    Question ?

    knocking / pinging / pre-detonation. in the engine. generally happens under load because of bad fuel / bad tune, the engine will make a distictive rattle when loaded up under acceleration. If you hear this back off drive steady get it fixed.

    means the fuel is igniting before the piston reaches the top and the spark hasn't fired.

    my guess! this is an engine check light with most cars they will come on momentarily after start-up, this is normal from new. If the light stays on it could mean the engine has reached 100,000 klm and now needs a major service ie timing belt or the like.

    thats how insurance companys make money, they hope every one will hope for worst, they get your money and the share holders live it up.

    we put in $1200 a year each member, if you sell you car and want out - you take your money, I had an R32 in the scheme, sold the car and put an extra $1800 in the wallet from saved insurance.

    All involved where prepared to pay the first $1000 for damages (like excess). In my case the first year of contribution and excess could have bought me a half-cut with all cosmetics, and mechanical bits to sell to reduce total cost.

    Fact is most accidents are less than $3000 of damage, if you claim in the first year on that you only draw $800 of the other guys funds. Like I said there is a lot of things we have considered and put in place. This isn't for every one..... What many don't factor in is the excess they have to pay on a claim with a company. if your policy cost you $1250 and your excess is $1500 then its gunna cost you $2700 to claim in the first year $3950 in the 2nd ect. ect. (then check their total pay-out figure its criminal one of the guys was offered $4000 for a 92 sss bluebird sr20t after $2500 excess)

    Bag it / Pull it to bits / it aint for the faint!.....................carry on

    I have just ordered an R34 GTT form japan. The car hasnt arrived but I'm shopping for wheels. Can anyone tell me what size wheels I can fit under the back is 10 inch possible? Does anyone have the dimensions for the spacing under the rear guards say from bolt face to inner suspension and bolt face to guard lip? Also the front brake calipers any clues on what I have to clear? I'm leaning toward 18's so if you have some to sell I'll take a look. Would like to see an 18x8 front and 18x9 / 10 on the rear.

    Thanx Guys.

    PS. If your not sure then don't waste the space.

    Me and my buddies decided to self insure, we opened a deposit only account and started putting in monthly instalments. soon had a fair bit of money to cover damages there are a few rules though. but we all got third party property damage to cover the other guy. Its not for the average joe but it makes a mile of sense. if you want in or some details as to how it works just PM me.. works for me.
