Its most certainlly the cheapest... Dont forget you can get the spark plugs in a six pack and save about 5-6 bucks... So find the ones ya want and if they dont have any 6 packs ask a staff member... Last time i bought copper plugs i got a free one from super cheap... Now i use iridium so i dont need plugs for anout 50,000km's or more... LOL Once ya plugs are in (dont forget to gap em down to 0.8mm if u got standard coil packs) dont over tighten them. Check to see that the contact in the bottom of the coil packs is still spring'y as they need to cntact the top of the plug to get maximum spark. If this does not help your situation then do a search on glueing you coil packs... But i reckon 90% chance its the plugs...

Im keen to go for a drive this arvo to have a look see... While there is still a little light... -
On a side note... If it were you CAS the engine would not run at all... They dont miss one cylinder...
-
If it occurs because of heat and you have not done the plug for a while and its only just started happening you will find its a cracked plug... Coil packs can be a possibility or the harness to the coil packs but 90% chance its just ya plugs... Buy a full set of copper ones if you dint have much money they will cost ya about $5 each from super cheap... Gap then to about 0.8mm if you have standard coil packs and bob's ya uncle.

Power Fc Tune - Unique Autosports
Col-GTSX replied to Primordial's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I think he is refering to the original tune afr's... I guess thats what you get when people confuse before and after shots... -
Call autobarn doughboy... Thats where i heard about it... One of their guys owns the car at head office in sydney. He is one of their purchasing officers or something. It has autobarn decals all over it. I was told by autobarn virginia about the car after enquiring about getting a kit for mine.

Appealing For A Suspened License For Thoese People Has Done This Before

Ummm be careful about saying you were not speeding tho... One of the guys who was caught and faced court said "I didnt speed, they are wrong" The officer presented a recording and it went a little something like this. *Officer is walking towards the car. All you can hear is breathing Officer says "What is your reason for doing (blah) in a (blah) zone" Guy says "Ummmmm.... I dont have a reason" Officer continues on from there presenting the ticket and so forth with no word from the guy saying he was not speeding. No mention about it at all til the end when the guy asks how do you appeal tickets.... LOL... All on digital recorder.... The gudge looked at this guy with like a weird grin and said "Nuts" or something allong those lines. He got pinned to the wall. Was quite funny to be honest, the guy didnt say another word and just accepted the fine. -
I have come to the conclusion you had the shed assembled as when i did my titan it took 4 guys about 8 hours to put the frame up and then me by my self about 60-70 hours to do the rest... So you must have got it installed yeah... With the water tank the cement the shed and the driveway you have spent enough to buy a GTR there.... But its worth it....
-
Oh baby... She looks hot... PS. I just showed the Mrs and she said "NO"... I mean i didnt even say anything... So i notice you have a bit of storage area above the end bit too there. Very smart, and a water tank and pump setup. Also very smart, i wish i had what you have there. Its a perfect setup. Plus you went the extent of putting down bitch-a-men all the way down to the shed. You are a quick mover the other day it was all wet cement and now its ready for some cars... WOW... You even got enough driveway for a donut pad...

I think he means they didnt want to give him lifts... They were obviouslly using him for his skyline...

Col-GTSX replied to Silver_R34_GT-T's topic in Queensland
This is the spot im talking about... If ya want go and have a look at it. Quite obvious where it is. As you pass it you will notice exactlly why i suggested it. Cause at night you can have your car in the for-ground and the city in the back ground and it would look amazing... The area there is around the outside of that bend... -

Mate the gravel area im talking about is huge and mostlly un populated until after 10-11 at night... (As people are ready to make a moment, if you know what i mean. ) Anyways ill dig up a map and try and point out where the area is. This spot is awsome for night time long exposure photography and im more than keen to try it out tommorrow night to see what its like. -

We went out Mt cootha a few weeks ago to find it packed. However half way down the mountain there is a large gravel area. Where many people pull over to share a moment. But its big enough to house many skylines for a photo opp. Im not sure how low is too low to get into this area. May want to scout it out first. But it is perfectlly normal to see a few cars parked there. Its public land and can easily used and then we can push on again. I suggest a few long expsure shots on this spot will achieve a fantastic result. -
You will save heaps on tyres tho and the membership dollars will pay for itself when you save $100 or more at bob jane t marts...
-
Yeah start a new thread to discuss the possibilities and then once you have it confirmed. Tell me and ill rename it to what you want and you can edit the first post to show all the confirmed details... Also this way everyone will have a look at it and you can confirm an email notification to all interested parties... Same way as i did the meet and greet in the members area... Except its not confirmed yet...
-
I reckon start a new thread with the date as the sub title in the qld section... Good photo locations at night are: Kangaroo Point DFO Riverside Southbank Breakfast creek Mt Cootha Then we can invite "no33" to join in on a cruise that is advertised in public.
-
In short please post up the details of your cruise. If you wish to meet and greet we make it public knowledge not secretive. If you are on the other hand suggesting that the cruise may contain illegal activities then let me be the first to say "Not on SAU". Please PM me your intentions.

