:) 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.

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.

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      By Dylannn · Posted

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
