  1. if the car you have is stock completely have you thought about selling it and buying a modified one ? it will work out cheaper
  2. nah u wont be able to run any afms other than the stock ones on the stock ecu either only the stock ecu will support the stock afms unless you remap it or use a piggyback or stand alone the nismo afm's should be able the same price as the z32's
  3. you wont be able to run one z32 and one normal GTR the ecu will just give some screwey results and probably risk the engine also the z32 is 80mm and GTR is 65mm so the piping etc wont mate up the nismo afm's are a 65mm shell with z32 internals so you should go for these for ease of swap over but you wont be able to run one nismo and one normal as the ecu won't know you have two different afms, the loads will be uneven
  4. see you all there
  5. the ones that i can think of are the bee*r limiter box (not sure if this does exactly - i think so) or the gizzmo launch interface, thats on the apexi site as apexi do gizmo now that mega jolt box sounds fantastic actually
  6. hey guys thanks for the birthday wishes - last night was good fun and great to see everyone no worries re: nsw trip guys, that drive home is a killer, mav scott and claire came and i couldnt believe it - after 8 hours in the car i just wanted to die!!!! thanks to those who came, was a good night today is a slow recovery and a family bbq tonight see all you crazy kids soon
  7. here's another one ive done for some fun; 1. Get 1 packs of Strawberries and Cream (or other lollies if you like) You can use almost any lollies or chocolates you like Some you can't use are honeycomb and stuff like malteasers as they don't break down 2. Get a bottle of vodka 3. Drain about 1 cup (ish) out of the bottle 4. Pour in the lollies 5. Shake it up 6. After 1 day Its partially disolved but still needs a bit longer Sometimes some warmth will help it along, so even some sunlight may help 8. Leave for about 2 days 9. Review and strain out if needed 10. If required to be filtered/strainted open up and pour out contents over a strainer with a cloth (to filter out the gunk) 11. Pour remaining liquid into vodka bottle 12. Use for shots and party tricks
  8. rename it to .zap or something
  9. looks very nice i like i like
  10. see you crazy kids tomorrow - sounds good ive got the flyers too
  11. just letting you know its much better tonight obviously you are working on it - good work hope it helps
  12. its been covered to death do a search on LPG and youll find about 20 pages of why its a bad idea
  13. yeah its the same thing
  14. al or shane i think one of your reserved me a bed? i dont need it anymore sorry for late notice if you are stuck etc ill gie you cash for it ive booked a queen bed room, no idea what # etc see all you crazy kids there
  15. wideband sensor hey most workshops can do it for you unless you plan on doing it yourself? ive been quoted about $60 to fit another 02 sensor in the dump pipe includes drilling a new bung and i think a bolt to suit to seal it up when not in use
  16. no workshop will do 4" for you only the jap stuff comes in 4" the best thing i can recommend is get a split dump pipe or a bellmouth dump get a good jap brand or locally made one - say like the BATMBL split dump 3" is spot on and then take it to an exahust workshop and say fit this and give me a good high flowing 3" cat back exhaust and make sure you get a new high flowing cat too if you goto your average exhaust place that hasnt done shitloads of skyliens they might not be able to match up the dump / exhaust flange on yhe stock turbo, so choosing one of the pre-fabricated dumps saves times/hassles i took mine with a batmbl split dump to glenroy performance exhausts in truck city / near epping they charged me $750 to fit my supplied pipe and supply & install a 3" cat back system came out nice, good job, spot on, did it ahead of schedule too.
  17. i mean for reference a good 2nd hand manifold is around $800 to $1000 ish a reasonable wastegate i would expect around $400 ish ? and the turbocharger a good reasonable one another $1500 to $2k so yeah if the whole kit is like $1000 then it makes you wonder....
