Hey ppls. I'm on the hunt for 18" rims to suit a brand new Golf (for the missus) and have been shown a picture of some "Racing Development" wheels. Does anybody know where I can find these people on the web? All help appreciated. BASS OUT

Any further ideas on Cruises or events?

Abo is spot on. The top one is Standard (Series 1) and the bottom two are Nissan Sports. It's also what I have. I have the standard rear bar, and Nissan Sports front bar, Adz has the Nissan Sports rear bar and skirts too.

Anodising will be very very difficult because of all the fins and stuff. The solutions they have to put them in will get stuck in little nooks and crannies and make the finish very ordinary. I used a spray pack of flat black anti corrosive paint boughts from Bunnings. Looks great, works great, no problems at all.

Erik, No problems. Jager: When are you thinking of selling? Im sorry to have had it for this long and not had it finished. I have had many many problems with my fabricator, and have removed them from him now until I can get a prototype made up. I think Troy is going to be able to help me out with this. All others. R32: I need a duct which I can cut up. TurboX had to take his back because he was putting his car back together. Does anybody know of anyone who can supply an R32 duct for a while? R33: I still hae Jagers duct and will be making up the prototype of the insert ASAP, so I will come back with a price and time ASAP. R34: I will be borrowing ADZMAXs duct whilst his car is up on stands for a while soon, so the R34 GTT versions will be done after that. I'm sorry again for this stupid delay. Had I know it would have taken this long, I would never have put up the group buy until I had them all sorted. BASS OUT

Try CES Racing for a full pipe. Sell the dump pipe. Or BATMBL who will do the full pipe, again, sell the dump pipe.

Mine's black. At the end of the day, an intercooler is a heat sink on a road car. The faster it can radiate it heat to the outside air the better. But really, we aren't talking about massvie amounts of difference. BASS OUT

Deesil, you see the problem is that people want things organised for them and don't want to put the time in to do it themselves (not aimed at you, I can see you are trying to help) On top of that, they like to complain if enough isn't being done to keep them entertained. I just took three weeks of my life and spent every spare second organising a Tsunami Show and Shine, spoke to the coppers, spoke to countless other companies and organisations, and generally busted my arse to organise something that I though a lot of Skyline people would want to go to. Show off their cars, put them up against the Commodore Club and generally have a good time. I advestised it on countless forums, made up flyers, spoke to people in the street and at traffic lights and hoped that people would come along and support a great cause and a great day. On the day, the Skyline turn out was dismal. I think we had a max of maybe 10 or 12 cars. How embarrasing do you think that was for me? Telling people that the Skyline Club will be there and hardly anybody shows up? Full respect to those who did show up on the day and donated their money, eat some snags, bought some raffle tickets and pitched in to help with the BBQ and have a look around and came and have a beer with us afterwards. To those who always want something to do but don't want to do anything to organise it, this was the perfect opportunity. You could shine up your ride, talk to people about it and shoot the breeze on what was a magnificent day, there was even a cruise which started after the event to go on. But unfortunatly the Skylines Australia club looked pretty short on. Apart from the fact that we ran the BBQ, helped out with everything and generally pulled more than our fair share of weight to make the day a sucess. People need to either put up or shut up. Help out with the events or simply don't expect to have any. Become a member and go on the events that the membership entitles you to, be covered by the insurance, get your CAMS license, get the discounts and have a ball. If not, either organise your own or don't. It's up to you. The committee members bust their arses outside work hours to make the club sucessful and try to keep everyone happy. I'm about to organise a Dyno day at probably the very best Dyno facility in Victoria which I'm probably going to make a general event which you wont need to be a member to come along to. I bet that when I ask for deposits for people who want to run their cars on the day, I'll get "maybe I wont be able to come on the day" "What if the weather's crap" and various other excuses. You may also ask why you need to pay a deposit.... How can you expect a workshop to employ people on a Sunday to open their shop and run their $185p/h dyno if you aren't sure people will turn up? The only people then who get egg on their faces are the people who bust their arses to put the day on and organise the thing and much as they can. Not the people who said they would be there and then didn't turn up. I'm having a rant here, because I haven't had one for a while, but something sparked me on. Sometimes it gets right up me that I spend so much time trying to do stuff for people and then when something doesn't get planned exactly to what one person wants, they get sh1tty and pipe up on the forums! Anyway, Blah. That's my rant, and wont hear me rant very often about shit like this but today you got it. BASS OUT

Reducing Wastegate Creep to virtually nothing

I got a similar one from a place near me. Any Pneumatics place will have something that will suffice. Just take the Norgren part number with you and get the equivalent. -

I had one. It was actually quite good. It certainly brought boost on real quick, and after a fair bit of playing and adjusting I got it pretty good. Get a metal body one and ou should be fine. If you already have a bleed valve you can just put the relief valve in front of it and try it out. You WILL need to adjust your bleed valve after you install the relief though. BASS OUT -
And some photos of my car!!

Who buys a RED R1? And how's the pics of Navy boy? I thought it was Navy boys who were Gay, no Skyline owners..... All that time on a boat..... Only other cute litlle navy boys around....

He will probably be charged the $5000 escess which is due on a test drive. Why the fu(k would a dealership allow a 19 year old to drive a car like that is beyond me anyway. Somebody should send this to all medias and inform them of the reckless driving..... But that will still incriminate all those young drivers who think they are good enough to drive high powered cars on their Ps. BASS OUT -
Electric Water Pump & Thermo Fans
Bass Junky replied to PurpleR32's topic in General Automotive Discussion
I'm keen to know how much load on the alternator there is on the with the Davis craig pump.... http://www.daviescraig.com.au/main/display.asp?pid=8 -
rev. At the time, I had no means of adusting the fuel or anything. It was put up on the dyno, power run done, old gear removed, new gear fitted, adjustments made to cam gear and base timing, and then spun up on the dyno again. No difference. three of four adjustments made again, and still no difference. See this thread for details. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=33462 The guy who fitted the gear now runs his own shop and actually tuned the PFC on my car recently. He remembers my car from the cam gear fitting and found it strange that the R34 showed no results. I think some others have also tried this with the R34 and had similar results. We think is has a lot to do with the constantly variable intake cam timing.

Damn. I want somebody to fit cams on a standard engine and turbo to see the results. Look's like I'm going to have to do it myself. -

About $740 or so plus delivery Probably most worth it though. Make more power wih less boost. -

I'd go Z32 AFM (cos you have too) Hi Flow (cos you have too) Fuel Reg (cos you have too) Cams (so the power curve is fat like yo mama) SK has those car doing 250+ with cams. BASS OUT -
