OK, so I've got an HKS catback, a high flow cat and a split front/dump to go on, yay me. Problem is that the damn dump pipe wants to stay behind. How the hell do I get access to the bolts on the dump pipe? I tried removing the turbo heat shield, but can't access those either (I'll probably drill out the top bolts anyway) here's the pix: Anyone know a trick I do not? A tool I can use? I'm soaking the bolts overnight with WD40, and I'll have another crack tomorrow night.

I think most people here would do all they could themselves. Personally, I think that's the best way. I bought a stocker so that I could play with it. Yes, it probably would have been cheaper to buy an Australian, pre modded skyline, but the fact that it comes to me as a blank canvas, and I can create it into what I want it to be, it's well, special. I know that every time I look at it, or if others comment on it, that it's because of what I've done, not because I bought it that way. Also, if there's a problem, I can have a crack at fixing it myself. Besides that, it's just fun.

Pranks 101: So, you want to get him back without legal ramifications do you, well here we go: You want something irritating in the extreme, but not permanant, try these ideas. 1) stink him out. You can do this many ways, a popular one is to pour urine, or liquid fertiliser in the air vents. It'll smell awful for weeks, and there'll always be that tang. For best results, piss into a bottle (preferably a big one) and then just dump it in as you walk past. Try not to spill any on the other areas (or yourself for that matter) so when he gets that tangy scent, he'll have no idea what's going on, and should you be at the urinal one day next to him, he'll frown, trying to remember where he's smelled that before, then it'll hit him, and he'll know that you marked his car. 2) freak him out. This can be as simple as messing with his head. If his car is a little dirty, sit on the bonnet and move around a bit (gently, so as not to dent) then go and chat to his girlfriend, making sure he sees you. Then once she leaves, tell one of his friends that you just shagged her on the bonnet of his car, and that her arse marks are still there. He;ll be very sure it's all bullshit, but as all guys are, you just never can let that stuff go. 3) Get a bit nasty: Steal or swap his license plates, preferably swap with someone he knows, but not too well, with a similiar plate. Or just nick them and hide them. 4) get his car towed. Report the car stolen, pretend to be him and call the cops, you'll need to know his address and license number though. 5) Remove a wheel. Just get a jack, spanner and take em, preferably two, so he can't use a spare. 6) Put come form of foul stuff in the door handle Wether it's dog crap or some yoghurt that's been left out in the sun all day, it's juvenile, but a winner 7) Get creative Use what you have to make the prank stupendous. I saw a guy dip a bottle of shaving foam in liquid notrogen, peel back the metal to leave a solid block of foam, them he put it in this guys car, so the bastard expanded as it cooled, and there's an instant marshmallow car! What do you have access to? What do you know about him? If he's scared of something use it! If he's arachnaphobic, dump spiders in the car, if he hates creepy crawlies, go to a reptile store and get some food crickets and let the whole bunch loose in there. I'm sure you can probably find something to suit here, or make up something else yourself.

See post below, I accidentally double posted.

Aren't all females bi-curious? You know what they say, every girl is just 6 drinks away from a lesbian experiance. My girl had a girls night last weekend, she claims her friends got together an painted canvasses (their graphic designers... they like pretty colours) but I'm pretty sure that it's just a euphamism for 'stripped down to panties and had a pillow fight'. Either that or every dodgy B-grade movie has lied to me, and I refuse to beleive that. Back on track: I guess naming a car is something that some people do as well. I haven;t thought of a name for my car yet, but it's something I'd probably do.

Can i get some pix?

Hey everyone, just had a random query, what sex is your car? My friend calls his car his 'mate', so he concludes it's a boy, but I call my car a girl, because If I'm going hard and fast inside something, it's gonne be female. Just wondering if anyone else does this, or is it taking enthusiasm a little too far?

Yeah, had a brain-fart typo. I meant rears lose traction. It's been a long day. I just might take you up on that offer though mate.

My gts-4 seems to be lacking some front traction, the front torque gauge reads 0 all the time, and the front tyres are not gripping. I've checked the AWD fuse, and replaced it to no effect, any clues as to what this might be? Also, I've had people claim different things in regard tot he gts-4 AWD, some say it's just like the GTR, others that it's a constant AWD, not simply activated when the fronts lose grip. Anyone know for sure?

Err... What they said.

I like the look of that. Could you PM me a rough quote to modify a GTS-4 bonnet to include a smaller, side mounted vent? (i.e. above the pod) or something similiar?

