  1. I just hit the boot release button (I don't have this feature activated on one car) followed by either the lock or unlock and it's stops the chirp just fine. Discovered it by accident too
  2. Have a set of PS3s on the Evo. They have so far survived a very hard Nebo run without any problems - a bit of wear on the outer shoulders because I don't run aggresive -ve camber on a 99% street car (running -1.5 front, -1.0 rear / factory toe settings, 0 front, 3mm total toe in rear). I think their true strength lies in the wet. Hit huge puddles of water at speed and the car tracks straight and true. It isn't Michelin's top dry performer but you won't be giving much away on hard street driving. It is a tyre that has come first (top 3 minimum) in a huge number of tyre tests in the past. Now that the price is so affordable, why would you even consider federal/falken/maxxis/nexen/bridgestone/toyo equivalents? They wear faster than I would like but equivalent to or better than B'stone RE002 for example.
  3. Someone beat you to it but I think they're still in denial. Cars with no De-reg papers etc and there are people still sticking up for the scum... Boils my blood! I really should open up a restaurant or something, cut corners and when people get sick or I get shut down by the Dept. of health, I'll just put on the forums/facebook that the food was there on consignment.
  4. Anybody posting the link of this new development on Evo Oz? I'm going to put down $100 + a soft serve they'll just sweep it under the carpet again.
  5. A couple months ago but have had a few go's before that with a few weeks in between. I just put another request in Well, for someone with over 20k posts on here, he isn't responding to me. It's like he's ignoring me or something.....
  6. And here I am trying to join up as part of the group on facebook and I keep getting rejected with no feedback at all It's like a secret uber exclusive club that excludes everybody including myself despite the fact I'm in QLD and do own one of these so called emo's.... What form of driving is this?
  7. Talk shit about the car you're reviewing and get the banstick from the manufacturer...simple. Politics as much as $$$ have got plenty to do with the comments in the reviews I reckon. IIRC, didn't Chris Harris get the banstick from Ferrari?
  8. Just over 1 month to go and we should have one more member back for cruises! I hope you've learnt from this .......................... Needs more power so at least you've got a smokescreen up and running while you make your great escape
  9. Sorry dude.. Didn't check here. Tom and I were there. Quite a few JDMs there. Lots of 4 door skylines, lots of evos, a few S chassis cars and GTSTs there. Also went on a short run just before the meet. Wasn't entirely good cos the roads were slightly wet but oh well Question is, were you there?
  10. Check for boost leaks. Re-secure all clamps to intercooler n piping. Worst case scenario, your ID3's dual solenoids or the control unit itself is buggered.
  11. You're a Kent anyway. Just skip it and come join us. Not like your mate drives a fancy car or something...
  12. Evo Nick is special. Not everyone is granted an audience with him...
  13. What you want in your Gbox is Redline Shockproof Lightweight aka Smurf's blood. It'll get rid of your problems and there are a million cases both on here and NS where this oil has solved grinding/shifting problems in Nissan gboxes. I know it worked for mine like a charm and I had gone through 3 differents oils. However, the oil is only masking the problem and ideally, you should be gunning for a rebuild with new synchros, parts etc... So if you're looking for a short term fix while you save up the funds for a rebuild, this is your best option.
  14. Holy smokes....nice car! I want a ride in this baby. Would be a handful! You should edit your post to remove the security details on the car. Never can be too careful. Cruise it is. Just had one last weekend
  15. I think you guys are looking too much into it. Have seen idiots using a gerny to hose out the engine bay. Then you see a fair few threads on here over the years asking for help cos their idle's shot or the car won't drive the same cos the coilpack valley's full of water etc... Don't you dare tell me you haven't seen those threads being posted up here before. It didn't seem to me that the OP knew what he was doing so giving idiot-proof advice saves a lot of heartache. Mind telling me what sort of sensitive electrics you have under your car? There's nothing of that nature under mine. Here in QLD, cars don't do deep water too well. SES work overtime pulling idiots that do try out of trouble. Maybe your car's really awesome?
  16. Lots of hard work A few used toothbrushes A decent degreaser that doesn't stink (3-in-1 degreaser for example) 303 aerospace protectant to bring the plastics/rubbers back to a nice matte, brand-new looking black colour. I do not hose out my engine bay. No amount of plastic and covers can keep water out of getting into sensitive electronics.
  17. Audio Express Sydney branch? I can handle that
  18. ^ you looking at hiring an adult apprentice?
  19. Pub lunch I can always do....well not always but most times Would really like to find time to do a Happy laps too. I wanna see what this car can do. Saw lots of cars there I've never seen before. Bigger JDM representation this time around too and most of them were different from the first time I went. Plenty of new people around just hanging around in their little cliques. We need a few more bodies so we can have ours
  20. ^Oh jeebus...forgot LOL Put the brakes on and take me for a drive. I really wanna see what this car can do! Any idea on the type of pads/discs you'll be using?
  21. Good on ya dude. Bout time you listened Cusco will be a bit rough round the edges and you'll clunk almost everywhere. Clutch in when you drive past coppers and you'll be fine Am wondering if the NA 33s had the drum brake setup on the rear as if they don't you'd have to get that setup as well or you'll be without a handbrake. Dude, we are about the only JDMs in town that do try to make an effort LOL We aren't gonna see any more If we don't rock up, then there's no representation.
  22. Been very quiet in here lately. No invites for runs or cruises or drives or anything. What gives guys? Anyone heading out to Nando's tomorrow if the weather holds up? I'd be keen to meet somewhere before we head out
  23. Look the snow tyres on it. Snow country vehicles are never a good buy. Surface rust today, swiss cheese in 10 years. Unless of course you decide to spend thousands disassembling the car after purchase and de-contaminating/rust proofing every single surface. Have family that live in Osaka and while it snows there its never heavy enough or frequent enough to warrant snow/winter tyres. They make do with all-seasons. If you are or know an expert with paint n panels, go for it. The LM is worth it for the colour alone IMO Better question, how long are you planning to keep the car for? SAU can recommend a few reputable dealers with which to dispose of the vehicle once you've had your jollies
  24. Just stirring mate. Had some spare time up my sleeve at work that day and thought, "why not?"
  25. You never wave at me though. Discrimination perhaps? So much for being an enthusiast
