Date added you old fool Yes I would like to go, no I cant make it as Ill be at a conference on the GC. But I will be at jams again, in the middle see ya there.

Techniclly they are forged, they are however flat top pistons. I thought I explained that, in short they dont have the usuall valve indentations, reason why is so I can use a 1mm head gasket and keep compression at a reasonable level. So in short the pistons I have will cop just as much punishment as others on the market, just offer lower compression than the usuall forged items. So I compensate with a smaler/thiner headgasket to make the difference. Make sense? Why do it this way, well flattop pistons offer faster ignition, more efficient, ummm how do you say like more even ignition. Hard to explain withoutusing my hands But the GT500 cars run flattop pistons, gives more torque down round the 1000-2500rpm range. Disadvantage, hard to find and costlly. I got mine through perfectrun they are Jun items, I bought mine when they made discontinued at $1400 AUD. Which is a lot less than they usually sold for. I think they were just trying to get rid of the last couple of sets. I guess you spend about $1400 on pistons anyway. But yeah, the pistons are not cast, they are forged in that sense. Just not the usuall design tops. Side note, the manifold I got was for mok-up purposes. It was sent away and reconstructed and re-inforced before use. I also had it heat treated and crack tested. I was going to go a 6boost manifold, but he had supply/demand issues at the time and I could not wait. Doing it the way I did it was costlly tho.

Also in addition, I should mention back when I bought my S2, the common market value was 30k. I didnt pay that as I imported it through SVI, but even selling it at 22k id be loosing about 40k once you take into account the money spent... But I have no place for it anymore and dont drive it anymore, so what else am I suposed to do with it? You dont think 22k is reasonable? Had quite a few enquires in the last week, two people inspected but I refused a test drive until the get a cover note for insurance.

Awesome, 7 months passion will be rewarded. Im sure you have a smile from ear to ear.

Just finished washing mine and Nays car out on the road. Been raining quite heavy here at home, so I decided to adorn the rian coast and go and do it, arhhhh beaustiful rain finish...

Settle pettle... Noel everyone needs to spend a few pennys to get to 300rwkw and make it all day everyday. Just cause my wastegate was from ebay does nto mean that the rest is not good stuff. Just the prep work on the block cost me $800, then the boring, acid dip and clean up was another $1000 (however this price did also cover the crank linishing) Pistons were just over $1400 with rings, Bearings were about $600, but that was a full kit inc gugen pins and so forth. If I remeber right the rods were about $400 second hand, then a further $300 for xray and peining. Custom pipe work for the charged air side of the turbo was just over $1400 with HPC coating. The turbo cost me just on $2000 with fittings (this was a bit of a rip off this should have been 1500 through slide, but I had 2g worth of autobarn vouchers to use) So on and so on... What makes you think I have not spent just as much money as you? Infact I bought all of my gear when the aussie dollar was weak, so im sure if I bought it all again id save quite a bit of money. (Maby even thousands on todays exchange rate). As for the selling price for an R33, these days a S2 is worth about 16k clean. Add the mods up for just a basic setup from stock and tell me 22k is not worth it!

Nothing..... Yet, my plan was for 300rwkw. I thought id have to do cams to get there but once i got there i realised i didnt need them. But I guess time will tell, with the price so low, its hard not to just do it... Wrong! Least his car will be running in a few weeks

You should post that sorta thing is the "Cop car register" thread ---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...amp;hl=register Wont hurt to give it a bump...

Second that, I see he has beefed the guards some what... Thats exactlly what I was thinking.

Disreguard that last got smoke, check this one out and this one inside a house...

Yeah i miss words all the time, spelling is not my strong suit either. But i guess sitting on the floor typing is not so good for the back either. Need to buy a new desk, I gave away our old one when we moved, silly.

I would not used the word idiot if you actually knew who closed them or why they were closed. Admin dont do it to stop you having fun, they have their fair share reason.

Got SMOKE --->

Sony are the HKS version in the electrical goods industry... Good at everything but specialise in nothing

I dont understand the new system and I guess I dont need too... But imagine the ultimate sleeper, a skyline with P plates that looks like an NA but has like 1000hp People will see the P plate and go, hahah your under 150kw (what ever the limit is) and then they get blown away, would be funny to see... Maby we should wear P plates at the drags just for fun... Or L plates...

Honestlly Andy im with you, my personal belief if that if I was to buy cams then id be buying Tomei. Not that i know ones better than the other, cause i dont. Its like panadol, if i got a headache i buy panadol nothing else. Cause i know it works and its what ive always used.

Actually I was reading this story below this morning over breakfast in the local quest newspaper. There was a story of a mother and son arrested for impersonating police, So there you go!!!

Whats wrong with buying a pintara and calling it a skyline??? Assuming once you put and RB20det in it and change everything over like brakes and suspenson

Awesome news John... Keep up the good work Look forward t seeing you at jam's

Spend your money on power, its easier...

Do you also mean ENZED?

I was thinking of two different things there spook, hence the edit... But yeah the lcd can have a higher res, but they cost a lot more. Like a 1366x768 plazma 50" would rrp round the $3499 in Samsung their same 1366x768 50" LCD rrp's round the $3699 mark in Samsung that said their 1920x1080 50" LCD rrp's round the $5999 mark in Samsung So i guess you get what you pay for... Yes 1080 is the best on the market today but is it worth the money, well only a question the buyer can answer.

I also watch downloaded material via my screen with surpurb quality. So as you can see there are stories for and against both technoligys. Im sure either way what ever you choose you will be happy as you will have made a big upgrade from your old box.
