  1. Mine is the same, defi guage reads 0.7 (rs four s) no modification to anything regarding solinoid or actuator as far as i can see. this had me baffled for a while too. there is also no step in the boost.
  2. I risk repeating myself. You cannot charge a sealed battery yourself if it has been run completely flat. The car wont do it and niether will your home charger. The properties of the battery prevent it from taking a full charge unless you get it done by a shop with a proper charger. CCA is cold cranking amps is for starting and has little to do with anything when the engine is running. Modern engines need alot less and they usually start first pop.... unlike old carbie V8s. you dont need alot of CCA, it doesnt help alot if you want to run your stereo with t heengine of for long periods either, try a marine battery in the boot.....
  3. Yes I called and they said they have them, thanks for that!
  4. Is there a tow bar kit available or not?
  5. Would like some dolphin skirts, also I have dayz skirts for anyone interested.
  6. Well I do find it a pain in the arse, i cant get rid of it either, my windows are black so i cant see anything i just have to rock forward to sweep the mirror, My old panel van was worse. Black windows and no side mirrors. to change lanes i would check the car next to me , floor it and wait to see it in the rear vision then go.
  7. Its been done a few times and theyve gone broke. Not saying it cant be done though, I'd go there if there was one. As an aside I discovered that tempura was introduced to Japan around 1550 by the portuges so is it Japanese food?
  8. I don't get it, I dont have skinny/small arms as a rule and I can stand at the wheel and get my hand around the filter easily and my left hand fingers to balance pressure as I twist, too easy, it harder on the skyline but no problem on the stagea, what is the advantage in these kits beside removal?

    Mt Fuji Climb

    climbing at night its not easy to get any photos of worth, the idea is to watch the sun rise from the top but we only got a few glimpses trough the clouds and also not easy to get decent photos, the best photos of fuji are looking at it, not from it unfortunately. mind you try to get a shot of people sucking oxygen from cans, while you stand there smoking a cigarette. groups are very slow, its best to leave them and go at your own pace, (we got a bus up and back and they expected us to stay with the group, it was cheap) just make sure you let them see your face at the top. also its very cold waiting,climbing in shorts is great but have very warm jacket ect while you wait for the sun rise, the faster you go, the longer you wait and freeze!
  10. Some interesting comments, The middle bit was better, where MRGTR had a lot less input. I like how nuts out and pissed in a restaurant somehow manages to miss out on your idea poor form in a foreign country for the high and mighty , yes you carisma man.... ive got a tip for you, something to look forward to. As your japanese improves and the japanese get to know you, they can hate you for who you are, not just because youre a gaijin.

    Stagea Intercooler

    It fits no worries, after taking out the aircon fan. even goes behind standard bar though the front bar has to give a little. I just left the horns dangling and bolted them to where the top cooler attachment is after i got it in, I didnt even jack it up. the reo does cover quite a bit of it though. I ordered the gtt one if that matters, I dont think it does but there you go.
  12. Also varies on excess, lower excess=higher premium, jsut cars are cheaper but have a huge excess compared to shannons.

    Stagea Intercooler

    Exactly what ive been looking for, thanks for putting it up. Ive ordered one, will let you know if theres any problems but i doubt it, its all in the same place. cheers.
  15. Ive got these on my car and no one seems to know what they are, I need centering ring and caps. Does anyone know what they are? The center hole is about 67-70mm(hard to measure) and the shaft sticks out about 16mm from the surface of the rim. (on stagea) Any ideas? IMG_0169.pdf IMG_0171.pdf IMG_0167.pdf
  16. Stagea is smaller than gtr unless you have a rs four s or autech which are the same as the GTR
  17. I got a three year visa off my own bat after one year.
  18. You dont need nova to renew your visa, you can do it yourself, all you need is a job and proof of income, that includes working for yourself. To make it even easier there are some agencies that if you sign up for (minimal fee) they will do all the paper work for you and get it done and you dont even need to work for them if you dont want to. Nobody owns your visa but you. I heard so many conflicting stories from people and so I sussed it out myself and realised no one knows what theyre talking about. Japan is great for that, so much he said she said going on. grain of salt and all that.
  19. I have price lists for alot of models going back quite a few year, in japan from the dealers. ie no on road costs. Import duty, taxes and fees plus the importer profit = con. The v spec gtr in 2000 was 6,000,000 yen, the exchange rate was rat sh@t. point is considering cost of living wise 100 yen = 1 dollar, our car prices are very poor. government import duties and taxes protect high production cost in local manufacturing so we pay too much for cars to keep people working for holden in a job. sorry off topic
  20. A new gtt in 1999 was 2,900,000 yen or about 34,000 aus dollars, in japan. A gtr for that year was 5,000,000 yen or about 60,000 aus dollars. v spec add 500,000 yen. Most people in australia should feel scammed.

    Exhaust Help

    Has anyone found a down pipe that bolts streight up yet? I saw a thread a while back where poeple were having problems and needing to modify r34 or r33 ones but there was never a conclusion or word of a pipe that works streight out with no mods. nengun has one listed under the stagea search results, its listed as an r33 one so not sure, has anyone got one that bolts streight up? (series 2 manual) By the way,thermodynamics law of the gases describes the relationship between temperature-presure-volume. thats why you get an intercooler, increase presure = increase temperature= decrease volume(higher density). add intercooler. At other end, hot, high presure gas, give area for gas to expand (high volume dump pipe) = decrease presure = decrease temperature = increase volume (lower density)
  22. Bp ultimate is 98 RON, V-Power Racing is 100 RON, its the only pump avaliable 100 ron fuel in the country (premium fuel in japan is 100 ron). Ethanol is not cheaper to produce, in fact its more expensive and has the effect of pushing up crop prices in direct competion with food crops. it is a bullshit publicity stunt by producers. The fuel however is just fine.
  23. The Dayz is a factory option, whats so special? Just my opinion
