Never truer words spoken Adrian. no.7 is a pet hate of mine. Despite what paul say's,

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "BOLT ON' MODIFICATION.

:(

bullshit...buy big $$ brand name jappo gear like i do and you will never have a problem. My last 3 turbo kits have all been HKS and have had every nut bolt washer and bracket to install. No extra engineering required and were bolted on with my trusty 10-12mm Honda Mower offset ring spanner. That spanner has just about rebuilt my whole car!

Relied on an aussie to supply one piece of pipe in the latest build and could have walked to Trust HQ in Japan and back ive waited that long for it. Sometimes the expensive option is always the best as it saves time and headaches.

GO GO GADGET......MOWER SPANNER. :(

GO GO GADGET......MOWER SPANNER. :(

my mate who helps me with the car lost it once....i was livid...lucky for him it showed up (sitting on top of the front subframe)

i always clean it after every job and it has a special place in the top of my tool chest. :(

I need crew for tomorrow night. Who's keen and good with a spanner/wheel brace?

Mower spanner experience preferred but not essential.

spanner just came out of the parts washer and is ready for action...what time?

i agree that a good quality kit is much less of a headache to fit, but some cars are shit to work on regardless. i replaced a set of low mounts on a 33 gtr last week. used some manifolds with a balance pipe on top so had to fabricate water feeds, also fabricated oil feeds as the hard pipes are a mongrel. after 2 days of f@%KING AROUND I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY WIFE I DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE. im closing the shop at the end of december. from know on i am only working on nissans with chevs in them. you can all jam your 300s, gtrs, gtirs etc. funny that nissan build the best sports cars but also the worst to work on. i now agree with he mentality of other shops to charge like wounded bulls to work on these heaps of sh$t. charging fairly never got me anyware. the day of the modified street car is dead as most shops cant be f@cked and people wont pay the money the job is worth, unless your from sydney where it seems you can charge anything and people pay. plus cops are sending everybody to EPA testing. looks like dedicated track cars are the go and people will be doing there own work. thats my rant and before you ask, yes i have had a few beers.

Lets just hope the predicted thunderstorms and rain are finish by morning so the track is dry (plenty of thunder and light rain atm). If not drinkies at benm's till the early hours.

It wont run a 10 tonight PaulyD. It's only on its PULP tune and no boost. This is just to sort out any gremlins. Would rather do that at 120mph than 140mph.

Stu - 9:34 and you're peaking. LOL!

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
