  1. 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!

  2. 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 :banana: 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.

  3. 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)

  4. 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.
