  1. Bayside Blue 34 GTR parked on the side of the road in Fennell Bay on Sunday.
  2. Wednesday around 8:30am, cruised behind a midnight purple 33, gold 19s, from Swansea to Bennetts Green. Stuck to the limit like glue, while everyone else was rushing to work. Not that thats a bad thing, just seemed paranoid. Gave a flash as I turned off.
  3. Silver 32 GTR in Manno. Always parked on Vales Rd. EDIT: Carnt speel...
  4. Also had clearance issues once we dumped it. Had the chassis rails 80mm off the ground, & the driveshaft was eating the handbrake cable bracket. Had to raise the car up about 40-50mm. Still chews into the bracket occasionally with extra passanger weight..
  5. Have a custom 3" Gibson single piece with extra heavy duty uni's in my 31. Standard 4.11 Auto diff, RB20DET with a 25 box. Havnt looked back, after killing 2 sets of uni's and centre bearing. Get one made up for you. Cant remember how much it was, but its definately worth it.
  6. Hear yours Brett, see you occasionally. But never while in my car. Hahaarr, take that Snoop! And the rest of the coast. They hate me.
  7. Spots no-one & no-one spots me.... Me & Snoopy are like the only 31s between Sydney & Port Mac. We now charge appearance fees.
  8. Yeah we have already taped them. It didnt work.. Im leaning towards JJRs. Simply because of the price, availability, mate's experiences & what I've heard. I dont wanna spark (heh, get it?) an argument here or anything, but whats peoples opinions on the best value / quality coils?
  9. Changed the CAS with a mate's spare GTR one. Made no difference. Turned out to be a coilpack.. And yeah, we unplugged them 1 by 1 until we found the one that made no difference to the idle. I have no idea why we didnt try this first .. Someone's retarded.. So now I have to go get some YellowJackets or JJRs.. Is it causing any harm by driving the car for 2x 30 min trips, 5 days a week? It only drops the coilpack after 15/20 mins.. I'll need a bit of time to get a hold of the new ones. Thanks again guys, I'll definitely use all the info to make sure everything else is in order.
  10. Good point mad082, Im gonna get a hold of a timing gun off the old man to see if the CAS is throwing the timing out. I'll test the TPS & Igniter too. Anyone else have any more info on the testing of these? Exact readouts I should be getting? Thanks PUDZ I was going to replace the coilpacks, but I dont want to do that right now if it isnt going to fix the problem.. My concern is that when it happens & the car is idling like crap, unplugging the AFM (BOTH mine & a mate's known working one) instantly brings the revs up (rather high though) & takes away the rough & rich idle... So if the problem isnt with the AFM's, then whats goin on? How can it be nearly resolved by unplugging, but not be the actual AFM's causing it since I've tried a perfectly working one?
  11. Same results this morning on the way to work. Car started & ran fine. After about 10 mins, revs dropped & ran like crap for the rest of the 30 min trip. Let me just add that by "running like crap" I mean an extreme lack of power & response. It becomes very sluggish to climb speed & will continue to be sluggish no matter the speed, revs, gear ect. And coming on boost just agrivates the whole roughness.. The AFM has been changed, lastnight, with a known working one. Which is insanely clean inside compared to my old one. Nothing changed at all. Is there any way to diagnose the TPS or Ignitor? Finding RB parts to test or lend isnt easy..
  12. Having a bit of an issue with my Silvertop. For the last 6 - 8 weeks, I've had an intermittent drop in revs, making the car run richer than Bill Gates & sound like a filthy Subaru on it's death bed, for no apparent reason.. It can happen while driving, at any revs & any speed, or even while stopped & idling. On idle, it would be at 600 - 800 rpm. Once it hits, it sticks & stays, until the car is turned off & left for 3-4 or more hours. At first, I was able to get it to go away sometimes by putting the boot into it, making it stutter & snap out of it. Now, it just shudders along like a bitch, no matter how hard I try.. It used to be totally unpredictable & intermittent. But now it seems to always hit after 15 - 20mins, regardless of temperature, weather conditions, revs, driving style, stops/starts ect. My first thoughts were coilpacks, spark plugs or fuel filter.. But all along, I've been leaning towards something electrical, because of the way it just happens - It can be running beautiful, then all of a sudden feel like its running on 4 or 5 cylinders. I replaced my non-gapped Irridium plugs with standard RB30 ones. Put on a new fuel filter. The car starts quicker & idles slightly better, but still had the problem. Me & a mate taped up my coilpacks, to temporarily stop them arching out, if they were. Made no difference either. I unplugged my AFM while idling, the car stalled. Started it while still unplugged, coughed & spluttered & slowly picked up revs until it was idling smooth at about 2000 rpm. Plugged it in, revs dropped to 600 again.. Got a good condition S1 R33 AFM off another mate, (which is rediculously clean internally, compared to mine) put that in tonight. No difference. I can still unplug it & have the revs smooth & raise up to 2000 - 2200. I've checked the crank sensor plug, all coilpack plugs, igniter plugs & grounds, & the AFM plug itself. Wiggling & pushing ect. I checked the ECU, getting error 55, which = No Fault or No Malfunction. Reset the system with the batt & brake pedal method, checked again, 55 still.. Although I havnt driven it since the reset or the new AFM. I will know in the morning when I drive to work. Anyone have any ideas? Any help at all would be much appreciated guys. Thanks.
  13. Hes from around the Lake Munmorah area. Seen it around a bit. I think its N/A.
