  1. Following up on the 2 Bucket technique, I strongly believe in it and use it everytime. First picture is the soap that I use and the second picture shows the clean water (after use) that I rinse out the mitts with. You can see I've used sponges but they are only for the Rims as I'm not so picky on those. Imagine if all that dirt in the clean water was back in your soap bucket and you scratched it all over your car again! Soap Bucket: Clean Rinse Bucket: (look at all the dirt around the edge!)

  4. Plan too but also plan to put in a muffler just so it doesn't make noise unless at full throttle
  5. Ahh okay thought so, will have to source one of those because the NA one is only hanging on by a bolt, doesn't have the same noise though
  6. I know Previous owner has it for 6 years with the mods doesn't even get pulled over, I get stuck in a booze bus 2 weeks after purchase and I get done for his mods At least theres no massive mods, exhaust is all I have to worry about now. Is there a difference between an N/A and GTS-T airbox or have I just set it up all wrong cos it hardly fits
  7. So I can leave the intercooler on? Cos theres a hole cut for that nor do I have the original cooler.
  8. Well I'm not really sure thats the thing, the TMU officer pointed out manual boost controller, pod+intercooler and loud exhaust, now gone back to stock with the controller cos it was useless anyway, airbox is on (N/A one doesnt even fit ) and the exhaust I suppose has to be under 90dB. It doesn't specifically state any modifications on the form but it says "Emission Control Systems And Noise" as the title $80.70 to get it tested it says.
  9. Yeah just spoke to an exhaust guy and he said it'll pass with stock cat back which is good, now I need to find someone who will lend it to me for a week in exchange for a slab or something.. Do they care that my N/A airbox doesn't fit properly with stock turbo piping and is only bolted down with one bolt? surely they wouldnt..
  10. Well I received my EPA in the mail, doesn't mention anything about the modifications he found but other than the exhaust it has all been put back to stock, gonna go down to an exhaust shop tomorrow to see what they can do but its 3" turbo back and 3.5" after the cat so it's pretty loud and I'm thinking stock catback with POSSIBLY the metal plate as R31Nismoid mentioned above added in is the only way it'll pass, any suggestions? Cheers.
  11. Dropping the girlfriend off at netball training
  12. SXCR33 at the Falcons/Waverley basketball stadium, came in as I was driving out.
  13. So 4 of each tyre? If so do you have some pictures of the kumhos?
  14. Black R32 on Highbury Rd late this afternoon, SAU stickers on the quarters and then a white R32 GTR cross the stephensons road / highbury rd intersection seconds later.
  15. Was this the one just outside Safeway/RSPCA there cos thats where I got done at a booze bus/defect station the other night.
  16. I've currently got 19x8.5 on front and rear with 245 tyres with standard suspension, they do scrub when taking a corner with bumps in it as expected but normal driving their all good, would not recommend anything wider for circuit with stock guards though.
  17. Cheers matey! The 17" Rays go on as soon as I get my tax return so that should HOPEFULLY lower it a little until I can afford coilovers!
  18. Bit dirty but I figured it was about time for some decent pics. Not long now until the Rays go on.
  19. SKY 32 at forest hill shopping centre and a black S2 33 GTST parked in the next bay over.
  20. Do you have an ash tray matey? Cheers!
  21. It's not the hose it's the rubbery fitting for the hose that's wedged into the block
  22. It's how I bought the car, I wouldn't be stupid enough to put it in plain sight where the previous owner has an would have kept the stock airbox but I suppose you always get caught out in that week where you say "I'll fix it tomorrow"
  23. Apparently getting an EPA in the mail sometime soon after tonight... Manual boost controller, intercooler+pod and possibly exhaust, heres hoping i dont. "It looks a bit low" "....LOL its stock height" "Yeah but what about the exhaust" "....it's the same height as stock" Meanwhile my cars parked in 25cm high grass..
  24. Packed in silicone, was rubber fitting to the metal head and seems to have sealed it, no hissing anymore, will check on it tomorrow after a proper drive and hope it hasn't melted.
