Can we have it shipped/trucked up here?  And any idea how much that would cost?  

3:00am Ghostrider do you sleep? lol

1. You would have to get your cross member and rear trailing arms to SA.

2. After modification they would then be reshipped to QLD.

3. 0300, I am a security consultant and work a lot of nights.

4. American Beer? get a few GMD's into you, a six pack goes down like water, but it kicks like a mule.

Can anyone recommend a good Aussie intercooler?? I've priced up DNA + Hybrid + GCG and they are all roughly the same price. Im hoping to fit a GTR size behind my standard front bar (600x300x76 core size).

All the places I have contacted have not been able to give me an exact pressure drop

(I figure it will be about 2psi) or tell me if they have been bench tested. I think DNA will be my final choice, as I have heard good things about them.

I have thought about using a standard R32 GTR intercooler as many people recommend them, but want the w**k factor of a nice new, clean and shiny intercooler behind my front bar. I've been told that R32 GTR coolers only have 0.5 pressure drop across the cooler and that if they were S**t, they wouldnt use them on a GTR, but I'm not convinced.

Re the Shirts - I'd be keen for one - what colour and design????

i went with the hybrid as i got it for $600+postage brand new, i read on the powerdigger site that the hybrid 600x300x75 intercooler had "0.5psi loss at up to 40psi" and can cool around 500hps' worth of air flow. hope that helps!! had the piping made from 2 1/2" press bend mild steel for $450 installed, all up about $1100 fitted..

Alright looking to put coil overs in my car. I see the easiest option to be an s13 setup, changing to a macpherson strut setup in the front using s13 hubs and so on and going to R32 style brakes at the same time. Anything wrong with my thinking here?

Also for the rear I remember reading someone has put s13 rear coil overs in a R30, I just can't seem to find the post, I was just wondering if they bolt straight in or is some type of modification needed?

I have only really had a quick look at a silvia suspension setup so I'm no expert.

Also interested in the replacing of the boots as mine seem to have dissapeared over time, but for a DR30

Cheers for any help

the S13 rear coilovers fit up all good except they are either 2 hole at the top at the back, whereas DR30 are 3. basically u have to drill an extra hole to line up the S13 coilovers at the top. pretty simple job though. just stick one thread in an existing hole, then drill a one that matches up on the other side. i havent done this to my car but todd with DR30 on these forums has, im sure he will pipe up soon to confirm what i just said :rant:

i mite be interested in a shirt depending on it's design and price i guess.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
