  1. Try force-refreshing (control-F5). Here is a screenshot of the border issue: Lucien.
  2. Is there any way to delay its display slightly, so that you actually have to hover for a (say) a second over the title before it displays? At present (using Firefox) it displays straight away which can be a little annoying if your just moving the mouse down/up the list of thread titles to get to whichever one you want. Don't take that as a criticism: I realise you're trying to fix everything at once. Its just a small usability suggestion Edit: Also, the right side of the box outline doesn't seem to render properly for some of the hover-over descriptions. I'll take a screenshot if you can't reproduce.
  3. No, GT-R stock setups are not sequential: that would be pointless given that both turbos are exactly the same size. Lucien.
  4. Just a small one. Tracking emails are coming in as sent by "Skylines Australia <[email protected]>". Might want to change that back to <[email protected]> Lucien.
  5. Renault F1 Espace: http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/heritage/lan...ultespacef1.htm LW.
  6. Oh thank god -- I am subscribed to 2000+ threads. Total junkie Lucien. PS. Thanks for fixing the permissions on my account PranK.
  7. Listen carefully to the flash intro movie and you'll get it straight from the horses (well, Nissans) mouth: http://www.nissan.co.jp/STAGEA/
  8. Is there a better/happer compromise to be had than the factory item for a street driven car though...? If there is nothing to be gained I'm happy to pocket the saving
  9. High duncan, No, I have not had the pleasure, I have only read other people's experiences (which are overwhelmingly positive, but you wouldn't expect them to be too critical of their decision having just shelled out $500+ ). Does the faster revving, in your experience, mitigate some of the torque loss at low revs? Not worth the tradeoff?
  10. Best to talk to Jim. He doesn't quote power figures for his clutches. Give him a call and he will go through what you want the clutch for (street, track, drag), your driving style, and the car's state of tune/power levels and then will recommend what he thinks best suits.
  11. Jim Berry (Race Clutch) Italia Spares 26 Gladys Street, Stones Corner QLD 4120 (07)3847 9999 His "stage one" clutch is about $690 + tax IIRC (I can't find the piece of paper I wrote it down ).
  12. You get a case of CITC (ceramic in the cat). The rear ceramic wheel disintegrates and a nice chunks of ceramic wheel make their way down your exhaust, lodging in the cat (assuming you have one). If your unlucky, some of the crap gets sucked back in to the engine. Lucien.
  13. What should be used instead? I'm very tempted by some of those nice Nismo rear skirts like so. According to the seller they can be double-sided taped in place, but I would have thought they should be moulded at the edges with some fibreglass? Back on topic: if I were a GTS-t owner I would probably change to a GT-R front as I just don't like the GTS-t front. Not because I am trying to suggest the car is a GT-R, but because there is an obvious visual improvement along with some other gains. Since I own a GT-R anyway, its not a problem Lucien.
  14. D-Speed make clear R32 GT-R indicators for Y38,000 RRP: http://www.dspeed.co.jp/winker/index.html Lucien.
  15. No, its Vile-side
  16. Hi Adrian, Box already has Redline Shockproof Lightweight (installed about 2000KM ago): if you remember I was once trying to locate some in Wollongong Jim said to get the flywheel machined locally (he said Repco are usually OK), but perhaps I should discuss balancing as one. Jim also said he'll send down a rear main seal. Re: the spigot bush, any thoughts on whether the UAS improved item is worth the dough ($25)?: Finally, why do you say stick with the standard rubber clutch line? Sorry for all the questions: clutches aren't my speciality (obviously). Lucien.
  17. Are these the standard or smoked versions? New or used? Pictures? Cheers, Lucien.
  18. The more central question is: prelude to what? A decent car?
  19. Hi Ken, Thanks for the info and price. To be honest that's probably more than I want to pay at this point, but I'll keep you in mind. Lucien.
  20. Noone?
  21. Eep. That doesn't sound good. What's the go exactly? I was planning on just getting Grey Imports to do the work as I'm too busy at the moment, but if its a PITA I might not
  22. I've got a new one for some of you guys: pe·dan·tic (pə-dăn'tĭk) adj. Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules: a pedantic attention to details.
  23. Hi Guys, As some of you have probably noticed, my clutch has apparently died. To cut a long story short I've pretty much decided to give one of those Jim Berry clutches I keep hearing praised. Anyway, I have a nasty habit of going a bit OTT with anything related to a car. You know the problem? Changing brake fluid becomes an excuse to change brake lines, refurb the calipers, paint the calipers, and on and on it goes. Given the clutch is being changed I figued I would also... Have the clutch line changed over to a new braided clutch line (I have one sitting around) Change the thrust bearing to avoid any possible noise problems down the track Machine the flywheel Are there any other bits and pieces worth doing at the same time? I was tempted to get a lightened flywheel, but I can't find any decent specials and $500-600 would probably be better spent elsewhere (or am I wrong?). What about the clutch pivot ball or sweat bearing? (I noticed UAS sells improved versions of both). Edit: Whoops I should have mentioned, this is all for a 1989 R32 GT-R. Cheers, Lucien.
  24. :werd: I've got an energy polarizer he might be interested in.
