  1. Might even consider moving to a silvia for a few kicks?
  2. my interpretation is thus: It is very similar to the 4 stroke, 2 stroke debate, as rotary's operate as essentially a 2 stroke. Thus while they can burn a lot more fuel per second, and hence get more power, they do so inefficiently. This has become a problem with changes in emissions regulations. However practically you can get a lot of power out of very small displacements, and hence get fantastic power to weights. Similarly because of the large amount of fuel they can burn, they couple with turbo induction very very well. A typical downside is things like that the whole central rotor has to move, and so there is a lot of friction wear on the seals, which has given it a bad reputation (I think) for reliability. Overall many companies and individuals worked on the rotary concept (mercedes, nissan to name a few) however only mazda continued for such a long time (rather like wankel). They certainly have some great positives, but also a number of downsides, which is perhaps why they have never been largely taken up. That's just my rough overall summary of rotaries .

    R33 GTR Dash

    Sorry to go offtopic, but the centre console guages for R33 GTR... would they mount up in an R32?
  5. Damn direct gas injection? When that hits mainstream there would be no sane reason to run PULP... which in turn would drive petrol prices down.. and gas prices up. Ohh hang on j/ks.
  6. Very interesting post indeed! There has been many such studies in the past based on statistics which have revealed all sorts of interesting things, some of which have been acted upon, others of which have been largely ignored. I am reminded of the 80's and the push for seatbelts. All the research into it revealed that seatbelts, SERIOUSLY reduced the likelihood of death, but what did the public get worked up about?? OMG OMG if I have a seatbelt on, it will take longer to get out of the car!! Let's hope this research ends up improving the safety and well being of everyone on the road.
  7. What exactly are you asking? Do you want names? Do you want to know if it's a good idea? I'm not sure I follow, how are you importing the car? through someone like Prestige?
  8. From experience, it goes to RWD to AWD, but not back again unless you restart car . Running power through only RWD is going to result in less power loss in the transmission, hence, more power on the dyno chart .
  9. Wednesday at 7:45 . If I post in both threads is it more likely to happen?
  10. Yeah what's the difference with J-detro? and how much for pfc (either models) for RB26dett R32.
  11. My GTS-4 destroys STIs, admitantly it has an RB26 in it .
  12. Wow.. no one? Well it got a bit worse today.. driving through some twistys and I floored it.. next second a puff of whitish smoke comes through the vents and although I couldn't smell anything when I got out to check it out, there was a hot plastic sorta smell. Took it easy for the rest of the trip and didn't notice anything bad. Gonna get it looked at ASAP .
  13. Driving back from phillip island and my petrol was below 1/4 of a tank. The engine cut all power out a few times and I assumed this was the fuel regulator shitting itself. Stopped at the next petrol station, and filled up. 2 minutes later the engine cut out hardcore and I had to pull over, slowed to a stop, engine seemed fine, drove again and didn't have another problem. WTF? Also while driving my headlights seem to dip once every 3 minutes or so and I hear a click. I'm wondering if this is my alternator dieing?
  14. hehehe funny. I got the clear indicators and I want orange ones .
  15. Hehehe I been looking for GTR headlights and grill for ages. As my car came with a GTR bonnet..
  16. you need GTR front headlights which come with the mounting brackets, yes they are the same size.
  17. Yeah I thought so.. poo free bump
  18. Would it fit on a 4 door boot?
  19. LOL! That is all . I'd post in there, but you can totally see there is no point whatso ever .
  20. SC300 lexus not on list? No 2 litre 180sx? No GTS4? No Stagea? lol the list is full of holes..
  21. No I don't believe there is.. attessa is clever like that . Come on GTS4 doood make a how to guide for us .
  22. cause it costs a lot more money than a switch
  23. those photo's fair suck dude. Props for the effort cause id like to put one of these in my car, but I really can't see squat .
  24. That's horrible... I remember when my car arrived I was totally paranoid.. and I live in a good suburb in Melbourne. That totally sucks mate and I hope beyond hope that you can get ya car back! I hate reading about all these skylines being stolen .
