .. better to sell what u got .. u'll get something like 15k or so .. add in that 10k and u could get a modded one already for 25k. thats the easy option .. plus u get to test the car out to see if u like the power ... thats what i would do if i was in ur position.
  14. actually if u look at it closely its quite a testament to the skylines safety features ... i mean i'm getting my car fixed after someone lightly rammed me up my arse .. but u can imagine the speed of the impact of this particular car which i would estimate about approximately 40 to 60 km ... notice how theres no windscreen damage .. i went to the crash repair the other day and say this brand new gold ford falcon .. similar type of accident the front didn't look half as bad as this but it totally pushed in the front windscreen and that too was totally screwed .. so the humble whale is quite a good car in that sense
  15. hey which cat did u get? i mean the size ... and did u gut it??
  16. its up for sale i beleive .. check in the for sale section .. askin about 100k .. i've seen it up close .. its nice and very clean ... .. he wants to fund his 8 sec gtr LOL
  17. why dont' u buy a holden then .. if u work for them don't u get big discounts??
  18. just put in a new engine rather than a turbo kit .. just my opinion
  19. i dont' know if the standard speedo can do anything over what it shows .. i doubt it though .. i mean u have to squash the range from the original 180 through to 240 .. thats an extra 30% ...
  20. i thought they were basically the same .. different shape of car but pretty much the same engine besides the vvt ... so it is better .. but only cause its slightly newer .. not a whole different car imho.
  21. i'm the same .. never broken anything .. worse is probly as a kid i fell over running around and scratched my knee ... i'm invincible
  22. yep.. nothing more annoying than that!!
  23. how much are we lookin at? since i've seen some made in japan that only cost like 40 bucks but i dont' know if they are EL .. i assume not ... and then the ones u get in the shop is like 250 bucks ...
  24. crash repairers who u bring your car too and they dont' start fixing your car for 3 weeks.
  25. what state are u in?
