  1. use your mum's hairdrier in the intake....cos hot air into engine makes it easier to burn faster
  2. Roadsafe BJ5515 - suits for Rear Hicas Ball Joint
  3. Lol...hardly matters to most ppl but obviously does to OP, cause he asked. 99% sure its from rear of engine to front, with front hose leading to air bleeder screw.
  4. Also that's not alot of toe-in on front, which will lead it to 'tramline' and pull off-line more easily.
  5. Also rhs camber is fair bit more than left on yhat report. Lhs would usually be more than right on a road car, tom compensate for camber of road.
  6. Ahhh k. Yeah i put that down to them just never actually measuring/fitting one to an r33, so they're not putting they ass on the line saying they fit. As mentioned i took a shot znd just bought them, they were about 3mm longer, basically exactly the same and fitted fine.
  7. yeah I'm not seeing the problem....? what's the issue with the roadsafe part numbers you found?
  8. i suggest Roadsafe rack ends and tie rods, available thru Bursons. About $50 each I think, for rack ends? I ordered R34 ends and rods and they were the same as those on my r33 s2.
  9. Haha i'm very glad you're moving, that's my neighbourhood now. Best of luck with it too.
  10. Damn straight. I braced the gap in the stock mount with some very hard rubber.... Was bloody terrible, vibration city. New nismo tranny mount from japan off ebay was only $87 delivered. Win.
  11. I have had nismo, Hel and brakewest lines. Brakewest definitely the best IMO, thick and oem style fittings, 100% adr too. Made in aus doen in melb, good price.
  12. yeah I'd be extremely surprised if a cheap metal cat like magnaflow would stand up to the high temps and rigors of trackwork, think that would be asking alot of them. Street shouldn't be any isssue though. I'd be putting in a 3in race pipe during track use myself.
  13. I would like to know this too if you don't mind, I've used magnaflow 200c metal cats on two of my cars with no problems, and they're fairly cheap on the scale of cats. While there may be issues passing emissions with a 100c cat, I'd much rather take my chances of "maybe/maybe not" passing a test, than certainly being screwed running no cat.
  14. For general porpoise, venom 100c 5inch metal cat, IMO.
  15. have been looking at the Bride replica seats lately, and price is much better for a pair than just one. From this ebay seller, $400 each delivered in a pair as opposed to $580 for a single. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-pair-2-PCS-Bride-Style-Stradia-II-Low-Max-Semi-Bucket-Reclinable-Sport-Seats-/181221421509?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a31a371c5 so, wondering if anyone in the Brisbane area wants to go halves in the pair?
  16. ??? She was the one that kicked the jack out..
  17. heh...I'm not.
  18. this happened to me last year when the metal jack mount under the car bent (minus the me being crushed to death part). Had some serious pant-soilage when the car dropped and I heard the clang as the jackstand took the load.....gtfo from under the car in record time lol
  19. mine does the same thing, quite loud, with no difference in how much the fan slips on the clutch. From reading threads about this on other forums, my understanding is the design of the nissan fan incorporates trying to minimize noise as well as move air volume, whereas the gktech fan is designed for moving maximum air and reducing drag, and not much concern given to the noise factor. Something about the tapering out to a thinner point at the tip of the fan, greatly reducing drag at higher rpm. Ass-dyno tells me it 'feels' better at higher rpm, but yeah quite roar-y driving around in traffic esp when cold.
  20. i don't know that's possible; my experience is they either fit without mods and the pad doesn't fit perfectly on the disc, or you need to do some modding to fit.
  21. i consider the loud exhaust a road-safety measure, kind of like an early warning system. Car coming, get the hell out the way. Being in a car when I can't even hear if it's idling/on makes me physically nauseous.
  22. still available, and i'm strapped for ca$h...don't be shy with the interest now..
  23. still available, and i'm strapped for ca$h...don't be shy with the interest now..
  24. arrived today, very quick postage. Looks good, seems fairly good construction/materials, not throwaway plastic junk. Will give it a crack on weekend.
  25. that's funny, i usually have the police telling me to put my clothes back on wonder what happens with the forms received though, so one person fills out a form saying you're hooning, and then what, you're charged? or flagged on the system, etc? I don't "hoon" but do drive a car with a louder than stock exhaust and nice rims, the way some people look at the car even just driving along normally it's like i've got my foot to the floor producing 40 metres of smoke. Driving at 10k ph through a wide open carpark and some guy goes 'slow down dickhead' wtf, I don' think it will go any slower without being parked mate. And that's my concern with this, that some people's ill-informed perceptions will result in people being penalised or at very least have un-needed trouble created for them.
