:) hey guys,

just thought would be a good idea to make a thread in which u tell everyone ur new mods?

like new sound systems, exhausts, rims, etc.... just to help each other out in getting the best prices?

everyone likes a good bargain so maybe this could be a really good thing.

so i guess i'll start!

i got 4 tyres 235/40zr18's with 80% tread from injektd belconnen for $250

then jax quickfit tyres tuggeranong fitted all four and gave me an extra 235/40zr18 and all new wheel nuts for $100

hope this helps some people out lets get this cranking!!

peace.

Oh and my latest mod... hmm been a while but my tein suspension from fulcrum was about 2300 with installation and tuning, not a terrible deal but probs cheaper going through Slide for the parts then paying Fulcrum for the labor.

My next purchase is a replacement heavy duty clutch, can get them for 380ish from Slide.

Then i want a C's short Shifter, they go for about 300ish i think.

Then i want dba 4000 slotted rotors.

Then i want... Ah the list will never end

temp sensors from autobarn you can use ford something ones, cant recall with type of ford, you will also have to change the plug to make it fit. But much much cheaper

I may have an old one lying around, will have a look when I get time, I may have also given it away already though

haven't had any issues with mine and i've done my fare share of trackdays....

And I hope you never will, touch wood. There's just been so many occurances on track cars of them cracking , and not just people bitching, for me to not warn others. DBA themselves do not recomend them to be used for track cars.

Bilstein suspension kit with swaybars etc from Elite QLD for $1920 (selling my Teins). Basically a Sydney Kid kit but delivered inside a week, and with progressive king springs instead of whitelines.

i'd go jsut jap but dont know if they have 1.5 way as not on their site.

Buy on the net Gus, you wont find a better price locally.

By the way, you will be much happier with a Nismo 1.5 Lsd over a Kaaz, they're much more street friendly and are much smoother to drive... Its worth spending the extra cash.

:wacko:

would you recommend getting the adjust. nismo one or just the normal.

Are you planning on racing?

-- If you are then go for the adjustable one.

-- If not, the standard one will be fine for the street.

You have to remember that Mechanical LSD's require a lot more maintenance than regular diffs, so the life of your new Nismo LSD depends heavily on how well you treat it.

Nismo 1.5's are easy to live with, just a bit of chatter around town, but not a lot. Can't comment on the Kaaz.

One thing I love is the way it hooks up and drives when you accelerate. None of this steering correction etc, it drives straight cos both wheels are doing the same amount of effort. Even exiting a roundabout [once your used to it] it tracks brilliantly.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

      Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
