  1. the seals that are most common to leak, im guessing the ones that are cloest to the engine that the injectors sit in. Small ammounts of fuel noticable in the area.. didnt think a few seals would cost anywhere near 140bucks :-S
  2. As posted, have a leaky seal in on a few of my injectors, require 6 new seals and bascily a heads up on how to install them.. Thanks guys
  3. Got z32s now, cars runnin ok, very rich tho. Keep to go for a spin with a few other skylines on the weekend or when ever. I need to tune it as well. whats a good place to go to in townsville?

  5. clearly the ps3 is the supior console, the prosessor and system its seft is built to last at least 10years. you have the option of changing the operating system and other add ons, has built in wifi, has now an 80gig HD does not run as hot, more games, more expensive lol. yea ps3 is better.
  6. Agree with ni5mo, i was going to get the nizmo rims, bulk expensive and the way the exchange rate is at the moment ull be payin even more. Im sure if u were on a budget u could get some cheap junk from ozzytires, was quoted 2600 for 18s with tired deliverd. Not bad. However i wanted to stay Jap. :-)
  7. wont get much change outa 4grand for my type of rims, custom offset on rear. :-S and needed spacers for the Front, I think a nice set of R34 GTR rims will look nice and can pick them up for around 2/3k with tred.
  8. Ive got VS WORK rims, 18s with mega dish and fat tires, I think they will look nice on a 34
  9. condition of cooler is great, the fins etc are good, its a GTR intercooler so the dimentions are of that of a GTR one, The pump is in perfect working condtion its a few years old, I now have R34 GTT rims for sale as well with tred, 500 GREAT CONDITION!
  10. The point im getting at is people pay for 98ron fuel, They tune there expensive engines on 98ron, there expecting 98ron, Not 91 92 but 98 at a minumim, People would just like to see some consistancy with the fuel quality management and octain ratings, and yes there should be tests carried out daily on the fuel, How old the fuel is what batch number and an open display of the mornings FQC, That way u know what you pay for and it will then be consistant. I just hate complacency when it comes to fuel.
  11. Quots Muirsky, "Fuels fuel." prime example, but thanks for your input.
  12. This is interesting, A few mates of mine and my self conducted an expermint around Townsvilles Petrol stations, Bascily alot of the turbos vechiles around town had been losing performance and even i had encountered missfires and backfires. As part of my job within the Defence i am requried to conducted Fuel quality control checks prior to daily use, Main two fuels that i work with is Avtur( basicly deisol) and AVGAS ( bascily high octain petrol containing led or low led 110 or 100 octain rating very low flash point.) AS the fuel i work with is use on military aircraft its important that its tested constantly and monintered. The types of tests we conduct on fuels are, Fuel drain offs, basicly take a visual samlpe mainly drain off a bucket from the LOW POINT of the tank and collect fuel into a jar and inspect. Shell water detectors, ( 5mm of fuel is sucked up into a syringe with an water detector on the bottom of it,) This detector turns blue if any water is dected in the 5mm of fuel) Also visual test to look for particulate and water in droplets its self Conduct a mid sample from the middle of a fuel tanker, take a 1lt samle bottle and take to the lab.. Milipore testing.. This is the main test that tells as bascily every thing about the contition of the fuel. Milipore kit is a filter type element that fuel passes through thats connected to the nozzle of the hose. Hose is conected onto a cam lock and fuel is circulated around the tanker and fuel is filtered throuhg the milipore.. Then taken to the lab after a few thousands liters of fuel is transfured Ok finaly, At the lab you have your 1lt sample that we took form the mid point of the tanker and our milipore, Here we are able to conduct the following on the fuels, Flaspoint testing, octane rating testing, mixed product , water, levels of FSII ( fuel system iceing inhibrator,prevents fuels from freezing at high altitude,mainly in avtur. ANYWAY,,, So a few mates of mine went around Main petrol stations around Townsville to conduct fuel testing, I will not name the fuel stations for legal reasons i guess but the results were amazing and ull see why, The major fuel stations that most import car owerners use were tested, Firstly we drained of 20liters of high octain fuel being 98ron, small ammount was also put into a jar after the 20liters was drained into jerry can. The fuel was visualy inspected and shell water dected. we then drained 10liters of standard fuel just for a visual inspection. Then back to the lab for a flashpoint test etc This was done at three main BIG name petrol stations.. The restults were: First petrol station ( 98ron) FQC visual and shell water, water found, particulate found, octane number RON=( 92), Flash Point -(37)-40°C, Visual inspection on standard fuel( particulate and water dected) Second petrol station. (98ron) FQC visual and shell water. No water dected, minor particulate found, ouctane number (87! !) flashpoint -(36) -40, standard fuel, visual and water test, PASS. Third petrol (95 to 98ron) FQC pass, water pass, flaspoint -39 (-40) octain number 91 standard fuel failed the visual and failed the shell water test, At this point i was curious as to why the fuel was such poor quality and standard. I got a number of mixed answers, Firstly, that they had justed changed the batch of fuel from that morning, from reg to high, They dont conduct tests on the fuel as they have not have had formal traning on the fuel, fuel system or testes, They are only required to DIP the tanks its not there responsibility to test for water, Some times water gets in the storage tanks and people get water in there fuel' but its not ennough to affect vechiles in anyway (WRONG) Last one.. We didnt have much highoctane left and we switched loaded the reg tank into the high octain tank. becuase there was not going to be another odd load for 4 days.. People wont notice tho! (wrong) Are there filters in the refueling system and are they checked.? First station. Yes and yes, ok good second station. Im not to sure on that i can check for you. Third: same as last. As you can see from the test that i and my friends conducted the standard of fuel is very poor, We are not getting what we pay for, it is damaging our vechiles, companys are using incorrect procedures to suply fuel and staff are not quallified to correctly handel and test fuel( DAILY) Just to make sure, 6months later being from the original test date, we conducted the same test again. The results had changed in water wise, however the octain ratiing was still the same with higher then normal flaspoints all around.. Its a joke. A fellow test buddy found microbiological contaminate in the diesol he tested.. Cladosporium resinae!! Hope this was some usefull information to you... Personaly i use BP in my car. ;-) Sorry for the bad spelling and rammbling on.
  13. UPDATE MORE PARTS TO SELL AND NEED GONE Coil packs 100 intercooler 150 GTR fuel pump 150 GTR standard Airflow meters 200 All in good working condition PM me or email WIll post anywhere Cheers
  14. purchaced some z32 airflow meters today with bosh plugs just need to wire them up. Thanks WAZ Once installed am i able to slected on the power FC VG30 80mm airflow meters as thats what they are, its at the bottom of the list. It has 80mm rb25 one as well. Super, then R32 and R33 Normal. Will i require a tune. Any info will be handy Cheers again guys
  15. Ok another question, if i purchase BOSCH Z32Afms is it a simple swap over, is there any wire mods to be done. 330.00 each :-S Its worth it i guess.
