hahah yeah ill want that too

with my new gearbox

well for $500.00 for the best shift kit i can get in mine. im happy.

that way if the box eventually gives up, i send it to him he rebuilds/upgrades the box for $2000....im happy with that

especially if Cihan's got something in mind for Trans ECU mapping like ironpaw said..

yeh. although my plugs in the car were pretty new, they were changed on complianced which im told is rare..

Damn. My compliance shop didn't even change the bloody oil. :rant: Stuff that came out was fairly black goddamit.

Lucky for me I changed it /trans oil/oil filter/plugs/air filter/and drained the rad water, and filled it up with the real stuff..... :rolleyes:

Damn. My compliance shop didn't even change the bloody oil. :rant:

lol they changed oil belts plugs power steering brake fluid.. pretty much everything except the transmission oil.

Im kinda glad they didnt change the trans because if they put the wrong oil in i may well be f**ked!

Edited by AaronNM35

neither did mine!!

removed all the good stuff though

i spoke to them prior to compliance and said i'd much rather a way you get around keeping all the goodies..

especially the remote start..

why cant they get rid of HICAS on compliance lol

Just some quick notes on the fitment of the 'power duct' to my NM35.

1. It makes more of a turbo induction noise on boost which I like. Keeps everyone guessing

2. Following a truck with hay bales on the drive over to S.A. means your air filter gets straw in it

3. Easier to see how dirty the filter is!

4. Economy I would hazard a guess is slightly better. I'm getting 550 to a tank of around 60-65L driving in peak hour.

Also, the Tanabe's coil overs are going well. Still wallowing a little (shock damper rate is lower than the springs require I would assume). Corners like it's on rails! Quite neutral with some understeer with light throttle.

Anyone know if the Autech Axis model has aftermarket sway bars? Me thinks so.

i stole mine off my sisters v35. good thing i did too.. she wrote the bugger off!

Ok, better say what I have done somewhat lately - Tiptronic was reversed, to stop me changing down gears...

GB sway bars I put on last weekend, and Lowered Eibach springs went on earlier this week- waitin on 19" Rims, lowered ,the 17 " stockies look.... ridiculous! Car handles Amazingly for simple upgrades, much more faith in it.

R32 GTR brakes are waiting for the new wheels to come along, so I can stop properly :thumbsup:

Picked up a Z33 midpipe today from Northshore Prestige (thanks Guys). Thats an upgrade to the massive/quiet centre muff that on there. Apparently just got to get it extended 6 inches...

Awesome to see some upgrades for the PM Alex!

Anyone know what the Tein Super Wagon's are like? Harsh as f**k?

There's a bit of anti Tein sentiments here ain't there? :teehee:

No, not at all.

From all accounts they are a very, very good kit but when there are other excellent kits floating around and cost considerably less, well I guess that's why most of us don't have them.

I still would like to buy a set of Teins. The price was crazy last time I looked though.>_<

Also:

Are you guys talking about crap brakes on the stag because you:

1. Have crap pads?

2. Do heaps of braking/accel during 'spirited' driving, and the brakes can't dissipate the heat soak so you get fade (could be fluid related though)?

3. Just want bling?

I would really like to know!

I've done a few bedding in stops to bed the pads properly into my machined rotors (stupid compliance workshop....), and it pulls up a treat now. ABS works too! :thumbsup:

I've also changed the fluid from DOT3 over to my ELF semi-racing fluid that I use in the Datto.

Im going to go the route of new rotors & pads shortly, but stock calipers. Will see how it goes, I wont be 'tracking' my car so I dont think I reallllly need big f'off brakes.

Would be interesting to see a comparison between R33 / Brembo / Stock in pull up distances from 60km/h. Doubt it'll happen though.

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
