  1. I got one for a Lada Niva. Will this get you out of trouble?
  2. Umm... get a nice well fitted car cover?
  3. Top stuff mate! Have you got anymore pics of the car? I would love to know more about it too.
  4. Where are you from/located old mate? I am in the Hunter valley in NSW.
  5. Where is hillside? Give us all an area to keep our eyes open.
  6. All good. I got my car booked in at Blacktrack performance next week. I will get an e-boost installed then .
  7. I bloody hope not!! Its leaked once before. There is a white coolant type of stain on the block. It certainly does not use ANY coolant even after beeing driven hard. NEVER been any pool of coolant under the car after driving. To tell ya the truth, its kind of hard to tell what the hell it is with the turbos in place. Engine does have a catch can. I dont know much about them though...
  8. OK. Car is now pulled apart. Still not enough removed to see any ID on the turbo apart from the word Garret. The mechanics have stopped any work on it beacuse they have found: 1x crack in the exhaust manifold on cylinder no.2 from the froont of the car. 1x old wated leak in/on engine block below the 1st turbo from the front of the car. And there is oil on all pipe work on the intake side of the turbos. Is the oil on the inside of the pie aceptable? Should I get the turbos reconditioned? Or just sell em as is and get new N1's or better? Or is it time for a big single turbo setup!? I want this car to be able to handle a days hard driving on the race track and then be driven home. I dont want to always be worried the car is about to shit itself. Please any advice anyone can give is very much appreciated!
  9. Is this a good price for an e-boost? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TURBOSMART-E-BOOST2-ELECTRONIC-BOOST-CONTROLLER-SILVER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZalgoQ3dLVIQ26ituQ3dUCIQ26otnQ3d1Q26poQ3dLVIQ26psQ3d63Q26clkidQ3d7538500061772328101QQ_trksidZp3286Q2em7QQcategoryZ33742QQitemZ280559936335
  10. So after the amount of replies in this thread, I take it no one on here runs an e-boost? What does everyone else use?
  11. Just like the COCKHEADS that drive em!!
  12. As per the title. Is eBay my friend here or is there somewhere cheaper? Are they worth paying $550+ for? Anyone got a silver faced second hand one for sale?
  13. Okay. So it sounds as if it is not that easy to know just from a visual inspection. That's a shame as I wanted to know for sure if they are or not. I suppose that the mob (probably Black Track up here near Newcastle) that'll do the dyno run and boost will have an idea what the engine is capable of once they are playing with it. The list of mods the previous owner gave me so far are all true.
  14. My car is goin in on monday to get a leaking exhaust manifold gasket replaced. So whilst all the intake plumbing is removed, I want to be able to see what turbos are bolted onto it. The previous owner told me it had GTR N1 turbos but how will I know? I want to be able to tell exactely what turbos are on the car, because once this exhaust leak is fixed, I want to be able to put the car on a dyno and start throwing some more boost into it. My question is: What do i look for on my turbos to define that they are N1's?
  15. Get a Vuvuzela... I actually used one of these out the back window of the old mans Mitusbishi express. Travelling back from the Bathurst 1000 on the Bells line of road. Nearly got cut off by a silly woman, so blew the f**k out of one of these at her and she broke so hard she locked up the front wheels!!
  16. Well I cant say specifically about your vehicle. Mine cost about $1700. New front diff oil and gearbox oil, new synchro's on 3rd and 4th, new spigot bush/bearing and labour.
  17. That was a great show! Just booking me plane tickets online as we speak...(joking). I would love to go to that event! Who's coming with me?
  18. So what is something like this actually worth? I would love to own a car like this one day!
  19. I would say its a worn out synchro. My car did the same once the gearbox oil was hot. I recently had the gearbox out of it, so threw in a fresh synchro on 3rd ond 4th and now it drives as good as new!!
  20. I bought a new queen size bed today. Do you want my old one? Or should I just dump it in the bush and set fire to it? Congratulations on the club house!! I look forward to checking it out one day!
  21. Got a leaking exhaust gasket on my RB26DETT. What I am wondering is, is it worth the extra money to buy "better" gaskets? Should I buy the standard/stock ones http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18505&cat=&page=1 or spend the extra on something like these? http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17770&cat=&page=1 Engine has a fair few mods and once this exhaust leak is fixed, it will be getting thrown on a dyno to see what she's got! Also will be doing track days with this car too.
  22. Thank christ i never went to college Sounds like a bargain. PM me some pics! Isnt the bold above an unrelated comment? I am only asking, as because I never went to college I must belong to a lower socioeconomic group. So therefore Imost certainly must be dumb.
  23. Thanks for your unrelated comment.... blah blah blah.
  24. Hey Chef! Do you have a 260RS manual available? Or do you know where I can get one?
