    Not without spending a fortune. A shift kit will transform it but still 500ish unless you do the work yourself.

    The only one worth considering though, is a 1 piece item like the Ultra Racing brace.

    well, actually it does matter...are you new to our legal system ?? the law very much takes into account the severity of an incident on an individual basis, and the circumstances surrounding it. Anyway - drag racing - on the streets, come on. It's no place for it. Drag racing is cool to watch but it's a bit "fuuuuark that was sick!!!" next run.. "yeahhhh that was sick" then "that was pretty cool" then " ok now i'm bored, when's the motor racing on"..

    Ass-uming you mean on stock ecu? No, you can do basic boltons on stock ecu. Issue is more when you start to increase the boost.

    Johnson rod, going into steering column boot.

    And i wouldn't ever buy a non adj.swaybar ever again, cos u will end up 2anting adjustable. Superpro do a good bar in 22mm adj.

    it may also be worth seeing if someone like CBC bearings stock a bearing that can be fitted to the tops, rather than having to buy a whole new item.

    BNE - rb25det to suit rebuild Rb25det bottom end out of R33 Skyline - block is in good order, crank is good but superficial scuffing to no.3 rod journal where rod spun a bearing - only shallow marking so will be fine for engine rebuild. Have the stock rods, and 4x stock pistons (have used the other 2), and sump. Apart from oil pump which is yours if you want it, this is just the parts listed, no balancer, manifolds etc. Had bought this to do an engine rebuild but ended up rebuilding the engine already in the car. Not really keen on shipping, prefer local buyer in Brisbane - $150.

    thanks Kiwi, they look alright actually. Have ordered the only new starter I could find online in stock, which was Auto8 brand. Not 1000% on the quality but will see once it arrrivederci's, will get the oem one rebuilt if needed.

    look...this one ain't rocket-scientifical. pull shit off/move shit out of the way till you can reach the hose, then replace with any decent 6/8 mm(can't remember what size but think 6mm) quality hose of required length. No way i'd gen. Nissan for this, it's only a mild bend that most free-length hose can cope with. Yeah it's tight but welcome to JDM. Replace said shit that you moved out of the way. Fine for another 10+years.

    yes I did notice a difference going from a magnaflow 200 metal cat to a 100 cell Venom, in a 5in? (been a long time since I had any reason to recall) body, and I'm nowhere near the power level you are so it should help. Not sure of the emissions legality of it though. Just hoping to plead ignorance "but I have a cat fitted" if it ever comes to that, rather than going decat pipe (which in my experience on my old car, make a huuuuuge difference that can't be beat, no matter how many articles on it Hot 4's etc publish, claiming otherwise.)

    bumping this up, anyone know a decent starter motor available in Oz for the RB engines lately? The Bosch motor BXM034N that is listed for skylines is definitely NOT suitable and Bosch tell me they don't actually make one for Skylines despite what it says on their page. Genuine Nissan is $700+, I hear nothing but bad things about the OEX brand, and can only find Auto 8 brand which looks like it will fit, but might be a bit cheap n nasty?

    and this Kenny Ken set is getting me uncontrollably aroused, in a musical sense, 30min in.
  14. hardsteppa
    funny this should come up. My vinyls of DRI- Crossover, Slayer - Reign in Blood and Sepultura - Beneath the Remains have gotten a few plays lately.
  15. hardsteppa
    did this get sorted? cos just saw these Rough Tempo badboys https://www.hfm.parts/shop/clearance/gk-tech-silicone-hose-reducer-straight-pipe-joiner-70mm-63mm/

    trans is still going well Trex; my power levels are pretty pisswe@k, prob under or on 200rwkw. Valve body kit transformed car though. Have thought about going manual but for daily driving will be a PITA, this is much more traffic friendly than my last car with OS Gayken twinplate ...although it was an awesome clutch.
  17. hardsteppa
    Uh oh...
  18. hardsteppa
    Yes, was afm needed cleaning. As far as ignition timing goes, gtsboy is correct again lol. Timing is supposed to be erratic but having idle set right without idle control on, makes it less so.
  19. hardsteppa
    rsr's were fine but yes the newer rsrr are noisy as anything, at over 70k. Car noise is no issue for me but of course, might be a factor for some.
  20. hardsteppa
    they are good hey. Have them on the front at the moment in the same size as you, and will do them on the rear too as soon as current tyres wear out. For me to date though, the ultimate performance street tyre is still the RSRR. Just bloody awesome. Quick wearing but also relatively 'dirt cheap' on the performance scale. I imagine the ad08 might be better still but more $$, and not used them myself. I also hear great things about these; only thing the tyre shop pointed out, is they're not made for' performance' driving, eg not made with large shoulder blocks...so apparently will be good but just wear fairly quickly if pushed.
  21. hardsteppa
    welcome to Aus mate, very nice car it does look mint
  22. hardsteppa
    I read good reviews on them too, but - all comes back to what sort of driving you will do. They are still a 'street' tyre so don't have the larger side blocks like RS3's do so won't last too long if used for mountain roads, track etc...although i'm sure will grip like sh&t for everyday commuting.
  23. hardsteppa
    if you're serious about doing any track time then another set of rims/wheels will be needed. Great for track ain't great for street. Or as above, AD08R, but won't last long on street so cheaper to hav a 2nd set, in the long run.
  24. hardsteppa
    an $85 transgo shift kit can be made to give similar results.
  25. hardsteppa
    I don't believe you'd 'rebuild' the BC inserts...for the price anyway you'd just buy a new shock insert, if that was found to be the faulty component. Although a few other things on BC's that can knock too, not just the shockereeo....o. Is it definitely the shocktwizzle? And what's the camber query...
