  1. I was under the impression you used nitrous to help efficiency of the motor at the drag strip, bringing on boost quicker and cooling the intake charge as when your stationary; there is less air moving through the radiator/intercooler etc. sounds very accurate to me, id have no issue running a 50hp shot if i ever got into drag racing lolz, nitrous has other uses too. Ever seen shooter with mark wahlberg..... if anyones curious, be careful it causes acute dementia.
  2. Sounds better as my car does run a bit rich for safety as im sure most guys who have their car tuned. Thanks for the info, ill check out their site n do some research n maybe post it back here. 400 sound ok i guess, im sure their are some traders who could get them at a better price; this seems like my best bet. Thanks A few of my friends have parts from CES, fantastic quality but their prices and customer service leaves something to be desired; that to say in their cases
  3. Im gonna recommend asus as they are expanding now with a new sattelite into space which will allow for multimedia streaming anywhere in the world. Asus seems to have the best cooling also, as laptops are cramped they tend to overheat and slowdown/shutdown abruptly e.g older toshiba models. always buy an extended warranty on it, anywhere from 150-250 depending on laptop if you want it for gaming, make sure there is a good graphic card in it and plenty of ram; grab an upgrade if you can JB seems to have good deals n good warranty support so pop down there n make sure u bargain. -Johnny
  4. Hey man, im thinking about one of these cats; i knwo yours is performing well but have you heard any horror stories with their half-life? collapsing after a hard drive or a few thousand kms etc I know that i will never be on a track or driving hard, any advice for me man or anyone else wanna chime in? also if you dont mind me asking, how much would one set you back? -Johnny
  5. Im really glad to hear the car performs as you wanted it to and was worth the money; most people feel guilty after buying things. At the end of the day, thats what these cars do for us; they give us that thrill and get that little sumthing special out of life...not just girls hehe! all the best mate, dont lock the thread; keep us posted on any changes, upgrades or *touch wood* issues/problems -Johnny

  8. I appreciate the reply and i will use it as a guide, jst dont want to get a quote 300% above etc Specifically i want to get my stock manifolds bored to suit new turbines and ceramic coat them + exhaust housings + dump pipes; can you ceramic coat cast iron though?......well with good or valued results? thanks -Johnny
  9. jst curious but are hummerman and bobw the same person? both low joined on same day n have same posts. One asks about hummer imports, the other gives a reference to an importer, a website etc.....advertising
  10. How did this thread get onto this? i wouldnt start punching out lines about the war, there is so much people dont know as information can be altered after the outcome. Anyways no disrespect, jst war is a terrible thing. Back to v8 n turbo talk lolz!!! 'only milk n juice comes in 2 litres' 'we came on planes, you came in chains' whoops wrong
  11. Impressive numbers but i assume they test with great drivers and dump that clutch hard on redline; not the way we would treat our cars....well at least i wouldnt. I know the r34 gtr's new turbines produce better low end torque to help with the launch resulting in the better time.
  12. Seems like you had some bad experiences with stealerships; dont worry i have too. BMW is bad but at least they give me a nice loan car to play with for the day! worst by far is landrover, quote you one price on the phone and hand you a bill for alot more for things that 'you' know cost 90%less. So far hyundai has been the best to me..........ironic yeah for a 16k getz; need to keep the 5 year warranty. I do my r34 gtr minor servicing myself, rest i take to reputable tuners. Car dealers are a special breed, they are all the same.....dirt, trash, two-faced and apathic
  13. Jst start the race, the v8 driver will slam the brakes on as soon as his wheels start to spin.........burrrrrrnout broooo. You could win with 20fwhp then lolz
  14. im interested in ceramic coating too, saw a great feature on motive dvd; how much is the stuff?
  15. V8's have been using nitrous for a long time now, since the average big block nazi dosent know anything about science and they are attracted to their relatives they wouldnt know that nitrous is a form of forced induction....fake power???
  16. Amazing result mate, im very jealou.......i mean delighted for you lolz have fun, that power level will easily make you lose your liscence if u aint careful!!! Ill definitely pick up an issue of import mag 113; my bday is around then so hopefully my car might get some presents and look like yours
  17. You didnt have it dyno tuned did you? he simply did a service and took the car for a thrash right; a clutch dump and full throttle 1st 2nd gear is enough to spike boost to 1.20bar and probably blow the turbos. from this thread i now know to set the rev limit on the power fc to 3000rpm before i leave it with anyone. Try n get him to pay for the damages; obvioulsy with another mechanic otherwise plan your actions carefully.
  18. Thanks for the feedback mate, I really hope you enjoy the game which i was quite addicted too lolz. If there are any other games you like, maybe you would like to swap for one of yours that your finished with? I also have FEAR 2 which ive jst finished playing so ill pop that up for sale also. again thanks mate! -Johnny
  19. Just quick, i got tested a little while ago n got 87db with a fujisubo exhaust 3.5inch on my r34 gtr. Its a great exhaust and i was really surprised with the noise so definitely worth a look at for an off-the-shelf item which is legal.
  20. Very nice, carbon parts make my pants tight lolz I have the same EBC as you but mines in the glovebox for stealth May i ask where you got the carbon skirts?
  21. So would this be 'real' power or fake turbo power; refering to the fake turbo power thread lolz
  22. thanks man, took me a while to find n import my car; i hope it will give me many years of excitement like your car is giving you im sure. jst wanted to comment on cheapskate calling bulshiet to people getting offers of 60+ for excellent examples im not your buddy cheapskate n i said lahtazzz, dont need a reply from you.
  23. I had an offer (serious one) for my 02 vs2 of 69k about 9 months ago; no bs here. YOU dont own one so you want to think they are overpriced...just like mxfly said. depreciation will occur over time but there is a threshold, you can have a 99 r34 (non-vspec/vs2) for 40k im sure Personally im not too worried about depreciation cos i plan to keep mine for many years. lahtazzz cheapskate
  24. Hey Tez, congrats on the new car; dont you go driving hard now and winding up with a pile of meds in the boot lolz "is that methotrexate or diazepam" lolz I love the xr5 or the mondeo! I couldnt justify the fiestas price of 25-27k over the getz 16k n cos its only an a-b car, didnt care too much plus i bought my beema back hope everything is going great for u mate, been a long time since we chatted.
