Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

man did the GTR hate being driven in 45 degree weather, all kinds of random noises start apearing lol

Agreed. On the way home yesterday I had some major idle / power loss issues. Spent an hour changing the air flow meters. 1st one I replaced, went for a test drive - same problem happened.

Replaced the second one, problem hasn't shown itself again (yet - touch wood) but I'm eager to see if this afternoon changes the story.

Oh and +1 for joeleo for reconditioning the afm I lent him - I've chucked it back in and its not screwing up like before haha - thanks

not bad at all Damo and if it's a real good one and you could screw him down to $25K......i'd say good deal.

my preference would be all original dead stock V-Spec II and leave it that way.

the 200's back! yay! new clutch is nice, friction points a lot higher on the pedal than the last one, so its gonna take a bit of getting used to. shifts are so tight though, its awesome.

... but i apparently need to replace my turbo studs sometime soon. f**k.

that cars made an appearance on the 'stupidest things youve seen done to a car' thread on the 31 club...

... about 5 times.

Weeeell no not sure at all.... where is the inlet temp sensor? The problem is sporadic (aka in the 20 minute drive, it probably lost power/started to stall 3-4 times but a little bit more accelerator helped it out of the stuttering...)

If I can clean it or check the wires, it'd be a good place to start...

Its right at the front of the Plenum, but i doubt that is the problem.

Inside the plenum or outside? Would love a pic if anyone has one? :blink: I'll see what happens on the way home - if I get some twitching ill pull over and give it a bit of a wiggle, maybe test it with a multimeter when I get home

fuuk you ETSA

last night we where without power from 7 pm till 4:30 am, which = me getting no sleep.

we had to sit outside cos it was so hot inside.

get this, my aquarium heater is set at 27 deg. the thermometer always shows round 26 ish

when the power went off yesterday, i feared that maybe the water would cool and the fish would die,

nope, the exact opposite, it got so hot in here, the water temp went UP to 31 deg at 2:30 this morning.

by the time the place got cool again and i fell asleep it was 5:30 am

and guess what i come home to this afternoon? yup, power cut.

thanks ETSA.

That was so foul, no one bought it for even $4K ;)

What is it with these fools who do up Magnas? :blink: I saw one the other day lowered to all hell, with dark, dark tint and loud exhaust. Don't these fools know they're not a car you bling!?!

I owed 3 Magnas and I never did any of that shit ... waste of money!

Lol try saying that on the Magna Car Club of SA haha!! They're nuts on that forum. They love the Magna's!!

man did the GTR hate being driven in 45 degree weather, all kinds of random noises start apearing lol

Lol I wouldn't even dare to start up my GTR in this heat. It'd suck enough hot air in just idling!

Same, and i deff would't even think about hitting boost, imagine the air temps going into the motor. I dont think the intercooler would do much in this heat. Probably just heat the air more :blink:

It's a bit sus, Kye. What if the guy on the bike ran into the car? What if he had no reflective gear? Etc.

its also the fact that since there is NO sholder on the road heading towards victor/mclaren vale, means the bike rider was riding on the road in the actual lane plus there are no street lights at all so its pitch black.

so if the guy didnt do a runner, he may have been let off abit lighter.

Haha - you know about Terry Kennedy and his diss track to Lupe? "Kick Push Pass".... its all documented in one of the Beef series (number 4 I think) but I think its funny as hell - they interview a bunch of skaters and say 'all lupe did was a little ollie at the end of his video'

-D

haha nah i havent heard that one. everytime i see him on tv i laugh though haha.

wouldnt suprise me if thats all he did in a skate vid. that was pretty much all he could do :(

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
