  1. Yes and yes
  2. Needs this added to it
  3. I think I also spotted you at a BP near Chadstone Shopping centre, back on the Friday 23rd Dec. You met up with your friends and they had a black VY SS Commodore..?
  4. I guess a Z-Tune front is favoured by most on SAU Yeah, they do sell Carbon Fibre parts.
  5. That would have been you I saw you in my review mirror
  6. It's an awesome car but to our own taste / personal styling. The Black R34 GTR, I think has too much carbon fibre going on, like the 2 canards on each side of the front bar and the front lip with built in canards. Makes the front look too "busy". The rest looks good but I would change the front to a Nismo / Z-Tune front bar, along with the Z-Tune front guards.
  7. Offset and fitment on the wheels is decent. About an inch more low all round and it'd look even better.
  8. To be honest, the Tommy Karia body kit and the spoiler looks hideous, but the engine and performance would be outstanding.
  9. Must be the Zero Automotive cruise and they are going to Arthurs Seat. They had a thread up on SAU.
  10. Cool!
  11. Yeah, both look mad!
  12. ^^ This! Nismo Air Filters are made by K&N.
  13. Thank you for that info, I have found the link and got the brochures. Great source and so interesting to see how it was published back in the day. http://www.downloads.gtr.org.uk/
  14. BP yeah..? Was this around after 9:30ish?
  15. R32 GTR V-Spec / V-Spec II magazine coverage.
  16. Ah yeah! LOL!
  17. Yeah I was there this morning. You?
  18. Yes. Actually, that's what I meant, when warming up the car.
  19. The turbo bolts on to the exhaust manifold so in a sense, he's right. That is for stock turbo's with ceramic internals. Anything over 12 psi is probably a no go. Depending on how good the condition of the stock turbo is, you can still run over 12 psi but the turbo will not last long. Unless it has been rebuilt with steel internals / aftermarket turbo upgrade, you can run anywhere from 13psi to 25+psi, depending on tune / what you are going to use the car for. Sounds good. You'll learn about the car as you own it. Cool! Most people on SAU think turbo timers are just for 'wank factor'. Track cars run cool down laps after a race and then usually have the bonnet up when in the pits to vent the heat and they just sit and idle for a couple of minutes. Like you said, it's not necessary but I see it for the convenience if you want it. Or you can just use your clock in the car or sit and listen to your stereo and play a track that goes for about 3mins
  20. I was told it is normal for the turbo charged cars to burn a bit of oil. Oil has to cycle through the turbine in order to keep it lubricated. What Bsa said: "The oil will burn if you thrash it and not let it cool down properly." Use a good Synthetic / Semi Synthetic engine oil and change the oil filter at the same time. Synthetic / Semi Synthetic engine oil tend to flow more readily when cold and do not break down as quickly as conventional oils Always good to warm up a car no matter if Turbo / N/A. I always check my oil temps before boosting them. Let car warm up, drive off boost for about 10mins to get the oil cycling through and it should be good. I assume if you go with Just Car Insurance or Shannons they will be better on price as they cater for young drivers with high power / import vehicles. Always allow time for the turbos to cool down. Before you get to the end of your destination, drive off boost for a few minutes. As you drive off boost, the air goes through the engine bay to create an air cool flow effect to reduce the turbine / oil temps. Some owners use a Turbo Timer to allow the car to idle for a few minutes, allowing the turbine to cool to a lower temperature. Also allows the engine oil to cool / flow through the turbo. If you do not allow cool down time, the oil lubricating inside the turbo will be trapped causing heat soak, which can lead to bearing wear.. Even small particles of burnt oil will accumulate and lead to choking the oil supply. Cool down time is required to prevent premature turbo wear and prolong /extend the life of the turbo.
  21. ^^ With what you have listed Do this: Apply what WYTSKY has done when you get your customised air box. Credit goes to WYTSKY for the DIY write up. Enclose pod with box then make an opening under the box for the CAI / Hose to connect into to feed air to pod.
  22. Does not matter what filter, you will need a cold air intake to feed air to the pod for best results. If you change to an air pod, leave your standard air intake feed to channel cool air to the pod. Like so.
