bah unfair, just found out my light up garnish wont make it here in time for the photoshoot need another opportunity to show it off haha

supposedly .5W = 5km so 1W should be more than enough, might go pick one up next time im in canberra. Wheres the nearest Dick Smith to gunghalin btw? Some pretty cheap ones on eBay aswell

theory

Any tips on where to pickup a cheap CB? Been wanting to get one for a while but couldnt justify spending a lot of money on one

Done, will be there for sure. No drinking and gambling for me on Friday i guess

Just bought from Harold at Performancelub.com (lub, not club) and couldnt recommend him highly enough. 5x .95L Mobil 1 10W30 EP ($58, last time it cost me $89) 5x .95L Redline Lightweight Shockproof ($99, have seen some places charging $110) 6x NGK Iridiums suit R33 ($77, saw $130 at a few other places) Saved myself about $75 after P&H

Well i finished work early today and spent the past 3 hours checking some things out under and around the car, tightening bolts and reattaching pipes. Found 5 pipes with holes/splits or pipes which were starting to come off, fixed them all and revs dropped from 1500 warm to 1100. There is still a hissing sound though and its from a pipe near the fuel rail, cant pick which one but im just going to replace all the rubber tubing anyway, sick of these dam vac leaks, seems to happen atleast once a month Munkyboy - whenever i adjust the screw on AAC to lower revs it causes the car to shake, as in sitting in the drivers seat you get pushed side to side. Raising the revs with screw gets rid of this problem though. My guess is the screw is set right but another leak vac leak is causing the idle to be a bit higher then normal GTST and Mafia - That was the other thing i had a look at and that looks to be the answer, the gap is on the underside, the shop that fixed the exhaust for me (had to modify hangers) mustn't of tightened the 2 bottom bolts, makes sense, was about 2 weeks after i installed the exhaust that i took it to the shop for a few parts to be fixed... Dunno why that didnt click earlier :X Cheers for the help

Early Friday (between 5 and 8pm) is perfect for me, later and i'll already be drinking

no tyres to be oversized

Haha i wouldnt be surprised, have had the same piece of piping (connects from aac to boost 'reader' (that little black box)) split atleast 3 or 4 times on both ends and its starting to go again, running out of pipe Will give the soapy water trick a go next weekend. I'll take the car in to my mates work next week and see what he says, will just avoid hitting boost till then, all highway driving anyway so shouldn't be too hard

haha what the hell were you doing out here 1am on a sunday? Hunting? Yea if it isnt rabbits, turbo bunnies (first time i saw a hare i couldnt stop laughing, they run along normal but as soon as a dog gets close they hit boost and go from 30km to about 100km in half a second - hence turbo bunnies ) or kangaroos then its peoples stray dogs, shits me off people dont keep their dogs locked up at night, one night im going to hit one and probably get shot

it idles at 1500 warm (close to 2000 on cold start) I know its something to do with the IACV and plan on taking it off and inspecting first chance i get. Was unsure if the auto take off was unrelated to the high idle though. Would explain why it only revs to 1500 without foot on accelerator in 1st. zertek - how would i determine if its the wastegate as ive already checked a few of the minor rubber pipes fly-4dr - What do you mean by rev out?

Well this is a problem i've had for a few weeks now (2 weeks after installing turbo back exhaust (3" BATMBL split dump, cat and HKS silent high power)) and with an upcoming Dyno Day i want to get it fixed. Car is pretty much stock except for the previously mentioned turbo back exhaust Basically what has started occurring is a very loud "sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh' sound when the car hits boost causing very little power to be made, spooling up is fine but as soon as the gauge reads above 0psi its makes that ungodly noise. Have been advised it could be the wastegate being stuck open/ broken spring but wanted a second opinion or possible other causes (leaks, faulty gasket on dump pipe etc.) Second problem is to do with the accelerator/throttle cable, I noticed today when i was searching around for any major leaks that may be causing the previous problem that my accelerator cable has a lot of slack in it. Also possibly related is my car takes off like an automatic, in that in 1st gear if i take my foot off the clutch at a stand still it will begin accelerating and picks up speed till it reaches 1,500rpm. Thanks for any help Alex

Finally got to spot a lot of skylines Silver 33 exiting multi-story carpark in Civic around 1:30pm (only saw the front, dam traffic lights) Dark Grey and Dark Red 32 GTRs in Fyshwick around 2:30pm Silver 33 Turning off northbourne towards Dickson RTA around 3pm White 33 heading down Antil street through lights at 3pm aswell aswell as the white 33 and gold 33 in Fyshwick

ok i'll have to take the dump pipe off again then and have a look, why would this of happened 2 weeks after the install though?

Hey im having a similar problem to this, it spools and sounds normal until it hits boost and then that really loud airy sound starts (ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh as 4door described ), car makes very little power aswell when this happens. Car is a stock R33 GTST with HKS High Power Silent and BATMBL split dump and cat and the problem only occurred about 2 weeks after the exhaust was installed. Its not the gasket between the turbo and exhaust as this was a new metal gasket with a fair bit of gasket cement so where would be a good place to start looking for split pipes or leaks. Thanks, Alex

In for sure, have been meaning to book myself in for one for a while now, money will be sent in 20 seconds and a pm with info following

Have to agree with the staying away from audiotech, they did my alarm and charged for all these features (microwave sensor to detect anyone inside car, self arming and self-closing windows when armed) that werent installed and the sensor that detects if the bonnet is closed broke the first time i closed it...

hehe sorry i didnt show, set my alarm nice and early but fell back asleep and woke up at 10am
