Cool, anyway I think if I get pulled over by cops I've a few other things I'd be more concerned about them finding.
-
I'm normally an honest person and would point this kinda stuff out, but if it's saving me money and because it's completely there fault I can't be held liable for any paperwork mistakes on their behalf it'll stay how it is.
-
Is that compared to the stock coils because being 20 years old getting a better spark on something half that age wouldn't surprise me, however if your comparing to aftermarkets then please elaborate.
-
So pretty much because it's there fault (I know it's not mine) I shouldn't have to worry about it? Cool thanks.
-
So in other words, just leave it as is, would that affect the third party insurance included with the rego? Obviously I've got private insurance as well. But if I was to crash would I be screwed?
-
(this may not belong here so please move to appropriate forum if necessary) I bought the car about 2 months ago now, and recently got my first rego renewal papers to see that the cars registered as an RB20 4 cylinder??? -How does this happen is it the previous owner or the D.O.T.'s doing? -What do I do about this? Is it just as simple as going into a listening centre and telling them someone firetrucked up? also I'm in WA if that affects the circumstance at all.

Can An Audio/alarm Install Affect Nistune?
are bee's replied to are bee's's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
Yeah , I'll admit the having a go part was unnecessary on my behalf, probably just heat of the moment. Understandably you'd be frustrated if you took your car in then got it back with no radio/music at all, no interior lights working. Then being told the next day your boost controller is broken. It from my knowledge was working fine before I took it in, set for 17psi did exactly that never had any problems. When i got it back every time I got into boost it would just start beeping at me, I don't really know why. (I'm not saying they had anything to do with it, it could be a coincidence) But anywho, I'd seen behind the dash of my car, I can understand if they made a mistake, it's a sh**hole back there. And I did manage to have a look in there, but all the fuses look fine, could it be a short or something? -
Yeah you gotta watch out for those, not having enough experience to pick them out I just steer clear of eBay. I might just skim through every now and then to see what an average price for something is but chances of me actually buying something from there are slim to none.
-
Let us know how the Gizzmo gos once you've got that installed/tuned. For $300 you can't go wrong... well you can, but not if it's good.
-
Is this too good to be true? G-Reddy Profec B Spec II - eBay I would normally never consider buying anything for my car off eBay, but i thought I'd check. Money's not the issue, but if given the chance I'd think we'd all like to keep some of what we earn.
-
I've got a GTR radiator in my gts-t, done by the previous owner, I doubt they would have done it if there was no benefit to it. (re-reading that makes me sound like I'm talking down on you, but I can't think of any other way to word it, english was never my forte') Anywho that's my 2c.
-
Would anyone recommend a particular place to go with in terms of half-cuts or engines. (Looking for S2 RB25DET or NEO to be dropped in a 32 gts-t. Not planning on buying "right now", just trying to know who and what's the goods before I start.)
-
+1 for there being zero good parking spots in Perth at all. No matter where you park you always come back to find bird s**t, tree sap, berries/seed things, or to find you were parked near a jealous commodore driver who couldn't resist the frustration of owning a crap car, and runs a key down the side of yours.
-
Yeah I'm running a Nistune ECU, not sure how much power, but I think just for the peace of mind I'll have to look into Splitfire's or Yellow Jackets. Thanks for the honest opinion.
-
Hey guys, highly considering this for my 32, or a very similar one using S1 AU Falcon coils, just wondering about spark strength and how they perform under boost at high revs?
-
I did one of those MITA induction courses, while at school during the last month or so of year 10. It was like a general basics on mechanics, panel beating and painting, so you get to know a bit of each. Probably not enough to be able to leave and go a project on your own, it'd be a good step up into a TAFE course or something of the like though.
-
Thanks guys, I'll have a look at these links, from forum opinion the G-Reddy Profec B Spec II seems to be the way to go haven't heard a bad word against it, so I'll look into getting myself one. Thanks again.
-
Does anyone know where in Perth or on the interwebs I could get one, maybe taking advantage of the exchange rate with the yen.
-
Hey fellas, Had may car in for a tune recently and was told my boost controller wasn't working. (one of the earlier model HKS EVC's). So obviously I'm looking to get one back in ASAP and was wondering what's the way to go in ways of value/quality without going full on overkill. In a brief look through the forums I've heard good things about the G-Reddy Profec B Spec II. Any +1's or opinions on that, or other option would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can An Audio/alarm Install Affect Nistune?
are bee's replied to are bee's's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
I haven't taken it in the second time to have stuff fixed yet, so the Nistune is still working fine, I just wanted to know for sure before I took it in again. They suspect it's just a blown fuse because it's just the head unit, and interior overhead lights. -

There's no way I'm double checking all those answers, so it's going on as is. -
Righto, so I've been told my stock injectors on my R32 RB20 are on their way out. I've seen a few DIY's on using either VN-VY Commodore or EF-S1 AU Falcon coil packs as a wasted spark set-up. Wondering if anyone has done either of these and how it goes? (any problems, spark strength/blowout etc.) Any other opinions regarding aftermarkets or any other swap-out methods would also be helpful. (Also, though unrelated I'm hearing from the rear right hand side of my car like an electrical whirring sound when idling, though thats the only time I'm out of the car to hear it, but any help on that would also be great) Thanks in advance.

Hey fellas, I just had Nistune ECU fitted and tuned on my 32 gts-t, and just beforehand had an autowatch alarm system installed. Anywho our fully profesh friends at alberts managed to make just about all my in car electrics discontinue working. I'm gonna have to take it back in to have it all fixed up again, and was just wondering if there's any chance this could affect the tune. Thanks in advance.
