  1. coz i can just as easliy weld one up in light steel, sand it back, and polish it, make it look shmicko, and i'll have fun doing it.
  2. I'll be making a master brake cylinder brace when i have holidays. warhoo! that'll be cool!
  3. Nothing when I changed it, but I don't know, I'm on holidays next week so I've got a few weeks to play with the car. I'll take a look then... It feels like clutch slip, but it's not coz that's brand new and hold up nicely under power
  4. it's my 21st soon, so i gots an EBC, an AFCII, and a oil catch can coming soon.. woot!
  5. tut tut..
  6. in the dry i mean when i say slippery as hell. I go around a corner and plant it, the revs shoot up. car flicks around a bit then gets going. almost feeling like you break traction then get it back, but you're not. both wheels are firmly stuck to the road...
  7. nope, it was doing it beforehand. and i filled it up till it was full and was spewing out the side...so ner!
  8. i slips and only bags up one wheel in the wet. i made a thread in the maintanence section... *sigh* noone knows jack about it.
  9. i havent done anything to the diff. it's just slippery as hell...
  10. ahh, what turbo is it ? bolts on existing manifold im assuming ? i need to fix my diff dammit.... grr!
  11. aidwin got a new turbo already ? he only _just_ went thru the pits like last week ?
  12. OH yeah.... sure am. p.s. that chick that works at famous is quite the hottie
  13. yeh, that's the one okay, i got the wrong end of the stick then *sigh* anyway, i'm off to pay my last insurance payment with the bloodsuckers formerly known as f*mous insurance l8r whores.
  14. ah, just somethin bayley said made me think you two finally hooked up is all
  15. Nizmo + Vpsec ? did I miss something?
  16. sure did easy as pie
  17. You're GT Wing is providing too much downforce on the right side of your car just kidding mate check your cabling under the dash, mine did that when I hooked up stuff to my high-beam dash illumination wire
  18. Yup, all dry conditions... When I put my foot down I can torch up 2nd gear but it feels like only one wheel is spinning... then into 3rd I can torch up also but still feels like only one wheel
  19. I'm happy with my $25 Hurricane filter and my Cold Air Intake
  20. Thanks macka Might take you up on that offer in a few weeks (when I'm on holidays!) I can show you this stupid diff problem too Timing light has been around a few years but it looks real expensive, don't know how much the old man paid for it
  21. HICAS diagnostics say everything is fine.. This is definitely unsafe though. Can't I just get it welded closed by a diff guy ?
  22. I've noticed this for a while now, when putting the power down around a corner, the car would rev a touch higher and would jerk around. I am not breaking traction, nor am I going sideways. It almost feels like the clutch is slipping, but I've had that replaced about 1000km's ago with a ceramic plate jobbie, that fixed up old mr slippery-launch! Now when driving, changing lanes while putting the power down, the car flicks-back into the other lane quickly, almost like I'm recovering from traction loss.... But i'm not. I put the car up on jacks (the entire rear-end) and noticed how the wheels spinned when i turned them manually. I can turn the wheels in any direction and the other wheel will follow suit SLOWER. I can also hold back one wheel while I turn the other. The drive shaft is still turning when I hold one wheel back. It is obviously a touch stiffer when I hold one wheel back, but I can still turn it. I thought an LSD was supposed to force each wheel to turn the same etc ? and you can't hold it back ? (can you?) I've recently replaced diff oil with Castrol LSX90 (the best stuff for LSDs apparently) What is happening ? What usually wears out on a diff to make this happen ? How can it be fixed ? Can I just take it to a Differential specialist and tell him to weld it locked ? Cheers Guys, -Kym.
  23. James, Go the extra fold and get the Xtreme ceramic clutch..... well worth it
  24. If adjusting the bleed valve does nothing, you probably have it on backwards... There should be an arrow indicating pressure flow -> wastegate, check this before you take it to a shop.
  25. Okay guys, I'm getting misfiring under load while on boost, and I fear it's pinging also, I've never heard pinging before, but it's very faint and hard to hear over the pod's sucking noise. My question is, How do I use a timing light to check the timing degree's ? there is three connectors coming out of my timing light... One set goes to the battery, One is the inductive pickup the other is an alligator clip which used to go somewhere on the coil in my old-old car my question is: where do I connect these on the skyline ? It's a 1995 model, so it doesn't have the large ignitor module at the top-back of the plug covers. it just has two electrical connectors together. Do I clip in on the entire loom, or one wire in that bunch ? How do i tell what the base timing is? in Degrees ? The main cranky thing has (i think) 5 notches marked on it, the far left is yellow and the other 4-5 are white. how do i line these up and retard-advance timing ? what's the deal ? any help would be greatly appreciated
