  1. I killed an RB20 box with only 183rwkw out of my 25/30. For a 25 box conversion, you're looking at 2.5k just in parts so if you can do it yourself it's a lot cheaper
  2. I would figure out why it's misfiring before you bother upgrading turbo etc and trying to get it tuned. If it's not running right when you take it to be tuned you'll end up paying through the nose for the tuner to figure out what is wrong before he can even start tuning the car. Do some experimentation and analyses by trial and error.. start the engine and unplug each coil one at a time, see if it makes any difference. Can also swap coils from good to bad cylinders to see if it's the coil or the harness. Do the same with the injectors.
  3. I will need to check the dates but for me it's pretty much a Saturday day only thing.. if it turns out I'm not working and there's no training on the Sunday, I should be able to do the overnighter.
  4. Supercharged nitro rc engines are bullshit. The problem is that there are no "valves" in the engines so the intake path is never closed and hence cannot be pressurised. IMHO, if you want more go either get a bigger engine (my Savage runs a .28 with 3hp.. enough to do wheelstands in the 5ish kg truck), OR, get a NOS setup.
  5. The way I handle it with my mrs is, I make all the money and I like my toys. She likes shoes. Luckily her shoes aren't as expensive as my toys
  6. I hope you like living off a creditcard heh. 3.5k in parts in just the last week
  7. Fixed. And, cheers
  8. Yup, 5 cats When we get a bigger house (or I build a bigass cat run out the back), we'd like to get a Maine Coon - the biggest domestic cat breed you can get (not one of those wildcat cross jobs).
  9. They physically bolt up the same but I noticed that my GTR shroud has a panel missing behind the thermo fan whereas my GTSt one doesn't..
  10. Hey Tom, 2007 called - they want their pictures back P.S. I want me CB back
  11. 10th July is fine but that's a Friday.. I'd much prefer it during the day.. Sunday 12th is out due to training and the Sunday before (5th) is out due to a tournament (and the mrs's birthday.. good thing she fully support my paintball and doesn't mind me playing a tournament on her birthday! ) I've done a few trips down south in the Stag so far, most recently being Margs the weekend before last and Capel over Easter.. even slept in my swag in the back of the Stag in Margs, what an awesome Tourer
  12. The only time my 32 has ever stepped out when I didn't want it to was when I had shitty LingLongs on the back. Couple the shitty tyres with rockhard suspension and a 2way diff, it was rather scary.
  13. lol
  14. I would like the steering response to be like that of my R32.. I'm unsure as to whether it is purely electronically controlled or would requiring different valving parts though.
  15. Still got the same 5 cats but also looking after my mates Staffy for an extended period.
  16. Spotted this car on my way back from Capel today, greetings exchanged!
  17. That's because with those long golden locks, they think you're a girl
  18. Straight out of their paychq!
  19. LOL ya reckon?
  20. I saw a 34GTT the other day that actually used GT wing struts to hold his stock spoiler up (higher).
  21. Never heard of this mesh in front of cooler bullshit, my 32 passed without it and neither of my cars have mesh in front of the cooler and have never done so. Pod filter does need to be secured properly, I cut two brackets out of some 1.2mm ally sheet and bolt it to 2 of the holes that the stock airbox bolted to. Just sounds like you got a cock, address what you can on the list and anything that you think is bullshit, bring up with the pit inspector.
  22. My sards are fine, no rich idle issues and were supplied with plugs to suit - easy as. Only drama was they needed a couple of copper washers to space them off the rail as they seemed to be a few mm too short which resulted in them popping out of the manifold when it came on boost.
  23. One of the electrical engineers here at work was just bragging about taking it for a test drive on Friday night.. not a shitty 5min round the block test drive like all the purchasers though.. he got to take it out the back of gnangara and have some fun.. BASTARD! lol
