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

That AJD thread on NS really brought out the best of NS.

Oh and this is fairly nasty: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...42-2682,00.html

The second vehicle, a late model Subaru with mag wheels and spoiler, was 50m away from the wreckage of the first vehicle.

Whats mag wheels and spoiler got to do with anything!? Stupid journalism.

Didn't you know Vu? Fitting mag wheels and spoilers causes your vehicle to become an uncontrollable road racing weapon. I'm pretty sure it does anyway, ACA told me so.

They didn't lie to me did they? I took my spoiler off and everything :(

And Tracy Grimshaws interview with Matthew Johns was fair, comprised of entirely unbiased questions and was conducted in a way that portrayed both sides of the story equally.

Further more cops CAN fly, the pope ISN'T catholic, and contrary to popular opinion - bears DON'T shit in the woods.

Finally - I love journalists and the fine work they do.

Thats about enough sarcasm for one post :(

i cant believe i bothered to read that ns thread... i thought there was gonna be propper flames, and b!tches tearing hair out.

Yeah ... kinda dies when they have no one to argue with ... so I gave up talking to the children when I realised it was going nowhere.

My stag is my stag. Compared to some imports on the road, I call it discrete ... whether they do or not. Its my car, so tough luck lads. :P

what was in there? all i seen was "what you got 10 members now" id prefer having 5 that dont act like they better than others :P

beats having 10 yr old members anyways :(

btw with all the tuner car attention atm i was thinking maybe we should start a bike gang, we got 2 memebers with em already and they seem to be below the rader at the moment getting no abuse. not to mention petrol savings :(

But I am 14 :P

:(

I put my car in shows and I expect criticism (and hatred for the "volvo") ... part and parcel of the whole deal. Its my car, not theirs at the end of the day. I refrain from bagging other people's cars, unless its warranted. But they were getting personal (by nit-picking the stag) based on my status here on SAU and what I've done here. A nice time for them to inflate themselves and feel good for a few posts on NS :( I'd normally give it back at em for shits and giggles, seeing as I go to NS to point out their stupidity for fun. But its the usual suspects that dribble on a bit here on SAU also, so I left it at that. We all know the score.

step 1 ask for advice on what mods to do to your car

step 2 take days off work, spend thousands on car in various workshops

step 3 wait till the next person complains about the mods you have done and begin from step 1 again

or alternatively remember who you bought the car for..............................the chicks :P

my advice add beding from front seats back, and hydrualics if you feeling lazy

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
