  1. pfft s15 drivetrain is good for a sr20..but wont do burnouts everyday hey, again girls blouse theory its a 4 cylinder.. yeah lets make it do an 9 second quarter mile once or twice before it required a rebuild.. who wants that crap. r33 however has the strongest box nissan ever made besides.. for $5600 not exactly s15 budget no (just the mods are worth what im paying for the car) if i had the money for a s15.. id just buy a gtr
  2. true that thats why i'll go closer to 30%
  3. Found out the other night that 1015 mount gravatt / capalaba road petrol station has e85 at the pump! not sure if others are aware..but a 30-40% mix on stock injectors an regular 98 is a goer without a tune
  4. how does that work.. is it legal to drive for you still and just not to own ? whats the deal there on your p's ?
  5. yeap.. thats why it only cost $5600 its JDM's version of a commodore, my JDM bogadore is even black ..how perfect! nah i reckon r33's look aight and s15's are for girls blouses
  6. my mate attempted to do a brake burnout in my stagea the other night .. i wasnt impressed. however it did have the power to start spining the rear quite easily sporting 245's ..but again wasnt impressed on my brand new 2.2k of tyres.. last time hes driving it
  7. i hope you rang nissan and complained lots that you have been sold a fake skyline. i wouldve been upset :> and zorro .. isnt that a pintara ? *hides in the lolvo*

    just negotiated a purchase for an r33 gtst skid machine and am looking forward to picking it up tomorrow its like JDM's version of a commodore .. i love it already!
  9. proud new owner of a black r33 gtst skid machine. shall pick her up tomorrow.. mods start thursday
  10. lol i was waiting for that. you evidently havent seen me drive. i wasnt going to buy an s14 because it looked cool..and then blow its sr20 up the first week im hoping the rb25 lasts at least 2 weeks. lol i wouldve got kudos if i pasted this in the skyline thread. lol
  11. havent done anything to my stagea today..however i just purchased an R33 gtst for 5600$ from the private whole cars section.. should be good for 250kw with a tune and some new injectors apparently. dont take offence stagea ppls.. im not selling the stagea - just making sure it gets looked after more (the stag is too good) and this becomes the thrash car. corolla is up for sale also! definate win for the radiator.. sounds like the bigger core and being complete ally is a goer for that price. ityll cost you more than $300 for the custom top tank alone then youve gotta worry later that your bottom tank plastic will hold up against the top tank now being metal. even though the bottom tank takes alot less pressure generally.. still something to think about for later.
  12. well the bastard thing is .. soon as that top tank comes off.. it distorts shape soon as it cools and is pulled off. so you have to be ultra quick. (i worked at a radiator shop for a few years so what they claim is correct to an extent). And 9 times out of 10 it will crack the tank if the plastics old when its going back on if the plastic is worn thin. mind you im sure youll be alot softer on it than the radiator guys. youll need to take the entire radiator out. use a pair of long nosed pliers and slowly fold back every aliminium nib that holds the tank on..theres about 50 around the entire lip so ityll take a while..hopefully its just a busted o-ring like mine under the tank thatsif its seeping from the top tank.(youll notice the oring soon as that tank comes off thats sitting in the countersunk bezel and a rectangle shape.. they generally break at the corners). the trick is.. getting the tank on after replacing the o-ring without cracking it. when folding the nibs back down. but you could be ultra lucky and knock the entire job on the head with the o-ring replacement. other than that.. i had that seepage for over a month and it wasnt a big deal for it to be a serious problem.. lost about 20mls each week. not enough to stop the radiator flowing anytime soon. just potentially hazardous later down the track.. hold out if you can.. dont rush into it. the worst thats gonna happen is some white spray around your engine bay..under high boost, but just keep an eye on it at the same time.
  13. damn i had the same issue.. when i first got mine. Watch those radiator shops.. theyll say that the top tank is cracked when its probably just the o-ring they said mine was cracked..then said it will crack because its very thin then said it cracked again.. then charged me $500 for a custom top tank. - most will say the tank isnt a replacement part they can source, so youll have no choice to go custom ally top tank that they want to fabricate for a million bucks. if i was you. Id check out import monster for a complete rad i saw some recently for around the $200 mark..although shipping is going to bite you. was it hard to fit the nismo dash? ill need to pick your brain when that arrives
  14. hrm i wouldnt mind doing the triptronic reversal..when i fit my nismo dash.. did it take you long?
  15. its more the size of the cooler and the flow rate of the cooler that would give it more air than the stocky if anything. bearing in mind mine is alot stealther and less flow behind the number plate and the grill too. i bet yours has slightly more exposure there.
  16. hey buddy , ill call you after work. justed messaged you via mobile , send us your addy ill be over tonight circa 7pm if thats cool.
  17. im noticing since the tyre and rim upgrade that its alot harder to brake..possibly looking at a dba upgrade soon. BTW you checked ebay U.S lately.. seen BREMBO 6 pots for $500 on there (for all 4 calipers near new ).. but most of them are U.S only.. probably kill us on shipping. but i did see one auction with complete rotors and 6 pot brembo's with brand new lines for $900. cheap as mustard. to suit a 350z.. dare say thats us. and on a random note - my rear left suspension has started to creak.. dammit - hope its not those springs spoolin! (but could be my old rear shocks , or something not greased up!)
  18. wow ok interesting.. didnt know that those motors were that current. learns something here everyday
  19. cooparoo hey im in forest lake.. im keen to check this out. when are you available tomorrow? you got a vin number so i can rev's check it .. if its going unregisterd.
  20. hehe nah i think it is you who is confused. vg30 is our long lost cousin
  21. i'll vouch for that , scott makes a quality dump!, the one he supplied me is fantastic. (that he fabricated himself). heh by the sounds of things you run a fake cat mr jetwreck
  22. awesome - champ! from what i understand also.. the dolphin upgrade isnt mission critical its the other piece you've welded up, although i understand the dolphin helps marginally with the flow rate. im looking at rebuilding this turbo to be ready by late dec/early jan depending on how long they take. so anytime around then would be awesome? and what do you want for one? Cheers Keir
