  1. No, i didnt replace anything extra at all..... I havent had any other dramas and like i say ive had it installed for a year no probs... im getting a service thursday anyway so ill get my mechanic to check it out - but sometimes it's better to hear from people who may have experienced the same things.... like i say it seems as though my fuel cut is intervening for some reason, possibly due to it spiking.... but why would it spike?
  2. Hi guys.... The steering wheel doesnt seem straight when im driving straight ahead on a dead flat, straight road. I recently had new tyres fitted thinking that that couldve been the problem. Had balance and alignment. Problem is still there on some roads. Falken specialist said it's cos the car is lowered and it tracks the camber of the road. Fair enough but why is it when after ive been driving for a few minutes and i build up speed on a main road that i can almost see the steering wheel turning in my hands (always the same direction - down to the left) but the car still steers a steady straight course? It's so disconcerting as you're building speed to have to readjust your driving style every few mins to compensate for the changes in steering wheel movement. I was reading in HPI that there's a thing on GTRs called a steering wheel position sensor which can be zeroed.... could this be the prob on my GTSt?
  3. Ok something's up with my 'Line.... Sunday night driving home from work i gave the car a workout in 1st gear. Upon hitting near full boost, the car made a horrible banging (backfiring sort of sound) and to the best of my memory seemed as if it was hitting fuel cut. This was at only about 5000rpm (if that). I thought id put the exhaust wheel out through the pipes.. However the turbo still spools up as it ever did. Accerleration seems to be unchanged. Tonight i drove the car out of the carpark and gave it a bit of curry (still cautious of the prob from the other night). Again it made that backfiring type of banging/clunking sound as it was approaching full boost. I tried it again a few mins later and it did the same thing again. Scary sound. In 4th gear under full acceleration it did it as badly as when in 1st gear. Now the last time i tried it in 4th i managed to see the boost gauge bouncing on and off 15psi. I have a dual stage boost controller (bleed valve) which is set at 12psi (low - which i drive on) and 14psi (high).... As i understand it, seeing 15psi would mean the boost is spiking due to manual b/c having poor wastegate control? What could the problem be? Why would it be spiking now, when in 12mths of having the b/c fitted ive only seen it spike by 1psi when on high-setting? Could there be a more serious problem?
  4. Dunno if it's been mentioned but the muiral on the back of the car has the following script with it.... "ONE MORE CHANCE BABY" Glad it came true.... someone should remind him he's outta chances.....
  5. Anyone know where the cheapest but not dodgey places are in Sydney to get tyres? Im interested in purchasing some Falken ST-115s.....
  6. I can account for this same bouncing effect too. I lowered my car using King springs and now it handles like a sack of sh!t. As SydneyKid said - the shocks just aint up to it.
  7. Thanks guys for the great help! I basically want a set of rubber that performs well in the dry so something soft like the Falken Azenis is what im after or the equivalent from another brand. Are these tyres like driving on ice in the wet? Ive had a look at the tread and there aint a lot of water drainage grooves on them!!
  8. Im about to remove my HICAS. was gunna use the Tomei kit, but now that i hear about this Blitz one im interested. Where can i get it from?
  9. Hey guys, keen in getting a set of these rims but have a few questions: * Where can i buy a set in Sydney? * How much would a set of 17x8s retails for? * Would 17x8 fit under my 2inches lowered R32? * Any recommendations on some good rubber to get? Ive been told Falken make some good high performance tyres. * What profile rubber would i need? Ive currently got 225/50 16inch but would like to jump to 235/? Would 235 wide rubber fit beneath my guards? Any help is much appreciated.
  10. I got quoted $577 - so much for $350..... im the same age as you TonyGTSt, how come i got quote $227 more than you. Oh and another thing they didnt even ask what car i drive!! They only wanted year of car, my age and my postcode. Help me out!
  11. Top choice 4DoorGTR, im envious to the back teeth!! Please post pics upon delivery!! I know a bit about the XR6T and a bit about 2JZ engines (both large capacity straight sixes). After side-stepping the tough-to-crack black-box in Falcon is there as much modding potential for the Falcon as there is for the 2JZ? From memory the quickest Supra in the country hasnt dipped into the 10s yet, and yet the XR6T has. Correct me if im wrong.... The attachment is what my XR6T would look like
  12. Nice um....errr....wheels.... Mustang + blonde (who cleans!) = lucky bloke
  13. Yep id go for option 3 as red900ss has chosen.... public transport or keep begging your parents for lifts for another month DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. Honestly man, such a hassle isnt your parents driving you places but buying a vehicle for one month. If there's a car at home you'll be tempted to drive it so dont bother.
  14. With an ad like that they need to back it up with a new product range.... anyone up for a Rice-burger? (as opposed to rice burner) or perhaps V-tec salad with optional NOS (mayonaise)?? Yum... rice-a-licious
  15. I thort you couldnt post for other people? Wish my Nan had a cool car... or should i say cooler car, Toyota Avalons are sick?
  16. My g/f couldnt give a shit about my car. Her 19yr old bro is a different story. If his sister wasnt going out with me i think he'd be in-line for a date.... just so he can get a drive in the 'Line.... talk about one keen fella!!
  17. Save hard so you can afford half the car then pull a loan for the rest usually only about $250/mth... dont forget to budget for an extra $2k ontop of purchase price
  18. Bet it's going cheap now.....
