awesome photo's TurboX. Amazed that you took photos and drove haha

Missfiring car (could be ignition module) + vibrating steering wheel (wheel balance) + car pulling to the left (wheel alignment) wasnt very fun to drive and wasnt keen on pushing it. Hence i was left off somewhere in the back haha

I think at one point i would have missed a turn if TurboX didnt slow down for the turn, not sure if that was intentional or not but you saved me getting lost (again) cheers :)

looks like a good cruise. I was planning on making it but, at least i've got a good excuse!

just came back from Adelaide with a new addition to the family :)

for me was a long cruise, but pretty boring with all the highway piggies around :)

Hey Mav, did your car make it all the way home without any dramas? :)

Ummm i think i'll go with no comment :)

I know where i need to make some changes to my cooler pipes lets say that but hey it would have looked NUTS shooting fireballs :)

Changed my plugs when I got home... might explain the misfiring problem

Shit, brings back bad memories... :thumbsup:

Looks like a great cruise, any cruises organised on Sundays???

Some people have to work 6 days a week you know!!!! :rolleyes:

Mav, the work wagon it was.. :-)

Patrick , if you mean the last turn almost to go up the mountain, your right - I would not have realised either, so hung back for you.

BTW you were not doing to bad, you kept up to me, but I was having trouble keeping with Tharaka! :rolleyes:

Some more memories..

haha ye i noticed that, thanks for that :rolleyes: Car couldnt be pushed due to missfire+wheel alignment :)

Your new car has some quick acceleration there, noticed it in a few places where you pulled away quick and left my rb20 in the dust :thumbsup:

Yeah its amazing the difference I notice with my GTS4 between the RB20 Torque Miser and the AMG V8 5.5 Torque Monster! :thumbsup:

If you have to compromise with the missus, its the way to go!

Especially the fact its silent and she doesnt notice the speed near as much! :)

Last of my pics....

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
