gotRICE?

Happened to me once too. Was a few years back, a mint 85 Corolla GT. Sat unused for 7 months in my street. So i started to investigate. Couldnt get name or number from the reg. But noticed the ignition barrel and locks were smashed to shit. Assumed Stolen. So i opened the door and found a parking ticket. Whallah. The address, a few doors down from my house. I casually went over and introduced myself and asked about the car. Lady asked if i wanted it, offered her $200 and it was mine. She basically stopped driving it when the battery died. (hence broken ignition, but car still there.. stupid thieves) Few days later, new clutch/batter/polish/oil change/locks/ignition, it was one of the nicest Corolla GT's in town. Sold it a few months later for a little over $2000. Cost me under $500 all up. Thought id add my story.. i didnt read through the whole post, but have you tried finding the owner yourself? You might miss out

This is awesome. No matter what gets thrown, Gary throws back. If it waas me i would have gotten pissed off and given up long ago!

Street Racing: This was yesterday in NZ. The 4wd at the bottom was an innocent driver that tried to avoid the cars coming towards them. 16 year olds. Would you believe me if i said noone was killed?

Vent would be for rear heating

The ARC airbox is essentially the same as a pod. It just weighs a whole lot more. If you have a Hybrid FMIC, then you can route a CAI into the unused IC piping hole, and get a CAB like suggested above. But if your using a SMIC, or a Return flow FMIC, your only options really are the stock airbox, or not worry about the induction of heat. I guess if you were keen, you could try modify an airbox to accommodate the factory intake snorkle.

What else did you mod? The FMIC is standard. So its hardly a mod

You could just clean them. I went from my Apexi pod setup in my R33 back to stock Airbox with Apexi panel fillter. Due to the same reason. Sucking in the hot air. Should see you 300kw without hindering. Also stops the annoying hissing they constantly do

GTR deserves the best What exactly are the price differences?

You probly wont even net that much more power with the extra boost. They just start blowing hot air. Just for a little reference, my mates R32 with RB25 conversion was making XXXrwkw (cant remember), and it was fully tuned VIA link 14psi (all supporting mods) Mine was boosting 10psi with bolt ons and stock ECU, and mine was only 5kw less. Both stock R33 Turbos.

x2. But for a little more backup for you; I had a VAFC2 in a Prelude, removed it and installed it into my ITR about a year later. It was still set to the Prelude settings. and now i have an SAFC2 in my R33, and i bought it off a dude that had it tuned in an Evo i think, and it was still at those settings too. That, and i had my R33 battery disconnected for 3 months while i was away. Settings = win.

R33 GTR if you want 350wkw that you can 'use'. And im not sure, but i would think the triptonic would complain like hell with 350rwkw running through it. Infact.. GTR. You cant go wrong. Either one is going to cost a fair hit to modify.

They should clear fine so long as its not a VSPEC II with Brembos. They have the same brakes as a R33 GTSt, and i had R32 wheels on my R33 for a few weeks. Oh, and STOP YELLING, THANKYOU VERY MUCH.

Just a shame the less powerful GTO would absolutely ass rape it in a straight line I spent many many hours tweaking the gears ratios to compete with that thing. Annoyed the hell out of me. But back OT... Same. The GTR in GT1 got me into them

Id try a set of coilpacks before ripping into fuel pumps/injectors. See if you can borrow a known working set.

^^ Im not completely sure about what needs to happen for them to deploy. I had a slight mishap in my older VTEC Prelude. I spun out on a tightish bend, and hit the passengers side into a clay/rock bank. It wasnt an overall intense impact, but i watched the airbag deploy. It just looked like a limp dick. No inflation i saw so to speak. This was the aftermath (no idea who the person in the photo was). I guess it was just a perfect situation for the airbag to go? It would have been moving at about 60-70km/h when it hit, and i was sliding more along the wall rather than into it if you know what i mean. It wasnt a head on impact. Maybe its because of a crumble zone? The impact was solid enough for the front cross-member to sheer off the corner of the sump.. clearly But it jst didnt FEEL like it was a hard hit. The other thing, maybe the technology between a 1992 airbag, and a 98+ Airbag, from the 34 is different to avoid writeoffs with minor damage deployments. Because as far as im aware, if an airbag deploys in NZ, the cars toast regardless. Oh, and edit: The point is, from the post above about the airbag tests, it would be pretty safe to assume i was not hard on the throttle when i hit the wall, considering it was after stepping out to the right a good 50-60', then spinning left into the wall. And being a n00b young idiot i would have been hard on the anchors.

Have you asked Vin Diesel?

For a good few mins i was totally confused. R26B.. had me so many times.

Record it.. lets hear it.

Thats the way. Have some spare hose with you before you start. Because as many have done, you sometimes need to slice them off. And a supply of paper towels and band aids (for the hand you will mash against a sharp bracket)

Never had to wait more than a month for anything i bought? New development?

Rough indication on how much you WILL need to cut on a S2 to fit a Blitz LM/CS. As you can see i cut it fairly tight so its less obvious. Absolute minimum required.

I enjoyed that read. Learned alot. Keep it coming! *subscribed*

He does.

Mine is a Blitz LM. It is just an alloy finish, but the new Blitz CS that Just Jap pictured is exactly the same, but it is shiny.

Well by the looks, your up shit creek unless you get a custom brace made. Im guessing the manifold wasnt designed with a brace in mind.
