  1. Sorry, im in brisbane, on the north side but can easily come to the south side if needed
  2. Does anyone have some spare coilpacks that i can borrow? if it fixes my problem i might even buy them if you are looking to sell
  3. Recently my TCS off and Slip light turned on when i started my car one day, after a few days it went off, but a few days after that it came back on. After doing a few searches, it seems to be a common problem with the R34's if the coilpacks need replacing, but after bridging the consult port and getting the error code, i am getting a code 17 which in its definition states: "ABS-TCS Control Unit - Throttle control unit detects malfunction in the system. (open throttle sensor harness etc). TCS/ABS control unit detects malfunction. Which im not quite sure what action to take to fix it? Im pretty sure that if it were the coilpacks it would be giving a 21 error code, so before forking out the $600 odd dollars(that could go to a lot more useful mods that actually increase performance), does this mean there is something else wrong with my car? Physically driving the car there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it, i might be imagining a slight decrease in power, but nothing drastic, and the traction control is definately turned off (which isnt suprising given the TCS OFF and SLIP light) but other then that it drives normal. Any help would be appreciated guys
  4. I've been thinking about doing this, with the improvements that you say its made i think i've finally made my decision. How was the fitment, straight bolt on? and what else do you need to buy to replace these, new gaskets? some sort of sealant? and did you keep the stock cat on it?
  5. Im live on the northside of brisbane, send me a pm, would be great if you could help, or anyone else in the area, it should really just be a 2 minute job, i'll remove the dump pipe so that its a straight forward job.
  6. Hey guys, I recently got myself an EGT gauge and im just having trouble deciding how to mount my sensor, im not comfortable messing around with my manifold, so i decided to sacrifice some accuracy and put the sensor on my dump pipe. The dump pipe wall is too thing to drill and tap a hole to simply screw the sensor in, so i would need to weld a bung onto it and mount it that way, except i don't have a welder. I have seen another way which might solve me problem, by using a clamp such as the one below or as pictured in this manual: http://www.autometer...n/2650-1088.pdf (right at the bottom) But i'm having trouble finding these clamps, i have found the one pictured on ebay, but none of them are big enough to clamp over the 3" pipe, does anyone have any idea where i can get these?
  7. Im in the process of changing my gauges too (just waiting for them to arrive from america) Basically, if you want the gauge behind the glass, its 52mm, if you want gauge sitting right where the original glass actually is its 60mm, if you take the cluster out and have a look you'll know what i mean. I opted for the 60mm, i didnt like having the 52mm gauge behind the glass, and then behind the gauges glass, it just make it look like the gauge was too far back. The 60mm is still behind the cluster so its not sticking out or anything so it looks like its meant to be there. Plus i also liked the size of the 60mm, i wanna see whats going by a glimpse, not trying to focus my eyes on what my gauges are doing when im have a spirited drive. Another thing to consider with choosing your gauges is the bezel it comes with, obviously u want a flat faced bezel if u want it to fit nicely. I'll post up pics when mine are install, but unfortunately that might be a few weeks away.
