Same here!! I finally had all my 6 injectors replaced with orginal GTR items. The current ones were cracking (don't know how and why, but apparently this is common now) They're $330 per injector from Japan! It's crazy! I could get a full set of Sard injectors with bigger cc for the same price of 3 original injectors! Problem is, I'd need a aftermarket ecu to run them :D

or a remap? either way, it would end up costing twice as much. did you buy new ones? i thought you would be able to pick up some cheaper ones locally?

heres a pic of my rims too, all cleaned up and safely in aus with me!

VERY nice choice of wheels there! :D

hey Cronic... Just priced up a power fc for a R32 GTR for a mate on here for $900 del. If u need one i can put a order in for u to :D

Oh really? Can u put in an order for me also? Will have some tax money that will need spending if a few weeks. Was going to get one off ebay for $1,095. For $900 i can add a few other things to the list of 'things im going to buy with my tax money'.

Only $900? I would say Yes, but my funds are zilch at the mo'. I need my new exhaust before I start on anything else - my baffles inside the cat are wobbling all the time now - they're bound to just come off anyday now and shoot out the back... although, I doubt this could happen.

Turbo-back exhausts on twin turbo's are so expensive! It's like $700 just for the dump pipe!

What is the standard compression for an RB25det?

Did a compression test on a mates car yesterday but i don't know what the factory specs are and i only have silvia/180sx manuals.

Results (psi); (They look very good IMO)

1- 167

2- 168

3- 170

4- 170

5- 169

6- 168

What sort of upgrade is an N1 compared to standard Pete?
More fins in the water pump (2 more from memory)

Close....other way around actually. N1 pumps have less but larger fins. They don't suffer cavitation issues at high rpm and apparently flow better at lower rpm due to the bigger impellar with less fins. :P

Looks pretty good Dale....gotta be happy to be within 2-3 psi :P

Well my car goes in saturday to have sideskirts fitted and front bar fitted and painted! Apparently theres another little white support infront of the reo that has to come off for aftermarket bars, so the front bar will supposedly fit! Will be done before autosalon, yay.

got my car back from smooth garage today from a manual conversion!

so very happy :P

edit: also getting a few more bits and peices done friday. hope to get it all back better then ever by the weekend :P

    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
