  1. Within 3 weeks sounds alright. If you're not happy just sue the other driver BTW pay out for stolen is different to write off. When its stolen they investigate, especially if the car has been torched, so usually always takes longer.
  2. Yep, dynos are tuning tools. I dunno if I'd say ETs are pointless. I'd say all 3 individual measurements are pointless when stated on their own. Eg, no point having a 140mph TS if the best ET you can get is mid 11 when its capable of a low 10. First time at the track I ran 14.3@98mph with a 60' of 2.4. Best 60' on the day was 2.3. Only mod was a cat back zorst. I installed a K&N panel and made 126rwkw on BMT's dyno. I then added a few bits'n'pieces and made 140rwkw then ran a 13.8@101mph with a 60' of 2.2 on almost unroadworthy 205 tyres. From this visit to the track I learnt that TYRES are the best mod anyone can invest in coz my 60' times were almost unaffected and now wheelspin is an issue in second gear. Mods were: bleeder @ ~10psi, full exhaust (crappy cat tho), stock airbox with K&N panel filter. I've since upped the boost to 13psi and had a chipped ecu put in. It made 153rwkw. Just waiting for a set of wheels to arrive with new tyres and I'm aiming for a low 13 ET. To achieve this I'll need a sub 2s 60' and maybe a few more mph. I've personally spent just over $1K on mods. I'll be spending more than that on tyres alone.
  3. After installing a CES split front/dump pipe I couldnt recommend them enough. Build quality is awesome and my car gained 7rwkw when running 2psi less boost. They're a bit pricey but worth every cent IMO.
  4. IMO dyno figures mean 2 tenths of sweet FA. Get to a track to find out how much difference the mods have made.
  5. Yay to us!!!
  6. I hate Ford. I hate Holden. I like Skylines and Ferraris
  7. They certainly dont look like the stock ones that came out of mine. I had clarion dual cones without surrounds...
  8. :drooling: :aroused: That looks shit hot!!
  9. I would consider entering my car. My 18s should be on by then and the blue pearl makes her stand out a bit. Does the car have to be there for 3 days?
  10. I had the same problem. I used a mini angle grinder to shave a few mm off each side of the surround and now fits perfectly.
  11. Burnt!!!
  12. What a joke.... I lost control of my car when it was stock, nothing major, but it was enough for me to wake up. The Pres of MCCR puts a 600hp car into 3 trees@180, using up his 'Get out of death free' card, and has the nerve to post pics of himself standing on the wreck and say "laughin bout it now" I dont think there is an insult in the English language that can adequately describe this pathetic moron.
  13. 30 mins to write that? There mustve been more detail than the son of rajab of the Rings trilogy?
  14. dAVE, if it was for dd he wasnt suspended, he was cancelled. Theres a big difference..
  15. Nice saving! I'd put it down to being over 25 tho. 1st year mine went from $2500 to $1950. Next time its due I'll be over 25 so I might shop around.

    Floods In Hawthorn

    My friends dad had his newish Verada parked at Hawthorn bowls club at the time and it floated into a car that was only 3 hours old and wrote both of em off!! Made it to the news I think.
  17. The same could be said about break-ins as well...
  18. Funny stuff indeed!!

    Rays Wheels

    http://www.altavista.com has a translator that will allow you to navigate thru the site. I'd drop J-spec an email (http://www.j-spec.com.au). They should be able to get them for you. I currently have a set of 18" Rays on the way from Japan
  20. Make sure you allow some space for some sort of cold air partition/intake. The pod will be a waste of time otherwise.
  21. Sorry to be a pessimist but that noise becomes annoying after a while. I noticed when I went back to the stock air box. It is fun stomping on the accelerator going past bus stops full of people tho You say the pod has the same power output as a crappy stock filter in the stock box? What does that say about investing in a pod? Pods are an absolute waste of money unless they have some sort of CAI. A hi po panel filter in the stock air box will out perform an unshielded pod all day at any rev. You must’ve noticed a severe loss of bottom end torque at the very least?
  22. Sorry to hear Kev. LOL @ 'its dangerous if you hit a child'. You should've said "Thankyou captian obvious!" What about bullbars? Silly cops! I have driven down Rosanna Rd at least twice a day since having my Skyline (20 months) and have never had a problem....
  23. Let him go ahead and find out
  24. Spot on Adz. Uni students often forget that school is only busy for about 2 months a year.... I love it
  25. No worries. Rides very well
