Yeah i all ready sent them an email Kingy getting the Advan Neova AD08's for the R32 and i'm gonna get them New Hankook Ventus R-S3 285/35R18 for the R33 as they don't make the ad08's in a 35 profile in 285's, mackay roads are to shit house for 30 profiles. They give these new Hankook's a good wrap they are a 7.8 and the AD08's are 8.4 on tire rack so i'll give them ago, slightly cheaper aswell.

Yeah I borrowed a guard roller and did them myself, turned out pretty good I thought, didnt crack any paint... Not bad for a first try :) haha

They are 265/35 rears, factory arms etc. Just lowered a little bit, probably an inch maybe slightly more.

Still tossing up between rear camber arms or just camber correction bushes, will have to decide and take it in for a wheel alignment sometime soon

Think the camber at the front isnt to bad so not sure if ill bother adjusting front camber

Yeah adjustable arms are nice to have, but if yours is a everyday driver i would go with camber correction bushes because aftermarket arm have pillow ball ends (rose joints) and depending on what brand u buy they tend to flog out a fair bit especially mackay roads. I nearly have the full ikeya formula catalogue on my gtr, they are awesome bits a gear but cost you a arm and a leg...if only i had a spare 2k for front and rear lower adjustable roll centre kits...you wanna sponser me kingy lol

I got a full time job sponsering my own :nyaanyaa: lol...

You would not believe what i got quoted for a light globe at autobarn yesterday... $345 and have to order it in gotta be kidding me...

Is there anywhere in town that sell HID globes off the shelf??

Yeah i done the rounds today only place i could find that stock HID were ashdowns in paget but they didn't have the right one. and were 180 per globe lol

Got a pair off ebay for 110 from melbourne. Hope its the right one so many to pick from.

So I had to roll the front guards on my car today, thought they werent an issue but chewed a bit of tyre turning into a driveway the other night lol so decided to fix it today.

Hopefully all good, didnt do much damage just put a very small dint where one of the screws from the drivers side inner guard hit the other part of the guard but oh well. Not a bad job and it was free

Bored, Thought I'd put photos of my first car up seen as I got a bit nostalgic posting a photo of the engine bay in Bens build thread haha

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
