Wacky Dee

guys ..sort of related question and main reason I want to dyno the car. I took the car to get all the drive, psteering and timing belt replaced recently. Since, I feel like I've got less power ... as if the car doesn't boost. I mean I can hear the turbo spool up and everything but I don't feel that sudden rush of extra power. My mate reckons I'm full of shit and just got used to the power ... he's probably right. What do yous think? Could they have screwed something up when changing the timing belt?? I know I know ...dyno run will tell me for sure if there's anything weird (ie. if the figures are way too low) but i've been busy and havent had time this week to take it for a dyno run. Hopefully someone like CRD can squeeze me in tommorow as I'm getting more paranoid every day.. Any simple way to test if all the cylinders and turbo are working ok at the correct parameters, other than simply looking at dyno results? cheers

I've just looked at gr34tt's one and he only has one photo in the forums and that's a factory nismo front bar (no other shots) Alien has the impul front bar with black mesh which looks pretty good but he has no side skirts whatsoever and has a nismo factory rear bar. I don't think there's anyone with the full impul kit on a black gtt (I've already gone through that R34 photos thread twice ..all 20+ pages of it ugh) JSAI (trader) are apparently releasing a couple of GTT kits soon so I'm gonna wait a bit and see what those turn out to be like. Just wanna say one thing though ... if I had a WHITE gt-t there's no other kit I'd even consider. The impul looks so damn good on all the white gtt's I've seen.

yeah back to the drawing board methinks ... I'd still like to see a black gtt with the full impul kit though .. the one pictured above at the jracing web site doesn't do it justice I think with that cheesy silver mesh, no wing and bad pics. I'll never understand why some retailers put so little effort in advertising their goods, it's as if they want to turn people off from buying..grr Having said I do like the side profile look even on that jracing one .. I wish they had better shots of front and rear though

arrrrggghh .. wish it was black (gv1) I'd probably take it

Found another seller too ... http://www.jracing.com.au/product.php?pid=34 Fark, doesn't look so good on a black GTT (I have a black one) or maybe it's just their crappy shots and the fact that r34 has no wing

I'm looking for the whole kit not just side skirts ... so is the above rear/front bar also 'impul' ? Edit: quick googlezor actually shows yep, that whole kit is 'IMPUL' http://www.impul.co.jp/products/complete/r34.skyline.htm Cheers, that makes searching for another seller much easier.

I'm looking around for a bodykit for my black gtt and really like the look of this kit but the only place that seems to have it is carmate but I'd prefer not to go to these guys as their rep is anything but good This is the kit in question http://carmate.com/product_details.php?pro...S&p_id=9948 Does anyone know if this kit has any other name oither than 'OT Style' ?? Any other suppliers/fitters in Sydney ? Cheers

nah my friend wants doluck and he'd kill me if I got one plus it's a bit too full on for my taste ;d anyone know who sells this OT style (or what the hell 'OT' stands for) other than carmate?

just did a bit of research here on carmate and decided against dealing with this mob ... I think there was 1 out of like 20 reviews that was remotely positive. Anyway, does anyone know what this 'OT Style' bodykit is actually a copy of so I can try and find it from a different supplier?

actually I lied ..that white 34 is completely 'OT' style front bar included ... this is the front bar I'd prefer over the OT one http://carmate.com/product_details.php?pro...B&p_id=9891 not that much different anyway

what do you guys reckon about this white r34??? I like the front rear AND sides on this mofo .. the front is 'CW', sides 'OT' and rear is also 'OT' style ... The front bar is the only one that's a bit full on ..the sides and rear are very stylish and subtle IMO. What do yous reckon? Oh yeah imagine it all in black So what's the word on carmate anyway? are their kits good quality or flimsy pieces of crap that will break at the first little speed hump?? They also charge $1k to paint and fit whole kit, is that a good price?? Edit; oh yeah forgot the link http://carmate.com/product_details.php?pro...S&p_id=9948

thanks guys keep em coming.. I don't think I'd go for a fully custom kit due to costs involved. I don't mind having something that's either common or popular as long as it looks good ie. it's not 'uras' ...urrghh can't believe anyone likes that kit.

I've seen most of those before except the last one and most of the r34 gtt bodykits they have on their web site look a bit crappy ... but I don't mind the front bar and sides on this yellow r34 http://www.jetspeed.com.au/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=181 Bit hard to tell how it looks in real life as theres only one crappy quality photo of it there

I've been looking around for a bodykit for my r34 gtt for a month now and there are very few places I could find in sydney that sell decent kits. Are there any well known places that specialize in skyline bodykits in the sydney area that don't advertise online?

what's the name of the shop that did this? i may need to get my roof and bonnet resprayed soon

I'm in the inner west (5 mins from cbd) Any places around here? edit: if anyone has a r34 gtt stocker dyno graph please post it here

Got an r34 the other week ..its stock with a new turbo back exhaust. I'd like to dyno my baby ... where can this be done and for how much?

I've had a better look at my car's paint ..and my whole car could use a respray so I think it's time to start saving up. I might just wait til I get a new body kit and the whole thing in one hit

That's not much really .. if the ratio of incoming vs outgoing traffic is pretty standard ie. approx. 30gb incoming and 160gb outgoing, that's not much at all as most hosts don't pay anything for outgoing. So you could easily get something for around $100 a month. But seeing as how the site would probably be a resource hog it's most like inappropriate for shared hosting so it'd need a dedicated box which I'm sure someone could donate or one could be sourced for a few hundred. So yeah, little upfront investment and approx. $100 a month and bob's your uncle Edit: maybe not as cheap as colo but here's a pretty decent deal http://www.webhostingtalk.com.au/showthread.php?t=7195 - that's a massive 1000gb of premium aussie bandwidth in the best data centre in sydney plus a really beefy server all to yourself for $300/m. And no I'm in no way associated with the mob in question

So um can anyone recommend a really good detailer in Sydney? They'll have their hands full cause I've got fine scratches and swirls (from an auto wash most likely) on every single panel

hmm shit I never knew spraying a car took that long .. I thought it's a one day process. In and out of the booth sort of thing (after prep obviously)

That surely must be a joke?? ;D Edit: wait you can't really be serious ??? few weeks for a $700 job?? CUTTING the roof off ??? wtf? why would they do that .. they can just spray it on there. you MUST be joking right? riiiight?

$700 normal rates or mates rates? Either way I reckon it'd be a worthwhile investement as the roof and bonnet are truly fuxored ... the rest, can be hopefully fixed up with a cut and polish

how much traffic per month are we talking about exactly?

this being an australian site and all ie. mostly aussie visitors it'd make perfect sense to host the web site in australia too ... its so bloody slow compared to various other aussie based forum sites (eg. whirlpool, ocau etc) with aussie hosting being so cheap nowadays I can't see why this site is hosted in the USA unless I'm missing something?? If you need hosting recommendations let me know I work in the field
