whilst playing with coilpacks etc, i noticed that r34's have 2 butterflies? 1 in the throttle body, obviously, but one that remains open, that sits (looking top down) just right of the TB. what controls that?

anyone know who sells a cheapish front/dump pipe combo ?

need one today for under $200 locally !!!

hey Mitch, ring around, wreckers dude. bound to find something

if you really get stuck, i have a stock dump you can take off my hands for next to nothing, and you'll just need to source a front pipe to match.

i wish :P cant afford an evo, i would <3 a evo5 stripped/caged

got around 15k for a weekend/track car (obviously change from that is prefferable but you get what you pay for) motorkahna/hillclimb/grip are my main goals, the odd skid day wouldnt be frowned upon

R33 is pretty decent bang for buck, you can pick up one with some fairly decent mods for around the 15k mark. you can shove wide tyres on the rear for traction, throw in some adjustable arms, front sway bar, front and rear strut braces, half cage if you want to.

id stab myself in the neck before buying a 33, as cheap as they are now..... still would stab neck.

been lookin at:

32

s13

s14

180

id prefer one already set up for track use (built cars before, cbf doing it right now) so if possible cage/rims/tyres/few mods. ive been lurkin carsales/ns.com & here, found a few possibilities.

edit** if i cant find a worthy candidate from the import world ive got a mate who will sell me a modded sr20det with x-member and gearbox mounts to suit a mk2 escort..... a very tempting option

Note to self:

Sell black Stagea

Buy black Porsche

Drive Porsche thru city looking for imports to challenge (Stagea in this case)

Proceed to speed past at 80kph passing cops in the city in a 50kph zone

Watch in rear mirror as cops ignore Porsche and suss out speed limit obeying Stagea

:P

FAIL

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
