:) hey guys,

just thought would be a good idea to make a thread in which u tell everyone ur new mods?

like new sound systems, exhausts, rims, etc.... just to help each other out in getting the best prices?

everyone likes a good bargain so maybe this could be a really good thing.

so i guess i'll start!

i got 4 tyres 235/40zr18's with 80% tread from injektd belconnen for $250

then jax quickfit tyres tuggeranong fitted all four and gave me an extra 235/40zr18 and all new wheel nuts for $100

hope this helps some people out lets get this cranking!!

peace.

Oh and my latest mod... hmm been a while but my tein suspension from fulcrum was about 2300 with installation and tuning, not a terrible deal but probs cheaper going through Slide for the parts then paying Fulcrum for the labor.

My next purchase is a replacement heavy duty clutch, can get them for 380ish from Slide.

Then i want a C's short Shifter, they go for about 300ish i think.

Then i want dba 4000 slotted rotors.

Then i want... Ah the list will never end

temp sensors from autobarn you can use ford something ones, cant recall with type of ford, you will also have to change the plug to make it fit. But much much cheaper

I may have an old one lying around, will have a look when I get time, I may have also given it away already though

haven't had any issues with mine and i've done my fare share of trackdays....

And I hope you never will, touch wood. There's just been so many occurances on track cars of them cracking , and not just people bitching, for me to not warn others. DBA themselves do not recomend them to be used for track cars.

Bilstein suspension kit with swaybars etc from Elite QLD for $1920 (selling my Teins). Basically a Sydney Kid kit but delivered inside a week, and with progressive king springs instead of whitelines.

haha nice.

any1 know...would it be better to source a lsd locally or go over the net? im looking at getting a 1.5 way kaaz or nismo and wondering if net would be cheaper...or is there anywhere local that sells them at a good price.????

i'd go jsut jap but dont know if they have 1.5 way as not on their site.

Buy on the net Gus, you wont find a better price locally.

By the way, you will be much happier with a Nismo 1.5 Lsd over a Kaaz, they're much more street friendly and are much smoother to drive... Its worth spending the extra cash.

:wacko:

would you recommend getting the adjust. nismo one or just the normal.

Are you planning on racing?

-- If you are then go for the adjustable one.

-- If not, the standard one will be fine for the street.

You have to remember that Mechanical LSD's require a lot more maintenance than regular diffs, so the life of your new Nismo LSD depends heavily on how well you treat it.

Nismo 1.5's are easy to live with, just a bit of chatter around town, but not a lot. Can't comment on the Kaaz.

One thing I love is the way it hooks up and drives when you accelerate. None of this steering correction etc, it drives straight cos both wheels are doing the same amount of effort. Even exiting a roundabout [once your used to it] it tracks brilliantly.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