Appealing For A Suspened License For Thoese People Has Done This Before
Col-GTSX replied to MFC05's topic in Queensland
Chris is right you know... What i was trying to say in my last post is that i sat there and watched the proceedings and no one was granted a work licience (execpt one with a very good reason). The gudge cut them all down, he was very hard on all of them. My understanding is that you need to be lucky on the day to win. -
You also have the right to not swear on a public forum... Edited... You also have the right to join the club and attend member cruises... Ok on a nicer note: You can post details of your proposed meet in the public forum. The Police believe it or not dont want to be a$$holes, they are simplly doing their job. You mentioned Milton for instance. McDonalds have not compalined about the extra business a Thursday night brings to them. BP on the other hand have complained to the Police about theft of products and fuel almost every thursday night. The other complaints have come from XXXX, 2 months ago a truck hit a WRX in the Black st which was totally the WRX's fault. The down side is that most of the truck drivers drive like tools to scare people and run close to cars on purpose to intimidate. So Milton is now classed as a hot spot due to the amount of complaints generated by the local business on a Thursday night. Not cause the Police feel like it. It goes the same for any spots where many people meet. Aspley is fairly wild some nights and this calls for action. I have seen 2 people run over in that carpark before which caused a massive punch up with about 50 people involved and over 10 cars with major damage. You need to understand that everyone thinks their hard done by when they deal with the police but thats not the case. Where were the Police when this punch up occured??? Yes there are some really nasty cops but there are also nice ones. Last Thursday night i was at Milton, i was enjoying a few beers with mates at the entrance and talking cars. One copper came along and said "Having a few beers boys". We said yeah, he said "fair enough, as long as ya not driving". 10 minutes later the owner of the car i was in was about to be fined for having fishing rod holders on his bullbar. The copper yelled uit out from 20 metres away. Everyone one around freaked out as tho it was gonna be a ticket blitz. As the copper got closer he said "Take off down the side street and remove the rod holder for next time". SAU has never attracted Police attention to a cruise or meeting point in the past. As the Police know us a suporters of the law and we encourage racing for the track. Not to mention we do not menice people when we meet or cruise. Sorry about the long post but i felt it was nessary to explain from the police prospective.

Interesting topic... I did this same homework about 4-5 months ago... I found after speaking to many people that the Trust TD06-25 was the best option for an Rb25 engine... 2 reasons. The autobarn sponcered R33 in sydney was and has been doing mid to high 10's for about 1 year now on pump fuel and still internally stock. Secondlly you can get a whole kit from trust... I mean all the bits needed to make it all work for an r33 skyline. Including all washers/gaskets/pipes the lot... Only trust and HKS make such kits that include everyhting... I hate hidden costs... I spoke to Matt Spry about the right turbo choice also... His recomendation was to go for the Trust unit over the garrett as there are so many garrett turbos and design types who really knows what their getting... He mostlly aggreed with the kit idea for a DIY install... He said HKS would be nice also but a little pricey... Then i enquired about the 11 second Trust kit with autobarn to find out it is $7900... So i gave up and decided to buy another house...

Well then why would they only tell us about 121 points??? I sence some ceffy envy
-
I had a read of this at work... Thing i dont understand is I work with a guy who has lost 140+ points and owes over 20 grand in fines still and yet they call this smuck the worst??? I reckon the media dont know what their talking about.

When racing (qld raceway) I know my car is not setup the same as a V8 supercar and therefore im not chasing their lap times... Alot of people do... Ill go as fast as i feel comfortable... I feel that if you push you self to the limits of the car you will have a greater chance of stuffing up and damaging youself or the car... Which is something i cant afford to do... I do the same in hill climbs and targa... I have the car setup to handle more than i can give it... This way i drive to my gut feeling and dont push it too hard and finish the race everytime... May not win but hey im in it for the fun... To me this course sounds like they are gonna cram more info into you skull then can possiblly be remembered... Remember knowledge can be a dangerous thing... LOL Whats the cost???

What do you mean catch up... I was driving in my usuall morning granny state on the way to another exciting day of work... LOL
