My ride quality in the Bilsteins vs 'whats on there' was pretty similar, enough that people were saying 'dude just leave these in there and save the trouble!' Except you could drift the car around quite easily with stock power. Which is great, it was consistent and smooth, but stock power, vs having CONSIDERABLY more actual grip under power... with near on 400rwkw. Honestly, you have to have your suspension fit your need. If you are only ever going to have 260rwkw in a punchy setup, you prob don't need or want to spend 4k on getting it to hold onto the road, because you don't need it. See housemate's shockworks S15, with 250rwkw it juuussst loses grip on power, but add 100RWKW on it and it'd be undrivable in a straight line. Srsly the best cars no matter what level they are, are the ones where everything is matched up properly to what you're doing with it.

I recently bought a GTT which had some kind of hard jap coilover on them. Nfi what they are, never heard of them. They are hard. My previous car has Bilsteins which is the "I WANT EVERY OPTION POSSIBLE" from Sydneykid which I spent over $4000 on for everything. Pretty much best mod I've made. After driving the standard GTT with these (conceivably cheap?) hard coils on them, I can immediately feel the difference in trying to drive from what was probably the 'best' (or at least better?) setup vs a cheap set of hard coils. It's just night and day. I can also attest Shockworks stuff is good too - Housemate has a S15 with a set and the attention they put in for valving and drivability and most importantly the real question which is 'what do you want the car to be good for?' 'what are you planning to do with the car, please provide percentages' Which really is the answer as to how good your 'budget' suspension will be. IMO, save up and buy it once, properly, and you won't regret doing so (PS, N/A R34's have eyelet rears. Turbos have fork rears)

I had a na (not my choice) that I turned into a fully built auto everything in short, buy gtt Simply looking at the stuff on a GT, vs whats REALLY on the GTT you will buy a GTT. There's differences in little things all over the place. Sell NA to a P plater. Buy GTT. It is the smartest thing you will ever do.

I am yet to see a travel blogger who does it to show off, or say how awesome or cultured they are. The travellers you see and meet out there doing things are almost always the most genuine, friendly people who believe the best in humanity, they're doing it because someone asked them to, or because they want to share the fun and experiences they have experienced. These people are more often that not just curious explorers going out there to find things/lifestyle/people that are different from they are and wanting to learn, gain more experience, just say hello and generally be nice people. I personally took notes on my (short) trips mainly because a) I can refer people who ask SO MAN HOW WAS YOUR TRIP and just point them to it and they can read if they cbf b) So I personally remember the things that happened, i.e for my own sake because my memory is poor. Not saying you shouldn't drink beer in Germany, you should. Get all in on any local food and drink you can, wherever you go. More so the people 'you know' who go to somewhere like Thailand specifically and exclusively for cheap drink/binge/party session then act as though they're cultured and awesome travellers. They may or may not own jetski's and malloo utes I'm all for people doing it because they want a cheap party trip, as long as they admit that's why they went there, but I have to admit to pure rage any time I see some non-western town with a 'tourist' area of westernized sales gaudy shit in it. Selling out their own culture for the $ makes me really angry at the party dickheads who go there because WHOOOO $2 COCKTAILS f**k YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

If you've travelled to the middle of nowhere and get welcomed into a strangers home and drink local whatever drink and can't speak the language and everyone is laughing and having a great time AND you don't die ... then yes you're doing it right edit: globatrol.com is absolutely doing it right

Having done a bit of travel I can attest the best travel is going to places no one goes to. If the highlight of your trip is beer and/or party whoa you have wasted your time and don't even know it .... unashamed travel hipster

$500! Can you buy 4 new tyres for $500? Ordinarily I'd say no But now you can, they even come on wheels!

+1 for the 'not actually stock turbos' Given -7's and -9's and -5's look identical from the outside to stock turbos, I'm going to say they aren't ...they are also what Hypergear are up against in terms of 'bolt on 100% legal high flow-looking' turbo options, curious to see if Stao can get turbos to respond that well and make 375rwkw on E85 and look entirely standard which is what a -9 will do Or more than 500+rwkw which is what gtx2863 fronts will do in standard housings

Yep, I was told the "pads for k-sport/d2" should fit but you may need to modify/grind the pad a bit to fit, which meant it didn't fit. Either that or buy the actual pads from the JJ site. So will these fit without modifications? Also Simon, the green pads that come with them are baaaaad. I mean they're good for street, and by 'good for street' I actually mean I had a fair amount of brake fade in the hills with a 356mm set vs the standard brakes which had none. hence the research into pads

Simon if you can ever find brake pads for that kit I'd love to know, as I have the same Kit and Just Jap have no idea which pads actually fit it which was fantastic

Unless you leave it in the engine bay Go Nistune, unless you absolutely need a feature that Nistune cannot provide. Then again, given the setup (high mount and FFP).. looking stock is not high on the list of priorities

Yep, one that needs an engineering cert to clear, to boot. Put it in a 33 or a 32 lol. It would have been considerably easy to just stockify the R33 it came out vs pulling the engine out and putting it into another car. Or just nistune/highflow its stock officeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

With all due respect to the esteemed Mr Birds, trolling or not, this statement must be mocked for being incorrect.

