  1. Stiff gearbox is normal when cold, but change the oil anyway. It'll feel better overall. Castrol VMX80 is a good cheap choice. Made heaps of difference to my car.
  2. So do I. They do have a chassis dyno, which I've been told gives higher readings. Dodgy workshop anyway.
  3. Lucky we dont live in Qld where you dont even know they were there till you get the ticket.
  4. Definately. just let me know exactly where and when.
  5. Yeah that would be sensible, but its hard not to give it a little blat every now and again. And I'm one of the most sensible ones, had my licence for 8 tears and not a single infringment. Very proud of that although some say I'm a *****..
  6. Anyone had any experience with the one off ebay? A workshop I know of reckons using one of these turbos (or very similar) and $5000 will give me 300kw at the wheels. On an RB20.... I'm a bit sceptical.
  7. Geez, start slouching, screw up your posture and you'll fit no worries. Or take out the seat rails and bolt the seat directly to the floor. Or buy a nice deep bucket seat. Or buy a new car.
  8. Yeah what he said. Even reset ecu, clean afm, clean aac. Easy to do and has worked wonders for some of my probs, although mines a manual.
  9. Mine doesn't either. I heard that only early model RB20's had this and later ones didn't. Don't know for sure though. Might take mine off and get some nice cam gears anyway..
  10. Hey all, Never been able to come on a cruise with you guys because my (now ex) girlfriend was not into cars, but now that I'm free I'd love to get out and meet you all. My 'lines only stock, but It'd be cool to see a few doing laps together. Any ideas of when and where??
  11. Yeah mate, good plan. I've recently moved back to my olds after breaking up with my girl, and have seen a speed van at the bottom of Kerrigan street in Fraser/Charnwood just before it goes into Dunlop (near Shakespeare Cres entrance) almost every morning on the way to work. You can really hammer down that street. Before the chicanes got put in, used to be able to get airborne!!
  12. Cars done 165 000km, so worth checking, thanks. Any idea how much cv's cost to replace?
  13. Hey guys, for the last month or so I have been getting a "click" noise from the rear right wheel when taking off or accelerating after braking or slowing down. Nothing seems to be loose in the suspension setup. Anyone got any idea what this could be? I know this is a bit vague, but any help would be appreciated.
  14. Can anyone tell me if I can get king springs off the shelf? Everyone I've spoken to says they need a sample to be sent away?! I cant afford the time off the road. Anyone know part no.s or anything for a r32 gtst??
  15. just get the seller to write you an invoice of an amount much less than the real purchase price of the car. This will save you a fair bit in stamp duty.
  16. But wouldnt dropping it in acid eat away metal too? Sorry,,,me stupid mod hit the wrong button. Neil.
  17. Sorry, I've got no idea what you are talking about, but would love to know. Please explain to the ignorant among us!
  18. fluffy dice, cowskin seat covers and heaps of neon lights.
  19. See www.powerlink.co.nz/~graeme/faq/. Lots of info!
  20. manuals can be bought off ebay for $189.95. Dont know the quality, although they are supposedly nissan endorsed.
  21. It probably depends whats in before you change it as to how it feels after. When I dumped my gearbox oil, it was a dark grey/brown colour. I just used castrol vmx80, at bout $35 for 4l and it has worked wonders!! Couldn't be happier.
  22. No, haven't removed the mesh. So you think the cold air and the wide open throttle caused the prob? Maybe have to adjust the cable for summer/winter conditions? Anyone know why there are two mounts for the cable?
  23. Haven't been on a cruise before. Have to check with gf if I'm supposed to be doing anything. My car's stock so I'll feel very inferior but it'd be cool to see all your rides!
  24. Just thought that I would share a problem I had, that some others may have had, and how I solved it. If anyone can give me some advice on this issue and if I am just covering up another prob. it would be appreciated. I recently (seems like it was after it got pretty cold down here) had the problem of my car jerking and sort of stuttering when I floored it, and between 5000-7000 rpm. It only happened when I was on full throttle, and the car accelerated perfectly on part throttle. After cleaning the airflow meter and airfilter (didn't check plugs as they are 3000km old iridiums- gapped at the factory 1.1mm as my car is dead stock apart from a K&N pod) which didn't make a difference, I rememberd that I had once (10 months ago) adjusted the accelerator cable a bit tighter. I simply loosened the bolt adjustment off a couple of mm, and everything seems to be good. Can anyone explain what happened??? Could I have any further problems?
  25. My girlfriend had a red commodore tailgating her in a 100 zone. She proceeded to speed up to pull away (this was on an empty country road- she was feeling quite intimidated) and discovered the commodore had disco lights. Stupid f@#king c%*ts.
