  1. my advice is forget the centre feed rail idea. use the centre port for the reg and have a twin feed (1 in each end). from what I know it's a better way to do it. just split your fuel feed into 2 after the fuel filter.
  2. 33s are different arms. different arrangent of how the upper arm bolts to the upright.
  3. the problem with this whole plan is that is escalates a civil/traffic offence into a criminal offence. if you have Mr. A. and he is cruising along a deserted highway (marked 110) at 135 in his modified holden commodore GTS (worth say $60,000), he has a history of speeding offences at the rate of about 1 a year. now he sees a police car closing in on him lights and sirens ablaze. under current law he is looking at a fine, he will incur demerit points and possible loss of licence. he is quite likely to pull over and take it like a man. he may or may not change his behaviour but most likely he will at least reconsider the way he drives on the road. under this proposed law, same situation. he is now looking at loosing $60,000. It's plausible that he will decided to take his chances and outrun the cops as loosing $60,000 is a punishment that in no way reflects the seriousness of his crime and will cause him severe financial hardship for years to come. Now once he makes this conscious desicion to evade lawful arrest then he is in a whole new league of offences. Plus as he now accelerates to get away the risk of a serious accident to him or the pursuing officers becomes pretty high. He will be determined too as if he is caught now not only will he loose his $60,000 car, he will be looking at possible jail time. He's now involved in criminal behaviour and is definitely dangerous to others on the road.
  4. I woulds say you haven't got GTR brembos. GTR sumitomos are M12 bolts, 32 and 33 Brembos are M12 bolts. 34 Brembos are M14 bolts. so if the calipers you have bought accept bolts smaller than M12 then there is something wrong with them
  5. weird that we had such different experiences. you went from noltec ones to the dogbones, I tried the dogbones then went for the noltecs. I wont dispute the welding on the noltec arms wasn't exactly pretty or that their price is a little on the high side, but my first set of dogbone arms just didn't last long at all, and when removed one was slightly bent. the material used just didn't looks suitable and the bearings didn't last. the fact the two ends touched each other inside the cuff was another problem. The second set didn't do quite as bad but the bearings were noisy after only a fairly short period of use (i think 2 track days and about 500 or 600km). but they were a little better than the first set. but the noltecs gave me more adjustment, easy enough to adjust, and no bearing problems (well no bearings at all!). each to their own I guess.
  6. awesome. massive sigs give me the heebie jeebies
  7. this would have to be the dumbest farken idea ever. imo.
  8. thanks for clearing that up Greg makes much more sense now.
  9. awesome, looks like I have something to buy for the N95. sweet.
  10. lol, I changed it. don't like people spamming their shit so I figured why let them leave the link up there.
  11. that link was posted in the thread just below this one you even posted in it!
  12. sorry, I didn't read properly. 20mm circumference shouldn't be a problem
  13. cool, thanks for clearing that up. I always just assumed a blue slip was a blue slip. I've only ever had them done after compliance before a car first get's rego'd. I've never been defected so never had to go that path thank god.
  14. 33 upper arms are a different shape. no dogbone shaped arms for 33 GTR. but i think the 33 design is a bit of an improvement anyway. you don't want the dog bone arms anyway. trust me! there are better options.
  15. yeah 20mm is too much in my experience. but there is one way to find out for sure...
  16. ahh, ok. well that is cheap, but not worth traveling to the gong for me to save $50. seems we get reemed in sydney cause I haven't yet had a blue slip under $90
  17. no front diff is not a viscous LSD. it's not an LSD at all. it's an open diff. no LSD action.
  18. yeah no lock bar needed. I'm using the tomei kit on my 32 GTR. it's good as it has a little controller that splices into the HICAS computer so you don't get any PS problems or warning lights. and everything still looks stock from underneath.
  19. we have a wanted to buy section. this is the for sale section. in future please use the correct forum.
  20. oops my bad. yes front diff is open. sounds like something is wrong.
  21. you are definitely not thinking of pink slips right? cause $35 is crazy cheap. I've never seen one less than $90 and these days $100 is cheap, most are $120+. Where is this $50 place? If not to far I will go there next time for sure.
  22. blue slips cost between $100 and $150 in my experience. but that has always been for newly complied cars. i've never let a car lapse rego so i'm not sure if there is different work involved, but I doubt it.
  23. well like I said you can do it with wheel on. I have had the dogbone arms and I can tell you the noltec ones are better in every way.
  24. bugger, didn't get anywhere near the PS3 last night. stupid real life getting in the way of computer games
  25. just keep trying. there are some problems with the forum today. that is why it's not working.
