i am cool as a cucumber when it comes to traffic etc.. in melbourne, but damn!! i was stressed something stupid on sat arvo navigating traffic!

the roads are dead set dangerous on their own, horrible is the only word to describe them...they like cement slabs all uneven and called roads....

slightly off topic...i put in about $90 aprox each way in fuel(premium stuff bout 99c/ltr) is that pretty average etc??

not many stone chips, just a couple on the drivers door

Ahh I see you've driven on Parramatta Rd ;)

I used up about $85 on the way there and about $70 on the way back (after the new exhaust was fitted) if that helps.

hey PVA...

what does your blitz pod sound like and how much is it? my pod is wierd.

now for my tale of my f**ked up chassis ;)

while me and my family were holidaying in melbourne we drove around alot... untill the last 4 days we were there my dad noticed some flaping sounds from the rear tyres, when he got out he bent down and noticed that half of the tyre was worn to the belts but the rest of it was full tread...

when we went to get new rear tyres the guy said to have it alligned so we followed his advice... but when the guy started to allign the car he couldent get it to match and was confused about it untill he noticed all the dents and bends on the left hand side of the crossmember :D

when we bought the car we got it inspected by an engineer and he said "small accident damage" but nothing like this! now me and my dad have to pay $1400 for the pannel beating and another $770 for the rear tyres and we need to do it soon because our tyres and getting screwed allredy :)

now my dad is thinking of sueing the engineer but i dont think he will win :D

anyway... thats life :D

caio

hey neoGT, what do u mean when u say ur pod sounds weird?? when i use to have the k&n pod in, it use to make an awesome induction noise, i liked it.

sorry to hear about ur car, sounds like ur engineer didnt do a good job of checking, any damage to the chasis is no good.

Cold Air intake

Blitz NA ECU engine management

Front and Rear Struts

white line Suspension pakages

DBA cross drilled and slotted Rotors

Endless beake pads

Redline engine oil and differential oils

17" ROH wheels YOKOHAMA tires

that's pretty much it!

Turbo would be nice!

If your car has No GO then for RICEY looks :D

cheers

Joe

Hey thanx heaps PVA your car sounds impressive! did all that stuff make much of a difference?

Im hoping to fit a turbo in a year or two so i dont know whether or not i should bother with any mods i spose i can do some things but i dont wanna spend heaps of money only 2 change it all when the turbo is fitted. Suspension package is deffineatly needed now

thanx:)

Not sure if it cones R34 NA... they are RB25DE Neo so I guess it is avaliable I had the list URL.... but lost it . :(

all above came with the car so I am not sure it made any differnce...

but everyone says to me it's pretty fast car for NA and AUTO :)

I dont really care it gets me to places A to B. :)

It will make baby R33 GTR from my R33 GTS-4 :)

R33 GTS4 + RB26DETT + $$$ = Baby GTR

cheers

Here are the things i want so far... are they all good or crap?

(Whats the difference between the exchange price and the normal price?)

MINE's VX-ROM -----> (exchange price - A$1837) A$3367

A'PEXi N-1 muffler (N/A) -----> A$770

TIEN TYPE FLEX DAMPER -----> A$2771

nismo f&r STRUT BRACE BAR -----> A$544

A'PEXi GT Spec RADIATOR CAP (It helps with the pressure dosent it?) -----> A$52

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
