  1. maybe you should just delete it then, rather than give us a public service announcement....
  2. either shit gear or shit fitment or both.
  3. wow, i know what my next mod to my silvia will be now. drop tank for sure. i bet it will handle way better with a big lump of metal and 150 litres of fuel slapped under it as far towards the rear as i can get it... lets all get drop tanks, because if jerkoffs in commondores can do it, so can we!
  4. no. because there's nothing rare about an r32 GTR. maybe a v spec or something will be, eventually. although it would have to have a story behind it, plus be original and immaculate in every way possible.
  5. okay. so whats the point of having that tank dangling out the back?
  6. heap of shit deck. dont waste your time. DIN is a universal size. if it says DIN, its all the same, and all skylines are DIN.
  7. why even bother putting type r splits without an amplifier? clearly states on the box that they're 110wrms.. alpine also do a package that comes with splits + 6x9's + amp for about 300 off retail.. i swap the 6x9's for customers all the time.
  8. +1 to product launches gotta love the fact that you usually learn more about reading the booklet than from the reps... lol...
  9. +1 for camtech. had many customers get cams from them, in toranas, ls1's, sr20's, you name it they do it. fairly priced too.
  10. www.turbobygarrett.com has some really good explanations on it as well...
  11. alpine has a new package out spr-17REF + pdx-2.150 for $799. dirt cheap front stage...
  12. g4 + d2 are all horseshit. from all reviews i've seen, the BC range are quite good value for money. just jap are the australian dealers now.
  13. old fusion = gay. new fusion = also gay. i've returned heaps of amplifiers for warranty when we used to sell that crap. then we dumped it, for a decent brand never looked back. no warranty problems ever. the only thing they ever mad were the Jonah Lomu series of subs and the old power plant 15" (paper cone). but other than that, its all horrible sounding shit.
  14. smic is total waste of time + money. as are splits all round. as are jaycar splits. 1. FMIC 2. Splits in front, coaxials in rear 3. not jaycar, fusion, any polk under $400, clarion, or any other poo brands.
  15. tear it out, and re-fit a mongoose m80. all black wiring, insurance approved, on board turbo timer relays, three point immobilization... about $299 plus install...
  16. i'm going to paint everything gloss, satin and matte black... but make it neat and tidy...
  17. you can have a 300rwkw s15 without spending a fortune, but reliability is your issue.. they have a shit gearbox, and 300kw calls for at least a gt 3076R with 20psi+... so lotsa money there... not gonna last long at that power level. that said, i wouldn't trade my S14A (one of probably 5-6 S2 in my town) as a opposed to the r33 equivalent (100+ models in town). i just like her too much
  18. to add another choice, the MRP-F300 is a $399 amplifier, i'd go and get a KAC-9104D for $449 (they're $599 rrp, but most places discount the ass out of them) and make about 700-900wrms and fold those subs in half....
  19. twin gates are a total waste of time and money. why would you buy two gates, when a turbosmart pro gate 60 is ample to actuate even the largest of the garrett turbos?? call turbosmart and speak to either Michael or Matt. Very helpful. (i dont work for them, and i gain nothing from pointing you towards them, simply experience)
  20. i want a sticker that says "sex spec: gayer than aids" i saw a car on carsales ages ago, a R33 GTR with 20" chrome tempe shit rims, and in the description said "mad dose bro" i laughed.... what is this world coming to? the cops should be picking on ugly 20" wheels, not pod filters and intercoolers....
  21. i'm of the mindset, that if you build a car with everything IDENTICAL to the factory specifications, you may then then add genuine badges (not shitty ebay ones) and then re-badge it. i think that you should also add your own touch to the badging, for example if i bought an r33 GTS-T and replaced everything in it with GTR components (ie everything bar the chassis and shell) i would then badge with the iconic GT-R badge, but i would probably add a small silver sticker underneath with like "backyard spec" or some shit like that, so if anyone queries it, you can say "not a regular gtr, but a deadly backyard built one or whatever. problem is that ricers with gts NA skylines and NA silvias and all the other garden variety NA imports rape the idea of rebadging, not as a tribute to the original, but by badging it for status (or to pick up wheel biters). the xy gt questions, as long as you're building it as a tribute to the australian icon, thats cool, just add your own touch, so you don't take away from the thousands of dollars spent by an original owner, just to differentiate your car from theirs. I mean, if i had a gtho phase 3 and someone in a 6cyl had kitted it up to look the same and used the same badging, and i'd forked out 500K or whatever, i'd be inclined to screwdriver them off and give them a mouthful. but as long as its your tribute, and you spin it your own way, and you can tell the difference between it and the genuine article, i dont see why both couldn't be enjoyed in their own way. even though we are japanese car fans, everyone can appreciate hundreds of hours lovingly spent restoring a car of any kind.
