At the moment, I'm looking for a nice set of rims, and some nice looking engine bay dressup stuff. And silicon hose cheaper than 10 dollars a meter in a range of colors...

we so far can get in csa roh an a couple other bands of wheels that ill post up l8r anythin u had in mind

an if thats the goin price on silicon hose that about wat well have it for wen we get in in

yeh that was me was only puttin them on imports mainly skylines

ah ok haha was wondering why i was the only one.

my car was the dark blue 32 with dished black rims plates were DRTY 2 im also the guy you sold that blitz bov too :O

i work just up the road from this place might swing by after work sometime.

cheers

Sorry I did't turn up didn't realise it was going to be that late. Just finishing at the gym at that time. Will definantely have to drop by 1 day & check out what you guys have though;

Yes but we are talking silicon. :(

I've always used rubber in the past but had a small issue with it cracking over time. it turns out the grommet stuff is crapo. I last grabbed usual rubber stuff from motor mates and i've had no issues since.

I'm conservative with my car. Bright poofy colours are not for me. :happy:

IF I could find some nice black silicon vac hose I would spend the extra and be done with it. I've owned the car for 5+ years now so I've most likely seen the problems of heat + rubber vac hose more so than some others. BUT it does come down to its quality as I said.. Grommet is just crap.

I like blue... so sue me. but my rocker covers are gonna be farkin red as. i guess i just want it looking kinda newish buy not stokish. i realise if the cops pull me over and look under the hood theyll get me to regency on suspect of having mods so i might aswell do it so i get a bit of "what the f**k" expresiion out of them too and try and tape the event.

just to get sent to regency..+ the cost of removing parts/ refitting...then getting farked over when they see u taping it? :unsure:

Its not so bad paul.

Providing its not dumped on its arse with powerfc h/c's sitting in the cabin, pillar guages, plenums and high mount turbo's they usually cannot pick that a modification has been done.

A little bit of prettyness won't get you defected as it all depends on what you say at the time.

"I used silicon hose as it withstands the engine bay heat better, the standard rubber stuff cracks every couple of years."

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
