thanks guys

After having did a search without too much luck, I have a few questions regaurding boost controllers. Firstly, is there a huge advantage in having an Electronic Boost Controller over the average single or dual stage boost controller? From what Ive heard its an accuracy thing and maybe spiking with some brands? What brands are better? I was originally going for an Eboost2 but after finding about the cost of installation (around 200 +600 for the eboost2 which I was fine with) its going to get a bit rich. Also does anyone know anything about the brand TurboXS? Whether its any good? Seen alot of it sold at a parts shop at some good prices.

In my opinion, if you want diagnosis of difficult/weird problems, see Mark at Hills Motorsports. If you want a solid tune and your car has nothing wrong with it, go to Unigroup. If you just don't know and need the whole thing methodically checked over, UAS. Of course each of these has other things they can do/are good at. These are just the things I think they do very well. I put a post up asking about Hills motorsport some months ago, I have recieved a very mixed reaction which has left me confused, mostly negative feedback might I add. He is meant to have really good prices, but I have heard many instances where there were disputes..

Thanks alot mate. Just one question, by anaglog readout do you mean the bars that go along the bottom that light up?

I have a heap of bright white T10 led's which will fit your parkers. I'll sell them for $25 a pair including postage. PM me. I also have 1 or 2 pairs of phillips silver vision T10's which are also bright white, they give off a different kind of light compared to the LEDs. Ill sell these for $20 posted. PM me These globes also fit in for the rear number plate light and look awesome compared to the yellow shit.

Yeh i had tried that before originally posting, the PDF files are corrupted and wont open.

So it would be silly of me to go mounting an autometer boost gauge right next to it? OR would it still be worth it. Orthewise id just have a voltmeter instead.

Just looking into buying an Eboost2 controller and some new gauges. I've hit a wall deciding whether to get a boost gauge or not as Im not sure whether or not the Turbosmart Eboost2 controller has an actual boost gauge within its display. As I obviously dont want to have a separate auto meter boost gauge next to my eboost displaying the same info when i could have a voltmeter or another gauge etc. And I need to buy them at the same time as I am making a custom panel to mount them in my dash for a factory look. So my question is, to anyone that knows or has an Eboost controller, does it have a boost gauge which stays on while your driving, working like a digital boost gauge? Or does it just tell you what the boost is set at? I have tried ringing a few autobarn stores which sell them but nobody seems to know what they are on about, just giving me ummms and aaaahhhs.

Right on, if you pull out things like the washer bottle and the coolant bottle its not so ridiculously hard

Your the dude I bought the clear Skyline panel off! Do you have a heap of random bits for R33's or something? I'll come get the bootlid lining off you soon. PM me your number again. Thanks.

As the topic says, after an R33 boot lid lining, I understand they all come in the grey colour. Item in any condition considered. Just using as a guide to fabricate a new one. Located in Castle Hill area of Sydney. Please Post Pics or PM. Thanks

Can you please put up more pics of that silver R33 which you did? Looks great, need some ideas for mine.

When people look at you amazed when they see you start your car and your mirrors fold out...

... when your constantly getting new back tyres

8 gauge will do the job, if the battery is in the boot, but I would probably use 4 gauge for power and earth cables just to be safe, only if you do go the additional mono block amp. If its just the 4 channel amp 8 gauge will be sweet. If you need to split the cables you can use a distributer block such as in the link: http://images.google.com.au/images?sourcei...sa=N&tab=wi This basically makes the cable go in as one 8 or 4 gauge and then spits out as many 8 gauge cables as you need (1 for each amp). These have fuses in them also, but you should still have a fuse near the battery. You can use one 60 amp fuse, place closed the battery, the cable from the battery to the fuse shouldn't be longer then about 30cm (so Ive been told by many) otherwise it wount protect your equipment as well. If you start blowing the 60 amp fuses easily when you turn it up a bit, go for an 80 amp, and it should be all good. This will all depend on how much power your amps have. Just make sure you have really good grounding points. This can make or break your system!

a mate of mine bought a fibreglass bonnet bulge off the new XR8's/GT's to put on his 67 Mustang, we sat it on the bonnet of his Skyline just to see what it looked like and to our surprise it looked pretty good! The idea died when we thought about how much shit we'd cop for putting Falcon bits on a Skyline..

Yeh I have the lenses ready to go, which I kind have to make custom fit, I just cant get the bloody old lenses off, its like they have glue on them. Have you dont it before?

Had a go at changing one of the round indicator lenses on the front of my 33 series II, I have got the whole indicator/foggie assembly out, and at the point where Im trying to unclip the lense. I can clearly see how these clip on but it seems as through they are so tight, that I cant get them off without doing damage. Has anyone done this before? Is there some sort of silicone in between holding them on as well as the clips? Any ideas?

As long as its all quality stuff I wouldnt be worried, so therfore you should be fine. Where alot of people go wrong is spend big on speakers and subs, then buy a $100 1200w boss audio amp from strathfield and then wonder why it sounds sh1t.

T10s are like parker globes, these are different all together, they have like a domed glass and a metal cup like base, it sort of looks like a miniture household light globe. Any ideas anyone??

Just looking to change the globes for the Reading lights in an R33 (the 2 push button lights on the roof), does anyone know the name/type/size of these?? As I'm looking for a way of finding them off an ebay store. Thanks.

Surely there are more than these few garages that tune PowerFC's ??

BUMP still wanted! Please PM

speaking of tuners can anyone reccomend a good one in the western sydney area?

Yeh I know I just thought Id give everyone some feedback etc etc
