  1. same, and full by about 2200 (1 bar), it was like a switch, but from there onwards it's boring, nothing really happens. This is quite modified though, exhaust, cooler, pod, ecu, tune, ebc, etc etc Once you free up the intake / exhaust, it runs a lot better. My boost was running at 10psi with no boost controller, only mod was a front mount intercooler.
  2. Just so everyone knows, the tyres listed are the only ones being offered at this price to anyone on SAU. SAU:NSW has an exclusive deal with Federal tyres for its members allowing them good prices on any size tyre.
  3. no, but now that you know who pinched it, you're in big trouble
  4. Suitable for the drags yes (not as much as actual drag tyres like Mickey T's though) Daily driver? Not so much. They will be very slippery in the wet and will wear down a little bit quicker then your standard tyre. EDIT: Apparently not as bad as I thought, read down. I know people, one R34 GTR Nur spec in particular, that runs semis all the time and is daily driven. His choice of tyre is Federal as well
  5. Hmmmm digital scales... What business did you say you were in again Merli?
  6. Here is an honest review of them from Abo-bob, the SAU:NSW President: On a personal note, I used these on the front of my car at the last SAU track day. I had RE55's on the rear which are some of the best semi slicks there are. IMO, the Federals were half way between street tyres and the RE55's. They gripped well but were outgripped by the RE55's. The thing that made them so good though, was that after a full day out on the track, they barely look used at all. I am intending to put these on all 4 and use them on the street as well because I'm lazy and don't want to change wheels all the time. The other thing I noticed was that the Federals warmed up in the first lap but the RE55's took about a lap and a half. Neither went greasy despite many laps. Street tyres will do this though. So you can do heaps of laps in them and quick warm up means they may be good for hillclimbs perhaps and other disciplines where there isn't much time to warm the tyres. I guess my point here is that they are not the most grippy semi slicks around, but they are better than streeters and as a value for money proposition, they are outstanding.
  7. This is a limited time offer to all members of SAU from the kind people at SAU:NSW and Federal Tyres ALL THAT'S LEFT GUYS!

    No worries buddy, glad to help

    Help !

    No worries, I hope that's it for your sake, cause if it's not, you'll have to do some more searching
  10. DRD-00F

    Help !

    Buy a new steering wheel would be the proper fix, but taping it up and putting the airbag back on will be a good enough fix that you probably own't ever think of it again Maybe check out some info on taking the steering wheel off cause it can cause airbag and HICAS errors if you do it wrong. Point of advice, don't connect the battery while you'r doing it at any point, make sure it's all back together when the battery goes back on. I don't think it dampers, it would seem a bit weird to put weights in an already heavy steering wheel just for that...

    Help !

    Apparently to make it uniformly balanced. They don't, and the standard wheel is shit... it's not even mounted perfectly in the centre! But to be honest I'm just fussy
  12. DRD-00F

    Help !

    Bingo! You can take it out if you want, just don't get yourself into any drift comps
  13. DRD-00F

    Help !

    same thing happened to me the morning of last years new years eve... left a party at like 7am... made a LOT of enemies I found out that the plastic holders that hold the metal weights in place to balance the steering wheel had broken and the metal weight was earthing the horn, making it go off... can you hear a rattling in your steering wheel at any time?
  14. all tied up at the moment I voted CRD, they built RH9, GTR700 and a few other sub 9 cars... They know what they're doing, but they're EXPENSIVE!
  15. Nah they're not on the nur, it's now got the numberplates 'NUR'
  16. You have the wrong boss kit or you have installed it the wrong way round
  17. Read the turbo upgrade thread and read for yourself! LINKY!
  18. so... running a standard turbo then? I heard about this beast through Marijan who was entered into Auto Salon: Final Battle with us in his IMMACULATE GT40 equipped 32 GTR... Definately keeping an eye on that workshop
  19. Those plates used to be on a Nur spec...
  20. Yeah mine's just tucked in there as well, but was tucked in quite well, haven't noticed it moving... Weird how brackets don't really exist for it hey... Might have to make some!
  21. This is never off topic If it pleases and sparkles, I can live with that. I'm sure any previous mistakes will be rectified this time around
  22. My brother lost a wheel once while driving... It rolled through an intersection and into the side of a van. He claimed it on insurance This was his car at the time We haven't stopped giving him shit about it yet
  23. I'd have to agree with the Series 1 turbos being stronger, but would also say the series 2 spool up faster. But when standard we're only talking like 100rpm or something anyway, it's pretty much instant!
