have u checked the thread with links in it?

looks good man... mesh it... not for looks but to protect the FMIC from stones and crap.

i would infact report him... never know where those cars came from...

checka de email

with that many panels damaged u will be looking at a lot more than 1k. i used to work in a panel shop and we used to get cars from sydney all the time with hail damage... dunno who told u that it writes it off tho camandcandice... the only issue with fixing it is that its a bog job... and with all those dents a lot of it. we pretty much used (on a pissy little ford festiva) a 4kg tin on the roof alone to get it looking spot on... u could probably strip the inside down and smash them out and use half the amount but it was a caryard job so we didnt have to as they wanted to cheaper option... of course. make sure if they do fix it you check it with a small powered magnet like a fridge magnet... if it doesnt cling then theres lots of good ol filler.

http://www.nismo.com.au/magwheels_new.htm a few nice sets to look at and help u decide... www.donnellans.com has a heap of pics and stuff too...

dale - they were the plugs recommended as factory replacements in the NGK manual. Danny - .8 but the recomended was 1.1 according to NGK however i was told to gap them to .8 by sam and he guys at ICE. This car never had this issue before i went to the platinums over the coppers... even running 15psi it never had an issue and the plugs in it had been there for quite some time. Im at a loss... im going to have to open it up for the 3RD time now and see if they have ****ed up yet again.

would have thought it was camber... mine did the samething... when i can be bothered i think i'll get a wheel alignment

yeah i think they have died in the arse again... after i put them in they ran fine... closed off the bleed valve so that it was running "stock" boost and gave it a nice run around the cheltenham rd area and now it sounds like a WRX (very bubbly and unstable.... not smooth like normal...) so more fun for me tomorow pulling everything apart and checking the plugs again. if they have died AGAIN im taking them back and demanding my money back because that is 9 plugs ive gone thru ($180) in less than a month which is bullshit considering this is the "recommended" plug according to them. coppers here i come!! (yet another $60)... think i might try the bosch super 4s out... no need to gap them then.

heheh west is on to something there rianto - yeah mate still coming... i doubt anyone will buy it by then and i doubt i will have it for sale by then anyway... more pushing for interest at the moment.

gordon - thats not the code of the plugs that were in there b4... i thought i kept them so i could put them in if i had any trouble with the platinums... guess i didnt. this is the first time in over a year of having the car that this has happend... this is also the first time since owning the car ive changed the plugs... the last ones looked like they had been in their for a long time but still looked reasonably healthy. Ive run my car with 16psi without any issues on em... i think i might pop into BMT and put it on the dyno and check the boost levels cause i think my guage isnt working properly... oh well.. it was a costly mystery... probably one which i wont ever find out the actual cause.

haha pred... yeah its got the engine in all... but mine looks fatter yeah ash i'll think about it... but at the moment im not really worried about huge power... just something decent.

y does everyone assume its because my gfs car ran a faster time? rofl u twits. i want a new car tho thats the whole point... i dont want a beast i just want something new... i like the R34 interior, exterior and im not looking to mod the crap out of it... but yeah i have got very attached to it and it looks sweet as right now... meh... i do like the sound of an RB25DET xplant and gearbox... but the RB25DET engine managment isnt as easy to play around with as the ECU on the RB20 which means i'll need shit like a E-Manage or something... might email the guys at ice and bmt see how much that will cost... only prob that leaves me is i wont have a car for a month or how ever long it takes... u bring up some good points ash i am going to have to think it over a little more now

locally i should add.

how much u looking to buy one for? theres a few 32 GTRs for under 30 or just over.

yeah it happend at calder... at first i was only running 10psi which ran a 14.08 then we decided to up it to about 13psi to get into the high 13s... this is where they melted down... 3/4 down the strip POP and black smoke... still ran a 15.4 after backing down the rest of the qtr haha nice one sam for now ive replaced them with another 3 platinums as the dipshit at autobarn didnt know what coppers to use and the only thing his book had was platinums... i only put the others in about 2 weeks ago so they are pretty much new... just took it around the block at 9psi hitting 8500rpm around the corners and had no apparent issues... will leave the boost at the level its on incase my guage isnt showing the proper boost levels (only have ableed valve so have to rely on the guage)... looks like its time to take it to the dyno and make sure the guage is accurate.

does anyone know if its a bad thing to only replace the 3 dead ones leaving the others in there? or is it best to replace all 6?

however if i can find a 34 for under 30k or anyone knows of one then i will get that.

stamp duty wont be too much and rego the ones im looking at have at leats 10months

plug 1 plug 3 plug 6 all died... after only having them in the car about a week... sam tells me its cause they dont perform under high boost... wish i had known that before

$120 down the drain... think im going to go back to coppers.

dude $55 for 1 month on carpoint on ninemsn as well as puting the car in 2 issues (with colour pic and URL) of unique cars or autosupermarket.

find me a 98 VL commy and i'll get one