Keen on one with adapter, but a couple of q's Would I need a tuner to hook up the plug, or can it be just adapted to the existing plug? Also, do I need to retune my ECU?

No worries. Well, I'd like to go for the boost gauge, I'll try to source an a pillar mount to suit 60 mm from elsewhere. Let me know where to send payment, and the cost for shipping to 3108

Just a query, when changing bonnets to CF or adding large vents, does it need an engineering cert? I've heard conflicting advice, some people say it does not, as it's like a body kit, others say it does, as it alters the cumple zone characteristics. I only ask as I'm considering a new bonnet for my 32, and am floating up going CF or getting a GTR bonnet and putting a vent where the air pod is.

Hey Flyn, I like the look of the saber gauges, and am looking for one to add to my R32 GTS-4. I'm after an electronic boost gauge, do Saber require a seperate control unit? Also how much for a single A pillar mount to suit? And while I'm throwing the Q's around, what's the rough price of the gts-4 coilovers?

Was this taken at JPV? I just had my car complied there, and found Salah to be pretty damn good to be honest. 14K isn't cheap, but then again, if it's already complied, and ready to be rego'd, it might be worth it. To compare, you could probably import a car like that for about 10K once it's all paid for, then pay another 2.5K for compliance, about $600 (min) for tyres, maybe a bit more for intrusion bars if they're not included in the compliance price, and transport costs from the docks to you, and an unreg permit from you to the compliancer. All up, it'd cost you about 13-14K, and you'd probably have to wait 3-4 months. If it's a quality vehicle, 14K isn't so bad. Ye you can get cheaper, but they're usually complied by someones uncle, or have been driven on bad Australian roads with crappy Aussie fuel for a few years. All up, it really depends on what you can afford. If you think the car isn't worth that much, then walk away, but I'd check to see about the price of cars at the same level first. For comparison, my GTS-4 was about 10k landed, and about 4K to comply (2.5k plus tyres, bars and RWC) and I still have about 1k worth of rego to pay, and about 1.5K in insurance. You'd probably find cheaper at places like JSA, but often, you'll get what you pay for. my .02c

It's funny, but with all the stuff that goes on, it's often those that talk the most that do the least. That usually goes for most things such as: How fast their car is How many 'chicks' they have 'pulled' How tough they are and how many fights they have had. If you're good at something, you know it, and don't need to tell anyone else. If you're car is fast, why waste it on some donkey in chapel st. If you can pull loads of chicks, why tell your mates? The last chick you pulled might now be his girlfriend, which would really freak him out. If you're really tough, then good on you, I hope the thought gives you comfort when you're in Gaol with Chester the molester sitting in your cell with a little smile on his face. If you've had loads of fights then then you're probably an arsehole anyway. It's funny, because most people know that it's true. Dragging people off at the lights is to racing what beating up an old man is to boxing, or picking up a retired prostitute at 5am while pissed is to landing a hottie. On a side note: I'm still bored.

While on the topics of SAU stickers... I had a bit of trouble getting mine on. I had to peel each letter off the plastic and stick it on the outside of the quarter window. They got a bit out of alignment. Did I c#ck it up? Who do I see to buy more stickers?

Paid today.

I think mobil 8000 is only 96 RON, but IIRC Bp ultimate is 98 RON. Though, I admit, I don't usually go for mobil.

Really? Then where the heck are you supposed to mount a boost gauge? Putting it above the dash makes a (small) blindspot, putting it in the air vent hole maks it too far out of the way to see. WTF?

1 set for me for RB20 Delivered to 3108

What's wrong with big tits? Apart from that, fast fours is the bottom of the barrel, though most Aussie import mags are. HPI used to be pretty good, but lately, all they seem to do is run stories glorifying their advertisers. Impartial evaluations would be nice, but when they have page fulls of adverts, then they ramble on about how great that product or car is in a story, it kind of cheapens the advice.

Yeah, I remember hearing a quote about that: "You can get the parts Quickly, Cheaply or in good condition. Pick two."

Hey kennedy, mind letting us in on what companies those are that have such short turn around time? I recently bought an HKS cat back from nengun. I paid on the 4th and it still hasn't shipped yet. It cost me $850 or so delivered. I checked locally and got a best quote of $1100 plus delivery through to $1400 from Autobarn. If 3 weeks will save me $300, so be it. But if I can get a similiar price quicker, well, then they'll get my business.
