More ants, from a rival neighbourhood.

actually just reading some of the other topics in this subforum...you may have a point...what IS going on there Terry?

maybe you didn 't read the thread title properly Birds or haven't seen the 80's classic 'Piranha" which was based on a true story (possibly)....them little fishes, they'll wreck ya

Are you moving to qld Terry? What's with all the pestilence-related questions..?

1 - would rather a zinger burger from KFC 2- would hazard a guess and say if it would work, 'they' would have done by now...

Good question!!!!! ! As per above. I don't know.

^^as above. The clue is in the T.

in Qld, call the Council and get them to send the fire ant dept out works a treat. But seriously I don't know. We used to get them around every now and then when I lived in the suburbs. The pest crews that is, not the ants.

if you haven't read 'the 4 hour body" by Tim Ferris and you're serious about making body shape/diet changes, I suggest you do. It's written so you don't even need to read the whole book, just the relevant section on what you're trying to achieve. Tried and tested for me, lot of usable info in there.

Thanks dude, you just made me $20 Let me know how you go after speaking to King, and no lying about it just to save face.

actually yeah you're right sorry, I forgot you sometimes speak fluent pompous-git mixed with some sort of inbred 18th-century coalminer dialect. as per defintion 1. affectedly grand, solemn, or self-important. "a pompous ass who pretends he knows everything"

By the way. I load tested them. They're 5.something kg/mm but they're not linear. load-of-bullshit tested them, more like. If you did actually test them then you fu*ked up the test; cos they're linear. nope. The diameter of the coils is irrelevant, it's how much they compress under load, eg a 6kg/mm spring compressing 1mm under 6kg of load. I know this to be fact, having specifically asked King Springs, MCA Suspension, BC Australia etc this question, when asking about any difference of spring rate between the wider springs found on stock suspension and the smaller diameter coils found on aftermarket coilovers. I'm surprised you didn't know that, being an engineer and all. pretty much yep, more a dual-rate spring rather than a true 'progressive' where the coil spacing more evenly changes top to bottom. You can see this on the Tein website where they list the different spring rates for the same springs. But still classed as a progressive spring.

Wtf does that even mean? Trying too hard to put too many words together.Agreed, most likely drifting/track, not that it matters either way. Keep the hicas bar if already fitted.

I won't waste any time on this; call king springs and ask their tech dept about the spring rate of their r33 springs (as I did when looking at buying a set of their springs a while back). Couldn't remember 100% which was linear but yes it is fronts, thanks for posting pic up gtsboy.

re yellow springs pictured, see how the coil spacing is even; they are linear. See on the red springs how the coils get closer together at the top; they are progressive.

Also from memory only 1 end of kings are progressive, other is linear, think its rears that are progressive?

Alot of people would prefer Not to have progressive rate springs for handling/performance purposes. I'd be surprised if the pedders weren't progressive anyway, u sure they're not?

Would do the bilstein shocks first, don't think there'd be alot between king and pedders springs once matched with decent shocks.

If it's not eccentric/offset, i can't see that it would matter...is this for r33gtst?

Wow. Joining the pack mentality, that's so tough. I wouldn't run one of these ecu's either, but - Blitz are well known tuning company, quite likely they'd done some tuning and research as to what works best as an 'average tune' for the basic upgrades of intake, exhaust, boost increase, and it could feasibly plug in and run reasonably well. Could. Not to say it would, but could. And sounds like no one on here but OP actually has tried and knows. If i had one, and a dyno and monitoring gear handy, i'd plug it in and see how it runs too.

Ahhh....me actually, cos i looked at that option and decided it was a shit idea, easier to just make something new up. The kinugawa bracket can be fitted to stock turbo btw...I'll leave it with u...

The bracket is part of the assembly so you would need to cut it off anyway. Some plate steel or alum would do the job...?

Thats interesting Daleo, i have one on an rb25 and am in Brisbane where at the moment, friggin hot, and often is. I've had no oheating issues and it holds the same spot on the temp gauge. I don't have a digital gauge but when i have monitored temp via consult after drag runs, the temp stays the same/ even as with the stock fan. It is bloody loud tho lol. From your report it might ve worth doing more temp datalogging though.

Sounds alot like a few posts already by some other user, is your name matty...? And what is the point of thread; i just searched carsales.com and there was at least one gtr for sale in australia... possibly more. Not hard to find. But.....Are you offering a finder's fee? My rates are unreasonable but my service is top notch, i'll get you that car. You said you wanted a red one right?

Turbo timer. Or, time/space continium glitch, so the passage of time keeps looping and the car will NEVER turn off until you break the loop. You are in the matrix. I wish it was the 2nd but more likely turbo timer.
