  1. I had heaps of white smoke, only seen when the car couldnt burn the fuel, so if you putt along its all fine, but if you put ur foot down you see smoke Sumo
  2. Hey man, my car did the same thing, but to my suprise I had burnt off 4 of the 6 electrodes off the spark plugs.... And with this hot weather - it might be that. just check it out... saves you going for a new turbo if that is the problem Sumo
  3. the belt thats on glimmor drives is about 3-4 inches wide, you see the glimmer come up on the supercharged cars with the charger out the bonnet. (big fat belt on a big arsed pulley with big teeth)
  4. Never heard a bloke more passionate about his mum Sumo
  5. "the fix was simply an oil change with special penzoil" lol, sorry man but I cant help but laugh Sumo
  6. what I think he is trying to say is you would feel no difference between 20-25psi if the turbo is way outta its effiency range. all it would be doing is heating the air. Sumo
  7. Meril: does the sulphur have an effect on your engine? I thought it may contaminate your oil or something like that.... The instant power would cause a bit of blow-by? And nitrogen, wont that turn into an acidic if you dont clean your donk out after a few runs with N2O?
  8. beautiful car.... wish my 33 had the same amount of power
  9. Nice mate, will keep an eye out to see how you go with it.
  10. the power limit would be like the amount of torque a patrol can throw out, plus its in a 2 ton vehicle. But I still wouldn't take it past the other daiken exedy H/D limits which are rated @ 450hp - I reckon they are a bit overrated powerwise. Sumo
  11. lol, they are having a lend of u man
  12. never looks sus when some bloke is walking round the car park with a hacksaw and a pair of bolt cutters.
  13. Oh man.... If only you could take revenge, I would be completely satisfied if I got to break their legs. $25 for a replacement badge, 2 broken legs - priceless Sumo
  14. wheres the pics??? Sumo
  15. Freebaggin: im no expert but I thought the garrent turbos were out of their effiency range at 20-22 PSI, I could be wrong, but I thought thats was where the difference was between your HKS and garrent turbos? Garrents make their power on lower boost and HKS make theirs up higher? Sumo
  16. gts4_fun: the R33 GTS4 missed out on all the goodies, e.g. turbo/brakes/ 5 stud wheels. Or am I confusing it with a GTS.... its too early in the morn Sumo
  17. Like to see you enforce that law :Bang:
  18. nmcmahon: your the bloke thats on the silvia forum? good luck with the skyline... It shouldn't dissapoint you. Sumo
  19. 290 foot pound = 393 Nm
  20. Genuine- $98 timing belt $160 water pump $90 for the tensioner I think someone said they paid.
  21. Read a funny sig yesterday it went something like "having the XR8 buldge in the bonnet is like putting socks in your undies"
  22. lol Lock up ya daughter, lock up ya wife... The man is back in town - Im TNT
  23. Zahos: only other thing, is it could be a slipping drive... you know when you start an old ford and the starter will spin, but will not turn the motor over. Like it will whiz away but nothing happens? the drives do wear out too, they have a rachet inside them that will wear out and not lock properly. Best bet would be to get someone to rebuilt it with, new bushes (could be bearings, I have not seen inside an R33 starter - but I doubt it), drive and a set of brushes. Your heart will be at rest then if the sqeualing doesnt stop, you'll know to spend money elsewhere. Where I work we cannot diagnose intermittent working drives in our test bench, as we cannot load them up as much as an engine would, we have to listen to them on the car and say what the problem would most likely be. Sumo
  24. from what i've read 200rwkw is not at all out of reach for the RB20
  25. I paid $450 for a daiken exedy clutch, and fitted myself with a mate Sumo
