  1. Hi guys just finishing up putting a JustJap FMIC on my r33s2gtst (wont go into deatails over how much of a pain it was) and now i see the stock airbox snorkel wont fit on 'cos of the new piping running infront of the engine... any ideas on a fix? I was thinking of just getting an apexi pod after doin a search I understand that it just replaces the airbox basically, no afm change and using the old smic piping for a snorkel from behind the foglight area. Any idea where i can pick one up from also would be a good healp, in melb S.E area
  2. one of my fav's is belgrave-->monbulk-->seville-->warburton-->Mt Donna Buang takes about an hour from start to finish, with the added bonus of the black spur close by from warburton i tihnk sory i cant remember the road names/numbers, melways is your friend
  3. hey just did mine, different way though. entry is via the small pull out section near bonnet release. on the right hand side, under the steering wheel is a black box with 'smart entry' on it, size is about 4cm by 7cm undo 2 screws to take the box off the holding bracket. take out white plastic plug from box. (sticks in there pretty good) the black surround around where the plug went comes out, you will see where u can put in a screwdriver to jimmy it out. take out the circuit board. match up where the actual beeper is from where the audio holes are on the side (it is a round black cylinder abour 5c piece in diamater and 10 cm high) CAREFULLY either: 1- prize it off with a flathead screwdriver and pull out the terminals with some needle nose pliers gently (i did it this way easily) 2- get a solder iron and reheat/undo the conection from the back put everything back the way you found it this way it wont phuk with you alarm or windows or anything else, cos everything is as it was, just no noise cos obviously no beeper btw car was a r33gtst S2, should take about 20 mins max, have fun
  4. hi, having a bit of trouble with my car, only mod is a full 3 inch exhaust, and the recepace all purpose boost setting. seems to take a long time to rev out.. like once it gets to about 4,500 rpm there is no more power coming and i can hear the turbo sort of 'screaming'... also at lower rpm, like just starting to boost, the turbo definatly makes a 'rattling' sound like bearing maybe, as well as a more pronounced induction noise, and a general lack of performance. This has been happening for a while before the exhaust went on but now its a bit worse. ive checked and at least no oil in radiator or smoke out exhaust. Ive looked for any leaking lines from turbo and cooler but cant see any.. I was guessing i maybe need a fmic to cope with the extra boost as the problems get worse once i have been driving for half hour(ish) I'll be taking it to mechanics in the next few weeks but any ideas would still be a good help cheers

    Japan Holiday

    Ok me and my brother are going backpacking in japan, other than 3 nights upon arrival in the shinigawa prince in tokyo we have no itinerary. Arriving on about the 15/06/08 gonna stay for the full 3 months allowable, got around 10k to spend after the flights etc, been learning as much japanese as I can and brought phase and guide books. Should all be sweet the only worry I have is the JR tickets... Not sure the best combonation of ticket/s will suit. Keeping in mind 1week-$330 2weeks-$530 3weeks-$670 Wanting to see/do as much as possible, like go from tokyo to kyshu then up to hokkaido before going home. And there will be times when we will be on busses etc not JR cos its gonna cost too much to have a pass for the whole 3 months. I just dont wanna activate a ticket and find out im in an awsome place with a weeks worth of sightseeing etc and be kicking myself

  8. yea i got my car (r33gts-t 2) from power road and the guy there shane is pretty good on the whole. very casual though dunno if thats a good thing when your putting down your hard earned (nearly let me walk out the day i picked it up without giving him his cheque ) good thing is if your serious he will let you drive about every car in the lot without a worry duno maybe its an aussie thing just seems so not fussed with it all lol
  9. ok so other than the trunk monkey i figure ima need a good security setup. been doin some searching here and ppl seem pleased with the mongoose m80 so il prob head in thet direction my question is if im getting a boost controller and turbo timer installed at the same time wheres a good place in melbourne for installs? and am i better buying the items myself and going to the shop or reckon just walk in there like the nOOb i am got a cd player and speakers ready to go but i rekon i can tackle that myself
