They have no domestic car industry to protect unlike here in aus so the NZ govt dont need to slap massive import taxes and tarriffs etc on their imports, hence there is a big grey import industry over there and i dont think they need to go through the whole compliancing thing like over here either. Price goes with demand, NZ has imports everywhere (as they are easy and cheap to bring into the country) thats why the prices are lower there aswell Being a kiwi i'm really considering buying a car over there, registering it for 12 months and bringing it over as a private import, but i think by the time you get it on the road you're better off going straight from japan anyway.

I had a set of these, (from brent via ebay) but i had to remove them as they have issues using standard lighting. PM me for more details if interested.

haha first post of teh day ownage!!

I'll come, and bring my car if someone could go for a test drive and tell me what the fark is wrong with it

I think i need to clarify something here. I was running 12psi BEFORE the plugs and coils were swapped over, ie: 2 days ago boost gauge = say 11psi no misfire/fuel cut symptoms now: 9psi = the problems. The only way i can get the car to boost to 12psi is if i stab the throttle for a sec or so then lift right off, it builds boost then drops off again. If i'm say on a freeway onramp and gradually squeeze the throttle it gets to a certain rpm/boost (around 3000rpm and 9psi ish ) then its like someone shuts off the ignition alltogether (definatley feels like more than one cylinder if its just a plain old misfire). Anyone got ideas???

Morning spam town residents...1st post of teh day Some knowlegable peeps help me with my car's problem, details are in here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119488

Can you deliever to a zorst shop for fitting?? Also whats that wierd bottle thingo hangin on the side of the pipe just after the first muffler??? is it some sort of resonator?? never seen anything like it.

Last dyno run (see attached) Running 10-11psi, r34 gtt cooler, exhaust and pod. I know what you mean about colder air from winter conditions but i drove the car 80km to work at 5:30 this morning, it was fine, after doing the work on it and driving it home around 4pm i noticed the problem so doubt it's got much to do with the temps.

Thanks for the quick replys lads -I imagine plugs would be seated fine (didn't do it myself tho) and heat range 7 i believe. Car revs fine up until the point it cuts out (if that makes sense). -Would have thought car would run leaner now that it has a better spark (new plugs, decent coils) not richer, but running leaner could be a possiblity- no audible knock but doesn't mean it isn't there..... Tune has not been changed or anything like that. Just the plugs and coils were done. Dont imagine that these changes alone would be enough to make it run safe (on my last dyno run a couple of months ago) to dangerously lean unless my fuel pump died all of a sudden. -Definatley describe it as 'violently' cutting out, its not a blip in the rev range, the car comes on boost, then just cuts out for a second, then runs fine again, then cuts out again... I'm thinking fuel cut as if i keep my foot down the time it cuts out is always the same. ie. it revs...then cuts....wait 5 secs, cuts out for second again,..wait 5 secs, cuts out again etc... Seems wierd that its happening at such low boost tho, where does the ecu get its boost signal?? (some small hoses were replaced with silicone ones in the process, was wondering if these would cause it aswell). Tomorrow i'll make sure theres no disconnected hoses, plus i'll do a ecu reset and wind my bleed valve back to the lowest setting.

Hi, Just today i got intstalled a set of splitfire coils and NGK iriway iridium plugs. Now once i get above 9psi/3000ish rpm the car misfires badly, like totally cuts out for a split second, then runs fine again, but still wont let me rev the car, is this the fuel cut i've heard about?? Before installing the coilpacks i was running 12psi fine with no problems like this. What is the boost point where the fuel cut kicks in?? i've read quite a few conflicting posts where some say anything above 8psi have been affected, others run 12+psi fine. .. Any help would be appreciated Cheers.

That would be great

pics to [email protected] please I need to see if any of the fins are damaged???

lol 2 typos in a row, thanks for the heads up dave (sorry about the dk comment btw)

nineteen..NINETEEN *jumps around room* (edited due to dave's champion spelling skills )

Intriguing.. I'm keen..for whatever this is :PBJ:

Did any footage ever get posted? I know the sphincter of the universegoat (guy that took all the photos in the skidpan thread) was working on one a while ago, i cant find the link.

haha *pictures don burke in a worked white r32 yelling at dan "stop doin lawnies on my magnolias ya farking hoon!!" *swerves car Seriously tho, . I've had someone drive straight at me once (i didn't know them, nor had i cut them off in traffic or anything) and whilst out in toowoomba a bunch of yobs thought it was funny to hurl a cricket ball at my car....from their car going the opposite direction...whilst i was driving at 60kph. Again i have no reason to think that i have ever pissed off someone enough to try and kill me. theres not much we can do about tossers like the above, the only thought can be that one day they'll piss off someone with the same attitude as them and hopefully remove each other from the gene pool.

Me and lee (lbfalcon) went out there but turned back cos they were telling everyone that you'll prob only get ONE run in???

Yeah who was that directed at jason??

Blue R34 gtr on logan road just now. Plates were GTR78 i think Nice car

I'd tend to agree with everyone else, 17km over the limit is a bit excessive. Having said that, we all speed from time to time, so part of me wants to say you were unlucky getting caught the second time on your good behaviour, another part of me wants to say that if your licence was so precious you would have been more careful.. Good luck anyway mate, live an learn i guess

holy crap...sounds like it will be amazing once its done

He moves like a cop.... I think hector is going to be running 3 civics with sr20s

Dang I was looking for a place in that area, would have been perfect
