  1. Ex-mechanics? What's wrong with those who are still in the trade? RAC would be your best bet, otherwise look around at everything and if anything looks suss get someone in the know to look at it.
  2. You can buy Cusco number plate mounts from Just Jap for $200 or you can buy 2 L-brackets from Bunnings for $5 and screw them in underneith the front bumper. That's what I did, but decided to move it back for the PSR Show.
  3. Define steering wheel shroud? Never heard of it before.
  4. Have you posted on SilviaWA?
  5. Yeah, it looks good.
  6. Have a look at how many standard cars DONT have have BOVs. Or if you aren't sure, just run the standard BOV. My car has the stock one and a pod, and everyone loves the pod flutter (more of a whoosh).
  7. My car is currently in many pieces due to a major service that got held up, but hopefully it'll be back together by Tuesday. If it is, I'll make it to the first meet point to say hello, then I'll have to bail.
  8. Sunny, don't even think about it. You know what your like with DIY Take the headlights out, turn them face down, and use a hair dryer to evaporate all the water out from the back. Either that, or drill a hole in the bottom for it all to drain out.
  9. Haha Sam, through the eases the entire underneith of the 32 is lit up with flames
  10. Strange...
  11. Yeah mate, rust isn't too good for fuel pumps. Get a new tank or clean out your old one. Saves you from replacing your pump/filter all the time.
  12. Jason, I'm pretty sure that's faulty connection to the reverse sensor. Mine does it as well, but because mine used to auto, the buzzer turns on and off randomly. I'm going to throw it on the hoist at work and have a looksie. I'll let you know how it goes.
  13. Yeah, ~$15k. Depends on the over all condition though. If it had oil leaks, coolant hoses about the split, dodgy ac compressor and a noisy power steering pump as well as a few rips in the interior, I wouldn't be paying that much. People forget, mods mean very little. You need to look at it from a mechanical viewpoint.
  14. Sometimes I wish I got a slightly larger loan and got the Toyota Chaser JZX100 instead, but I'm happy with the car I have. I picked up mine (basic supporting mods and highflow making 300hp) for $14k, so it can be done. Look around and you'll find something in your budget. Otherwise, look for other cars: S13 S14 Cefiro GTiR Stagea WRX Turbo Liberty Mk3 Supra Chaser Up to mate, don't let us tell you what to get. FC RX7
  15. Imagine if you were a fat chick in a Skyline? You'd be f**ked!!
  16. We had someone come into work the other day to do it, but i can't remember the company name Have you tried a Yellow Pages search?
  17. Mate, my NA 33 and 300hp 33 both have the same fuel efficiency. So there goes your argument. Buy turbo and you won't regret it, may as well. Drive it properly and off boost and there's no way a turbo can use more fuel because there's the same amount of air/fuel entering the engine.
  18. I think so? But you'll have to double check.
  19. Allen, I agree totally. There's a time and place for that sort of driving. We HPV owners cop a lot of shit because fellow HPV owners drive excessively and crash, bringing themselves into the spot light. Unfortunately, people don't realize you can get into these situations in any car. I've been driving my mum's 2000 model Mazda 323 Protege around fornthe past week while she's in England and it's a real eye opener! You tap the brakes you lock up, you turn a corner and you understeer, you accelorate and the 1.6L engine does sweet fa... But then youndobt realise that youre speeding. My point is, this car is MUCH easier to crash then my Skyline, however if I crashed both and ended up in hospital both times, I know exactly which event will make the news! People who drive HPV and crash ruin it for the rest of us. Most crashes are unavoidable, most are innocent, but its these incidents that give us all a bad name. And it's these incidents that make me glad I'm driving the 323 at the moment, so I dont cop the backlash the police are handing out. By the sound of that damage, that car must have been doing stupid speeds when it hit the barrier!!!
  20. Damn, hope they're ok. The media is going to go crazy with the whole "Import hoon" shit again.
  21. Depends on who makes the kit. Talk to Bruce from FibreBision, he'll be able to make you a front bar that'll fit perfectly. Including the grill and guards. Proper kit shouldn't have a problem with the two bar.
  22. Diamond Lock and Key on Main Street in Osborne Park (I think that's still Ozzy Park...) We get all our keys cut there (I work for Jason Mazda) and every one is perfect. Never had a problem. Costs us just less the $40, not sure if that's trade price or not though. Either way, excelent work. Unfortunately, not open on the weekends, otherwise I'd be there now getting a key cut for a 32.
  23. First of the month I'd easier to remember, and the earlier it is, the earlier it finished. Some people don't like late nights before work... Having said that, I'd still come either way.
  24. What black 350Z? I didn't see one on the cruise? Was really shit, bad cars and crap map Jason, it was advertised on Antilag, not an official antilag cruise.
  25. White spirits would work. Metho or similar would be more easily accessable as most people have it. My EDFC is held on with Velcro, and if I need to remove it for some reason it'll easily come off/go back on. That stuck first time and hasn't moved for a month, and that was on a freshly armoralled dash as well.
