    That was me, I saw you leaving the exhaust shop and first thing that popped in my mind was EPA lol, that's where I had my one cleared. I hope that wasn't the case. Thanks mate, your car looked very nice too and I like your plates.

    Saw it at Noble Park maccas on Friday night, awesome car. Sounded mental and like it had a big single when he drove away, I could be wrong.
  7. Hey mate, I have one that i'v been thinking about selling, but haven't advertised. It might be what you are looking for, so best to just check it out in person. I'm in Melbourne too, pm me for further details if you are interested. Cheers
  8. You could have just taken off the bracket that holds them and goes behind the head, it's rubber hoses behind there and it gives you plenty of movement and space to remove the turbos. It worked for me with no damage or hassles.
  9. It's a Toyota Soarer.

    Spotted a dark blue 34GTT with white wheels, plates BLSSD1 around 7pm on Princes HWY. Anyone here? Looked and sounded tough.
  11. You can also get a set of cam gears and take it to Racepace to install them and dial them in. Got me 239rwkw on 14.5 psi everything else stock except exhaust. And it cost me all up under $1000
  12. I got the same one, it's bloody awesome feels like stock and handles 287rwkw easily too, never had a slip and great in traffic. Highly recommended.
  13. And Audi is owned by Volkswagen lol.
  14. Yep, Micolour would be my choice too. Just recently did the front end on my Gtr and I couldn't be happier. Mick really knows his way around imports, attention to detail and quality of work is amazing. Cheers.
  15. They closed down years ago mate. I'm pretty sure they have something to do with Sabbadin now, I remember seeing Rank Rotary stickers on their door. This was a while back tho.
  16. I agree mate, they are very well price for the work they do I just meant that they might be a bit pricey compared to some other places around. I'm one of their customers and honestly I couldn't be happier, i'v never had any issues with their work, prices or service, it's always awesome.
  17. Racepace mate, they specialise in GTR's and are a little pricey but do awesome work.
  18. You can try Better Brakes in Cheltenham, they have a great range in stock at very good prices, cheapest I have found around and very good service.
  19. Yeh thats an old one I was thinking of the new ones. Sorry mate I cant help I have no idea, the only thing that comes to my mind is an air flow meter issue, try replacing it with a mates one and see if it works then thats always a good starting point. My mates WRX was doing the exact same thing to what you described and it turned out to be AFM maybe its just a coincidence that it happened now, but as I said its a good starting point and take it from there.
  20. Make sure all the settings are right before you start the car, providing you connected everything properly eg. some cars run air flow meters and some map sensors, start with that make sure you set the thing up to air flow meters and go through the settings making sure its all set up correctly for your car. If its a second hand unit make sure you reset it. Cheers
  21. If you want to go for Motul around that price, 8100 5w40 is the go as mentioned in previous post its very good oil and better than 4100 Turbolight. If your car is pretty much stock and you dont trash the crap out of it every chance you get then 5w40 is pretty much spot on.
  22. I'v got Toyo R1r on my GTR and they have awesome dry grip and very good in the wet, the amount of water they pick up of the road on a rainy day is unbelievable I can barely see anything behind me. They are well priced too should be within your price range but I wouldn't know about the wear only had them for about 5000k. http://www.toyo.com.au/Proxes%20R1R%20Press%20Release.htm http://www.toyo.com.au/Proxes%20R1R.htm
  23. Yeh thats right mate they are aimed at RB26's and I was talking about them, i'm not sure about RB25's I dont think they would need to be that thick especially if only street driven and lightly modded, I think 10w40 would be about right. Tell me about it, who the hell knows whats in them every second oil has synthetic written on it. Its such complex shit that its not that easy to work out whats good and whats not. I have read that there are hydroprocessed syhthetic oils (ultra refined mineral oil, group 3) that work as good or better than oils that are pure synthetic (PAO, group 4). Apparently mixes of several bases produces the best product, so you tell me which is the best oil out there and whats in it. People here talk about only using pure synthetic oil and that Motul 300v is 100% ester based etc, but they use Ester, PAO and Group 3 base stock to give the best product which is still a 100% synthetic oil. Motul says that they use double ester technology not that its mainly based on ester, apparently it contains between 20% to 30% ester. There are plenty of oils out there that are labeled 100% synthetic but all are blends of Ester/PAO/AN/GP3 or something similar which are still 100% synthetic and very good oils. Motul 300v in my opinion is still pretty much on top of list with Redline of the best oil's out there, because of their reputation and so many satisfied users out there, but it just shows that its very complicated with how they are made and advertised its not as simple as some might think.
  24. Thats exactly what I was told by my mechanic. I was running 10W40 Royal Purple thinking it was the right weight and after one of my tunes he told me it was too thin for an rb26 and recommended to start using Castrol Edge 10w60 or something of similar weight, but because of Castrol's price its the way to go compared to Motul or similar and performs very well compared to some expensive ones. This is coming from a very highly regarded workshop so I think that its right. Since then I have done some research and it seems like that alot of RB tuners recommend heavier oils and its all around 50-60 weight. I have been running it on Castrol Edge 10w60 for 2 years now and no problems at all it really seems to like it, and its around $75 for 5 litres. Its also advertised on their website that its recommended for GTR's. I would happily run Motul, infact its my prefered choice but its more than twice the price of Edge and I dont think its that much better to pay more that double for it. Paying close to $200 for oil and filter change every 5000k is way too expensive for me. If money is no problem go the Motul for sure its awesome oil. I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Nismo oil is rebranded Motul 300v Competition 15w50 but with a bigger price tag it even has a Motul written on the bottle, so you might want to think about getting the Motul instead. Cheers
