  1. 2500rpm is limp home mode. You say you have codes for TPS coming up? What is it reading at idle? should be between 0.5 and 0.6V - I have mine set to 0.6 as idle quality is best there. If it is set below 0.4V it will definately cause problems too.
  2. Value and performance, IMHO the Toyo trapio TPG (GU:WN) is pretty hard to go past. Quite sticky wet and dry. See if you can get 245s fitted, 'but I have 9.5 inch rims, 245s wont fit' think again. I have seen them on a 10" rim. If you go slightly undersized on the tyre, it will give more rigidity to the sidewall, giving a better feed back and more stability on the road. Yet another opinion, have fun making the selection.
  3. can you tell me of where the precedent has been set? probably not, because its a feed of hot c0ck.
  4. Zagan, I think YOU dont get it. He is fighting the speed THEY say HE was doing - which is what the fine was for. IF he can prove that the speed they say he was doing was wrong, they MUST dismiss the case against him. Would you gladly wear a speeding fine for 50kph over the speed limit if you were doing 20kph over the speed limit? Porbably by the sounds of your post. maybe in some back wood third world country, but in case you havent noticed, this is a free society, where you can challenge anything you dont believe is valid. dont have to be a rocket scientist to work that one out.
  5. B-Man, I didnt add a restrictor, I have the same turbo as JasonO
  6. correct
  7. Oil companies need to make profits - the shareholders drive that one. If an oil company can sell the oil for $42 a barrel, then why should they be forced to sell for less? Its a business. The market price is driven by demand. OPEC simply cuts supply and bingo, demand raises, price goes up. If you were selling your car and found you could sell your car for 10% more to someone from interstate, would you then sell it at the lesser price? no, you get the most you can oil companies are no different - profit driven. sucks, but that is life. If you want to know who to blame, Paul Keating introduced parody pricing of fuel in the 80's? before this time, the cost australian oil producers could ask for their oil was limited by government regulation, but its just too late now.
  8. Thats farking nuts!
  9. cos he who dies with the most points wins! or is that toys???
  10. Interested in serparating just the pod? I already have a trust 60mm mech guage:) Is so, please let me know a price, cheers Steve
  11. Thats the problem though, if you update the engine, then you must keep the emissions requirements from that engine, so if you fit a 90s built engine, your back to sqare one. What you really want is a datsun 1600 with a 490ci ford engine and twin turbo charged:)
  12. I wish I was as big a whore as Enrico, he's got that department all sewed up
  13. Now that would be the go, start a thread and every time someone posts, more points to the thread originator
  14. come on SA guys, dont lets be over run by the interstaters - we gotta show that we can whore with the best of them Nightcrawler??? I know you are a post whore deep down:)
  15. stock radiator, water temp only goes above 81 degrees if I get stuck in traffic on hot days, and then the highest I have ever seen it was 90deg. This is using power fc peak hold function.
  16. does it still have the mesh?
  17. thats the stupidity of it all, a cooler will change emissions, as does exhaust, a poor set of plugs, changing the timing etc - they are just a big bunch of farks on a power trip. Tim Ireland even told me if I wanted to mod a car, do a pre 1972 one so it doesnt need to be emission tested - I wonder if it is current policy to encourage people to modify an old POS?
  18. the spinning star is a nice bloke award:p
  19. Now, if I could just figure out how to use them???? anybody?
  20. Your average (trust, HKS, Apexi) 600 x 300 x 76 aftermarket cooler should be good for 600+bhp. If you go for a thicker cooler you may find you cannot fit the A/C cooling fan - something to consider. I had my fan go down in summer (motor burnt out) and the A/C didnt do much on the hot days. I think you may need to get the piping made, as the kits for the coolers are generally designed for OEM fitment.
  21. Yes he does, but I just bought his last one (teach you for getting the last mission mount:)) Generally takes about 2 weeks to get them in from Japan if you order one.
  22. He works in Salisbury:) Me, 1/4 times? who wants to only drive the car for 400m? If I wanted a car to take down the 1/4, I would have bought an old holden commodore (or maybe a cortina, with a 351 in it), spent 10-15K and had a 10 second car - easy. But then there would be people doing 9 second passes - spose I would have to throw a few more large at it, then there would be others doing 8s - where does it stop? My car is built purely for driving pleasure:p all day, every day. EDIT: GO THE HKS/POWER FC COMBO! did you like that Matt? caps and bold. sorry, in stupid mood.
  23. Cusco do em, around 180 all up with a nice blue button.
