WHY?An aftermarket ecu does wonders to a std engine and turbo set-up. My personal order: - exhaust - fmic - boost increase - ecu - fuel pump, injectors, afm, turbo (most expensive step) - if making over 220rwkw, replace std airbox with a CAI system - cams (optional) - head porting (optional) - rebuild bottom end (once excessive blow-by occurs) The above is just power progression list. Before the turbo make sure you upgrade clutch, BRAKES (good pads, slotted rotors, TOP SHELF FLUID!), suspension (not just coil overs), wheels and tyres. These will make your car drive faster and safer, and allow you to have a whole lot more fun in a controlled manner. Big power without these mods will NOT give you a fast car, unless you only want to drive in a straight line Just my 2c

Sounds like your clearances are up the shit. Sounds like the clutch is not fully dis-engaging, thus making it hard to take out or put into gear. When going to an aftermarket clutch, there is a colar, in the clutch assy, that may need to be modified, if this is left std, it may be too long. I am not a mechanic, so i can't go into details :. Take it to a proper mechanic to check over it properly

Closed thread as all as probably been said. Ash if you disagree, just reopen it.

8:15am , i'll still be sleeping till at least 10am

What time Tuesday are you dropping your car off?

Time to look at reco'ing your suspension buddy. After 12yrs+, bushes, shocks, springs, etc all go up the shit. I would seriously consider the full whiteline handling pack, with additional camber bushes and pinapples. As well as getting some new coil-overs. All this will make your car ALOT safer and handle alot smoother. You have ample power, now it is time to support it

It's the size of the FMIC that dictates the amount of cutting required on the reo and front bar, not the piping.

If this event wasn't included in SAU-VIC's planning we would have had another event on at the same time. The committee kept this weekend free to accommodate the event, but they stopped short of putting a gun to members' heads and demanding they attend this event. Ash simply stated that this is a very active club, with events/cruises/track days/etc planned weekly; the club would have done its members wrong by planning nothing for this month, just because of one specific event, that's 2hrs drive, to celebrate one specific model, which only caters to probably 2% of members. If I didn't need to go hospital, I may have attended, but circumstances dictated otherwise.

That can and can't work : You have your "very" popular mechanics that will get a top rating, just because of their name. Where-as smaller shops, that do just as good a job, at possibly a cheaper price will have lesser rating because they don't participate on these forums. Also what will stop a person from giving a poor rating to a w/shop, just to support their own? : Or rate a w/shop on hear-say (ie: my friends, friends, uncle's, nephew, blah, blah..............). Also, what happens if one job happens to go wrong, then the customer (purely out of fustration) votes as a bad experience, only to find the next day the w/shop are more than willing to resolve the issue properly. In this industry, every w/shop has it's bad days, it's the good w/shops that take the time to fix the problem properly. I trully beleive this is an area that is best left alone, by the forum. As stated previously; i have nothing against people commenting on w/shop in private.

Not too good Was think, during the week, but i forgot not everyone is bludging and pulling off a sicky this week

Dave if you want to try the soldiering idea, i'm willing to help. Do you have a garage and some basic tools?

I understand your frustration and can see where you are coming from. BUT most w/shops in question have nothing to do with SAU and one condemning thread, from one disgruntled customer, can seriously damage a shop's reputation. If the moderators did not erase such posts, the forum administrators could be sued for public defamation. Such threads are not deleted to protect the w/shop, but to solely protect the forums. If you have a bad experience with a particular mechanic, nothing stops you from discussing your issues in private (PM) or at events, etc.

Happy B'day Buddy, even though i am a little late

Thanks TroySo just the EC form, what about wakefield?

Well spoken Ash I am going to make a point, that even though it isn't my view/opinion, it is very relavent to the reason why there was such a low attendance from SAU-Vic members. I am not trying to cause an arguement, just stating possible reasons why your attendances were low. This event was primaraly promoted as; "A Celebration of the Annerversary of the Australian Built R31". To expand on Ash's statement, about the demographic of SAU Vic members: Most members are aged between 18-24, and primarily own later model "imported" Skylines. Even the members that own R31s mainly drive the import version. So to expect these members to drive to Shep. for such an event may not have been ideal. In many people's eyes the Australian Built R31, was purely a family oriantated car, and probably the lowest perfomance optioned vehicle from the Skyline range. I beleive for an event to be successful, it has to celebrate, and only be promoted, as a "Celebration of ALL Skylines". Events, maps, oriantation, times, etc, have to be freely promoted to the public, so they can judge wether the cost is fessable. Sorry to hear that this event was not as successful as you had planned it to be, but blaming SAU-Vic for your "short-comings" is a joke! As Ash has mentioned, the committee was only asked to help 2-3 weeks b4 the event. Planning such events in the last 3 weeks of an 18 month promotion is the error of the event organizers, thus the blame falls back only onto yourself. Being a past committee member, i know that SAU-Vic's events are planned months in advance, and these are not even National Events :

Tried that but had a message saying something about "bad URL" PS: Have been playing again

Just in case you missed it

So how do i start again, since i used up all my turns?

David, just sent you a PM, I too live in Delahey Look at their stickers, the "o" is a turbo, that is used to disguise the "a". For copywrite purposes, they have to use Nisma.

what happens when you run out of turns?

so if someone attacks you, it will notify you?

Who is trigger, and on who's hood;mine?

The name sounded so sleezy, just perfect for a pimp game

I was waiting for your response Bring it on biatch What's your pimp name? Al and Big Al were not permitted

I'm still not add Pimp name is "slide" How the hell do you guys get soooo many hoes 'n thugs
