a certain someone just above you that you and I did the brakes for may have some for sale.....remember

lol blue mesh, reminds me of something like 5 years ago, PK's 33 in SCS when it was back at immanuel college, won an award for something and all it had was the plates and blue mesh from what i can remember.

Back when SCS was a good show.

sigh. another delay. with the cat again. fits. but the flanges dont line up with the rear section of my exhaust. think ill be calling jjr in the morning. to ask about my intercooler (which they still havent gotten back to me about, and about this f**king cat. i really cant be bothered with this thing.

good deal there, nice set too! how do you go about getting wheels shipped to aus?

ive been looking through jap auctions a fair bit but have nfi how to get them sent here or by who or how much haha.

haha, ole Anthony Chucky Norris is a good lad....I reckon Adelaide Engine was his very 1st job, when he was just a snotty nosed little kid.

Has he kissed and made up with his brother yet?

ummmm....no, unfortunately not...Paul is doing well though, he usually comes out with me on drives but he had to fix a car at his joint..He's working for himself as a milky now..his own hours..his own boss....Chucky (or FUNKY as we call him...long story) is still plodding along down at Grand...still unmarried..still playing the game like some 22 year old..lol

So you've replaced a dodgy set with another dodgy set? Buy some Splitfires, if the issue persists then you can rule out coilpacks.

As for the bolt, depending on where it snapped, use a set of pliers, wrap it around the thread of the bolt and work it out that way, done that before on my car, easy as piss.

Id rather find what the exact problem is rather than waste $600 on something i didn't need in the first place. If it is coilpacks, then ill replace them, but the set i had spare, i had no idea of the condition. The bolt has nothing left to grab with pliers, so ill have to take the cradle out.

    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 馃槄. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 馃槀.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven鈥檛 played with her in a while, but I鈥檓 back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 馃
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
