    Adjust coilovers to a practical height.
  2. GTofuS-T
    How confusing! Was it just an option back then?
  3. GTofuS-T
    only S2 had ABS
  4. GTofuS-T
    Yes it would work. How it would sound is another issue. I'm sure if you went in to JB hifi where they have headunits, amps and speakers set up, you could ask them if you can plug your phone directly into the amp to test. might have to bring your own 3.5mm>RCA cable or buy one there
  5. GTofuS-T
    The only tricky part now that i think of it, is you normally wire the power direct from the battery, and then there's a signal wire from the head unit which actually turns it on, so this signal wire I'm guessing you could wire up to an ignition or acc source to achieve the same thing

    Should be pretty easy and cheap or as expensive as you want to go depending on brand 3.5mm to RCA: <$10 https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-home-entertainment/tv-accessories/belkin/belkin-essential-stereo-rca-to-3-5mm-audio-cable-2-0m/357294/ a 2-channel amp: $89 this will only run a small sub or 2 x speakers as you've mentioned https://www.jbhifi.com.au/gps-car-audio/amplifiers/pioneer/pioneer-gm-a3702-2-channel-bridgeable-amplifier/318026/ and then your pick of speakers that fit, I"m guessing 6" usually in the front, there's not really much else to it, except a wiring kit and possibly some RCA female to male cables depending on where you install the amp.

    All these negative comments I could understand if you were going from an actual sequential gearbox with all the bells and whistes, to a standard box with this kit on it. Anyone who is only used to the ol' H-pattern on the track is still going to have clutch on accel off muscle memory and an idea of their rev range, unless they are literally retarded. The benefits I can see are: the shifter location, i.e. closer to the steering wheel for those who aren't sick leb dream boats that drive with one hand on the gearknob at all times for that phallic sensation. reinforces the practice of downshifting through the gears, rather than say from 4 to 2, minimises the memory requirement of the current gear, especially when you're mixing it up, trying 2nd instead of 3rd at a slower corner to keep the revs up for example, and the gearknob is some 10 to 15cm south west of where you thought it was of course all this still requires the driver to be actively thinking about what they're doing, which to be quite honest, that's literally your one job while driving, is to think about driving. So for my shitty track car worth <$5k am I going to spend $20+k on a sequential? hell no, $1.5k on a lever? much more likely

    @PranK can probably help you out with that!
  9. GTofuS-T
    Yeah I'm pretty sure they shut down, @Cadmoon can confirm. I've maintained my SAUNSW membership since moving to QLD, shouldn't be an issue
  10. GTofuS-T
    Wow, do you know what the catalyst for going viral was?
  11. GTofuS-T
    he is just 1 man, start a GB thread to gauge actual forum wide interest perhaps?
  12. GTofuS-T
    What do you expect us to know the psyche of all the police in your unknown location? I've been pulled over 3 times this year in a bucket looking Skyline, bucket seat, loudish aftermarket exhaust, fmic, gauges, etc. acted like a reasonable human being and they didn't once even glance at my car. Other people get completely raped. Alternatively the fine should be a published number in your states road laws, try doing some research. Wait i see you're posting in QLD, 1 point $126. The higher costs will be they'll go over your whole car and make a list of defects (which they'll fine you for each non-conformance) then you'll have to have rectified , verified, re-registered, etc. https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/fines/demerit/points#modifications

    If only I could remember important shit

    This is what keeps my R33 relatively standard, the amount of top dollar builds on this forum alone that have multiple continuous track days ruined by little things happening, it's just not worth it (for me), unless someone else is footing the bill. 9 track days in the last 12 months, 1.5 hr drive to and from the track (in the car), no major issues, improved times each session from experience & happy Each to their own though, If i had the room like you do, and it's obviously not being used for the summer, then i'd probably go for it. But also removing a manifold would be way easier than removing an engine? although leaning over the car for hours working on it is a pain and I think you said you had back issues?
  15. GTofuS-T
    OR go with number 4, cause let's be realistic, once you have a bare engine to play with, you're gonna be like "may as well go forged since it's sitting there and easy to disassemble".. next minute your'e send the head off to NAPREC and engine build takes 2 years so flog the current one to death. Don't even bother changing the turbo cause may as well save the cash and just buy an EFR for the new build
  16. GTofuS-T
    after all the shit you've given SR's you can't do this I'd go for 2 over 4, if it's off season and don't need it running (i.e. daily) while you prep it then why go through the hassle of buying an unknown engine? and then also having to deal with shit kickers lowballing you when you go to sell the current engine. But i must be more of a jew, as I'd go with 1. leaks aren't going to kill an engine surely? just keep topping her up and hope for the best. Plus option 2 is going to cause a mass headache, the amount of "just did an engine swap and now it's not firing/running right/etc" threads/FB posts you see is insane. In regards to the turbo water line, checking your thread, looks like a braided hose, was it custom? who made it? it's blowing my be related to itself more than the engine. Just a thought.
  17. GTofuS-T
    Nice, I was looking at these, but already went down the path of a shitty relocation kit. so next time. might just be the photo angle, but looks like that pressure sender will foul the oil line?
  18. GTofuS-T
    I heard he's just going to do burnouts out the front of the event and then launch it into a fence
  19. GTofuS-T
    disappointing your #stance fans with this race car nonsense
  20. GTofuS-T
    This is just going to make people tell you the stock gauge isn't accurate enough track use
  21. GTofuS-T
    This is classic environmental science where if one person increases the standard, all of a sudden everyone else below that standard is the devil. There's no science behind why a particular number is used (i.e. analysis of toxicity, overall emissions, actually air quality in dense areas), and often times it's most likely (as has been the case in underground mining diesel particulate levels) the ability to measure, i.e. when sulphur can be measured to 1ppm, or 0.001ppm, then that will be the new acceptable level. The article doesn't seem to talk about other emissions systems such as Cat Converters, which when you look at Mexico, umm yeah nah don't need one of those.
  22. GTofuS-T
    you're owning your silvia wrong, why the bolt on flares but not stickerbombed?? epic life fail
  23. GTofuS-T
    nah the market will just segregate into "vintage/original/heritage" nismo and new shit, you just wait, hardcore nismo fans are insane
  24. GTofuS-T
    that's only fair when you go from a city with a population of 500,000 to one with 20 million (assuming Beijing)...
  25. GTofuS-T
    lol no, the NBN is being rolled out equivalent to you just saying f**k it and using the cracked o-rings This is EVERY Government funded project
