After the WA cruise yesterday (read: hard driving) i got home and noticed something strange.. I have a drop of oil hanging from underneath my diff...and there is a spot of oil around the bottom of it. Is this anything to worry about? It's obviously leakin from somewhere... what should I do?

Okay, I've removed the stock blow off valve and bolted a metal plate I cut out to size over the intake pipe.... Now, I've gotta block off the return air pipe that's now open. How do you do it ? what did you use to do it? Im afraid my bodgy solution failed and now my car keeps stalling.. grrr! (coz it's open of course)

famous insurance http://www.famousinsurance.com.au (that was hard wasnt it?) Give them a call, and see what they can do Even with your mods like a roll cage Denver

Famous don't care about mods, as long as you tell them. Gave me a dam good price too. They specifically gave me that to beat the RAC price... give them a call, and tell them what HBF quoted.. they should come to the party.. they're loving the business they're getting from insuring imports!

29 young macka ? sheesh! then again, take a look at the bum-shots joe took.. you can definitely see the middle-age spread! (or, so joe told me!) j/k mate!

Sure sure, it's just the fear of photo's of macka's ass that's scaring you off, isn't it?

Happy birthday mate! have a good one hey... oh yeh, i LIKE the line about the postwhores... shame paul and troy couldnt make it hey.. *wipes a tear*

I think we should turn off quick reply, it encourages paul's whoring....

noise like a chicken ? poultry in motion i guess...

I half stand corrected then. Most people are greedy and moreso are the dealers. And $2k for some "special" SKYLINE plates???.... quite the package eh?

Can someone explain the flow of these things ? I wanna DIY my own, to get rid of the coating of oil in my intake system... Could i - In theory, Block the hose that goes to the intake altogether ? Does the engine NEED some oil in the intake ? Has anyone else done a DIY jobbie here ?

Ahhh, good point there Gav.... using the 15yr rule to your advantage. But really, that's another year down the track ey. General query: wasn't there compliance plate shortage for the 32s under the old scheme ? or is that for Gtst's only ?

IMO - and from what i've seen $25k for a 32GTR would get you a cut'n'shut repair job, and upwards of $30-32k will get you a stock good condition 32R... Look around hey. Ask Rhino about his GTR too

but but but, is it possible that it will limit boost ? having a stock cat on 3" exhaust ?

255 rears? F*** that's wide! What rim width you running troy ?

I have the Cat back and front pipe on my car, i'm looking for a dump pipe in the near future.. I'm still with standard cat also. I've heard that not having a high-flow cat can limit the amount of boost you can run with a bleed valve?? ie. My mate got a turbosmart boost controller on his 180, and they said he needed a high-flo cat to get a full 12psi, as it's peaking at 12, then dropping to 10psi ? Any truth in this ? Could explain why my "home-made" jobbie that gave troy 10psi, isn't working on my car (still at 7psi) -Kym.

That's not what you said last night Joe! You were screaming FULL POWER to the vibromaster! FULL POWER! ... then the batteries died. In all seriousness, I can see where joe is coming from, my boost gauge and RSM have slowly loosened restraint over time and have become quite loose when going over large bumps the RSM takes a bow on it's stand. bah! I'd take softer/lower suspension anyday...

eh gad! I've been here since the beginning of SAU (yeh, i didnt even have my 'line then) and on SDU for AGES, and I still haven't got 1000 posts. I'm no postwhore like mike it seems...

i once met a skanky chick who looked like she'd need a "filter box" hehehe

daym Sean, "i'll just fly over check out the imports, then fly home" nice work. you BETTER be taking a camera too !

bleh.. and to think i was going to say "WOW! chick in an import! asl ?"

GOLD it was.... as you could hear me say on the video hehehe

btw: I hold NO responsibility for the last shot on those pics.. JOE TOOK A PHOTO OF MACKA'S BUM!!

Pics are UP guys!! check it: http://hyperwa.com/sau/york/ Just noticed i was visible in one of macka's pics at the hospital too my camera debut (check it ladies!) and the all-valuable joe getting a tetanus shot video is at http://hyperwa.com/sau/york/SAU%20York%20052.avi enjoy guys -Kym

I have KYB Coilovers lowered below legal limit.. I must have the hardest suspension on earth!! I have stock Type-M front bar, and it scrapes on just about everything. the middle of the exhaust scrapes on speed humps at most shopping centres. the rear muffler (it's angled) is FAR too low to reverse upto a kerb efficiently.. bah! but all in all, the car handles like a dream.... looks dam schmick. So i'm happy.
