[Excuses]

Car went to RPM for its service and came back with spitties, and a new parker! thanks Brad. put my hose back on!

Good to see Ralf Bodo and Troy again last night,

Troy, your car smells funny, and has pink neons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but otherwise it's pretty beasty, drop around and give that engine bay a damn clean tho, dirty ass bogan.

Anyway, good drive up and down, just boring as hell.. Bodo mentioned a possible Woodford run to the pub, thoughts?

[BrisTroy]

They're purple, and it doesnt smell! Not til u sat in it anyways Def keen for a good run, Woodford may be the ticket

Ok I will bite, why would you put neons under your car ? It's not a civic...(is it a civic?) They are pure wank factor on a street car not to mention the police love them so much.

What was the final power figure on it too, I am curious to know and how did the paint job turn out?

Hahahaha. Yeah......... Sorry Ash. Stupid brain lol.

Clint, you got to see it from a business veiw mate. Saying things in that context, on a forum, whether you are wanting another opinion or not, doesn't read too well to the rest of the members on the site. We have spent endless hours speaking to you and giving you plenty of options to try and work within your budget, which is exactly what we do for every customer that walks into the shop. We are a close net workshop so we work big on customer service and advice.

I am struggling to see why you would spend 1k on a "trail and error" scenario, as it sounds, to end up where?? In affect it's similar to the PFC you already have. And what I meant by a hand granade, is it seems you are only interested in making more power and not thinking it through properly about the consequences. The performance game isn't for the faint hearted, you want power and reliability, unfortunatly it all comes with a price tag. The air flow meter you supplied us wasn't a genuine z32, and we have seen a few of these coming through lately that have a short life span. A leason to be learnt by all that buy cheap nasty parts over the real deal. With a genuine AFM and a touch up on the tune to suit that, will solve your issue as we explained to you last time. And no it's not another "$1200 tune" as put you it, it includes the price of a new AFM. If you like I can have a look at the price of the Z32 I have and let you know exactly the price.

On a positive note, yes you have sent a few members from here to us, and we have appreciated the extra work you have brought us, so don't think that what you have done has gone sight unseen.

[Excuses]

Lol np brad, just scared the f out of me. I've started cleaning it up, was due for a clean anyway.

@Clint, it's multi colored! Neon rainbow

I Had a good yarn with Pete earlier tonight about possible options for the car moving forward, Positive decision was reached that we are both keen to get a result out of.

I always appreciate the time both you and Peter take to talk shop with me and show me what your doing with other cars that is something most shops don't bother with.

I have tracked down the receipt for that air flow meter and I am having a few words with the supplier about it's "genuine" listed title I can assure you, Some of the time the part is not necessarily a cheap purchase but a dodgy online seller that marks it as the genuine article so that the less educated (myself Included in this case) are taken advantage of.

If anyone has mistaken my looking at other options as a lack of faith in your's or Peter's skills I am happy to point out that this is not the case, I have a great deal of faith in both of your skill sets and the advice that you provide is always taken on board even if sometimes my lust for power clouds my better judgement.

Are they? I like the bright lights.. Just wish u had went a tad brighter haha.

So when we planning on doing the wood ford run? I'm in early shift this weeken then 2 weeks arfternoons

[116.hks]

Hey guys if you want good bright lights, say HID, I can arrange that for you. One of my suppliers do an affordable set that you can even get parts for. Fitted a set the other day to a 34 and look great. I have a set that I trailed from ebay for RnD, well lets just say they are getting swapped out for a set of these soon. The kits start out at around $140.00 plus fitting. Let us know if ya interested.

Once my house is built I'll be looking at the lights for sure, hopefully Xmas pres to myself this year.

Tried convincing my partner she should buy my dump pipe fr my first fathers day... She just laughed at me /sigh

[boiracer]

i would have gone for HID's but they are illegal on a car that didn't come with them as an option, and i don't want any more popo attention. its ridiculous with my quiet standard car as it is.

i got the brightest non blue headlights that Phillips sell. they are awesome. but for some reason the drivers one is slowly moving skyward

[Excuses]

Which type are they? I think I got the one below yours. Not bright enough for me:/

Skyward? The bulb or headlight? What a pain that'd be

Might order that gear knob today bodo ago when it's arrives I'll give ya a ring

[116.hks]

My wife and I have been driving around with these in our cars for a couple of years now and not once been harrassed by popo. What I have found with HID's is that the headlight can/need to be adjusted slightly down towards the road so it doesn't shine in the eyes of on coming traffic. I use to run the Crystal visions in both cars and they were a fantastic light as an upgrade, but I wanted more light. The way i look at it is if the police are going to pull me over for my lights, i'd rather the fine for that then what they find under the bonnet lol. Another way to look at it is that all mods done to a car are classified as illegal anyway, whether you have mod plates or not, as the vehicle was not manufactured with that part. The thing that gets me flared up is that most parts that most of us put on our cars are improving handling, braking or sight capabilities, which go hand in hand for the mods that get done to the car.

yeah man no worries, and i assume its the adjuster within the light....or the bulb has fallen out somehow? lol

agreed man, and its good to hear you dip your HID's a bit...nothing more annoying than that blind HID feeling.

but i'll still give it a miss for now, i get far more attention than I'd like already for no reason what so ever.......my loud old bug is lower louder, more modified and far more illegal than my liner....and i only got pulled over a few times in that. most of them for good reason (young hoon i was back then...)

[Excuses]

Hooning in a bug, definately an achievement! Instead of the commo hoons you have the bug hoons.

So I started cleaning the car, when I noticed the power steerin reservoir was cracked at the stem(forgive my unknown car knowledge) the thinner hose that leads down towards the bottom end. Not the hose that leads to the pump itself.

They are both the same yea? It's gotta be surely lol.. Anyway, so that stems cracked off and now the hose it's just sitting there, waiting for the new reservoir from eBay to rock up. Fun fun, I hope it's here before Thursday else I will be out of the meet:(

Turbo has a little play, hoping it will last out untill I do a rebuild on it or a clean swap. Other than that it's looks pretty small for my liking

I'll let yas know when I get it, hopefully it comes tommorrow or weds and then she can get put back together. Fun fun

[SCR48]

Ive found that the turbo on any car is usually to small for the owners liking

[Excuses]

Brad,

The HID lights u do, is it 120 each or 120 for the set, with it aimed slightly lower? I wouldn't mind seeing the in person, youtube does not do much of a favour towards it.

[116.hks]

Hey man, they start at around $140 a set. The 34 I done they other day was a bit fiddly and ended up just under the $300 fitted. I think compared to the philips kit availabe, cost being close to $700 just for the kits, they are quite good. When I pull my finger out of my ass and get around to putting them in mine your more then welcome to check them out if your not sure. I'll just make sure the cars at work for you.

Yeah it's actually hard to get decent photos and footage of them to get an idea of what they really look like. I don't have anything to show how they look, all I can tell you is when they have warmed up they produce a nice bright white light, not bluey light like some do. I set them up so they shine torwards the road if they are to high.

[Excuses]

Well no reservoir yet, so I won't be able to make the meet tonight /cry

[SCR48]

After a lOng week, it's finally sorted. New 3076 upgrade didn't go as planned and only made 302hp... Supposedly fuel in it didn't have enough timing and they had to wind the power down to avoid it pinging...

Car goes back on rollers Tuesday for a retune...
