Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Well I just got a quote from All Type Crash, they said 300 to paint my (brand new fiberglass) front bar and $50 an hour to fit. I'm hoping its going to fit pretty well and won't take longer than 2 hours. How does that quote compare with your experiences guys?

Th catch is the fitting time

When I replaced my front bar recently we went through 4 of them before we found one the workshop were happy to spend time fitting (the others required too much work)

All of the bars we ordered were NEW fiberglass from supposedly reputable bar manufacturers (there were several companies we wouldn't even look at). Given the choice I would have ordered plastic from the manufacturer, but that wasn't an option.

Hahaha thats awesome Shaun

Rhys you can roughly expect 170-180rwkw at boostworx

(this figure is based on another guy here that made that power no mods)

you guys are welcome for the group buys and building relations with traders, when you get an alarm Rhys foot forget to mention sau for your discount

as for painting stuff i saw our other recommended alarm installer and he gave me the card to a guy up the road from him i will give him a call and see how he pulls up on price

I have the MSPEC Radiator that is in the group buy section but i bought it from an adelaide distributor for the same price as he is selling them for.

I bought mine From Car Torque Products in Kent Town i think they are located.

Not sure whether they are getting more of them in though.

I will hopefully be looking at either a HKS GTRS, Garrett GT3582, Garrett 3071 or a TD06 20G.

Not sure which way i am going yet as it depends on funds and the girlfriend as to how far i can go. I am hopefully aiming at 280+ rwkw, but that is quite far away as the next stage of mods i am still pricing them up as i will be changing quite a few parts to make the car easier to work on and give better throttle response. Eg forward facing plenum ect

Just wanted to give a big thumbs up to Ricc @ Auto Perfection! :D:ermm::)

Had 20% tint done on the legnum windows & alarm installed on Tuesday. Excellent job, 2nd to none customer service. Great guy and great job - very happy! :D

*note: price was also fantastic thanks to Steve's negotiating skills :)

+1 more from me.

awesome bloke, quote me $470 for my alarm and amp install, cleaned up all the dodgy wiring from previous installs, ended up costing a bit more, but it was quality work, all looks factory. the alarm cancelled out my factory boot release switch, so he offered to wire in a new relay (to run off the alarm remote) next time i booked the car in, and get my bonnet struts regassed at the rates he gets them. :D

basically, the dudes f**kin awesome :D

      ENR34 - Low-speed detonation/pre-ignition

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! In the latest of my un-luck saga, I had been hearing some metal-sliding/rattling noises at lower RPM under engine load/acceleration. Originally thought it might be transmission related since that was where I'd usually shift (I live in a slow neighborhood so lots of lower-rev driving). But, upon having a mechanic hear it, it turns out that I have a detonation issue. Before I got a timing belt service, this was happening in 1500 up to 3K RPM, but post timing belt replacement it's been down to about 1700-2100. I've been doing my damnedest to keep her above 2100 for most driving - little bit more jerky but I'd rather not lose an engine over this. So far:  - replaced timing belt, timing retarded slightly as per mechanic who did the work... problem got smaller but not solved (as an aside, getting lots of belt whine and even squeal when I start her up in the mornings) - Been only using top-tier fuel available locally (91 is premium for my state in USA, since it's high altitude we get f*ed on gas quality. Been using Shell... but does have the "contains up to 10% ethanol" sticker, unsure if that's gonna be an issue and if I should seek out no-ethanol gas) - Plugs are BRAND NEW via the seller... maybe they did a bad install? RB25DE, 5MT. Glad to be able to actively control engine speed for an issue like this. Other than a bad MAF, what else could it be? Could the spark job have been a bust? Compression test came back 180 on all cylinders except one at 160... something questionable there?
