Terminal

I've just found out i have a taekwondo tournament on that weekend. this is a shit, first i missed the show'n'shine because of a tournament, and now i'm missing this one.... such a bugger!

i thought you were an electrician? anywho, i needed it now basically, i have a week of rego left, so i just did it.

yep, seams a standard cost of an exhaust manifold

Thanks. i hit up just jap and they're sending me one tomorrow that's in good working order.

As the topic, has anyone got a spare RB25DET exhaust manifold from a turbo upgrade, or know anyone who has got a spare/old one? mine has cracked all the way through and i need rego in a week. any help appreciated guys

i had a slight alignment problem due to something being bent, but i got it replaced before i could register it and it was fine until i got the coilovers and whiteline bars installed.

well i took my car for a drive thismorning and it's still pulling violently to the left. maybe the toe in was a symptom of another problem somewhere else. this is starting to really sh!t me off as the original guy who put my suspension in has a really good reputation for working on expensive and high performance cars.

He has a 260RS, so i'd asume he has GTR everything

Yeah that's the main reason i scored the 260RS wing i have, just to get rid of that bare behind volvo look. makes my car look heaps better.

If it was for sale in 6 months to a year i would have no problems buying this car. my girl wants me to get another skyline, and this one matches my Stagea perfectly... just a bit too early, sorry mate

I have TEIN coilovers, but as stated, i haven't had a good run with suspension until now. what i have noticed is they're very very stiff, but when i have full load i don't notice the car bogging down much more than when it's empty. probably means they're a good spring for heavy cars. they work well for me, as i do carry around a bit of stuff half the time.

Spotted slither in civic this arvo about 5:30, drove past me but i was in the girls car

Woohoo, finally some recognition. If you need/want a stagea i could do it. i've got leather interior and dual sunroofs + a decent kit on my car, it's not a bog stock stagea. Also a fair dinkum sub box for the doof doof

wtf is a sentra?

If santa comes i can fit the pressies in my car, since i have a bit more boot space on that note, do we need to bring a bbq out, or is there one we can use out there?

I'd just trim the loose bits off then seal it around the edges with some heat resistant glue or something. maybe a silicon based sealant.

I don't think i will. He's supposedly got a really good reputation, it'd be a shame to put a black mark on his record. i'm going to take the car back for an unrelated problem anyway, and i'll mention it to him so he knows to look out for it in future

mine did, yep.

Well, i've finally come to the end of my saga. ever since i had my coil overs and whiteline sway bars and camber kits installed my car has had a viscous pull to the left. i took it back to the guy numerous times, but he said the front wheels were aligned fine, there was no issue. Getting rego inspection today at marc2's shop, found out my rear left wheel is 12mm toe in. i think this would account for a bit of a pull to the left. not only that, it's killed my rear tyres. so when/if you get suspension installed and they say it's straight, ask them to check the rear wheels too, because this stumped me for a while. end rant

Here's my cooler as i installed it. As you can see i went for a return feed FMIC. basically because i didn't want ot have a pipe going across my engine and have to cut anything out of engine bay. relatively easy installation with instructions. Here are the pipes returning up the standard piping holes to the intake And the finished product. I have yet to cut anything more out of my front bar, but i will be in a few weeks after rego has been paid. not much flow yet, but it should get better when i remove a bit more

spotted a nice R33 GTR coming back from Oran Park, i was heading down the northern road when they drove past and flashed me

Sorry i didn't show guys, i was super tired/sore. i'm not going to oran, i've got a taekwondo thing on all weekend in coogee and penrith. i'll make an effort to get out next friday though, so lookout for the madwagon. have a good weekend

Spotted an R31 GT Passage turning onto ginnindera dr, looked sweet

Yeah sell the old parts to kangaroo victims.

Yeah once we get to 80kph it keeps up fine
