I'm in the same boat, I downgraded my psp then upgraded to a custom firmware version then left it for ages. Now I'm not sure how I can upgrade it to the newest custom firmware. I have looked on a few sites on how to do it and it seems like a pain in the ass, with about 10 different programs and versions needed to be downloaded and installed in the correct order if you want to be able to download and play the newest games.

Does having a turbo make any difference to economy? I have gotten 550kms to a tank in normal around town conditions and 650kms highway cruising at ~95kmph, couldve pushed it to past 700kms as well but wasnt game to try it. I usually get around 460-470kms per 50L around town. This is in an r33 gtst and seems to be better than most of the N/A figures here.

Yeah ive told my parents to try get the rego if they see it again and Im putting in an ignition switch first thing tomorrow. It probably wasn't 6 maoris lol but last time I saw it there were 5 big maoris packed in the hyundai like sardines

Just got home from work today and dad said there was a "white hyundai getz with about 6 maoris in it" pulled up in the driveway that took off when they saw him. Pretty much 100% sure now that they were there for my car

First car I technically owned is my current r33 gtst. I spent my first 6 months on P's driving a 4age ae82 corolla though.

thanks for the replies, I dont really have much money to spare so I'll probably get an ignition/fuel cut switch installed, my dad thinks it should be quite easy to do and said he has done it on his own vehicles in the past The fuel tank suggestion seems a bit extreme haha specially with my mystery fuel guage that drops from full to empty in 100kms I do have 3rd party fire+theft however I really wouldn't like to have the car stolen as the stupid women that did my insurance told me "r33s are worth 6.5k at most" according to redbook and I have a 3k excess so the payout would be a grand total of 3.5k woohoo.. nearly enough for me to go on boostcruising and buy a VL

Maybe Im being paranoid but Im starting to worry about my car being broken into or stolen. In the past month theres been a hyundai getz full of 7ft maoris pull up and stare at my house and car before tearing off one wheel squealing, a white R34 pull up also to look at my car and finally last night at a bit past midnite what I assume was a stolen dark coloured R33 pulled up with a guy shining a torch on my car. I noticed this while watching a movie and quickly ran outside, the r33 reversed flatout nearly leaving his bumper on my curb before crunching it into first and speeding off, could hear him bouncing off the limiter before crunching into 2nd and today I found a broken r33 doorhandle there as well (from the other car not mine). I can only garage my car 50% of the time and it has an alarm, the cars nothing special either just a stock 33 s1 gtst with maybe $300 of audio gear and a nobrand turbotimer. I do live on a busy street though Is there anything else I can do or should do to protect my car?

vodka and coke zero for me, not for the taste but I dont seem to get hangovers when drinking this or coolabah fruity lexia if im poor

Make sure to fill up at or just before Bunbury its the most southern part of WA that still has close to perth metro prices. After that fuel jumps like 15-20cpl higher in price everywhere. (or it did a few months ago went I went to margret river)

Why is it dodgey? Its a more secure fit than the stock plumback connection, if any connection does fail on my installation work it wont be this part. Anyway I would rate my work as alot better than the very messy previous atmospheric blow off valve installation.

I just connected it by putting a piece of the smaller gtst bov type piping inside the larger gtr rubber piping, and then put a radiator clip thingie on it and joined it as normal. I don't think its leaking but I may test it further just to be sure.

OK so its a GTR bov? not bad for $10 then I guess:p The guy selling it didnt know much about it, he drove an audi and when I asked which model skyline he used to own he said he had never even owned a nissan so I dunno how he obtained it. I have taken one of the recirc valves off and installed it on my skyline. Is the only difference between the gtst and gtr recirc valves the pipe sizes on the larger end? can anyone confirm this or are is there other changes as well? Seems to run fine with the new recirc valve, now it makes a funny "pchieww" type noise instead of pshhhhttt at gear changes, the cars responsiveness also seems ever so slightly decreased though it is a very subtle difference which is expected I guess. The cars small backfiring issue and occasionally lumpy idle also appear to be solved.

