  1. I played the old one which was good for the time, the new one is way behind everything else, I was waiting for it for ages and was extremely disappointed, game felt like it was built in the 2000. I was expecting it to be at least as good as DOOM was. 1 out of 10 massive fail.
  2. It would change the dia by a small amount only, didn't you guys do geometry at school, think of a tree that is 10 mtrs high, standing upright it is 10 but when on a lean it is slightly less high, the length though doesn't change but the height does, the ground is the fixed point as in the rim being the fixed point. Dia may be changed by a mil or two maybe, post up the height of the side wall and the size of the gap from vertical.
  3. Hammer on a old slightly small socket
  4. The more boost you run the smaller the gap needs to be, the high pressure will blow the spark, if you need to lower the gap to much you will not get a big enough spark to ignite.the mix, you fan get electronic thingamagigs to boost your spark
  5. From what I've read they are a extremely sorted car straight out of the box for what they are. Anything with a big body kit looks like arse from where I'm sitting, unless its a race car of course. If my daughter wanted one I would buy it for her. I was bored and Googled them, stock seem fine but modifications on them seem to be troublesome. Reliability seems good. Seems like a great choice for a P plater. Haters are gonna hate.
  6. You want the gap as big as you can get it without missfiring, try 1mm then if that still missfiring go down to .9mm, and so on and so forth, if its still missfiring anylower than .8mm at 15lb you may have other problems. aie.
  7. I'll he watching them rubbing one out rubbing one out.
  8. PHYSICS, letting your exhaust flow will reduce backpressure thus letting your turbo spool more freely. More boost=you need a smaller gap on your plugs, if its coughing at high rpm try reducing the gap to .9 and see if that helps, maybe you need more fuel ?, take it to a tuner and check it out, its the only safe way.
  9. So running high boost is living in the past now, well let's see how my new old style TO4Z goes with 25+psi rammed down its guts, I think I'm going to enjoy living in the past. On topic, my old stock turbo ran at 14lb for 12months, when it was pulled off (pulled off he he) it was fine, just luck or regular servicing ? Maybe a bit of both, I was expecting it to blow so I upgraded to a China spec, it was good for a while but hit its limit of around 300, now I'm getting a T series which should keep me happy once some lbs has been thrown at it.
  10. Dont get to wrapped around the axles with tread wear ratings, the manufacturer does its own testing and write what they want really, also old stock will be dried up and hard, check date of manufacture. I wouldnt buy tyres from Australia anymore when I can get tyres for $160 in the US that cost $450 here, and even with $350 delivery fee it still cost less, $990 as opposed to $1800. Until I can get them for the same price my money goes to helping the US economy. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?skipOver=true&width=265%2F&ratio=40&diameter=18
  11. A1RM,s, they do get a bit noisy when on the street but after a bit of work are good to go and quite again for a couple of hundred K,s on the street. With DBA 4000 rotors they have been faultless, albeit I only do springs.
  12. Save your money, buying from a yard you will be paying top dollar for a average car, also interest will add 30% to the price, and then you will need full insurance, factor in a grand or two for that if you can get it due to your age or mods on the car. If you buy privately you may be able to buy a better car for less money, its a buyers market. Don't buy a rolling defect with a body kit and 20" rims, buy a neat car with sensible mod,s, its better to have a car that looks stock but goes,stops and handles than a car that looks like its from FnF but gets blown at the lights by someones mum in their Camery.
  13. I have one. No I don't,I have a 044, I'm such a liar.
  14. WTF, no long sleeve Super Lap t shirts. On a positive note, Awesome turn out, lots of shiny bits in the stalls and lots of nice people. Also the double choc with nuts ice creams me and my daughter had were sweeeeet.
  15. Tire rack dot com, here I come again.
  16. "Kinky Sex Makes The World Go 'Round" Greetings:This is the Secretary of War at the State Department of the United States We have a problem. The companies want something done about this sluggish world economic situation Profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth Now we know there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property. It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job It's about time we did something constructive with these people We've got thousands of 'em here too. They're crawling all over The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together- And start another war The President? He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro Napalm People running down the road, skin on fire The Soviets seem up for it: The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years. Hell, Afghanistan's no fun So whadya say? We don't even have to win this war. We just want to cut down on some of this excess population Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can. We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle and send 'em on their way Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout Northern Ireland? Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America? We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East-we need that oil We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad didn't even show up. I tell ya That man is unreliable. The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one Now just think for a minute-We can make this war so big-so BIG The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right. Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls Now don't worry about demonstrations-just pump up your drug supply. So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam. We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong. Kept the war functioning just fine It's easy. We've got our college kids so interested in beer they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard, they wouldn't even know what it looked like So how 'bout it? Look-War is money. The arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factories up to full production the whole economy is going to collapse The Soviets are in the same boat. We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!? That's excellent. We knew you'd agree The companies will be very pleased.
  17. If it was original it would be worth more than a run of the mill R33 GTR. If it is with the guards and doors and stuff, FFS someone go look at it and give us some feed back. Or bring it to Sydney and I might buy it. http://j-spec.com.au/featured/1998-Nissan-Skyline-GTR_sedan_Autech_40th_Anniversary-15503.html
  18. Slightly more road noise than I would have thought for a hi po road tyre, but grip in wet and dry so far is excellent, well worth the slight raise in road noise, lucky the 044 no rear seat and induction noise drowns it out. Will be getting some 265/40 17 for my track day rims for sure, I just need the car working properly so my old Dunlop DO1Js finally wear out.
  19. The CONTACT US link on rehearing site, www.tirerack.com
  20. Just read up on it, no more left and right hand discs, and more off gassing apparently. Easy on the machining as they dont need to tool up for 2 different sides so they save money on manufacturing, will we see it at the shop, I doubt it. Extra off gassing is good if its needed I suppose. Yes, new things scare me......................
  21. They changed the style a while ago Ive been told, old style had the wipper slot going to the edge of the disk where as the newer ones didnt, like mine. Are these new ones more efficient at removing built up gasses? Whats the price difference, are these replacing the DBA 4000 or are they just another line.
