  1. They must be noobs at burning out cars. Interior appears its in okish condition considering.
  2. I'd hope they save engine mounts. I've done in one set of new engine mounts. A mate in his GTS4 also did a set of engine mounts. The Skylines appear to be fairly well setup; even with a busted engine mount they don't move around that much. Previous v8 aussy cars I've owned have the whole shifter moving often cracking your left knee. :S
  3. I've had it out and apart recently. Its just a regular S13/R32 GTST housing, nismo center and 5bolt half shafts. The GTR/R33/R34 diff housings are slightly different to the R32 GTST/S13.
  4. Retreads are dangerous.... I remember as a young lad looking out the back window at the trailer while we were sitting on 100km/h down the freeway with a trailer on. I saw the tread peel off and slap the guard as the tyre rotated. It took 2-3 slaps before the WHOLE guard of the trailer was removed. Amazing to watch. Soon after that the trailer started to sway and the next thing I can remember was the arse end of the car being picked up and the rear wheels chirping as it swayed from side to side. Old man slammed the brakes and luckly we pulled up fine. I ran a set of retreads once and had them removed as it felt as if the car was going sideways on 80km/h sweeping bends.. lol apparently it was the tread shifting on the tyres carcas. :S Don't run them. You can pick up new tyres for cheap as these days.
  5. Hrmm.. Makes me wonder what sort of power mine is making these days. Might throw it on the dyno if I get time before I bolt the new turbo on. I'm running a little vg30det turbo (rb20det compressor wheel with the rb25 comp cover and larger r34 style op6 turbine housing), pushing 11psi I'm seeing 4.3v on cold mornings/nights (4.29v during the day) from my Z32 and its flat lining load point 17 from 2000rpm to 6000rpm where it lifts to load point 16 and then 15 by 6500rpm. Last time it was on the dyno it made 180rwkw by 4000rpm but then fell over due to floating springs.
  6. lol yer some people talk out their arse well and truley. A dyno power run is no worse than holding third gear out. (Similiar ramp rate) In fact its actually better as you can see afr's and hear much better if there's any detonation.
  7. Doesn't sound too bad. I'd suspect its enough air for around 230-240rwkwish?
  8. Thats origionally what I thought also... You want at least 240rwkw. Only then does it start to get a little fun.
  9. Not possible.. However, there is a gtr style/mech center around for the R32/S13 pumpkin that runs the gtst/s13 spline count. There's 2 different types as far as I'm aware. The standard GTR style with a soft engagement and what is often referred to as a nismo center with more clutch packs and shallower ramps that provide a quicker lock. The later nismo is the one to get. Another option that 'may' be possible is to use an 87-89 300zx long nose r200 lsd center in your short nose. They 'Apparently' they bolt in to the short nose housing without issues. I haven't done it myself so I don't know first hand.
  10. $170 + $280 suxors. Fmic kits can be had for a little under $400 delivered
  11. The PFC is still a better option. Just its not readily available.
  12. Datalogit.. $500-$600 or there abouts from memory. I personally wouldn't bother with a 26 loom. + it won't prove anything as unless u run 2 afm's and 2 o2 sensors you'll still have to make modifications to the loom or the pfc its self.
  13. Rob, I'll be using the inlet air temp sensor.. One big reason I've moved from the rb20 pfc to the 26. There's no issue with the fuel pump FPCM control. The GTST runs a constant earth through its dropping resistor and uses the ecu to trigger the FPCM which bypasses the dropping resistor with a clean earth. So the voltage goes high. This is done via pinout 104. The GTR on the other hand has the dropping resistor built in to its FPCM so to speak. Pin 104 is activated to run the fuel pump at low and when off idle pin 106 enables for high. The GTST won't have an issue as the low pin 104 signal it receives will cause the fuel pump to go high. Pin 104 stays active when pin 106 (high) is active as Mafia has had no issues off idle I believe. Does the GTR PFC retain its low/high fuel pump speed? The GTST PFC's loose it and run constant high. If one wished to retain the low/high on their GTST they could simply use pin 106 instead of pin 104 to send the fuel pump in to high off idle. Hope that makes sense. So almost tooooo easy. ------ Pin 106 is FPCM 2 and 107 is injector ground. The IAT requires the usual sensor ground, is that what you were referring to? As you probably know it really does require the datalogit as you have to fiddle with airflow curves and map references in order to utilize the load points correctly. + it makes tuning much easier as its close to being spot on before you start. ------ A BIG thanks goes out to Paul and Mafia for being BRAVE.........................................

  14. Let me get mine done first, order from nengun has taken 8 weeks so far. Fingers crossed I receive it next week. Good thing with it being the 26fc is we can utilize your rb26 inlet air temp sensor.
  15. Serity1, Telstra used to call it unlimited, there was quite a stink about it as it wasn't really unlimited so the term unlimited has been dropped. The plan you are on is capped over 12gb. Speeds drop to 6.4kb/s. The bugger is as mentioned earlier in the thread they count uploads towards this 12gb of data block. But for the majority of users this isn't a problem. Their upstream bandwidth is ~128kb's for the plan you are on. Until you try the adsl2 upstream speeds you really don't know what your missing. The faster upstream makes everything work just that little bit quicker. Especially when downloading and doing multiple things at once.
  16. I'll have my rb26 from nengun within a week or two. Its taken ~8weeks for delivery. :S I'll be doing internal wiring mods so its a simple plug in. I 'might' do a few for others that are in SA. Boostworkx have a datalogit that is required so tuning will be done there.
  17. Definitely.. Counting uploads is just arse. All depends on what you use it for Madaz.. 10gb's shared upload and download definitely isn't much for those with relly's overseas. In the past I've found I've required the ~15gb for streaming lectures from Uni not to mention remote logins via Xwin32 when programming or working in sql/webservers etc etc. All becomes fairly bandwidth hungry. For general usage.. My oldies without 'pirating' scrape in at 8gb per month. Now they are forced to pay a little more They receive and send a hell of a lot of emails with video's attached, msn webcam overseas etc. For them 10gb with shared upload and download as telstra uses is simply not suitable.
  18. Agreed, Cable's plans are horrid and upload SUCKS! I like my near 100kb/s upload speed. If my plan was to rise by more than $5 Adam Internet was my next choice. Still might yet as I have a couple of mates on the same exchange 'communitynet ftw'.
  19. No change for me on the Home Extreme Value (Adsl2+ 20gb dload) $59.95
  20. Must say a little dissapointed. They could have at least left the premium usenet and then jacked prices.. Double whammy.
  21. Looks like Internode are doing a first for them........... Raising Prices. First they dropped Usenet.. now raising prices. Will find out how much by tomorrow mid morning. <walks off to whingepool>
  22. Post in the rb30 dyno results sticky thread in FI.
  23. BF2 seems fairly stable now. The last patch doesn't cause any issues that I'm aware of. + I have all the important unlocks.
  24. What size exh. housing Sanchez? 8 or 10cm?
