thinking about changing to one of these

wait till you throw a balance shaft on the 4g63, mine did off idle , a very common problem, destroyed the block in seconds. and the all wheel drive fuel economy sucks.

mitsu dependability :cool:

turbo failure a few months later, and a few clutches, gearboxes, and transfer cases later.. good thing it was only a daily not a racer, or it would have never made it to the race track...daily driver, hell it was broken down more then it worked..lol

and that was on a basically stock tune evo/vr4 drive train, not a highly tuned monster.

plus R34 prices have fallen into the toilet for resale ?

go for the Lada..lol they come with duct tape and bailing wire to make them last forever..lol

I drove Munro's Evo 8 when it was brand spanking new and it really didn't inspire me .... and looked like a chick's car .... yawn

At the end of the day it is STILL a lancer

so i went to lonsdale to get my r32 inspected (vic -> sa) and of all the things i could possibly get picked up for...window tinting...

'too dark on the rear quarters and the whole rear window'.....silly stuff, guess im back to peeling...

I knew someone would piss on my parade :(

parade pissing is awesome.

a 19mm nut on my front left strut pissed on mine, last person to work on the suspension partially rounded it. cant fit a 19mm anything onto it. pu.

Did they let you drive it away from there? When I changed over rego at Regency on my old MX6 in 2002 they gave me a razor blade and told me to get the tint off on the spot, else get a tow.

Sounds like a light angle grind on each side then a shifter spanner or locking pliers Dave. Works a treat!

+1 have done this a few times,

also a thin file on a rounded phillips head makes for a good ghetto once off flat head fitting

anyone know when/how carsales.com updates? or anyother sites i should check out

im pretty sure tradingpost.com is every thursday but i dont know about the other sites.

i like to keep my eyes peeled for any 240z dato's for sale amunst a few other oldschools. 14k is the best ive seen for a clean 240 so far.

cops wont hate on it and i might even be able to park at shopping malls with it.

lol sounds like my issues dave, sinergy put my tires on and obviously used the wrong size socket on my expensive blue alloy lug nuts. had two rounded out in a big way, they went thru the trouble of filing them off after they got them off to remove the burr they left . only issue was it shows bad on blue nuts when the rest of it is shiny alloy.... trained monkeys , a socket must fit tight on the lugs or the rattle gun kills them when you hit the trigger, its not rocket science ????

Oh damo,, its always better to piss(hear about issues) before you shit(buy a piece of shit)

you could always buy a forden executurd...lol

build a RB30DET GTR driveline, VE holden.. ex cop car...lol talk about stealth

AFAIK those sites are live, so once u submit an ad it is up for the length of time that u pay for (much like ebay)

Or enclose the bottom of the VE, put a few fins on, and turn it into the boat that it is. RWKW? I think not. How many killerwasps do you have at the prop man?

For all you Galaxy, Star-loving people out there...

Earth is tiny compared to these other planets:

i didnt know jj.am had educational stuff? i thought it was all just naked chicks and racist gifs.

you know what that all means though? we all gotta start compensating for size of our planet.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
