  1. just had my car done by gavin wood on the coast $1200 was not expecting it to be so high but what can i do after reading a few post i would suggest getting your own idler bearings from somewhere and save yourself a few hundred $$$
  2. relax man I had the same problem with my car it will hopefully be a split heater hose as it starts from just above your starter motor cheap to fix just a pain as you have to pull the starter motor out to get at it Hope its nothing worse for you
  3. I like to thank theo for "Misleading" me when i bought my skyline from brisbane street machines. luckily he sold me warranty which paid for most of the problems i had. I would REALLY like to thank all the guys and gals on this forum for arming me with the information to make a better choice next time. As well as the info to get in and work on my car myself.
  4. well done on the video am already looking forward to the next one

  6. My car ia also Auto I find it quite good though technically you are losing a bit of power with the auto then some when its 4wd and its heavier. Its really up to you whether u like auto or not you can always do a swap if its within your budget I have only a small amount of mods and have so far put a WRX of my friends with more mods to shame from a standing start thanks to stalling the auto up.
  7. I have a 92 GTS4 and it has side indicators they are put on as part of compliance so most 89 imports under the 15yo rule wont have indicators If you are looking for mainly drift style driving go the gtst however if you want to drive through mountain roads go the gts4 where the extra traction helps heaps they also hold their value better as they are rarer
  8. "Sorry about that. I thought you were going to overtake the commodore" thats cool It was more so the ppl who would take a look and laugh whilst saying atmo it was funny to begin with but got a bit old I think all gts4's have blue badges though most get changed to red by owners etc anyway mines turbo and a turbo taken from a r33 at that
  9. Well i had a great day despite the early mixup (sorry for all those that followed me on a few laps i had no idea where i was going lucky i had a radio) It was good to see so many skylines in a row whilst driving I look forward to the next one Btw just to clear up one thing despite the blue gt badges on my car it is a turbo have a look under the bonnet b4 you bag something out
  10. condolences to all Family and friends It was upsetting to here the news. I hope everyone will remember this and take time to think about the effect of their actions to themslves and pasengers before driving recklessly.
  11. -Joel- Boost drop off with the RB's is due to a crappy EBC that will not self adjust the duty cycle to achieve the desired pressure OR a the use of a bleeder. Sydneykid Sorry Iopia, can you please explain this? It has been my experience that once the wastegate is fully open (target boost has been reached) the spring in the actuator does nothing. Any boost drop off has been atributable to other factors (too small a turbo, poor flowing cylinder head, restrictive exhaust, etc). I need helsp understanding how the wastegate actuator spring preload helps this Ill try to explainas best i can I am in no way an expert and only reporting my own personal findings. Firstly joel R32's dont have An EBC like 33's and i Have never used a bleeder, having tried the bending etc of a stock actuator i still found the HKS replacement easier to set/adjust and it works better. The stronger spring helps more with quicker boost build up. As wastgate actuator dont just snap open once a set PSi is reached they open slowly up to 100% at the said PSI. In say a r32 which has a 9psi rating the wastgate will start opening around 6psi more so since r32's are getting on a bit now. The stronger spring helps over come this problem it still starts opening but it needs more pressure to do it. As wrxhoon said the stronger spring helps keep the wastegate open when you get higher revs Using the HKS Actuator I found both quicker build up of boost and steady boost till redline hope this helps guys
  12. As an employee of a Playstation retailer i can tell you they have 12 months warranty and having played with the internals of the bigger versions you can see how easy it is to make them more compact mainly moving to an external power supply and a top loading disk tray. Also the external power supply makes it easy for direct DC installations into a car
  13. Hi peter I bought a HKS adjustable actuator and works great It has a stronger spring that factory ones which helps hold boost longer as factory ones can taper off I also noticed its gets on boost sooner as well. cost about $200 and takes a couple of minutes to install. conntact bd4's www.bd4s.com.au or look for a local HKS dealer
  14. sorry to hear the bad news man I hope your back in action with a new wagon soon
