    does anyone know if r33 gtst rear callipers will fit on a s2 rs4 with out any mods
  2. Big Jim
    i suggest using pipsters coke bottle trick and getting the motor to operating temp and holding the rev's at about 1500 rpm to help the coolent circulate then let it cool down you may have to do it a few times it always has worked for me maybe also pull a heater hose just off to se if you have coolent in the heater core

    the only thing i have ever see go wrong with a harmonic balancer is the rubber bonding seperating or the key way flogging out sounds a bit suss if you ask me and there is no bearing on a balancer they must be talking about the idler for the timing belt which should always be replaced with the belt

    i have done lots of heads and the best way is to leave all the manifolds on untill you get it on to the bench dont forget to put the motor to top dead center before you start taking the timing belt off should only take about three hours with basic hand tools to remove the head you should find out if the head bolts are touque to yield if so you will need new bolts

    In my time as a mechanic i have see to many vehicles do the head gaskets after about a year or two must have something to do with the extra heat in the combustion chamber i think

    I do know that time on the rollers are need for a top tune but what i would like to know is can you just solder the new board in and drive off to wait for a tune later when the handbrake lets me spend some of my hard earned funds on some good mods

    is the nistune option a plug and play unit or does it need time on the dyno?

    changed my o2 sensor on the weekend to an el 6cyl bosch unit cut wire and soldered old plug on had a reistance of 2 to 3 ohms old one had 5 to 6 ohms took it for a drive did get a bit better economy but not really not noticeable good to here other poeple are only getting out 450 km to a tank i thought something might have be wrong with my car

    Your best bet is to take the car to a engine reconditioner and just say that you dont want it back till it runs sounds like bent valves hope they havent made there way in to the pistons good lesson for everyone to learn to bad it had to be you to show everyone somethings should be left to the professionals

    just got back from a trip to karratha 200km one way use about half a tank to get there On the way back only used about 1/3 of a tank sat on 130 kph all the way very odd i think talking about autos what does everyones rpm read at 110kph and 130kph mine read 3000rpm at 130kph
  23. Big Jim

  24. Big Jim
    You bought the wrong car for saving fuel and the planet * Ahem .. load of crap * LPG kit if your keeping the car for a while. sausage fuel is only meant for your bbq mate and its a 2000 neo rs4 stagea not un happy with it love the car but if anyone know what mods may make a differance in fuel usage i would love to hear about it

    Need to know how does everyone else go for fuel economy? I went for a drive on the weekend it was a 400km round trip from pannawonica to onslow I was traving at 130kph all the way not over taking much traffice and used a full tank of fuel it worked at about 16L per 100km I just fitted new yellow jacket coil packs and irdium tip plugs set to 1.1mm gap I have owned the car for about 6 months and its never had good mileage
