evesdropping

That's just your taste, which was exactly my point. some think r34 is too boxy, some think r33 is a big fat boat some think r32 looks too old. Everybody has different taste. There are good and bad points about all models, it just depends what appeals to you.

Why? because his opinion differs to yours? Thats what taste is buddy.

so you replace the filter with the dodgy mesh and no filter? hmmm

dude, there are pics all through this thread. There really isn't all that much to it. Just cut the wire shown in the pics and connect a ground to it. If it doesn't work just solder the wire you cut, back together. easy

I always get the same feeling when I get my car serviced. Not just the skyline, but every car I have had. It's weird, the car feels smoother and nicer but slightly slower. I ended up deciding it was all in my mind. it is interesting that you say the same thing.

dude, you must really love that mid north coast police car site. Every thread you have started is a link to it.

received my cable in the post yesterday. looks good but I haven't had a chance to hook it up yet. I'll test it out tonight. Thanks Peter. nice work.

Where did that term come from anyway? I can't say I have heard it used before and the whole time I've been reading this thread I've been trying to work out the relevance of the word dose to flutter. Am I missing something or is it just a random word?

If it's only a year till you can have a turbo one, i'd just buy a cheap economical car for a year, and use the money saved on petrol, insurance and buggerizing around making it NA, to modify the turbo one when you are allowed to drive it. The price for the car will come down in 12 months as well. You would really just be throwing money down the drain if you paid for someone to convert it to NA and then paid them again 12 months later to turn it back to turbo. Thats got to be a couple of grand spent on a car that after the outlay of extra money is still a stock GTT.

Talk about wanting to lose your lisence. Any one of those cars behind him could have been an undercover police car (or a highway patrol car for that matter, you couldn't see very well through the smoke). I reckon that if I did something like that, it would definitely be my luck that a police car would be there. I guess he has a higher opinion of his luck than I. lol at the 'fully sickness' of it all

I forgot to say confirmed, so, confirmed. Thanks, can't wait. It's going to be well cool.

sweet, I must've just done it wrong. Thanks for that.

I remember seeing a car (don't remember which) that lit up the footwell when the door is opened. I wanted to try and hook something up like that, so I unscrewed the switch in the door that activates the dome light, pulled it out, stripped back a piece of wire and connected a wire to power the light. The problen is, it works, but backwards, i.e. when the door is open, the footwell light is off and when the door is closed, the footwell light is on. The dome light functions as normal. I guess this means it is some sort of relay. Does anyone know where I could connect it to get power when the dome light gets power? Or how I should set it up...

"Hello, this is Homer Simpson aka Happy Dude! The court has ordered me to call every person in town to apologize for my telemarketing scam. I'm sorry. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, send one dollar to : Sorry Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield. You have the power! 'Sorry Dude'

Only problem is, it only stops Australian Telemarketers. It cannot be enforced for call centres in India and the likes, so It just means more calls from people with less than perfect English as the call centres will move off shore.

It probably isn't illegal to vent it if it isn't hooked up to the engine at all, the main problem is that it is a waste of NOS (which, correct me if i'm wrong, isn't cheap). If you are going to all that effort and spraying out proper NOS, wouldn't it be better to hook it up so it actually does something, then when people call you an absolute wanker, you can whip out a vid of you actually using NOS on the track or something.

I think the funniest bit is that they have the frequent raters list on the side, some of these people have managed to rate over 100 number plates. They are obviously just itching for someone to do something wrong so they can write a scathing comment about them. Something tells me that these 'frequent raters' are probably the people that have chronic road rage.

Saw this on another forum and checked it out... www.ratetheplate.com.au I can see what they are trying to do, but to me it seems that there is a lot of emotion attached to many of the posts and is in a way a progression of road rage. I suppose they think that if someone leaves bad feedback for another driver, that driver may read it and change their ways. I find it funny that there are some hero's on there that manage to report multiple people for bad driving everyday (Guess they were the guys that got rejected from the police force and are now making up for it by becoming internet vigilante's. I checked all the plates Ive had over the past few years and all of them came up clear , What about the rest of you? Any other views on this site?

thats actually quite strange. If you cut the wire from the ecu and it is now connected to nothing, it shouldn't change psi at 4500rpm. It should be hi boost the whole way, or if you have a bad ground it should be low boost the whole way. It can't change at 4500 if the wire from the ecu isn't connected to the solenoid. Strange

spotted a black 33 with buddy club stickers on the side, near the start of the harbour bridge last night at around 6pm (give or take 20 mins), heading towards the city. Pretty sweet

Yeah, there was less of a selection of stock ones, and heaps of the modified ones were sweet, but I have to meet clients a lot and generally arrive and leave in my car, so a really loud car with a crazy bodykit can give a bad impression to the people I have to deal with. So a sleeper is the only option for doing it up. If you want some the modifications, it's generally heaps cheaper to get one with them already done (the purchase price wouldn't be cheaper, but in the long run it ends up cheaper) Obviously make sure to get an inspection done to check that it isn't stuffed. A lot of dealers offer a 3 year warranty (for a price) Goodluck

I'm 22 and have been insured since 17 with no accidents or liscence suspensions and it costs me 1600 for a stock one with rims and a decent stereo. I also got a quote for when I've done all the stuff I want and it is 1800. (Turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Aftermarket computer, suspension, sway bar, strut brace) That was through Just Car. Less than I expected. Suprising thing was, it would have cost me 2200 for a GTIR pulsar.

That may be just as effective. I haven't tested the fridge as such, because it said on the instructions no to fill it wth liquid (I assume this is because it is not 100% sealed). It does cool 9 cans down noticeably within 20 mins or so, or if they are coolish already it will cool more. I figure if the car was cold when it was started, the fridge would at least maintain the cool temperature of the water, combating the engine heat that would otherwise be warming the water. I guess mounting the resovoir outside the enginebay in a place with good airflow would have the same effect.

Thats how I set it up, I just noticed when I was fiddling with it that the water was quite warm due to the engine bay temperature. If the water temperatutre could be significantly decreased, wouldn't the performance increase?

So I was thinking about this, and then I was thinking about my little car fridge getting a bit run over by a trailer rendering it working, but ugly. Then I thought, I could possibly use the ugly car fridge to cool the water for the intercooler sprayer. I figure there are two ways to do this. 1. Remove the metal element from the fridge and have it sitting under the water bottle I use for the sprayers. 2. Cut a rectangular hole out of the bottom of the water bottle and fit the cooling element in there, sealing the edges with silicon or something. I think the second method would be more affective as there is direct contact between the cooling element and the water, however I am not sure wether it would be ok to have the element in direct contact with liquid. (I guess it would be ok as long as none of the other components were exposed to water, anyone know?) Do you think this would have a worthwile effect on the temperature of the water?
