R33 Sleeper

Good news from my mate, he only owned the car for a couple of weeks before the prang, prior to buying it he opted to get an RAA check. RAA check failed to list that the car had adjustable/aftermarket coilovers installed so they agreed to cover the cost of any excess/expenses etc. and to pay for the car to be fully engineered once fixed. Just Cars agreed to reimburse him for the damaged coilover, however he had to get a whole new set as he couldnt find a replacement for just the one, so he was abit out of pocket in the end but wont matter because it will be covered by the RAA.

if you're only after that kind of power it would be much cheaper to go for a hiflow turbo, much better bang for buck and bolts straight up, around the 230 mark give or take you'll have to start playing with injectors/afm/fuel pump. deatchwerks injectors (from what i heard) are good for the money or used Nismos around 540cc should be pleanty if you're not going E85, fuel pump i'd go bosch 040 or 044

4th gear kept popping out in my car, turned out didn't have enough oil!

Defs go for a turbo mate, you really wont regret it! They're really good bang for buck atm as well, can find cleanish ones around quite cheap. Don't expect much fuel economy even if you drive like an ol' lady, probably round 300kms per tank, give or take. Turbo model has better components, i.e. stronger gearbox, better brakes, 5 stud etc. etc.

Doesnt a buggered AFM have those symptoms?

ill be moving when my policy's up then, that's for sure

Pretty sure Shannons don't insure under 25's with imports or atleast they didnt when i rang for a quote 3 years ago. It can be added to the policy but doesnt mean they'll cover it i.e. if it's defectable, as per their disclaimer.

Hey guys, I know there is an insurance thread but i was after some specific advice on insurance and defectable mods. A good mate of mine had a prang in his pretty stockish S15 (insured with Just Car). A lady was at fault, pulled out of a side street and T-boned his front right quarter panel. Damage is moderate however he had a set of Cusco coilovers and the front right was damaged. Just Car are saying they won’t replace it because they’re not legal? Which is true I guess…Has anyone had any experience in similar situations? Any advice on where to go from here? Should we start looking for a used pair of front coilovers? Cheers

Yep, they defs flash at night but not during the day, not sure how far apart the flashes are but it sounds about right

yea i know of these steve, just not as darn convenient!

i must say though, in his defence, it is a bugger to keep track of rego now (without the stickers)

Got my guards rolled at Adelaide Radial Tyre but they won't do guard flaring because it can crease your guards, they told me best option is a body shop, since then i have been recommended to All Type Crash but haven't had a chance to go in

I believe spectators are encouraged mate, if someones nice enough they might even take u for a spin

Hey mate, interested in the cusco caster rods, adjustable rear camber arms and the nismo strut brace, can you pm me some pics?

After an oil/air seperatror kit for 33

Anyone want them, would be good for drags/track 300 ono

lol rule that out then, defs check coils then

Free revving? Clutch slip under load

Don't think they check emissions, do they? Wonder if you could get through on e85 or if they'd smell it lol

What tyres and what rpm did you launch at? see much wheel spin? good time btw!

that is one cheap engine Hemi in a holden though?

lol that is crazy sick, like an f1 car with a body, ridiculous lol

lol nuss, not bad buddy

Got stock gear knob u can have if u want buddy, bit worn but

After a pair of windscreen wiper arms for an s13, presume they'd be interchangeable with r32?
