  1. The pics look quite convincing that it is a genuine 12,xxx km car and if that's the case $100k is cheap for that.
  2. Don't know if you can see that link if you are using the app. Try Web view if you can't.
  3. Also quite competitive around corners. Take a look at john richardsons r33 gtst. That thing shows up more fancied machinery regularly including lots of evos. Car set up and driving skill goes a long way.
  4. I don't think the fitting would require replacement, just the copper washer. Autobarn should carry them, if not try a pirtek or similar. Annealing definitely helps as it allows the washer to be crushed nicely and provide a good seal imo.
  5. Would like to know also. I saw this listed for sale on Gumtree of all places a little while ago and thought to myself WTF. I hope that was a joke of some sort...
  6. Yeah nah, you need more RB in your life but I won't argue against a C63 either. Do both, lol
  7. As above, unless you have money to burn. I have gtt brakes on mine, they work well and fit under the stock axis 18 inch wheels, just. Caliper has a few mm clearance to the spokes.
  8. Edward Lee's is upset you killed one of his 'low km' engines[emoji22]
  9. Iacv purchased, SAU delivers once again thanks Ad's[emoji106]
  10. Pm'd
  11. Hey guys, need an iacv for my 33, pulled mine off the other day for a clean but the diaphragm is missing a chunk. If anyone has a spare complete unit in good condition lying around pm me. I'm in Melbourne but willing to pay post from interstate. Cheers Bill
  12. Going to supercheap and getting 45° degree silicon joiners right now. Lol.
  13. Since its all fixed, why not go back to e85? Checkbuzz runs a gt3076 52t with return flow cooler on e85. Makes 320rwkw and full boost at 3200 rpm. Yes 3200 rpm. I would expect that figure to rise a bit with a quality cross flow cooler. I run an old blitz lm return flow on e85 and highflow 21u making 312rwkw. Air temp even at the track never goes over mid 30's unless ambient is above that. After a run I have touched the inlet to the cooler with was hot enough to almost burn, the outlet was cool as a cucumber. So they do a good job cooling but I believe flow/pressure loss may be the limiting factor. Keen to see results of this experiment especially on 98.
  14. Watching x 2
  15. Yep talk to tuna and go from there.
  16. Im not familiar with the software for power fc and not sure if the ac could be disabled from there, maybe someone else can chime in there but when I had a similar issue with my ac compressor not kicking in, it turned out to be the thermistor which is a temp sensor that sits in the ac core and tells the compressor when to turn on and off. Was just a bad contact on the plug. cleaned it, put it back together and has been fine since. This particular plug can be accessed by removing the glove box and backing plate, it is mounted to the top left of the white box, Its a bit tight but reachable. Should only take 5-10 mins to get to it and check. As far as the ecu goes, maybe give your tuner a quick call and ask.
  17. As above. Looks like your going to have to remove box to find out. I was in this position once and was also reluctant to remove box , when I finally did and starting unbolting the pressure plate, it rained broken clutch plate on me. I guess it didn't like 2nd gear burn outs.
  18. Possibly collapsed mufflers also.
  19. I'm going to go with wastegate issue. Needs more preload or stiffer actuator. Top end is dropping to 16psi. If it could hold 20 you would probably make 285kw on 98 and that would be around the expected power for the setup. I run an older type blitz return flow cooler also with just a high flow 21u and there is no issue holding 19psi flat to red line. A conventional cooler would be better but it still does the job pretty well. I'm also running a crappy Nismo exhaust, car sounds like a vacuum cleaner on steroids.
  20. This is very true and I agree. In this case gapping the plugs down is a good way to determine whether the ops problem is spark related or elsewhere. Analysing the condition of the plugs can also help to determine the offending cylinder.
  21. Wow, was wondering what was happening here. I'm surprised you waited this long. Does said tuner have any reason why your car is being neglected?
  22. I think the answer may be yellow jackets. Try gapping your plugs down to 0.8 and see if it stops the problem. Try putting some lube on the threads of the plug that is tight and then work it gently back and forth and hopefully it frees it up. Good luck.
