  1. the term 'sway bar' is perfectly acceptable and I've yet to see anyone confused as to what the term refers to when discussing car related matters. Its name is also accurate, with its function to influence & control the sway/roll of the vee-hickle, as per dictionary definition of sway " To incline or bend to one side;". Anyway yes you should get one if you don't have one and yes you have a right to be proud of your car but you should keep in mind if you're serious about moving to performance driving you should consider moving onto other options rather than spending a lot on an n/a car which is unlikely to deliver the overall performance result you're after without spending bank-heist loads of cash on it.
  2. Either way, till u get longer studs, and aren't autobarn ones just an open spacer, not hubcentric? , take them off before you cause a 7 car fatality
  3. Have been running wheel spacers for about a year and no issues, if u do as kiwi says- use longer studs, no ifs or buts, wouldn't even think of using them otherwise, and get hubcentric ones(gktech make cheap good ones).
  4. gauge pod looks good buddy. Your cross bar looks the part too, I tried making one but couldn't get my pipe bender to do a good straightline bend without kinking, yours looks like it worked just fine though.
  5. You could try the gtt coilovers, they might fit, being same model? Trl.
  6. Aghh yeah totally not. Alot to be said for an auto in a daily driver, as i have found.
  7. Been a while since i touched them but pretty sure they are also differently ribbed... So each belt will only fit on one pulley and crankshaft slot
  8. I had trouble with my caster rod nuts coming loose; dab on some blue loctite when doing them up. Will gum up the threads to stop vibrating loose but still able to undo when needed easy enough.
  9. Turbo timer issue, keeping ign circuit live
  10. People on here are often happy to help in person...whats your location?
  11. you could also check, the NOS might have been set to activate at 5000rpm, that would explain the Tong-Po-like kick you're getting then.
  12. ^^as above. Would you describe it as similar in power to the hard roundhouse kicks Tong Po delivers in the early scenes of the classic Van Damme movie "Kickboxer"? Specific references needed for comparison to be able to advise further.
  13. I love the way you note your type of air filter but not the turbo or type of boost control, what boost level etc. So i'll assume it's n/a. In which case, there's your problem..
  14. nah piece o piss, have done it heaps of times, never had a customer complain... "ARRRRRRGGHHHHH!"*death* does not count as a complaint.
  15. Yeah i saw the r33 one and i was like riiiiight... Pity the guy they sold it to.
  16. Ps its a piece of piss to troubleshoot which coil it is. But if still original coils, worth changing all now anyway.
  17. Have you tried it out yet though or judt theorizing at this point? For i found the kinugawa to be much stiffer and hold wastegate closed much better, so much i had to get a lower psi spring into it.
  18. To avoid being flamed ypu should just do a bit more searching then come back with any q's ypu will find this sort of info already. And no u would ditch the standard solenoid and just use kinugawa gate. Although i use a kinugawa gate and greddy profec, but thats a different story to stock.
  19. thing is though son, I know it sounds like, oh wow I'd be able to boost like, all the way up to 10 psi....but I found it made point-oh-shite all of difference and unless you get one for 10 bucks, not worth chasing down. I would suggest the adjustable kinugawa wastegate with the low-pressure spring, that will bolt on, give more responsive boost as well as some degree of adjustable boost control. They're only $100-something off ebay new.
  20. I'm sure they CAN be, but....
  21. More ants, from a rival neighbourhood.
  22. actually just reading some of the other topics in this subforum...you may have a point...what IS going on there Terry?
  23. maybe you didn 't read the thread title properly Birds or haven't seen the 80's classic 'Piranha" which was based on a true story (possibly)....them little fishes, they'll wreck ya
  24. Are you moving to qld Terry? What's with all the pestilence-related questions..?
