  1. ooo.,. fighting dirty hey? /me slices ska's hands off with oversized t-wing
  2. haha.. me clocks ska over the head with an oversized neon
  3. and i'm taking out the RB25det as its got too much power, and putting an RB20DE in there to make it nice and slow to match... ha
  4. i'm getting a giant t-wing.. with neons mounted on top.. and then i'm going to paint my car bright pink and stick stickers all over it. And 5 subbies and so low it makes sparks as it drives along..
  5. you watched F&F last night just a little too keenly I think Ska I got neons on the inside already
  6. guess i'm 2nd then lol
  7. damn chaos.. you know the secret.. you suck. move the battery then..hehe.. usually what u do is there is a plug with the wires, you pop that out first (carefully), then you take the rubber boot off, and then under that there should be a clip. You just kinda press that in, and that will spring back. Then remove globe.
  8. /me steals medal back and gives to himself no you don't .. i got it now
  9. and you got post 3000.. /hands chaos a meddle
  10. My mate bought a supra basically because it was cool in the movie
  11. well the box is generic and can vary depending on the options shipped with your car so you might not necessarily have all of them. you *have* taken the bulb out and checked it haven't you? Bulbs are $7 from anywhere basically. Its always good when you check and it is the bulb, and you go "phew". I had light probs in my old r31.. cost me $250 or something to get fixed, just for some simply shitty problem.
  12. hmmm... watching f&f again has made me want to get a 400rwkw GTR again damn movies, damn rice, *grumble grumble*
  13. ... lol.. but with a beefy v8 and even more power.. bodykits become even more of a liability!
  14. yeah know the feeling.. kits can be bitches.. this is my 2nd front bar, and when i get the sideskirts fitted my second lot of them. While being low looks shithot and it handles better, sometimes you gotta wonder. Even with plastic you'll scratch the shit out of the paint and crap. also mindflux.. just buy a multimeter ($20) and learn how to use it That will at least allow you to isolate the problem. You basically just stick the probes at different points and check you're getting voltage at each point. Soon as you find the point where there isn't any voltage anymore that is your prob.
  15. oh well john you're not the only one last skidpan day in melb i came out and lost my old front bar... haha. Can take a toll on the car.. mindflux -- there are like relays and things in a separate box (i think) which you could look at. I know in my 33 there are fuses in the back for LHS and RHS headlight, then there are a couple of doovas in the engine bay listed a "LHS healight" and "RHS headlight" in another fusebox for some reason Even the actual light stalk can have probs which causes the lights to act funny. Autoelec will charge you a couple of hundred at least to fix it.
  16. There is no point running 14psi (1bar) just because 14psi > 10psi and sounds better. And everybody is telling you this! and yet you still wish to run 14psi? Basically all turbos have an efficiency range, after which running more boost is mainly doing more harm then good. You may get a whole 5rwkw or so (which you won't notice when driving), but even the extra 4psi you'll notice: * extra heat produced (more in the engine bay, never good) * will take longer to spool up and therefore lag.. although true, bees dick in it * very little power increase over say 10psi. And why trash a perfectly good turbo that you may get $500 for on the 2nd hand market if still in decent condition?? Thats a $500 saving on your next turbo purchase. If you imagine a curve, basically it begins tappering off with diminishing returns each PSI above 10psi or so. Therefore while 1bar is 40% higher than 10psi, you're definitely not going to get 40% more power..more like 5% if that. 10psi-12psi with the stock turbo is generally ample on an RB25DET, and if tuned correctly will give you 170-190rwkw with the setup you've got and its been proven over and over. Thats plenty, and with the other support systems (most importantly tyres and rear end setup), like people are saying, enough for low 13sec 1/4's if thats your thing. Initially everybody thinks "more boost is better" but as you go on and learn a few more things, you find thats not always the case. Like many, I've experimented with higher boost, but everytime i get it tuned, the tuner goes "ba.. why bother, you're getting stuff all extra power" so back to a more reasonable 10psi (@ last dyno 183rwkw) where its been for at least 6 months now.
  17. oh and here I was thinking u were talking about glow in the dark dingers there
  18. what are?
  19. great avatar flux .. lol ooo.. F&F is on.. better go watch it. Isn't it sad that such a bad movie has such a cult following?
  20. fark i think i missed out i want a tshirt.. even if i don't think i can make it unfortunately (as now working, blah) anyhow, if its at all possible to get me one (or i'll be in line if somebody drops out) let me know via PM.
  21. www.gamebiz.com.au my site.. We don't have as many reviews as the other guys, but generally have a few new ones up each week for ps2, xbox, gamecube and PC. Like to keep a high standard
  22. we've got new shitty buttons and things I don't quite know what they are doing!
  23. All I need is a VL turbo manifold, old T3, VLT ECU, dial in some relatively low boost and away I go... this doesn't have LSD either.. (yet ).. anyhow, must not think of modifying the daily driver, must not think of modifying the daily driver! Sure did, n/a's can be made to drift quite nicely. When i went to a skidpan day basically the instructor said "if its RWD, got a handbrake, and at least some go it can be drifted."
  24. haha.. i just spent 2 hours today cleaning up my other car... stupid me thought owning two skylines would be a good idea now i gotta think of the work involved !
  25. pity the wife's rexy is an AWD huh? maybe its safer that way. lol..