Yep. BB works as well. Puts it in plain text format, but it works enough. I am using the Pulse theme

Howdy y'all Came off a R34 I bought which needed 4 new tyres for a RWC. Great for, uh... RWC. Or selling your own car and keeping wheels, and/or any reason you may want them, I won't judge. Use them as tables or something. Tyres cost more than $150ea, selling all 4 for $600 with appopriate discounts for boobs.

This drives me absolutely insane at home using IE (yeah yeah) Happens on IE11 and 10 (don't have any other versions). Happens in normal and 'full' editor mode. Have yet to try it in BB code mode but will do so and try this.

The real smart option is sell the un-built-up yet car and buy someone else's finished project car then change the styling/bits to suit what your end goal is. This saves you monstrous amounts of time and money in the long run.

If its a major rebuilt R33 engine, I would simply put it into a R33 GTST shell which could be had very not very much at all, lol.

I was going to jokingly refer scotty nm35 as above, as I am sure he is very much over currently wiring approximately everything in my car. Putting a R33 RB25 into a R34 is just like argh man, why! I would wager it would be simpler to pay someone to remove the R33 RB25 and put a R34 RB25DET Neo in there, vs trying to find someone to get all that wiring to work.

The plates do kind of beg for it. As do (in that photo) the tyres that sit wildly outside the guards? Also burwood/knox What was the defect actually for?

All the narrowband 02 does is really trim the fuel on cruise/idle/low load situations. 02 sensor being bad usually has symptoms of doing a full tank of highway driving and draining the tank in 300kms when you're off boost and 5% throttle the entire duration of the fuel tank. It wouldn't even be in the mix of things occurring if you're driving in any kind of spirited fashion, unless this problem of bogginess happens when shifting gear entirely off boost from 2nd to 3rd at 25kmh at 5% throttle

Actual answer: ~500RWKW I know this because I have read the dyno thread

You see though Mr Artz, that's the thing about depression. If you've been through it before, you know the answer is to look at it logically, deconstruct the problem, attack it bit by bit with logical actions and change and you will notice/see results. Like any problem. From cars, to doing chores around the house, to anything. Literally any task. But the kicker is, if you're depressed, you can't see that this is the problem. Or can't see that there's even a problem at all. What is obvious and simple on the outside, is invisible and unknowable for someone who is depressed and has not previously gotten through it, or gotten help for it. Without perspective, these problems may literally be the worst thing this person has literally ever experienced. With perspective, people can say, "actually mate that's not so bad" but a person cannot just apply their perspective to other people. It's kind of why there's a shift to referring to it as a disease now. Because depression can be a chemical imbalance in the brain Depression can be the inability to self-diagnose a problem and how to resolve it I guess its easier to look at depression being the symptom of something, and the 'something' being the problem which is a legitimate issue. The thing is, unless you're prepared to look at depression in this light, which not everyone does, people being 'depressed' and mopey all the time can be frustrating as f*ck to those who aren't. Which sadly, perpetuates the cycle of people not talking about their problems or seeking help. If you feel something MIGHT be wrong, or MIGHT not be the 'same as everyone else' - Find out. See a doctor, whether you feel a little too sick, or something hurts, or you can't get your mind around certain inexorable problems. The "worst" case scenario is you find out you're actually entirely healthy And if you find out you do have a problem, well you're on your way to getting it fixed and being a healthier person as a result

I think the issue with that (I asked Mr Scotty for the same thing) was that there's actually no room to put one there?

There is no such thing as a perfect start on a cold melbourne day on e85. really its 1) Does the car ACTUALLY start in under 30 seconds (maybe multiple tries, couple stalls, etc) if yes: Your car is fine, get over it if no: Something is probably up I reckon people saying "lolz cold start on e85 is bad" is because they have an aneurysm if the car cranks more than once. Source - f**ked with cold starts on e85 for literally multiple hours a day over two weeks, ended up raging at fuel pump.
