Hey shauno are you going to head back down the drags to the test and tune? it would be good to see you get a few good runs in...

Actually are you chasing a intercooler kit?? Squizz found a really good price for a full kit... I think I had better grab one... if your interested we can order in bulk... cut shipping down...

Correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am) but don't Daikin make some awesome clutches?  Although I think they're european.  

Daikin Clutch is a subsidiary of EXEDY Corporation, meaning there Japanese ...... they mainly do clutches for japanese cars, I'm telling you this because I was told I need to learn facts, but i guess your just saying your opinion, and I'm not allowed to have one of those ... so ofcourse your right an I'm wrong ....

Can i ask a q? if you had a choice between a silvia and a pulsar SSS what would you choose and why? I just tryin to decide what one i would buy for my first car as they are both 4cyl and they should be cheap to run. Im postin here cause im from gladdy

depends on your age, how much money you have, how much you want to spend on insurance, but with insurance you can always do the dodgey way and insure it under your parents name. Personally I'd go the silvia its rwd and they come in turbo. their both worth around the same now too as SR20DET silvia's are now like 8 or 9 grand for a very basic stock manual one. Just depends what you want from a car, do you want FWD or RWD?

Id prefer a RWD so i can get used to RWD before a skyline. Since its me first car i only have between 7-8 grand and i wont have much to spend each week cause id prob only have a part time job im just concerned about gettin a turbo because of maintanience etc. If anyone has owned either of the cars just let us know if u like it and the sorts of costs thanks. oh and i only really want basic stuff from the car im not after huge power just somfin to beat my mates :D Hes prob gettin a crappy hyundai tiburon lol

Ah yes the Hyundai tiburon a formidable race machine even in standard form.

You might be able to get onto a cheap NA silvia for around that 7-8 grand pricerange,

But for that kind of money i think you would be pushing it to get a turbo.

SSS or Silvia you should be able to beat your mates car.

Both a nice cars.

Good luck with whatever you get.

Just letting you know that Dev wants to plan a big cruise to the Beach on next Sunday... this is open to all... we will meet at One O'clock Sunday Afternoon at the Post Office at Shopping Fair... That is the Shopping Fair Carpark closest to musgrave street...

It will be open to all vehicles however imports are preferable as otherwise you might not keep up... he he...

So would anyone be interested... maybe even some Gladstone people might be keen for a rocky- yeppoon cruise to meet some new friends??

Last weekend we had a good cruise... although only just a few close mates and not well advertised we had a good collection of cars... Including a 33 GTR, A31 Cefiro, VR Clubsport, a brand new (read: days old) Commodore R8 and of course the dirty "Q with Boost"...

we were then joined by a few others down in Yeppoon including Rick with his GTR, jeremy and jamien with there FJ20 Bluebird... Jeffro's GTS-4 and a mixture of Kaos R32's... It was really fun and again it is welcome to all... preferably instead of meeting up at the beach we should all cruise down together...

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
