CanberraR33

u can have bigger better brakes on the front, but obviously at some point the car would do an endo! On the back you'd lock up the back, which would be good for drift I guess!

4NGI3, pinging is never good! If u arn't running too much boost on a hot day u shouldn't get pinging. I use Optimax and have no probs at all. I also get better economy from Optimax

i'd be interested in standard size front discs for a '94 R33 Gts-t depending on $

Yes the fuel in Australia sucks. It sucks a lot! 4GN13 I have heard pretty good things about prestige, and they seem like nice ppl to do business with. I nearly bought a car of them but found one localy just before I ordered it. The benefit of buying local is you know exactly what your getting and you can get a mechanic to look it over. If you import you will get it cheaper but not everyone gets a good import. Most are happy but some are rather disapointed. Of course with the new laws in regards to importing, you will have to get a car in stock form, or pay to have it returned to stock form and the modified parts distroyed. Just something to bare in mind.

it was heaps of fun. Only Dazsta and I came though It was me, Dazsta and a guy in an M3 on the track in our session. There were a fair few bike in the other session which was pretty cool. Very fast! A guy in an open wheeler came latter, it was a cool little beast! I'll post photos soon.

yes I'd be happy. A 2wd dyno would be good enough 4 me!

I use Optimax too

4NGI3: 1. I get about 370km around town, 450km on a highway run. Just did a 220 km tank at Wakefield today! I came from a 2001 Holden Astra that got 650kms around town and 800kms on the highway, plus it had a smaller tank! 2. I reckon if you hit the rear quarter panel it would be $$$. Dunno. Certainly there are a heap of parts around. 3. I do a major service every 10,000kms and an oil & oil filter change every 5,000kms. 4. The constant adiction to mods!

yay, looking good, weather forecast: Partly cloudy Low 11 High 20 No Rain!!! c u all in the morning.

If I was you dude, I'd get the NA and then latter trade up to a turbo. I think a Turbo at 17 is pretty risky. I'm only 19 and have a turbo. I look at some of my friends my age and I think they'd be dead if they had a turbo. It comes back to maturity. I think when you first get your license though having a turbo isn't a great idea. Having lost people I know in car accidents, I'm inclined to tell you to get a few years experience before going down the turbo road. Besides, build up a bit of no claim bonus and It'll drop the insurance down a bit too. Just my 2 cents.

There was a good article in the last HPI comparing the XR6 Turbo to the Supra. They said "The closest thing to a Japanese car to come out of Australia. We can't praise the XR6T any more than that". I think the guy doing the review was a little biased as he owns a Supra, but hey, what can you do? The writer goes on about how the 2JZ-GTE is the greatest and most proven engine of all time, whereas the 240T still has to prove it's self. "The few players in the aftermarket who have tested the 240T engine have come away confused and frustrated with an uncooperative managment system, and intercooler/exhaust systems that are far from optimum". Apparently the LPG spec rods are a must for a serious build-up. They also said that the Ford doesn't like to be revved! All in all though, I think Ford is onto a good thing. However, if I was looking for a sporty family car, I'd still by a WRX!

Where are u getting all that done?

He doesn't have a dyno though.

I get my car serviced at Skyline Performance. Joe is the guy who owns the place. So far so good. He's done a few things for me at no charge like fixing my front bar (it had droped on one side and he made new brackets). All in all no complaints. He was by far the cheapest place I found to get my cam belt changed as well. I haven't had any mods done there yet but his garage is always full of some pretty nice Skylines (and a couple of GTi-Rs & 200SXs etc.).

Okay I think those who are now coming is as follows: Me Dazsta SilverSlyder :burnout:

ok I was having an off day!!! Meet at Shell servo on Northbourne Ave. (next to EPIC) at 7:15am LEAVING SHARP at 7:30am. sorry for the typo, -James :burnout:

Where is Autotech?

Shell: That's cool, cya next time.

That's funny as! It would make a good ad for having a camera on your mobile! -you could of sent the pic to everyones fridge!

I actually ended up replacing the plastic button and the metal contacts with a button I bought from JayCar Electronics. I then just wired that up and it works sweet! Could someone with Admin access please delete this thread. Thanks, James.

Does anyone know of anywhere that could take the lights apart, clean them and reseal as mine leak!

I get the dust problem too. No air-bag either. I just put it down to all the dust storms in Canberra of late.

Looks good! I wana do the same, EBC pads etc. and paint my callipers red. My Dad has EBC green stuff on his WRX and he reckons they are awesome, less break dust as well!

Dunno about the cherp but my factory BOV makes noises

Isn't it one of the ADRs that you can't remove an airbag? Like the cops are going to know that u'r car came with an airbag: "Officer, I think that was an option, I bought the car like this".
