  1. interested in what the OP had to put in after there was only 1/4 left - may as well try and get exact figures
  2. how many litres does it take to go from 1/4 to full? get a bit of an idea of L/100km
  3. easy Status Tuning remap. Cheaper than PowerFC and Trent will make sure you have a top tune. Try buying a Powerfc, getting it installed, and tuning it for the stimulus cost. That will be most of the $900, then maybe you can just ask him what you should spend with the rest. And in addition, you're spending it on a local service, which is the best way for the money to be spent. If the daughterboards came from oz it would be ever better! but yes, cash handouts are f*cking useless - but i'm going to try and make mine as productive as possible
  4. yeah, that's what i meant be "setting up"
  5. digging a thread, but can you actually REMOVE the B pillar plastic bit??? looking at some CF options
  6. like this? http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/113850-34gtr-le...-light-fog.html
  7. not really one for the newbies?
  8. should complain vigorously, and demand some free petrol for hardship suffered
  9. is there any method to setting these things up? you don't need one person in the car and one person installing do you??
  10. i work in sth melb, but won't be in until tomorrow, so if i have time, i'll wander on down to the United and see if the E85 pump is there... very tempting..........
  11. i think i have about 7cm clearance with my East Bear front bumper with full lower lip/splitter. It has taken a serious beating over the couple years i've had it and i've only in the last year cracked the lower lip bit, and that's because i hit chunky tree branches at 100kph+ down near Apollo bay. If it wasn't for that trip, i reckon it would still be holding up ok. But i dare say my front bumper and lip have survived because the parts are plastic injected moulded, not fibre glass. Yes i have i have 1 kidney, 1 lung and half a liver because of the East Bear kit but it is absolute quality and probably why it's not in a million pieces. What's it like day to day? ALL speed humps most be approached at angles. ALL drive-ways must be approached at angles, sometimes SEVERE angles. Usually i put the window all the way down and stick my head full out so i can get as much as angle as possible, without gutter scraping etc. If i can, i like to KNOW where i'm going before i go there. This way i know i'm not going to stop traffic whilst i'm stuck going forward and not able to reverse due to a bunch of people behind me. I know of some car parks in the city in Melb that i cannot get into, and usually i just go to this one i KNOW I can get into and around all the different levels. Sometimes it requires a bit of a walk to get wherever, but i don't care, because i know i won't get stuck and hold up a bunch of people whilst i try and unscrew the front splitter (thank goodness it's never come to this) If you take full car loads often i'd be careful, especially if you have stock or not that hard suspension. I have in the past asked people to hop out whilst in tricky spots. I like to drive out to the bush and what not, but really, sometimes the roads don't allow it. Giving it a fang on back roads which aren't dead smooth will result in scraping the front bumper. I have the full bilstein/whiteline shock/spring setup but at high speeds over undulating roads, i will scrape the bumper. Be careful on highly cambered roads as well. I'm lucky in that i don't drive the car a lot because i think it would be too much to live with day-to-day driving unless the route taken didn't cause problems. if i can think of anymore gripes, i'll add them Is the JSAI kit finally finished??? the front bumper looks a little strange on the sides around the wheels...
  12. "thort" = thought "cruze" = cruise /end p.s.a.
  13. Possible, if there is some sort of ship capable of taking his car from the top of oz to Indo/PNG OR to Singapore, something like that. Once you're at the bottom of s.e. asia, you can drive the whole way. Tunnel under the English Channel or you could take a ferry from mainland europe to England. think paris to dhakar, just a little further
  14. true, but i'm getting confused as previous posts indicate the R33 is .48 and the R34 can be EITHER .56 or .63 - Al previously mentioned that the 34 as TWO different rear housings.
  15. according to the turbo builder there is a .56 and .63 rear housing size. i'm trying to determine if i have the .63 if it's the .56 then i guess it's probably not worth the change over, as you've already pointed out. I will however seriously consider the change if i have the .63 or can get a .63
  16. ok guys, i have a dead R33 turbo here and i've got my R34 turbo from my car.... The r33 rear housing has "2IU" embossed on it, and my R34 rear housing has "OP6" embossed on it... does that give me any size indications at all?
  17. PM was full, have now cleared it
  18. well, how big of a response difference are we talking about? because the one i have in there at the moment is practically the stock response, the graphs on a hub dyno are very similar, so i could probably trade a bit off down low because the hi-flow i have at the moment is hardly noticable in terms of difference to response. would i have to "run in" the turbo again if i changed the rear housings over?
  19. Hi guys, just wanted to pick some brains here as i've only found out this rather crucial difference. The R34 rear housing on the stock turbo is larger than the R33 rear housing. Which got me thinking, would an R34 hi-flowed turbo be better than a R33 hi-flow or would the difference be negligible? I recently got a hi-flow but at the time didn't think there was a difference between the 33 and 34, and the rear housing used was a R33. My R34 turbo is fine (after finding the leak in the FMIC piping) and wasn't used to make the hi-flow. I see potential in the hi-flow i've got at the moment, and it's a new one that hasn't been tried before (with the bugs that go along with it, still being worked out) but wondering whether i should switch to a R34 rear housing? Obviously i won't bother if the difference isn't going to be worth the hassle. I'm not sure if it's easy/hard to just switch the rear housing around. Keen on your thoughts cheers, daniel
  20. how can you sleep!!?? hahhaa, i know i wouldn't be able too... no GPS, in a $150K car? that's a bit rough... hope they rectify for you guys soon with a software upgrade or something, at no cost. no demonstrators? was he referring to his dealership or in general? trying to get my old man down for a test drive. I thought it was be hard to just get a test drive, didn't know they were possibly planning on no demonstrators...
  21. ^ dude, gotta say, you take some stunning photo's...
  22. what sus you running? EDIT: just watched the vids, shit dude, got the hang of the hand brake turns! i sucked at those when i did my first motorkhana
  23. question is, how much you willing to pay for it? if you did get the EB skirts/lower extensions, what would you do with the rear bumper?
  24. ah yes, the pm... will reply asap what skirts, rear bar you got at the moment? You got a top secret front bumper yeah? what does the top secret GTR run in terms of skirts/rear bumper?
  25. i noticed that too... he was like "ha ha ha... now bask in my pure awesomeness" nice vid