  18. like a lot of "cheap" turbochargers on ebay be aware do some research, there are at least a dozen kkr / chinese / ebay turbo threads most of them are full of "beware" "cheap" "crap" etc and the typicall compressor smashed wheel photos so be warned and try at your own risk - they are cheap for a reason there's a reason garrett charge about double for the same style turbocharger probably due to the components, workmanship, relibabily, warranty and type of components im no expert but i know when something is "too cheap" and $800 for a turbo sounds like this it probably needs a few changes to make it fit its probably more laggier and i suspect it wont be ball bearing and its probably only oil cooled which has other implications etc these are all covered to death in the KKR threads have a read of all of them before forking over your money and lastly i would recommend if you do go ahead to have some money on the side in case of failure / engine issues also if you do encounter problems speak to the supplier asap do not send it to someone else or another workshop as this could instantly void the warranty, they seem to have some wierd strict clauses on them
  19. it can and does work but some of the s1 (i think) have different map data i had a series 1 remapped ecu on my series 2 and it ran ok but was a bit sluggish the remapper guy said it had a MEC something soemthing chip like 270 or something and the one i needed was 250 or something, so it worked just sluggish if you need it as a plod around - get to work its probably fine
  20. hey no problems happy to help out the big ones that are likely to yield help will be chcking out apache_top and looking at the mysql process listing it it could either be httpd contention, if it is then its just apache conf tweaking and if its sql related then we should find it in show processlist and other mysql checks etc it cant hurt to manually check the indexes and the database shouldnt need to be 'checked' as in check table as that will look for corrupted blocks etc postgres will only help (or another database) in the event that mysql is bottlenecking that is, its bottlenecking due to the way it locks the tables mysql cant do row locking as its too simplistic so when someone makes a changes to their permissions or adds a new thread etc it must lock the whole table and commit that change so for the time being while its locked nothing else can read from that table so you have all the other processes waiting for 'waiting - locked table' ive seen it all too often with mysql and high performance based websites postgres, sql server, oracle etc all do row locking in the sense when a row is being updated or inserted they lock that specific row only and allow access to all the other rows so your application isn't any wiser im happy for some access to have a look around and see what i can find maybe its something easy or maybe its something complicated cant hurt to loook
  21. from what ive seen so far and learnt it seems the actual database is probably the bottleneck 300-400ms isnt exactly crash hot but that certainly wont make the page load in 20 seconds plus typical loading times i am seeing from a few sources is well into the 10 seconds for a page load it could be a case some users have some stupid indexes or some whacko foreign keys etc on them my access is pathetic, it takes 10 seconds + for any thread to load if i fork more connections its not different they all just take as long its probably a case we are maxing out mysql and its not perfomring as well as it could be a load average of the box is exactly that, the average load in the running queue it does not give an accurate representation to how mysql is performing if it has 3 childs that are running as the load will just show around 1,2,3 etc but if each of those pids is fightint for locking resouces (which mysql is HOPELESS at) and other resources then yeah its going to suck how is the database setup, is it on localhost has anyone optimized the schemea? has anyone looked at the slow queruies (theres a command arg to log them) how are the indexes setup for the big tables? if you do show process do you see much locking processes or waiting? wht about copy to tmp_table do you see much of this? the actual tcp response from the box is a bit slow which is probably due to system load and number of apache childs they could be fighting for resources, competing with other junk or it could just be the box is busy a good test is; open a dos prompt telnet www.skylinesaustralia.com 80 then note how long the socket takes to open this is a good sign that it could be either network or server/httpd process contention then once its open paste in; GET /forums/style_images/1/bc_new.gif HTTP/1.0 HOST: www.skylinesaustralia.com and hit enter twice it should come out pretty quickly and then end so if it does then it shows the server and your connectivity is pretty fast i think its only when you load the main forum pages that it takes ages which is probanly all the sql seleciting and other junk involved can we move to another datbase other than mysql? postgres would be so much better not tryring to be a know it all and pointing blame etc more interested in getting it sorted there are lots of tools to help debug slow pages / database etc apache_top is a good one the mysql slow_process command line is a good one without the proper access i can only speculate and guess but i know its driving me nuts and probably others do we need to donate some more $$$?
  22. i dont think you be able to notice either difference to be honest just buy the cheapest core / kit and move on with it 5 years ago brand probably would have made a difference but these days its probably from the same factory
  23. in summary yes
  24. fuel pump control is different
  25. are you stupid or retarded? purposely trying to drive like a spaz in the wet? and you guys wonder why imports get picked on.....
