Me little piece of crap Corolla got defected on Friday night............ They defected it for having the track out of the guard on the drivers front wheel, and on the paperwork they put down it was a MAJOR defect, so i questioned him on how it could be a major defect and why he is sending me to Regency and why i couldn't just go to Sturt Cop Shop, and unfortunatly he showed me the book and wasn't much i could do.......

In saying all of this the cop actually rang me back the next day(must have been thinking about it/me) and said that i could take it to Sturt Cop Shop, I was cheering, couldn't believe my luck!

lol as if it got defected. poor corola.

i just noticed you sig slimjim 173.6 thats not from your GTR :/ ?? got to be a mistake

Yeah thats from the GT-R, but as Cubes said I've heard that's normal for a stocky one. Although it does have pods, 3 inch zorst from the dump pipes, and is running 11 psi (no boost controller just because of the zorst I think)

Not sure about the torque reading, I've uploaded my dyno sheet, I think I read it right haha.

Oh and it's rwkW, at BoostWorx

^^now called Synergy.

i just got my car back from boostworx, 143rwkw, bit of a drop from 150kw at turbo tune, but it was a hot day at boostworx.

i had just a 3inch straight through from cat-back when it got 150kw at turbo tune, it now has a pod, 040, and FMIC when it got 143 at boostworx. now needs the bleed valve to go on and it should get 150-160kw.

hey, i just had a brain buzz about you fellas with dashmats on the dashboard, u reckon theres any chance that when you pay for a parking docket to park in the city that at around 12-2pm your car could catch on fire because the sun magnifies thru the windshield and causes the paper to catch on fire thus causeing the dash to set alite? call me crazy but i think its plausible on a 43 degree day.

yeah... im on emergency report status only lol. i only handle the big problems here.

EDIT: I made that post a bit after 9 not at 8:14... what part of Adelaide do you live in? perth?

why not, im on a computer the whole freaken day, i got access to about 2 dozen wholesaler lists in adelaide on computer parts, im buying a car on friday which is a skyline, and I got a wealth of knowledge a post away and plenty of experiences to share with ya'll.

like last night i learnt how to drive manual, in a beefed up Sil80, within 10 minutes i got pulled over by cops and he tried to defect me (well my mates car) My mate just got out of regency recently. He flashed some papers, told the cop that last time it cost him 700 bux (the guy that pulled me over was the same guy that sent him to regency in the first place). and the cop let him off clearly knowing that isotta steering wheels are nto ADR approved nor are boostguages on the steering column... as per thread "A Good Read" he is one of the marriage counsellour type cops, asshole.

and then we won indoor soccer 2-1 at findon.

hey guys i need a little advice, im purchasing the car on friday but there is a small problem and that is the RAA couldnt get the rear left wheel off the car to check the brakes on that rotor.

Got any advice, should this sort of thing hold me up greatly?

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
