you could it in - in like 2 seconds anyway hey do u want to go for a beer or something this friday?

in 5 minutes

what does rb30 stand for

try and find a price for a defi boost sensor or oil pressure sensor

you cant buy defi sensors or gauge senders seperately so i would expect they are built in or come with remote senders unlike other guages where you can buy the senders seperately it seems defi did it correct and built them in to reduce cost

hi there are some urban myths regarding fuel etc here is what i know and my experiences service station brands often share their fuel and facilities, so you may find shell optimax could in fact be the same physical fuel as Mobil 8000 and likewise, you may find Caltex Vortex 98 is the same as BP 98 - not all brands have local facilities in each state, so they share in some parts occasionally there are bad batches of fuel, whether they are stagnant in the tanks at the servo, or just crap batches i believe this happens in all brands, ive had a full tank of shell 98 optimax detonate its ass off in my well tuned GTST reproducible denotation over and over with that tank, put in another tank and presto no more detonation i would suspect all brands would have this issue form time to time using higher octane fuel in a car thats not tuned for it usually give you no benefit other than reduce the lieklyhood of detonation people often try 100ron V Power Racing on a stock ECU or a base tuned ECU and go "nah it didnt do anything, what a rip" of course it wont do anything, you don't gain magical powers or more "killowatts" by adding in more octane. you need to "tune" the car once you have higher octane fuel in the car, that is, add more timing where the engine can handle it with higher octane fuel, the car can handle more timing (usually) so more timing, usually means the engine is more efficient, usually means more power / response. there are myths about ethanol based fuel, melting fuel lines, blowing up pumps, melting pistons voiding warranties etc, if you are in doubt dont touch it but ive been using it for 3 months now with no other issues other users have also reported the same results. if it was to melt fuel lines etc it wouldn't be available at the pump at local servo a common known good use of 100ron in the wild are track days for guys with aggressive tunes the extra octane count adds as insurance, last thing you want is detonation on a track day, the extra octane is your insurance if the car is tuned on 98 and you run 100ron the chance of detonation is significantly smaller, than using 98ron another known good use of 100ron is as a detonation killer -thats how i use 100ron at the moment my car is tuned on 98 premium with an aggressive as all hell tune, 50deg on the IGN map in some areas with 98 ron in the car and summer intake temps of 40deg and an exposed pod if I load the car up and say floor it there is some detonation, increased intake temps will usually cause that so by putting in 100ron there is very little detonation. under aggressive load and intake temps most knock you would see would be maybe 15 at the most with 98 ron in the car and the same conditions it would be typical to see maybe 50+ of detonation on the powerfc hand controller some may argue that the car isnt tuned properly if it does this, that would be debatable and i could go back and retune it with simulated ambient temps etc and take out some timing to handle all aspects of the summer/winter range etc but its also easy to just put in 100ron and away you go there are lots of 'maybes' and 'yeah for sure' regarding octane and brands and fuel economy ive heard them all from workshops, today tonight's specials on fuel etc etc etc i dont see how mathematically one fuel will give you more milage than another brand prehaps im dumb or missing something - but i dont see getting more KM's to a tank on BP98 vs Caltex Vortex etc etc

hi kyle if your coilpacks are toast the car will misfire city on load it wont detonate, just lots of bubbly poppy noises out the exhaust and lack of power when my coils died it wouldnt show up as knock but misfire city

Wishing you both a happy birthday on lovely easter monday - not a bad birthday hey! All the best from SAU VIC

happy birthday - hope you have a good day and all the best from team SAU VIC

go go go

just another reason why VIC is the greatest... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/98...;gopid=3740673#

just another reason VIC is the greatest my local shell has 100ron on tap all day - every day no shortage of 98 here too

read the service manual (one my site) and perform std diagnostics if its is still on after basic checking get it checked by a suitable ABS place or take it to nissan for ABS diags one of the sensors is probably toast - in the event you lock up the brakes ABS wont fire so you should get it sorted

thats pretty low pressure has it always been like this? when did it change? have you checked the oil level? how many km's on the engine ? is the oil pressure idiot light on ?

please tell me youve spent some money on handling

how much money do you have?? jesus running a large style turbo with a small housing can make it nose over and become peaky early it can also cap its flow and make a lightswitch style setup - but you need to drive the larger compressor running a small style turbo with a large housing gives you drive of good top end and plently of peak power and because the compressor drive isnt a big donkey style t88 compressor it can be driven fairly easily which usually results in quicker response, faster transistion and linear style OEM operation ie: good average power / linear oem turbo curve etc instead of lag lag lag lag power

yeah im in gladstone park, on mickleham rd which is one of the main rd's there are two shell's opposite each other one is the older shell and the other is the newer shell - the older shell has v power racing on tap

oh ok - my bad well in vic we have 100ron v power racing its great i have it on tap at my local shell 5 seconds from my place and the price of it changes about once a month if that, my local shell had it at $1.59 for about 1.5 months ive been using it past 2 months now in summer with massive intake temps, exposed pod, aggressive timing full load run uphill on a freeway on ramp - knock of like 10 is the most i see if i had 98 in it it knocks around 60+ ish

nice one - congrats i remember the night i got my licence back after loosing it for 6 months i drove the car at 12:01 that night, was out for about 5 hours - was great

yeah the 100 octane v power racing is a great detonation killer

happy bday - all the best

that doesnt look too bad i had a hit like that ages ago, was gone for 1 week 1 week is reasonable, they might have to pull the boot out a bit make sure you check if it aligns up properly when u get it back and also make sure the boot opens / closes properly

if your going to put a GT3xx series turbo on an rb20 invest in a good manifold and port as much as you can the more exhaut gas flow you get out of it, the better, especially on the humble rb20 a well setup manifold, split pulse, external gate setup could be the different of say 500-600rpm difference in response if done correctly
