  1. For cold running, have you tried pulling the yellow coolant temp plug off when it's hot? Does the idle increase? I would look at checking/cleaning the plug and replacing that sensor.
  2. 1,000Nm+ torque hahaha, you don't have a diesel engine mate. You shouldn't really take the torque figure seriously on chassis dyno.
  3. I bought one, it's on ebay (from SA).
  4. BCPR6ES (spark plugs) is what you want to run, about $4 each. Have you tried another AFM? Solder fix might fix the issue.
  5. This is the picture I'm talking about. End of the day, get whatever makes you happy and whatever fits inside your guards.
  6. Looking at it again on the computer, it does look like the outer sheared off. Once again, no proof that it's genuine or that it broke during driving. All wheels will eventually break. What is important is how much punishment they can take before failing catastrophically (quality of construction, materials, QA). The main point of this thread is a company that copied designs of other company is having a bitch about imitations being sold. The counter-point is that those fakes are labelled as Rota wheels. End consumer should decide whether cheaping out on a set of look a likes is better than giving money to the people (engineers, designers, back-end staff, sales people etc.) who designed/built the genuine ones.
  7. Those cuts look too clean. Plus, not too hard to find "Lexus style" wheels. Not having a go, but it's important to take these sorts of pictures with an open mind.
  8. As a pair, the standard turbos are capable of spinning up 12psi of pressurised air into the inlet manifold without disintegrating. There is a an RB26 dyno thread, maybe look through that for rough ideas. R34 N1 (Garrett -7) would be a "steel wheeled" equivalent.
  9. Individual tyres will have a range for them. BTW he didn't say that 265 was recommended for 9", but if you see my picture above, it gives a vertical sidewall. I would stay far away from a tyre shop who says 225 is recommended for a 9" wide wheel.
  10. The yellow jackets doesn't fit onto the spark plugs? Did you get the right ones?
  11. Thanks for the info. The thing is, I can go and buy another brand, but if it works just as well as WD40, is there any point in paying more for it (if it costs more)? Hopefully the other brands can provide a stronger product, or one that lubricates better. The graphite stuff sounds good.
  12. The only good thing I can see is that they are a large company, so can hire expensive lawyers to deal with claims. E.g. some douche slammed into the side of my mum's car years go. It was on a busy roundabout, this dude was on an electric scooter for disabled people. The dude was travelling downhill through the centre of the roundabout (yes, through the centre, as if he was a car driving through the roundabout instead of around it, there is a pedestrian crossing in the usual spot next to the roundabout). Douche wanted lifetime care compensation or something, case went for two years. Only problem my mum did was pay the fine for negligence driving (because the police showed up and had to fine someone). Eventually the case was dismissed or something (never heard about it again).
  13. I have never seen an OEM wheel break off like what I posted. Have you? Any pictures? I also like this video
  14. This actually makes a strong point when you think about it Exactly; which is why I kept my GT-R instead of trying to flog it off. I know it will have to go for cheap, already dropped too much money into it and don't want to go cheaper than $15k for it, even though it's not worth that much in the current market.
  15. He wants to transfer the load from the water pump pulley to the alternator .
  16. LOL Are you serious man? Search this thread. Royal Purple is expensive oil, so if you have the cash then go for it. You can use oil that costs half the price and your car will still run fine.
  17. 255/35/18 (what I had before I put those Falkens on) were slightly stretched, 245/40 was even more (both KU31). 235 would be stretch regardless of tyre design lol. All down to preference. 265/35/18 Potenza TS-02 on same 18x10. Note they have rim protector, which gives a more stretched look.
  18. Yes you need engineer's certificate.
  19. Interesting, a circlip (00922-51010) is used instead of a nut to attach to the caster arm studs. I have hope!
  20. This interests me. What brands do you suggest? WD40 is easily obtained as it's available in Supermarkets.
  21. I would like to purchase Moon Car.
  22. This is why I'm switching to LSV. Frak NRMA.
  23. Parents are with NRMA, been with them for 10+ years. Didn't have issues when making claims though. I'm surprised they stuffed you around if your car was a victim in a hit and run.
  24. 265/35/18 Falken FK452 on 18x10 Somehow have to cram 275-wide tyres under 32R guards...
