Ive been outbid for these GTT R34 guages, so if anyone wants some gauges for their Series 1, here they are! (ebay item 4578449632)

Brendan

you should buy a set of orange ones ian...

then i can buy your ones.....

i reckon it would look tops on your car :)

Hmmm, how stupid am I feeling today.. :-)

Damn that blue S2 Stagea looks FINE!

:O

Yep - I got it for the wife, but I've ended up driving it myself quite a bit.. :-) Bayside Blue (BB), what other colour would you want... :-)

Though I reckon muck's looks pretty good as well (for one that isn't BB), it's in the "Super clear red II" (correct me if I'm wrong) - you should post some picks of it.

Ian

Splitfires; Are they worth the cash?

Im in the middle of doing boost modifications (get my Apexi 'cooler & RB25 Neo turbo in the next fortnight), so should I be spending decent wadfuls of greenbacks to do the leads also (also considering Ive got an Apexi SITC ready to go on).

Opinions? Ive got 8k to go on the stage, but 5k has already been gobbled up!

Cheers, Brendan

Well I found that the stock coils on my r33 died after I went above 12psi, well they were fine until I hit ~4500rpm and then would cough and splutter. I whacked in a set of these and didnt have a problem after that.

There are a lot of different opinions about stock coils vs splitfires, but I have had only good experiances with splitfires.

My 2cents, dont buy them until you need them. And make sure you identify the coils specifically as a problem before you buy splitfires as what seems to be coils might be another problem, and buy splitfires might cover-up other issues, but then again I am by no means a mechanic, nor do I know much about cars or motors, just typing from experiance.

Excellent feedback, cheers Ska. Ive read a list of mods on your Stagea, so was intrigued to see what you thought of them. I'll keep my Paypal account closed for now then!

Well, I got an Apexi 'Hybrid' fmic from ebay Japan (good for 400hp), with the C-bend style end tank so that the pipe comes back behind the 'cooler and into the standard holes. Costing me $500 courier delivered (so I'll be selling the R34 'cooler in around 6 weeks), but looks to be in very good condition.

Add on to the Stagea the Neo turbo/actuator & Z32afm Ive picked up from forum members, and we should be laughing once its all dialled in on the new SITC and SAFC (both off ebay).

Its a good way to buy (off these forums & from ebay) but its also good to know if what you're buying will be of benefit (jury's out at the moment on the fmic with custom pipes, but we'll see...............)

  • 3 weeks later...

just a note to anyone be scammed out of 8$ by buying workshop manuals off ebay - theyre just selling the same manuals that have been floating around the internet for ages, making money off people who dont know any better.

hope this helps. sure people are already distributing the copyright material for free, but to make money on it crosses the already mostly crossed line...

    • Jump into the wasteland. Plenty of random posting/chatting going on in there.
    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • Yeah go with that one
