  1. It's aluminium too. Thrifty AND lightweight. Is there anything the Coca Cola can't do?
  2. Anything pre-turbo is not going to have this effect, so it's probably not going to be your afm's or the o-rings on them. If you've still got factory rubber intercooler piping, check over that. You may have a leak there somewhere. Failing that, block off the BOV's and see if it makes a difference. I blocked mine off with cut up bits of coke can. Hooray for improvisation.
  3. Look, I'm not sure if I agree with all this business about spring rates being the same across all cars. Sure, on mcpherson strut cars it's going to be reasonably similar, but on a wishbone setup, it would be nearly impossible to compare spring rates across different platforms. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but everyone seems to be leaving out of the equation the location of the springs on the control arms. A higher spring rate mounted further in on an arm could be compared to a lower spring rate mounted further out on an arm. The spring itself might compress 1mm for every 7 kg, but with different length arms this could translate any number of ways. Toyota Soarers, Chasers etc, as well as FD RX7's typically run a stiffer spring rate than say an S15 or S14. SK, i'd be interested to hear your theories on this.
  4. Shouldn't cause any more load on the pump. All you're doing is circulating a larger volume of oil. No extra pressure or anything like that.
  5. I'd be more inclined to think head gasket as well. Try the stock intercooler and see how that goes, but I'd guess not much will change.
  6. I don't see why you've set the plumbing up that way. With a decent intercooler you shouldn't be seeing massive pressure drops anyway. As for the massive spike, a blow off valve is basically a piston or valve with a spring on it, and a vacuum/pressure line running to it. While the throttle body is open, the idea is that the pressure inside your inlet piping is equal to what's held inside the chamber in the blow off valve. What I'd make sure is that the vacuum line going to the blow-off valve is coming from somewhere post-throttle body.
  7. Can someone PM this to me as well.
  8. Few parts sold. More still available. Anyone?
  9. Considering the wheels are 17x9.5, it would depend on the offset. I doubt they'd fit under the front guards, but on the rear you should be able to run a 9.5 +15ish with stretched rubber.
  10. So is the kit sold?
  11. You drove at 400km/h?!?!?!?!?! What the hell were you in????
  12. Hi everyone, I had my car stolen earlier in the year, and the insurance company decided not to pay out to cover any damages from the theft. What has now happened, is that I have recieved my car back from their holding yard with a whole stack of interior parts missing. They are saying that this all happened whilst in the care of the Police holding yard and that their holding yard had nothing to do with it, and as such are saying that if it happened while the car was not in their care, then they are not liable. So what I'm getting at is I think I need to speak to a solicitor or something along those lines to find out exactly what I should be doing from this point onwards. Can anyone recommend someone to speak to? Cheers, Chris.
  13. I was wondering what it would take to get the new motor in.
  14. I must say, I've never really noticed this while driving my skyline, but I have the other day when driving my parents Toyota Camry. Another Camry went past me in traffic the other way, and I flashed my lights and waved at him as a sign of respect, and to acknowledge that we both drove one of the best selling mid-size cars that has seen Australian roads. He acted like I was invisible. Needless to say, I was cut.
  15. 33 GTR box will be an AWD box, and unless the car is AWD, it's most likely not going to be one of them. If you look under it and theres a transfer case on the box, but it's still "RWD" probably an even bigger indicator to stay away from the car.
  16. Maybe an idea would be one of the Bee-R Attesa controllers? They seem to have a whole stack of functions, but not sure if they refresh any quicker... Anyone know?
  17. I'd agree with bad boost control.
  18. Yeah, I'd be leaving the cops alone about it. If she's having some kind of personal issues, then probably best to just make the compromise. I had my neighbour report me to the EPA twice. Now I switch my car off at the top of my street and roll to a stop
  19. I used to have a neighbour that would come outside her house with a video camera whenever I started my car. I think she was losing her marbles. I'd be standing in my driveway having a smoke and letting my car warm up, and if I looked across the road, there she was, rummaging around in her hedge/fence trying not to be seen. Mid Nite R33, Why don't you warm the car up somewhere else? If you drive it slowly with no load on it, you're hardly going to damage anything, and you can probably find somewhere to let the car warm up properly. Failing that, just drive nice and easy for the first 10 minutes of driving. MRDeanos, it's all part of the fun of living on the North Shore mate
  20. I do. Make me an offer, and come pick it up. I'm not posting anything if I don't have to.
  21. Hey guys, A few people have tried to call me about some stuff, and I haven't been able to get back to you. Been flat out with work. Shoot me a PM with what you want and I'll try to get back to you. Sorry.