I am pretty sure that it is a GTR type twin recirc valve and I am currently fitting one of the recirc valves to my skyline, I'm currently installing it and will see how it goes, looking like the only modification needed will be from the different pipe sizes which is an easy fix. Will see how it runs soon

uhh mine came off when I lightly scratched it off lightly with my fingernail. It was an r33gtst and half pealing already though, and no it didnt damage the paint or leave any visible marks except the paint underneath being slightly less aged as would be expected

Its a genuine nissan part and it has recirculation valve written on it so it couldnt be a blow off valve though. The sticker on it says REC88-04 I4483 05U00 (the i might be a 1 an zero's o vice verca) and the silver part of the sticker says 9416A

I just picked this up as advertised an an "r33 recirc valve" however Im thinking that this isnt what it is. I sort of suspected this when I bought it but it was just a fraction of the $50 that most people charge for one on this site. Can anyone tell me what it is? or if it is possible that I could use this on my 33 gtst?

Yesterday I was talking to a mate who was saying that his car, a 90's model daewoo lanos is insured for an agreed value of $12,500, even though he got it from his mum who payed under $3000 for it a few years ago. He reckons if he writes it off he will get payed the whole 12.5 grand but I reckon that they would just buy him another daewoo lanos or reevalute his vehicles cost when he does crash it. He is also obviously paying a decent amount more than he should for his insurance due to the agreed value being so high. Thoughts?

I just bought this game and I'm wondering if its a lemon. Yes the graphics/sounds are awesome, and I dont mind the handling and physics, its not as good as some of the other games but its a big improvement on previous NFS titles. I am thinking that EA forgot to test this game at all for bugs and glitches though becuase there seem to be an alful lot of them. My 34 GTR that I just spent all my ingame credits on is immune to part upgrades (like I can buy them and apply them but they dont do anything) and the drifting is absolute shit. It is so shit not even the game its self can handle the shittiness of drift. 7/10 times when the drift event begins with a rolling start the computer will lose it, so instead of starting at 60kmph or w/e I start backwards up against a side barrier. This is all after 1 day of gameplay so god knows what else I'll find or if I'll even be able to make it to the end of the game. I have also heard of some pretty bad ommisions such as the mouse not working on PC version and the XBOX version trying to connect to the playstation store online.

Im about to fix a dent in the exact same spot of my 33 gtst, my dent is a not quite as deep as yours but covers the exact same area as yours. My quotes have ranged from $900 at a dodgy looking place to $1350 at a luxury repairs place (same spot the $100k merc that hit me went lol), my 33 is also 2 tone unlike yours which adds ~$100 to the price, so I guess your quotes would probably around $1000-1500 provided theres no damage other than the panels.

i thought it was $150 and 2 demerits for not displaying P plates?

Can anyone help me? My car is just a fairly stock 33 gtst(just got exhaust and a pod filter). It is never tracked and isnt driven much harder than the average prius, though I very occasionally engage in a bit of spirited driving. Most of my trips are quite short though average drive would be about 5km. I am about to do the first oil change on it since my ownership which is ~8500kms since last owner did it. Which oil should I be using, preferably would like something not too expensive, $80 for 5L would be about my limit if possible. I was thinking also 10w40 grade? is this good for the application. Also would like to know where I can buy some decent oil in perth as I cant find anything other than just basic supercheap auto stuff

The new marmion road section to yanchep is a pretty nice road, the views arnt bad and the road is less bumpy than most others in WA. unrelated but have also seen what may have been a journalist in a new model red ferrari doing at least 250kmph on this road from the speed he overtook me and the speed that I was travelling at already

I read somewhere that NA skylines were able to run on regular japanese fuel while the turbocharged versions ran on premium. Im pretty sure regular japanese fuel is 89 AKI which equates to around 94 octane so maybe try 95 octane? Keep in mind I know next to nothing about skylines so this may not be true

I would be very very interested in that do luck boot if you want to sell it seperately. Please pm me
