  1. The only thing I have found with the Malpassi is that you can't put them anywhere near a high heat source, this is generally when they fail. Mine has been on for about 18 months now and I haven't had any issues whatsoever with pressure fluctuations (gauge installed). The only reason I have it because I am at the limit of my injectors and I wanted a little bit of insurance. I know I should get larger injectors, but at the moment I'm happy with what I have.
  2. It's only held on by 2 10mm bolts and 2 hose clamps. It's a tricky bugger to get out but if you remove the rear clamp first, then the bolts you'll have a little room to move it around to gain access to the front clamp. There's nothing to the valve, just a little gate on the inside.
  3. Let us know of the delivery speed, that's where it counts sometimes. No use ordering a part you need ASAP and waiting 4 weeks for it to be delivered.
  4. Also shocks will take a little time to bed in and settle so the height that they're at now will lower slightly.
  5. Try bleeding the clutch. You may have had an airlock.
  6. A sign of things to come....................
  7. If it's for a GT-R, it won't be a perfect fit as GT-R's have wider guards than GT-T's. In saying that, if you really like the bar you can have it modified at any bodyshop who can work fibreglass. I have a GT-R front bar on my 32 but I have a little experience with fibreglass and I modified it to suit. If you have the will though, there is always a way. Good luck on what you decide man.
  8. I agree, it sounds like a slipping belt or alternator/AC compressor bearings.
  9. Have a look in here man, this should tell you everything you need to know. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/RB...sions-f184.html
  10. Not on a right hand turn, but when a mates came on, his fluid was low in the reservoir in the boot.
  11. I've had one for nearly 2 years and not had any issues. Maybe some others have.
  12. Check to see if any of your vacuum hoses are cracked at the ends or disconnected.
  13. Most modern fuel injected cars run a fuel pump in the tank and run much more fuel than is needed to the fuel rail. A regulator keeps a certain amount of fuel pressure in the rail and then sends the rest back to the tank. Your car as well as most fuel injected cars have a one to one fuel regulator. It varies the fuel pressure by watching manifold pressure. It uses a diaphragm to control pressure. Most Nissans at idle (vacuum) fuel pressure is 34psi and at full throttle (No vacuum in theory) 43psi. If you further put pressure (turbo or super charger) to the manifold, it further increases fuel pressure. In factory regulators, for every pound of boost, it adds a pound of fuel psi. Hence 1 to 1. Most adjustable regulators are still one to one or close to that, however you can adjust the pressure at idle or full throttle for fine tuning. There is one other type of regulator that is used with aftermarket forced induction, these are rising rate regulators. These regulators increase fuel pressure at a multiplication factor of boost. So instead of messing with complicated computers and injection duty cycles, these systems just increase fuel pressure to add fuel. They go inline down from the factory regulators and only start to add pressure under boost. So when you are off boost, you maintain factory tuning and drivability. Only as you get boost does the regulator begin to increase fuel pressure. Rising rate regulators have a vacuum/boost line hose connector on them.
  14. Aluminium mesh is a piece of cake to cut with some tinsnips. I think the product you're referring to is SikaFlex - http://www.sika.com.au/cmi/auto_products_adh.htm which can be bought at most good auto/hardware stores.
  15. Yes mate, an absolutely enjoyable experience.............................
  16. Well register and dirty it up then!!!!
  17. A new cruise site setup by Brett called West Coast Cruisers. I'll be making a formal post soon, but here it is: West Coast Cruisers
  18. Shit, caught out again Bubba. I gotta stop answering emails first thing in the morning before my morning coffee! Prices must have plummeted in the last year. I was looking for a Gts-4 (and found one) for Brett last year and the prices were around the 11-13k mark. Apart from the damage that has been described, the car is in good nick. Bumper & paint - $600.00 Light and indicator - $200. So for less than a grand in repairs you've got a fairly good Gts-4 for 10k. If this is a ripoff, I need to get out more often??????
  19. Half cuts are done at the bottom of the windshield to the rear of the gearbox, so yes you should have everything you need. The only determining factor is what has been ripped from the cut as most places will raid the cut for other parts when asked for. As far as the transmission mount is concerned, if we're talking about an R32 you will need the crossmember from an S13. Fill in your personal info so we all know what vehicle you have.
  20. There will be one at the beginning of October. Details will be posted soon.
  21. If you don't have the mechanical skills to perform the swap, buying what you eventually want would be the cheaper option.
