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."

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
