Meh, it's up to you how you manage your money. But I will never be without my vehicles no matter how big my mortgage is, and know people who can manage this so.

In other news. Clock has turned over. Not saying it.

I will purchase a fg2 turbo with the ZF box one day with all options ticked.... one day... when they're much cheaper. Really love my cars low down 2000-3000rpm torque out of the corners, can only image what it'll be like with fg's 550nm 270kw

You should change your head lights and front bar to series 2. Saw a whole heap of fg series 2 xr's packed at Avis today, really want one bad..

I didn't like the MK2 front bar so went for a mk1 still not sold on those headlights either.. although i must admit that particular pic of front looks ok

either way minimal changes and i cbfed waiting :P

I think I can sum up this thread when I say each to their own. Of course, that would be the end of Vic wasteland...

Merry Christmas...and anyone who takes offence to these words, needs to neck themselves or go back to their country of religious intolerance...which obviously worked out well for them, what with the whole leaving it to escape persecution thing. Then trying to turn this country into that...ahhh Merry Christmas.

lol, it's not wishing death upon people...I think they are IRL trolls looking for attention. If someone told me to have a happy Hanukkah I wouldn't crack the shits at them.

    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
