Ah yeh, that would have been jamie with the s14 sil, nice car his, 250kw at the treads on his little beast.

Yeh, I've done a lot to the car since then.. I've been considering selling it as I'm moving to bris in 2 weeks =p I haven't decided on anything yet. The thought of parting with it just kills me though... I am in the process of getting a new front and rear bar and new bonnet. Have to get the damn headlights cleaned, but looks like it would take an entire day to do!

When's the next cruise?

hey guys, I've just moved back to Toowoomba and recently brought myself a 33 gtst. Any suggestions on where I can get the guards rolled so I can lower it? Cheers.

wb. I've had previous cars done at garden city tyres, they seem to do a pretty good job. Can't comment on anyone else

I've heard good things about PlastiX and Meguairs. I have some friends at Diamond Detailers that said they can buff out the headlights... so was thinking about doing it that way. I know they have to be heated to 100 celcius to warm the glue to pry open the headlights... ubt just want to get the discharge cleaned.

I have to work on sundays, but I am moving to brisbane on the 20th of this month.... heh

I had the shits and went into mine with 2000 wet and dry, then polished them out with plastx. Didn't have a buffer so it was by hand and took a good 2-3 hours. Even whacked a coat of clear over them to get a bit of longevity.

ha.. ha. No i haven't even been looking yet, I've seen poncams with 254 and 264 duration that retain the vct something like that would sound tuff.

thinking its cheaper to buy a used de now and slot the whole engine in as mines done a lot of ks.

To be honest mate, you're probably not wrong there, would be a lot cheaper lol its just the work that would piss you off!

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?

      Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)

      +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
